[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.))]

[Equius had stopped after he was out of sight from their original location. So by this point, he wasn't exactly running around like a headless chicken anymore, but was rather sitting behind one of the few large rocks in the area and trying to catch his breath. Of course, it wasn't coming easily -- been too long since he's had to run for his life -- but even though he had put Gamzee well behind him, Equius didn't make any noise aside from his already-heavy breathing.]

[After a while of sitting there listening to the Tower crumble to pieces above him, Equius' fear of being buried alive finally overcomes his fear of Gamzee. He gets up and starts walking once again, back in the direction he came from; his run had more or less been a straight line, after all, and he'd have to see the staircase that was swirling into the sky eventually.]

this whole thread is so quality it belongs in an art museum

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Search party?! [W h a t] We don't have time to put one togeth--!

[Thankfully, Jade wasn't going to waste much more time arguing with Wriggle, as it was just about now that Equius finally came back into her line of view.]

Oh thank sweet merciful Jesus. [She said half under her breath half not caring how loud she was she was saying it ironically anyway. She waved for Wriggle to follow her and started running, making a beeline for Equius.]

Hey dick bag, we gotta get to the staircase and fast unless we all wanna become some nice new stains on the carpet.

[wrigurun]

[Wriggle was about to argue, a few ladybirds had already been summoned for their help but as it turns out they weren't needed. There was half a sense of relief and half a sense of irritation. This was no time to be fooling around! Following Jade she had half a mind to start having a go at him but it looked like that was already being taken care of]

Come on! If you're going to run anywhere then run downstairs!

[She got behind Equius, placing her hands firmly on his shoulders and making an attempt to push him towards the stairs]

[geometry]

W-wait, wha—

[Yeah, that whole 'talking' thing? That died off pretty quickly. So with two people suddenly telling him to hike his ass down the stairs, Equius wasn't really in the mood or position to argue. Even Wriggle's pushing was enough to shake him into motion, and then he moved quietly for the stairs, looking around constantly — at Jade, at Wriggle, at nothing in particular where he knows Gamzee is waiting for him, just knows.]

[That was... pathetically easy.]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[Pathetically so or not, it was better than it being stupidly difficult. She followed Wriggle's lead, grabbing Equius' wrist as she shifted her gun around and started pulling him from the front, half running for the stairs and half being considerate for the people behind her.]

No time for freak outs, bro. Gam and the bull kid are already headed down, so that's our cue to put the pedal to the metal.

[wrigurun]

[While her pushing was rather forceful she was careful not to shove him to the ground or into Jade. Even though they were finally making an escape she didn't really feel any more at ease]

Come one, come on! If you get hurt I can't carry you the whole way down.

[geometry]

I'm going, I'm going! [Oh god. He's being bossed around by a human girl and a demon kid with antennae. What is his life coming to? Contemplating this, though not too much since it would cause him to lose his footing and bring everyone into a sort of staircase Katamari ball, he allowed himself to be pushed/pulled down the stairs.]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[Hey, this human girl just happened to have saved not only your sorry ass, but helped your moirail's ass out sometime in the past or the future. Be grateful!

But thankfully they were able to make it to the stairs in time before anything collapsed and no one died yet for today!]
