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.
lucke: (Contemplative moment)

Omg I never got a notification for this! I'M SORRY

[Lancer frowns at her offer but makes no move to retrieve it.]

I would gladly accept your offering if I thought I could put it to use.

[His tone is polite, almost formal. Gifts are a matter of honor and not lightly turned down.

He sighs.

It would seem I'm under some kind of coercion to walk the remaining fraction of this world divested of wear.

[ she looks at him for a few long moments, screwing up her lips and still holding up the dress. ]

If this is some ill-advised scheme to get me to put it on for you, it is sorely unappreciated.
lucke: (Heh)

[Blink]

I didn't know that was an option.

[His grin spreads.]

Care to discuss terms?

[ not an option she ever wanted, her eyes narrow as his smile widens. if that's how it has to be played, she'll play her own game. ]

If it's terms you want, I have one. Should there be any kind of movement from it toward me, I will remove it.

[Instead of recoil, her threat only serves to brighten his spirits, as he lets loose a hearty laugh.]

Duly noted. Have no fear, I am quite adept at keeping beasts tame. I would not let myself be disgraced in such a fashion.

[He seems to consider something for a moment, before sighing.]

I believe my curse of disrobing can be dispelled.

[ she screws up her lips and wonders at that a moment, more than a bit skeptical. ] Is it by means more complicated than clothing you?

[ which is really code for "how much am i going to not like this?" ]

Well, that's the thing. [scratching his chin.]

If I interpret the meaning of this strange persuasion I'm under, I need to 'Bear myself to someone'. And I think its manifesting as my disregard to vestments.

[ she lets her hands fall, holding the dress at her waist, as she considers that. ]

So, if there were no one to which you could bare yourself, you would be able to clothe yourself unimpeded?

Or is there a more abstract interpretation you're considering that I've missed?
