EVENT LOG:
BOTTOM OF THE RIVER

characters: everyone.
location: everywhere.
date/time: april 15-30.
content: preparation begins, and rain falls.
warnings: n/a. please cw tags appropriately.

an early warning: april 15-17

When someone goes to check the readings at the weather station in mid-April, they notice something - an immense low-pressure system incoming in just a few short days. Looks like rain on the horizon, although it isn’t immediately clear how long it will last or how much will fall - but it seems like spring has come to Beacon, and April showers bring May flowers, right?

Better get to work.

into the water: april 18-30

Thick clouds obscure the light from the stars. The air grows thick with humidity, and soon, showers begin to fall. It’s gentle at first - a pleasant sound as the drops hit the earth and tap out patterns on the roofs.

This only lasts an hour or two before the heavens seem to open up, letting loose sheets of pounding rain that make it hard to see more than twenty feet ahead of you. The sound is immense and deafening, and you find yourself shouting over the noise as you scramble to make the last of your modifications, find your friends, and take shelter.

Within days, the water falling constantly off of the edges of the rooftops has begun to dig trenches in the soil, and the river swells and overtakes its own banks. Town becomes a moving stream of water that threatens to knock you over and take you with it, and entire sections of Beacon are cut off from each other as you find yourself unable to cross the former banks of the rivers even through flight. Torches get swept away, bridges collapse, and buildings begin to crumble.

Were you prepared?

Sora gapes a little. Jason really is amazing... could he really turn the storm away?

Sora shakes his head, shutting his mouth. It doesn't matter, actually. What matters is that Jason was going to do this alone. That's not allowed.

"Okay." And easy as that, Sora's turning away from the path and following Jason, sticking his hands in his pockets, eyebrows furrowed in determination. "Let's go. We should hurry before people start missing you."

The gaping only causes Jason to frown. He's honestly probably getting Sora's expectations way too high and that look of amazement he wears isn't exactly filling Jason with confidence. If anything he has more doubts about this working, but, he feels like it's better to try and be assured that he can't do it versus not trying at all.

He at least feels better knowing Sora will join him.

"Thanks. I don't expect it to be a long detour." Jason picks up his path back towards the weather station. "Have you been out to it before?"
