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!

If it's really okay then-- [Aaaand then suddenly picked up. Nagisa's really quite shocked at how easily Daisy picked her up, too.]

...Thank you.. I-I'm sorry about this...

[And as she rushes out, Nagisa just looks at Daisy to make sure that she wasn't getting too tired of holding her or anything. Plus, well.. looking elsewhere would just end up making her more nervous. The rushing people... the moon... Not exactly things she'd want to be looking at.]

It's alright. We'll be alright.

[Empty words. Sometimes it's all that stands between fearful soldiers, and broken soldiers.

She holds her close, like a child in her arms. Some had once noted how the taller girl made others feel younger in her presence, while others had seen the Spartan as someone younger than she was allowed to be in her world.

At first, there is silence. There is a sense of rush she tries to make the most of, but her concern for Nagisa is still there. She is seeing the end of this world.

Sometimes words are all that stands between fearful soldiers, and broken soldiers.]

What was Sakagami like?

[A seemingly casual tone, in spite of everything going around her. Things Will, Kurt, and Kelly would do to calm the group.

She had to thank the people of the village. Months ago, she saved a resident from a bomb without so much as small talk.]

Mmm...

[She can tell that they are, but even so, they're still comforting to hear in a way. Even if they may not be completely true, they do bring at least some hope.]

Sakagami? She's... really hardworking, strong, and determined. Before coming here, Okazaki and I were actually helping her become Student Council President. She's really kind, too... [Talking about her now makes Nagisa miss her a lot, actually.]

Student Council...

[Daisy remembers Linda had her own spy network in her respective school when she was six; the taller girl wonders if she herself would've made that position had things ran without her draft.

Her feet almost fly through the steps and the hallways, and into the exit, but she notices Nagisa misses her friend. She holds her tighter, but her face forms a smile.

She is as scared. Perhaps more -she hates helplessness-. But she wants to remain solid for her friend.]

I was told she had a nasty kick.

[She says in a deadpan manner, trying to inject some humor, even right now. She does not doubt that girl may have a big heart. She remembers deadliest members of her own Squadron were also the most noble.]

[That makes her smile a bit. Both the fact that Daisy was holder her closer now, as well as the humor. Well of course, nothing could really be funny with a situation like this but... it was still at least a little humoring to hear.]

Nasty...? [That's supposed to mean that her kick is really strong, right?] I think so! At least, from what I've heard. She's really athletic too.

She sounds like a great person. Everyone from your world is great, Nagisa.

[She runs through the roads, past the bridge, between the buildings, through a route that she became all too familiar with. To the fountain Daisy would visit in her times of peace. Now, what could be the only way they have to even survive.

The environment in front of the Spartan's eyes speeds up to a frightening pace.

She starts to feel the loss of her superhuman powers. The girl in her arms is as light as ever, but her run is not as swift as before. But she will not tell Nagisa. Not when the fountain is on sight, hidden between buildings.

Her voice attempts to remain as solid as ever - nonetheless polluted by adrenaline, sudden exhaustion, and helpless fear she transforms into a drive to live.]

We're not far from the fountain... We'll make it.

[She can't give up. She won't give up. She won't let Nagisa out here.]

[Nagisa would notice Daisy's loss in agility if it weren't for the fact that she was just so scared right now. But even if she did, she probably wouldn't have voiced it; after all, Daisy's trying to hard to help. And even she seems just as frightened by the events.

So for now... positive conversation, yeah. Small talk should at least make the situation lighter while they venture toward the tunnels.]

Mhhm... I love my home and all the people there very, very much. [A beat.] ...I-if you don't mind me asking, what's your world like, Daisy..?

[...

There is some hesitation before she answers. But instead of remembering the sights of silvery ships setting worlds ablaze, she remembers her childhood.]

My world has a lot of planets. We can hop through them with Faster-Than-Light speed. I could go all day with the things I've seen in many of them.

[She comes across the Fountain at the Plaza. For a flash of an instant, she sees the fountain of her home city. The plaza that used to be close to her home.]

There are cities with buildings that go through the clouds, and AI's that run them with efficency. There are planets with forests as tall as the main cities of the Inner colonies, and a variety of animals you wouldn't believe. And there are others with beautiful flora, and beaches you never forget.

[There are also organizations as amoral as the Malnosso that won't blink at the thought of ruining lives and breaking families to use child soldiers; and an alien enemy that wishes for nothing but humanity's annihilation that has burned worlds like this one until it was glass. The planet where I had my first life has probably been set ablaze and left in ruins.

She runs through the passage. The light is too limited. It is all too dark for her, but guides herself the best she can with her hearing.

And this is what hiding in a world about to be burned to glass feels like. Escaping as far or as deep as you can, and waiting for the end of all you know.]

There are good worlds. But the most beautiful one will always be what you think as home.

[And right now, her home would burn. But if this manages to save Nagisa, she would awaken with a clean conscience.]
