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.

no subject
I could keep an eye on them. It would give you the opportunity to scout ahead, as we'll only be wandering aimlessly otherwise.
no subject
[ Otherwise it should be working.
She glances between her cat and Kanaya. ]
Are you sure? He's really... [ His ears fold back and he whines. ] In a bad mood?
no subject
Well, he can join the club, perhaps as the official mascot. It gives the two of us a commonality right from the outset.
no subject
Easy, kitty cat. We've got our work cut out for us.
It's Kanaya, right?
no subject
Yeah, and you were Karen, yes? [ "power girl" is a name she's yet to hear. ]
not the best icon for this but does tags before renewing account
As she hands the cat over, she freezes, mouth hanging a little open while staring back at Kanaya. ]
Uh... [ The temptation to slap herself is great. ] Should have known that place would bite me back in the —
[ She groans. ]
Power Girl... and Karen. I'll explain later.
no subject
[ but that's all kind of needless pedantry. ] I suppose it doesn't matter now, either way.
no subject
Do me a favor anyway and please keep it to yourself. Unfortunately, there's still some folk from home who would gladly use that sort of information against me.
[ She had to butt heads with the Riddler and Two-Face. ]
no subject
plus, she has a cat digging his claws in her arm and slapping his tail around in his own unease, right against her nose. this is no setting for sharing life stories. ]
I doubt there's really many left for me to share it with, and even less reason to. We've far more important concerns now.
no subject
She winces when she notes the cat's claws are out. ]
It's hard to tell whether or not things are going to remain the way they are or blip out of existence after all. I've seen enough of these situations to know it doesn't always end nasty, but...
[ As she lifts herself back into the air, she shakes her head. ]
Something about this isn't right.
no subject
[ kanaya looks up at her incredulously as she tries to stay close as she can without traveling on a z-axis. even if peej has to put some distance between them as she scouts, kanaya'd rather not let her out of sight. ]
no subject
[ She narrows her eyes. ]
There's usually something else. Someone else. Someone who's provoked the multiverse, like Luthor or Superboy-Prime or cosmic gods.
This started somewhere, somehow.
no subject
[ it's hard to tell from the sky, but the cracks all seem to imply the shape of a canopy. something they could be inside. ] Whoever it is that owns this Space, that will be the one behind it. But the last time I felt it in such chaos, we were on a different Earth.
no subject
You don't mean Asthenoa or Capers.
[ Having been to both places, they're extremely different in comparison to wherever they are. ]
no subject
This one was more...alien. [ and normally she dislikes that word, but it isn't applying to her at least. ] I never determined what it was called, but perhaps I simply couldn't understand what they were calling it. Before you ported in probably.
It was all water, the large and mostly dangerous cities floating atop it. I was told something was wrong with the magic there, maybe that was the reason.
no subject
Was it a world reliant on magic?
[ She quickly checks their immediate vicinity, glancing side to side for anything potentially dangerous or useful. ]
no subject
[ she's never been sure if the fact that new vesuvius only seemed worse than tiraforsae is because they actually understood what was happening on new vesuvius. but then, maybe some parts of tiraforsae wouldn't have been as unpleasant if they hadn't entered it blind and unable to communicate. ]
Skrulls are a complicated topic. What can be said is that they worked with Vulcanus, but I think that was as much to their misfortune as ours.
