The Story:

This will be your main log for fighting aliens, reacting to the Snap, and any fall out. The top level for days 1 & 2 are up now, and the top levels for the Snap and the aftermath will go up late on the 12th. Hopefully, the reason for this will make sense once they’re posted!

Feel free to refer to the plotting post for more details!

[ On the morning of the 11th, unusual looking space craft hover in the skies above the Checkerboard Hills. Mid-morning, they fall from the sky and down below, releasing hoards and hoards of aliens called Outriders. They attack without prejudice, they are violent, and they never stop. If attacked, they will retreat, but they never grow tired or weak. Barricades, if strong enough and powerful enough, will hold them back but they are dogged. There is full access to closets, to weapons and supplies. Fight. Fight as hard as you can.

On day 2, everyone is no doubt exhausted to the bone. By now there may be safe spots. The network still functions; it can be utilized to call for help or extend the offer. Everyone should be wary: exhaustion means slower reflexes, sluggish response time.

At least all bizarre things that happen in Wonderland eventually end, right? ]

Day 1

Michonne knew the moment Steve made his announcement on the network this was gonna be bad. She has her katana, always, she makes sure the people she loves are equally outfitted with ways to protect themselves, and then she's out into the battle. Her katana is just an extension of her arm and she kills alien assholes with no hesitation, just trying her damndest to keep the mansion itself clear. It's an impossible task, there are too many, but she won't give up on taking out as many of these bastards as she can. She'll fight beside your character, rescue them, drag them to safety if needed. She's in this fight until the end, whatever the outcome.

Day 2 - post Louis

Every ounce of resolve she had is depleted. She's exhausted, she hurts everywhere, and now someone as good as her own flesh and blood is dead because he turned. Dead twice, a fate that shouldn't have found him. It wrecks her, crushes the flame that was burning as she retreats and tries to catch her breath behind the mansion for a few moments.

When something turns the corner she assumes it's an alien and she's pissed at this point, ready to kill with extreme violence. She raises the katana and screams in frustration, but it's a good thing she has quick reflexes and stops herself before killing the living person looking for a breather.

"Fuck, get back here," she snaps, pulling them in and behind her.

1. Aliens--For Rocket:

Aliens, great. Well, at least that's something he's familiar with. Though not quite on this scale. The last time he faced something like this he had an entire constitution-class starship between him and the opposing side. Now all he has is hastily procured from the closets shotgun. He's holding his own, but he doesn't have the best aim.

What he wouldn't give for a phaser rifle right about now.

2. The Clinic

Pike's helping where he can in the ballroom, trying to help those he can with his limited medical knowledge. Honestly, he never thought that he'd be able to use his field training here, but at least he has it.

It's a mess, not that he expected anything else. Wars, no matter how short were always a mess. But he's doing his best to keep a cool head. He'll deal with the emotional aftermath later. Now isn't the time.

"Who needs an extra set of hands?"

[ The snap occurs.

At first, there’s no change in Wonderland. After a thirty-second delay, people begin to crumble as if made of ash. They disintegrate right in front of you, but then, so do the aliens. All of them. The people fading are aware it’s happening, but there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.

The fighting is over and the event is seemingly done, but there are no bodies to watch over and be sure they return. The people turned to ash are simply gone. ]

[ On the last day of the event, the people died still haven’t returned. There are still no bodies. The mansion and the grounds slowly begin to repair themselves, but now what? Where does everyone go from here?

At midnight, everyone who turned to dust will return, tucked safely into the bed wherever they call home. ]
