Summary: The tower is shaking and something wicked this way comes...Use this log for all evacuation purposes.
Warnings: DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!

[There so little time and so much to do. Now's the time to spring into action!

((OOC - Set up evacuation logs, rescue attempts, etc. If you can, make sure you mark down the time of when a specific thread is happening due to the events unfolding.

UPDATES:
August 13, 1:40PM EST - All superhuman powers nearly nullified; technologically based powers halved in power. Monsters currently flooding upper levels, lowest levels not yet entirely infested.

August 14, 3:45AM EST - Powers return, but are unstable; they flicker in and out and the strength varies wildly. It's hard to tell if you'll get a full-strength blast or next to nothing.

August 14, 12:20PM EST - The Tower has been completely swarmed with monsters down to the Eighteenth floor. Powers are more stable now, although there may be occasional flickering of ability.

The monsters are tearing up floor thirty-three, ruining the farmland and anything growing on it. The monsters are smashing everything in floor twenty-seven, which makes for a lot of broken glass and mixing chemicals that probably shouldn't be so carelessly combined.

August 15, 9:10PM - Powers have returned reliably, though the actual power is now a bit unstable, with the lights prone to flickering. Anyone who has died will now begin to revive in the infirmary, which is guarded by a swarm of retrieval units. This is the first time the actual returning process can be seen--one retrieval unit appears from a cramped elevator and deposits the unconscious, previously dead person on one of the beds. They revive soon after, with the appropriate amount of sleep paralysis.

The monsters have swarmed down to floor five. They are ruining everything in the workshop not bolted down and some things that are. CDs, DVDs, and televisions are being smashed in the media room.

August 18, 1:30PM - The remaining monsters have been eliminated.))]

[Gamzee was one of the last people to leave the dorm floors, because he was just that stupid. After he made sure Karkat was safe, he'd vaulted off of the network terminal and headed for the stairs. The belongings in his trunk and room were left untouched and entirely forgotten. Luckily, he'd been carrying his clubs around with him for the past few weeks. They made it a lot easier to take out his anger on whatever he saw fit - something he'd realized only after he'd bruised and sprained most of the bones in his hands.]

[Holding the pair in one hand, he began descending the staircase, losing his balance quite a few times as the Tower took a nasty hit. He'd missed numerous stairs at once, skidding down the spiral and almost breaking his neck.]

[Tavros was in the Tower somewhere. It'd be a long process, but he was going to check every single motherfucking floor as fast and as thoroughly as he possibly could before making his way to the bottom of the Tower.]

[Someone was certainly abusing the fuck out of their time powers right now with reckless abandon. She wasn't red and swooshy, but she was jumping forward at small intervals in hopes it wouldn't cause too much of a ripple.

Which would explain why one minute she suddenly appeared next to Gamzee, who was going way too slow to avoid the fucking whale crashing through the ceiling. So with her gun in her good hand, and very very painfully trying to grab his wrist with her bandaged and splinted up hand, she started yanking him forward down the stairs and away from smashing his head on the spirals.]

[Luckily, he was used to all this stupid Time bullshit by now. He had had it up to his motherfucking horns with cloned Eridans suddenly appearing next to him and talking behind him and scaring the shit out of him. That month was fucking ridiculous. Gamzee didn't know jack diddly dick about Jade or her powers, but if people were popping up in front of his face, it was a hell of a lot easier to chalk it up to Time Shit than to give it any more thought.]

[Except she was tugging on him, now, and he was losing what little balance he had managed to hang on to. He could feel his feet getting tangled on each other beneath him. Ah, fuck, fuck. There was a reason he wasn't flashstepping down these stupid stairs, God dammit. When they'd made their way to the thirty-eighth floor, he pulled his arm back, tugging her with it in an attempt to shake her off.]

MY STOP, MOTHERFUCKER.

