Premonitions (Open)

[Pig God, God of Pigs]

Palisade City has had it's share of weird events happening the past few months. As such, when cracks begin to form in the sky, the people in the streets start to walk quickly away from the scene, wanting no part of whatever was happening.

However, only moments later, a man falls out of a tear in the sky, crashing through a light post to land in a heap at the corner of a street!

[Sage Sudeki]

Spike was really just out trying to find a good cup of hot cocoa when he saw the cracks forming... He had so much on his mind, so many things he was trying to do... Why this? Why now?

Once the cracks opened up and a person fell from the sky he would rush to the location instinctually grabbing the handle to his Katana as he did so. Waving at people as he got close.

"Back away! Get away from here now!"

He tried to be as authoritative as possible.

[Novocaine]

Nova's ears would flick at the sound before she'd turn to look at the cracks.

"What the fuck..?" she'd ask under her breath, eyes widening as a body came falling through. One that looked too familiar to ignore like most anything else she didn't feel concerned her.

She'd quickly run towards the scene, being a few streets over.

[Atlas Steele]

Hearing a person shouting to get away, to back off, Atlas would walk towards the scene of the crime that was happening, or at least he assumed before taking a deep breath.
The sensation of something crawling on his skin made him put up his guard for a moment before he would then simply nod.

"Hello! My name is Atlas!" He would shout towards the man that had just now shouted to get away, raising his one arm to show that he had a little bit of strength for this situation. "Point in whatever direction you need me to evacuate people from, Will be doing my best to see what is going on and to help!"

Before taking a deep breath once again and letting this all simmer in the back of his mind as he would start to feel sweat form on his back, he didn't know what this sensation was coming from, but he was certain that something was going to go wrong.
It was the same when he once met his old teacher and he found himself trembling at the sight of his build...

---

Doing my best! with good old assuming Atlas!

[Pig God, God of Pigs]

"Nnnngh...."

The man says, slowly pushing himself to his feet. Judging from his general state, it looks like he's been put through the wringer, as there's burns and singe marks on his clothes and body.

The civilians eagerly take Spike's advice, getting the hell out of the way!

[Sage Sudeki]

Seeing Nova arrive on scene made him feel better, and then a large muscle man appeared as well... Reminded him of a Katashi, but he didn't have the attention span to even think about that right now. People were evacuating on their own, so he would point to any stragglers and to down the road.

Spike would nod to Nova before walking closer.

"Hey buddy, you okay? Friend or foe?"

[Rhona Hall]

Rhona watched as the commotion played out while she was doing a bit of shopping. She hurried to pay for her groceries and shoved everything in a backpack before going out to see if she can be of some aid. Her sleeveless halter showed her scars across her muscled arms and thick knuckles pointed out to all who knew she was a capable fighter. This might not call for a brawl but she was reporting for duty.

She didn’t draw attention to herself but waited and observed the situation.

[Avalon Salabim]

Avalon had been on her way home when she saw the crack in the sky. Frowning slightly, she made her way to the area where she had seen it, along with...whatever had fallen from the sky. The distance was too far for her to be certain, but she had a guess. Given how many people were in a panic, it was simple to tell when she was nearing the right area and soon found a small group of unfamiliar faces.

"Is everything alright?" she asked as she neared the group.

[Novocaine]

"Don't...get too close." Nova would warn Spike and anyone else approaching.

Her eyes stayed glued upon the blonde man on the ground, noting the charred pieces of clothing and having a good enough guess as to who that was from.

She'd narrow her eyes, struggling to decide if that man was still an enemy of Prota...or if any of that even mattered anymore in her current state.

[Atlas Steele]

Taking a moment to take the information that was given to him, Atlas would follow the order almost instantly as he noticed a few people starting to approach the middle area as he would wave his massive arms to try and draw the attention of the people that weren't meant to be here.

"The blonde pretty boy has declared for civilians to getaway here! Remember, Teamwork is of importance and we must carry each other wherever we can!" As he would shout at a few civilians that tried to abandon an elderly person.

Upon noticing that the rest were able to evacuate correctly, he would take a deep breath upon relief before turning around and looking confused at what had happened, as his eyes couldn't believe it at all.
The damage on the area where this stranger had fallen made absolutely no sense... Did he come from the sky itself?! Looking around in confusion as he took in the people that were around and preparing themselves, Atlas couldn't help but lick his lips behind the mask that he used on his face.

"I feel like I am in a ring where I do not belong and I am about to see the most magnificent story..." He would mumble quietly before then checking wherever he could if anybody was left behind or hurt from the chaos that had ensued.

[Pig God, God of Pigs]

The man finally gets to his feet, looking around with a briefly dazed look in his eyes before blinking it away. He holds his elbow, the arm hanging limply at his side, before looking at those coming closer to him.

