Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that!

[lucetimods]

Who: Everyone!
What: The final day. Moonfall. Twenty-Four hours remain. How do you spend it?
When: The 30th, all day
Where: Anywhere
Summary: The last day. The end has come. The moon is coming down and piercing the barrier. Nothing can stop it.
Rating: It will vary.


Details are here. But here's a recap and expansion!

By the time morning hits Luceti, the Moon has begun to breach the barrier, noticeable by how the barrier will fluctuate about the Moon's face in strange ribbons of energy. The oceans and lakes begin to rage as they are caught by the Moon's gravity. The ground begins to quake in an unsettling way. Small and harmless tremors that will slowly intensify over the course of the day. With the Moon already partway through the barrier, it will be noticeable that it is not quite as large as the real Moon. Though quite vast, the Moon itself does is not quite the entire size of Luceti, but is large enough to span the entire village and more. The Moon's angered face does not cease for a moment, even as it becomes the only sight in the sky.

Yet it remains in the sky, slowly breaking through the barrier, and proving indestructible in spite of all that is thrown at it. In the evening it will begin to cause gravitational disturbances, drawing up debris and small objects into the air. When it finally reaches midnight, the bottom of the Moon will be one mile above Luceti. At that point, all will suddenly black out and know no more. What becomes of the Moon? Does Luceti go splat? Will CJ finally get his moon rocks? Stay tuned!

[That gets a smile out of him.]

You spoil me. What sort of cookies?

[lostinmyway]

[Grune smiles right back.] They're sugar cookies. Would you like some?

[paladinlost]

It'd be a pleasure. Please wait a moment.

[He doesn't even bother teleporting. He just jumps off the roof.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my. [That was a little startling.] Hello.

[paladinlost]

Hello. Enjoying our last few moments of peace.

[...He really doesn't sound like a man who knows he'll die today.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune really doesn't sound like a woman who knows she'll die today, either. They make a great pair.]

I'm glad I was able to find you. Here you are. [Have a cookie of the apocalypse.]

[paladinlost]

[That's what happens when you break someone so much he unbreaks himself.]

Thank you. Did you bake them yourself?

[lostinmyway]

[...Poor Cecil.]

Yes, that's right. I made them this morning. [Amidst the earthquakes.]

[paladinlost]

...With those electrical ovens?

[Members of House FF4 know better than anyone that those are fire hazards, and he doubts earthquakes help with that.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, no, we don't have one anymore. [Fenimore and the other Ferines hated their electrical appliances so much they recently ditched everything but the "electric icebox" and the lights. Grune is cooking on a woodstove now.]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps that is for the best, especially now.

[...Few people would find the stove that involves actual flames the safest option.]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... Do you think so?

[Ah, the thought processes of the technologically impaired.]

[paladinlost]

They catch fire easily, and earthquakes could damage all those wires.

[RPG technology levels tend to be strange, anyway.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my, that sounds a little dangerous. [If Fenimore had known that, she would've gotten rid of the electric stove a lot sooner, no doubt.]

[paladinlost]

It might be faster, but I'm not certain all those disadvantages are worth it.

[lostinmyway]

Maybe you can get a normal stove, too. [After, you know, the apocalypse.]

[paladinlost]

I'd have to ask the others. They have a greater affinity for it.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, really? Maybe they can teach you how to use the electric stove.

[paladinlost]

They tried. Many times.

[lostinmyway]

Didn't it work?

[paladinlost]

I've some trouble with the knobs and buttons.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I can help you!

[This can only end in tears. And fire.]

[paladinlost]

Truly? It'd be quite appreciated.

[And they just renovated, too. ;;]

[lostinmyway]

We should do it soon. [Except....

She looks up to the moon, then back at Cecil.]

Cecil?

[paladinlost]

[Except there might not be a soon.]

Yes, Grune?