[She was pretty easy to yank around unfortunately, and holy shit ow that was probably pushing some more bones out of place in her hand, but she did her best to keep her grip on him and restrain the grunt of pain. Though she did at least stop running.]

You fucking kidding me?! At this rate you're about to become Pinnochio and get eaten up by a giant fucking space whale!

DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!!

[He was still waving his arm around, trying to get her to let go of him! God, kid, you were gonna get hurt up here you stupid asshole!!!]

I'm getting my fuckin' search on at someone! Dunno what all floor he's being to all hole his fuckin' self up in, so I gotta look on 'em all!

THE FUCK YOU DOING UP HERE, ANYWAY!?

[If it was possible to verbally keyspam, that's about what Jade would be saying, 'cause that was kind of her mental process at the moment. It doesn't take much more effort after the arm flailing to get her to let go because holy shit ow.]

I'm here trying to help dumbfucks like you that are still up here get down to the bottom so they don't turn into a dumbfuck pancake.

[Her gun had been relegated to being help under her arm, as she needed her other hand to nurse the broken one right now.] But if you insist on being a supreme idiot, I guess I'm sticking around helping you find your stupid friend too.

[You retard you're going to get yourself killed he doesn't want ~~that~~ to be responsible for your sorry ass for fuck's sake!!!]

I KNOW ALL DAMN FUCKIN' WELL HOW TO GET TO THE FUCKING BOTTOM OF THIS CRUMBLING MOTHERFUCKING FOGPHALLUS, YOU ANDROGYNOUS PIECE OF SHIT!

[STOP TRYING TO HELP HIM HE'S NOT GOING TO WATCH YOU DIE HE IS GETTING FUCKING PISSED OFF. Oh. Oh, shit there went another tremor.]

FUCK!

[He was on the edge of a step when the staircase rocked violently, sending his shoe clear off of the stairs and making him bust his shit on the ground of floor thirty-eight. Smooth. So fucking smooth.]

[She was all up and ready to shout back (and was kind of already squinting at "androgynous piece of shit"), but then there was a tremor, which, while Jade had somehow managed to kneel down fast enough to not get bowled over, the idiot clown she was with was not so lucky. She tried to make a grab for him when he fell, but yeah that, didn't quite pan out.

Thus she hopped off the staircase and over to where the idiot was laying, and held out her good hand to help him up.] Yeah, real fucking capable I see. Suck it up pansy-ass, because I'm helping whether you like it or not.

[Fuck Jade. Fuck her for being a good friend. He was not in the fucking mood for this. Gamzee swatted her hand away, rising shakily to his feet once more and glaring down at the girl, lip curled in an animalistic, fangy sneer.]

Can't fuckin' STAND YOU.

[WHAT IS NICE HOW DOES IT WORK. UGHHHHH EMOTIONS. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK.]

If you're all motherfucking INSISTENT ON STICKING AT MY FUCKIN' PURPLE ASS LIKE SOME SHITTY TIMEGLUE, better to be all makin' at yourself motherfucking useful and telling in me if you're all to be seeing a cowering brother with big-ass horns like this.

[He holds his palms out, facing each side of his head, about a foot away. Gamzee's eyes narrow, and a creepy as fuck grin sets on his face.]

Most adorable motherfucker you was all ever to be layin' stubs on, is how you'll motherfuckin' know.

That's nice because you're being a downright fuckwad. [At least him swatting her hand didn't hurt as much as it could've, though she did wave it in the air a bit to get rid of the sting.]

If you learn to calm your fucking tits I'll divine where your dumb troll bro went.

[And she lifted her foot and gave him a nice kick in the shin because physical violence seemed to be the best way to calm him down, and then dashed towards the the staircase to descend.

It only took another moment to Gamzee, but for Jade, it had to be a good few hours, hopping around and going back and forth, but she was able to magically divine where his friends were hiding, and jumped back down the stairs and over the railing onto the 38th floor.]

Wh--

[Oh for the love of--]

NO!!! YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!

