[Open] Sunday Strolls

Who: A Mountain, Campus and You.
What: Watch your heads, cause someone's not watching their steps. There's destruction afoot.
When: October 4th.
Where: All across campus.

As far as Sundays went, this one was pretty typical, despite the lingering blood moon that persisted well into the morning. If you disregarded that, you could certainly call it lovely. The air held the crisp kiss of autumn's chill, the breeze rustling the fire hued foliage of campus. Eventually the sun's golden rays chased away the moon, bringing with it the deep blue of the sky.

It was entirely possible to forget anything bizarre was happening on such a nice day. Monsters, earthquakes, pssht. Those didn't exist today.

At least not until the first rumble echoed off the edge of campus. And then the next. And the next. And the next. Each one closer, stronger, rattling everything that wasn't fixed in place. The more astute in their panic might have noticed that it was far too rhythmic in its shocks. It was like a heartbeat, or a particularly strong footstep down rickety stairs.

Or perhaps they just noticed that a huge foot had come crashing through the roof of whatever building they happened to be in. Probably a striking detail, that.

The mountains, it seemed, were out for a stroll.



The colossal beast was ambling without a care in the world. The school buildings it was walking over (and through) posed no issue for it. Clearly it was just enjoying the fine Sunday like anyone else would. The mountains it had apparently wandered down from must have looked too boring, or maybe that little wolf thing had been making too much of a racket.

Either way, it was here and it was peacefully walking directly through Smash Academy.

Daisy may have prided herself on her ability to kick butts, but this... This might have been a bit too big of a butt for her to kick. She joined in the evacuation, ready to get out of the line of fire and let the big guns go to work.

Cyrus passed her going the opposite direction, and grabbed her sleeve. "We must spare the library this onslaught. Come with me and grab what you can carry".
givemeyouranswerdo: (PANIC)

Daisy yanked her sleeve back, looking at Cyrus incredulously. "Are you kidding me?! Our lives are all in danger and you want to worry about books?!" she demanded.
will_be_god: (Do you WANT to make me mad?)

That merited a severe glare. "The knowledge of the world is contained there. The destruction of Alexandria dealt an immeasurable blow to human advancement, and our library is fortunate enough to contain many unique texts from multiple worlds. I will not be idle and let that knowledge be lost!"

Granted it would all go once he had his way with the fabric of space and time, but he'd at least be putting that knowledge to good use.
givemeyouranswerdo: (Worry)

"What unique texts?!" Daisy asked disbelievingly. "The collected Jerry Gardener? Some Sunset books? I saw the first movie of that series, it's not worth saving!"

If anything, the glare intensified. "Tomes of knowledge and wisdom, detailing thousands, tens of thousands of years of history of multiple worlds. Do you dare lump them in with commercial drivel?" Of course, the library had those too, and they could easily be skipped.
givemeyouranswerdo: (Okay start explaining)

[personal profile] givemeyouranswerdo 2015-10-07 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Wait, aren't you trying to unmake reality or something?" Daisy asked, not entirely sure what manner of insanity Cyrus was up to, but having at least some basic knowledge. "What do you care about history?"
will_be_god: (Remove yourself from my sight)

"You are a princess, a world leader, correct? This is a damning state of affairs..." Rather than waste his time with her, he continued off towards the library.
givemeyouranswerdo: (This is serious!)

"There's nothing wrong with being--" Oh. He was leaving.

"IF WE SURVIVE THIS, REMIND ME TO YELL AT YOU SOME MORE!" Daisy shouted after him.

Fair enough. He was already making plans to shove those books in her face and show her what she would abandon so easily. But that required he save them first.