“…I’m fine. Though I’m guessing…”

He glances at Nova.

“…that the second part’s up to you.”

The remaining civilians evacuate, leaving only those who chose to stay and investigate remaining.

The cracks in the sky also don’t seem to be fading.

[tsu]

Nothing said 'Today's going to be one of those days' more than supernatural rips in the fabric of reality and space-time and Tsu knew full well missing out on something like that was not an option after all. She had been in the city purchasing materials to fix up an old boat she found washed ashore not long ago and after leaving Trykia the incident occured. It may have been the screaming or the rampaging populace evacuating that caught her interest, but the cracks in the sky helped, surely, oh and the body falling from the sky too!

Not hesitating a moment to rush to the scene she soon came to realize she was late to the party, but did recognize a bystander. Rushing to Atlas' side she'd ask, "Did I miss anything yet? This looks exciting." A slight grin creased the corner of her lip, but faded as soon as she got a look at the man. "Is he alright?" was all she could think to ask aloud, hesitating to take a step forwards.

[Aroma]

Aroma had stepped into a nearby fabric store just before things got, suffice to say, "more than a little fucky". She had already bought the thread and cloth she needed when she heard the sound of a thud, clang, and even a few screams amidst the chaos. Initially casting it off as nothing, she spent some extra time browsing for any potential sales for her to take advantage of. She was running low after all.

It wasn't until things got a fair amount more audible out there that she took some kind of interest, less of a minor hubbub and more of a seemingly major kerfuffle so to speak. Poking her head out of the shop's door to see if it was something she could help with, Aroma soon scoffed upon seeing the supposed tears in the fabric of reality itself, potentially eldritch in nature. Of course, not something a lone woman herself could handle. Maybe not even an army. Nevertheless, Aroma noticed some form of evacuation process going on, and as such used her natural physical intimidation to get the other patrons in the store to follow suit, much like when a grizzly bear stands on its hind legs. "And don't you fucking DARE forget about the elderly and kids!" She barked, noticing some letting them fall behind.

Once the store had been evacuated, Aroma saw the commotion a short distance away. With a certain orange shirted brick signifying that she was now guaranteed to be involved in some capacity. Fantastic. Jogging over at a brusque pace, she thanked herself for being tall enough to be able to get a decent look as she made her way over. Apparently, the crashing sound from earlier was a relatively slimly built man... Looking more than a little scuffed up. Staying a little bit behind the group, aroma paused to pick up and pocket some nearby pebbles and rocks, pocketing them for later. Just in case. Some people here looked as if they knew some things others didn't including herself.

She had to play it safe.

[Trent "Hyas" Cassidy]

Until just a few moments ago, Trent's day was as it always had been. Having completed his roadwork, among other sets, the apprentice wrestler found himself exiting a local pizzeria. Just a quick block away, a rather squawking ruckus rang out from just down the street. As it turns out, the sky rained out a man. Hallelujah. Trent briefly shook his head, dismissing that terribly, terribly low-hanging fruit. Inspecting from his current distance, a familiar few faces were plainly visible. Atlas! Tsu! Aroma, too! What impeccable timing! Without much thought, Trent scurried over to his roommates and compatriots. Although, as he did so, it seems as though many other civilians were also scurrying; in the opposite direction. Strange. Trent doubted that a single man falling from the sky was much issue; crazier things have happened, like those wacky Meta fellows appearing, and awakening, and all that. Approaching Atlas and the others, the apprentice wrestler called out to those he knew.

"Friends! I got the pizzas you wanted for movie night!"

Gathering up by his fellow pillars of muscle, a few glances around told what immediate story there was to tell. Buncha fellas, one particularly busted up man, a big ol' crack in the -- huh? That didn't schlorp back together yet? What's that crack in the sky still doing up there? Well, that's something. Not anything much good, Trent figured, but something nonetheless. It's gonna take more than a bit of axle grease and clumped up parts to fix the sky. Or those little plastic tables these pizzas got, for that matter. However, even now wasn't the time for that. There was an issue of great importance Trent must discuss! He nudged Tsu with his elbow, inching towards her to whisper.

"I hate you for your pizza order. Thank you for being involved for movie night."

[Sage Sudeki]

Well this was definitely going to be an odd moment in history. Odd ball people were crawling out of the woodwork and there were a lot of unknowns. However, Nova seemed to know what was going on.

With her warning he stopped with some decent distance between them before he noticed the look he gave her.

"Got some history with this one?"

He'd ask, keeping his grip on the handle to his sheathed Katana.

"I could heal him, if need be."

He was obviously now only asking things to Nova. He wasn't going to get in a position of control when it was something between them.