[He was left there, face scrunched to oblivion in an infinite, twisting mass of fury. But... awkwardly enough, he only had about fifteen seconds to stand there like a stewing, pathetic loser before she came hustling back up the stairs.]

I fucking.

HATE.

All you MOTHERFUCKING TIME BITCHES.

Don't worry, I hate us too. [She don't even care.]

Now you coming, or what? I give us about T-Minus 75 before this thing crushes our fragile little bones.

Well, YOU ALREADY GOT ONE MINE OUT OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WAY.

[In a stunning display of maturity, he swings his (uninjured) leg back down in a revenge-kick to Jade's leg. THAT SHIT HURT, OKAY!? It didn't matter that he was about a foot taller than her, fuck that shit.]

Ladies motherfuckin' first, asswipe.

--OW what the fuck?!

[She hopped on one foot to hold her no doubt bruised leg whie her gun clattered to the ground because it was really hard to hold a lot of things with only one functional hand.]

Fuck you, you stupid clown!!

[F u c k this, she swiped her gun off the ground once she was content with putting weight on her leg again, and departed towards the staircase again, this time slower so Gamzee could follow.]

[Yeah, yeah, he'd heard it all before. That's what she fucking gets for kicking him in the shin, stupid time bitch.]

[But... as he followed, trying not to fall again from the tremors, he caught up to her on the stairs, snatching her up by the crook of the (good) arm and tugging her back one last time.]

Hey.

...Thanks.

I guess.

For a lot of shit.

[She was ready to bitch at him about pulling her back again, but then he was. Surprisingly not a douche. Hey, he even got a small, un-ironic smile for that.]

I said I'd help a bro out, right? No problemo. [And then she jerked her head back towards the stairs.]

Now c'mon, let's go find your bro, 'cause right now's probably right about the time he's freaking the fuck out.

[And awaaayyyyyy!!]

[Well, Jade, you got that right.]

[Tavros is freaking the fuck out. Actually, so is Equius. They're both freaking the fuck out. Underneath a giant tree that seems to be relatively stable in case the sky or ceiling or whatever falls down on them is two shivering lowbloods, looking really stupid and kind of huddled together. Seems the brownblood - the one with the obnoxiously big horns - is clinging to the yellowblood, who has by this point given up struggling (because ew brownblood) and is quietly resigned to his position of latching post.]

...What's up there?

[Equius is glancing upward every so often. Past the tree. Into the, um, 'sky'.]

Is this... some kind of simulation? Is there fracturing wood or... or something above it?

[ Man, Tavros is not even trying to calm the fuck down. Not trying at all! He was more than happy to sit here, latch into this guy and embrace their impending doom. Oh, and panic of course. Seems like a pretty good plan to him!

Every single noise or sudden movement made Tavros cringe in alarm, and once Equius spoke all he could do in jump a little and quickly glance upward, clawing and gripping into the yellowblood's shirt mercilessly.

This kid needs like 50 moirails or something. ]

I ... don't know.

[ Fuck, the sky, ceiling whatever better not fall down on them! More ... panic. ]

Oh god, what are we supposed to do now?!!

Edited 2012-08-14 19:15 (UTC)

[He doesn't respond to Tavros' new clinging fit, only pressing further against the trunk of the tree. It's... well. He would like to say that he's rather be wandering around on its own as opposed to being stuck here with a lowblood, but that's getting harder and harder to say. Yes, he likes the company, okay?]

[Oh my lord, someone get these losers their palebros.]

H-here, um... we just stay here.

[Tree. Got a tree. Yup.]

T-this thing is... it's been here for years, I think, I mean... it's solid...

...I think we'll be fine if, uh, we stay here...

[HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. WHY IS HE DOING THIS.]

[ Tree. This tree would be able to keep them safe. Okay, cool. Equius is the man and he knows what's best for them, right? Right. He'll just have to trust him now.

