of those blackholes & revelations
WHO: All imPorts.
WHERE: Atropos.
WHEN: January 7th to January 14th.
WARNINGS: Death and destruction.
SUMMARY: Atropos has risen in the night, and the inevitable has come: with her jaws she shears away the City from Earth and swallows it whole.
But the City is not yet dead.
FORMAT: Whatever you please.
The formless mass of metal haunting above, hovering like a lunar tombstone, begins to take shape. Asteroids plummet into the cheeks, the eyes, carving out bone structure. Her features howl with fury, with triumph, as she stares down below, savoring her conquest. A cavity opens. Metal swoops to form jagged, angry shears. Her teeth are born.
She waits as the world rotates, its spin more wobbly than it used to be.
And then she leans down to feast, her bite vampiric. She takes the City and then some, and all that it encompasses, so that every single imPort is captured. She takes the time to drink in any stragglers, any imPorts elusive to the City's thrall.
She holds the City on her tongue as she draws back her fist to punch the world.
And then teeth close to the shuddering, glass shattering vibration of a cosmic laugh. The jaws close, and there is no light for about an hour -- until Atropos begins to siphon solar energy from the sun into her veins. She is dissatisfied with its dying tint, or perhaps she cannot stand the redness of color, so once she injects this energy into her her body (her most intimate domain), she turns it bright yellow again. The universe within her is illuminated.
The City is a floating chunk of broken skyscrapers and puckered asphalt streets. The trauma of consumption has wrecked the usual infrastructure: buildings are half collapses, or skeletal, vehicles are flipped and strewn across the layout. Whatever vegetation that is still clinging onto life has rejoiced under the return of normal sunlight.
You can breathe. It isn't too hot, or too cold -- it's unusually pleasant, in fact. The sunshine veins that light your world are not overwhelming. There is no blue sky to complement the atmosphere, and whatever water still in the City will be constrained to the bottled kind found in shops.
But there are other floating pieces of worlds, and they might have water. Or food.
If you live in the City, your possessions should still be in the City. While about 76% of the natives have fled the City (which had gotten the brunt of focus over the past week), there are still some natives who were too sick, too sentimental or too stubborn to leave.
You'll find that your powers work normally, though you can't teleport within Atropos. You probably wouldn't want to teleport outside of her, anyway.
She swallows, and the City gentle glides down a slick throat. Dust and particles create stunning visuals, like the aurora borealis, except in warmer colors. Light reflects so easily from solar veins and starstrewn flesh.
While you can breathe easily, gravity is fickle. Physics is often defied. Atropos was never one to play by the rules.

[ And also his pride. He didn't need to state that he'd been outdone by a machine, even if she was something more now. ]
Now, it seems like it may be a good reason to get you to her, but this might be it for me. Good thing I'll probably just float in space until someone restarts me.
no subject
[They do not have time for people sitting around feeling sorry for themselves and not doing anything about it.]
There's also the fact that she can't stand Atropos and every one of us who gets out is a victory on that front.
no subject
[ Plain and simple. Tony knew it, Val knew it. ]
Now, we still need to find the old metal monster, don't we?
no subject
What have you still got for sensors? Anything but your onboards?
no subject
[ He didn't sound happy about it, either. He was actually pretty pissed, but then again, what did he expect? ]
Most of mine were locked in with my orbital satellites, and I'm pretty sure they're well and gone right about now. Not very good. You have anything we can use?
no subject
[Richards kids get kidnapped and/or run away a lot.]
I can probably follow gradients in hyperspace if I concentrate.
[It's something she's been reluctant to experiment with, given the current state of reality.]
no subject
What good is that going to do us, though? That's the big question. We need to think about that too.
[ He sighed. ]
Most of mine are basic, suited for what I use the suit for. Cameras, the usual sensors, but nothing fancy. [ Hell, he can't even record. ]
