[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.

"This is so frustrating... How do you fight something that barely even notices you're there?!" Blaze shouted in anger.
shiest_sunbeam: (Hm?)

"Well, usually a good troop will take down these things back home. It's a lot harder this way though. Wish we had some siege engines..."

Any of them really.

"And there's only one person here who could even HAVE something like that," Blaze replied. "And I will NOT go to HIM for help. EVER!"

"At the risk of many people possibly getting hurt... It might be time to think on that." Not that she'd force her to. Afterall, it's not like Ronnae herself hasn't been in that position before and it's not an easy one.

"Then let's find a way to minimize the damage and casualties if we can't stop this thing."
vela_nova: (Let me tell you something!)

"While I have no doubt Eggman has something that could help here, trusting him would be an even bigger mistake. We can handle this on our own."
shiest_sunbeam: (Hm?)

"I'm listening then." Ronnae began as she set off what seemed like a jetpack? Yeah, yeah, she's that kind of inventor.

She drifted next to Blaze and looked back at the beast.

"So what now?"

Blaze looked up silently at the beast. Thoughts ran through her head. She tried to formulate strategies, based on its size, mass, and capability. She was silent for what felt like an eternity...

Then she punched the wall. "I don't know..."

"Sometimes... that happens. So for now, while we figure something out, we should make sure no one down there is going to get splatted, or try to save as much of the school grounds as possible..."

Because she really didn't have any more ideas.
vela_nova: (ENOUGH!)

"Agreed," Blaze replied, boosting off after the creature again. There had to be some way to get it clear of the academy to fight it... For now, though, she had to get anyone in its path out of danger.
shiest_sunbeam: (Hm?)

Ronnae followed, she did a quick stop around it's face to drop a few depth charges near it's face in hopes of it deterring it to move in the other direction.

After, she went after Blaze to see if they could minimize the damage and hurt people.