Tavros nods, letting out a shaky sigh and trying his best to ease down the shivering. Breathe. Breathing ... is good. Yeah, let's stick to deep breaths and awkward cuddles. ]

... Okay! I, uh, I can ... I can do that. Just ... sit here and ... wait ...

Maybe it will s-stop, if we stay here, and wait. Yeah!

[ Man, he couldn't even believe his own bullshit. But, it might offer some fake comfort to the other? Give and take, you know? Maybe they would be successful in calming each other down in the end.

It is unlikely to happen but whatever. ]

Yeah, I mean... it's cover...

[It's something put against them and the tower. That's all it is. It'll hold up for a little while, but they have to run when everything starts coming down, and Equius? Does not want to run. He is perfectly fine dying here, okay. He does not want to get out there under any circumstance, and probably, Tavros doesn't either.]

S-stop?

...Yes, it will have to stop. The administrators, they know what they're doing, right? I-I mean... they've always been in power before...

[This is quite possibly the biggest case of denial that the world has ever seen, but that's okay, because Equius is remarkably good at denial.]

[Whether you liked it or not Equius, someone was about to come make you start running, because Jade certainly wasn't having anyone ~~besides herself~~ dying on her watch. She showed up on the floor for the second time (though hopefully they didn't see her the first time), this time on a roughly linear path and accompanied by one pink-haired highblood.

When she caught them in her sights, she jumped off the staircase, gun in hand, and stood a few feet away from the lowblood pair to point them out to Gamzee, before turning her full attention to them.]

Yo, you two relatively unscathed?

Edited (casually fails html) 2012-08-15 04:28 (UTC)

[One pink-haired highblood was ridiculously relieved to see the body of a bull boy that wasn't blanketed in brown blood by now. Holy fuck that was a lot of b words. He leaped from the stairs in Jade's wake, standing before the pair, as well, with nothing but a look of annoyance plastered all over his face.]

Fuckin' fi--

[Wait, the...]

[...pair.]

[The pair.]

[THAT FUCKING PHALLUS-HORNED STRING BEAN WAS GRABBING ON TO HIS FLUSHCRUSH LIKE HE WAS CHECKING A MOTHERFUCKING FRUIT FOR OPTIMUM RIPENESS.]

[Okay, Equius really wasn't grabbing Tavros like that. It was more of an awkward cling, but through the filter of "I-hate-this-motherfucker" and "what-the-fuck-is-he-doing-to-my-brownblood," he was as good as taking full advantage of him right in front of Gamzee's eyes.]

[He didn't finish the sentence, just stood there. With the widest eyes and the smallest pupils imaginable, fixed almost simultaneously on every point of contact their bodies were making. His lips peeled back from his fangs, allowing a highly-unsettled growl to bubble up behind them.]

[Upon Gamzee's shoulders sat a small person (boy or girl? It was hard to tell) that he'd picked up off the forest floor earlier. She stared a little wide eyed at the two of them. One a familiar face, the other ... not so much. But the by the actions of the others she could figure out that he must have been who Gamzee was looking for.

The growl vibrated up through her body and somehow became even more threatening than the much stronger shaking from the tower. This really wasn't good at all, they had to get to safety. Gently she tugged at his hair to get his attention and spoke in a hushed voice]

Come on, we've gotta go...

[Suddenly she was starting to remember what Equius had told her and she really really hoped that this wouldn't be the proof]

I- I'm okay. We're ... okay.

[ He nods to Jade. I mean- check him out. He's totally fine, half-shaking and in a fetal position. Don't mind him at all!

He's not really sure how they managed to find them, but-- it was somewhat comforting to be surrounded by more people, and he didn't feel as bad as he did a while ago. That explains why he finally released Equius from his death grip, withdrawing his claws off the wrinkled piece of fabric.

R.I.P Equius shirt. It's been a real champ.

Of course, all good things must come to an end, and now that he managed to take a decent look at the highblood, anxiety strikes again. ]

Um .... bro?
