Everybody do the dinosaur

[sparednothing]

[Anyone near the docks this evening, will get o enjoy watching various cargo ships make their way into the city, dropping off or picking up precious cargo. It's a pleasant night, all things considered. That means something has to go wrong, right?

One of the cargo ships seems to have run aground, trapped on the docks. Workers are milling around it, talking in confused, raised voices. One eventually gets onto the ship, to search for crew. ...Its a few seconds later that there is a scream and the sound of metal being smashed into. The male T-Rex bursts out of the cargo hold, stomping out onto the docks. Workers run, screaming in terror, as the Rex makes his way towards the city....]

TEMBO

[collectmyfee]

[Tembo is standing on the docks, arguing with a bunch of men in InGen uniforms]

How can you not of had the damn thing secure? You shouldn't have even let it stay alive, and now you've unleashed hell on this city.

[They try to make their arguments, but he stalks past them]

No, I'm done listening to you. You stay in the company of death if you wish, I've had enough.

[fanstheflame]

[Gale had come down to the docks to get a closer look - when they'd arrived at night, he'd been intrigued by the large ships, the variety of things they'd carried ... how it still seemed to be a place where hard work was done, in a city that otherwise reminded him so much of what he'd seen in the Capitol. he's standing nearby, observing the chaos as the workers try to free the ship, and contemplating going to help for the hell of it, when he hears that familiar voice]

Mr. Tembo--!

[collectmyfee]

[Tembo turns, nodding a little]

You all got off, then. Good. Place went to hell after that Rex attack.

[fanstheflame]

Yeah, we got split up again ... some people managed to find a radio and get hold of a cruise ship that brought us here, but -- [he shakes his head]

You've got the right idea, walking away from it. Where are you going to go?

THE DOCKS

[sparednothing]

[The scene of the accident, the Rex has no desire to stay here, he needs to find some fresh water. So off he stomps, towards the city proper]

[waterproofed]

[oh gods he really saw all that happening and the Rex is going to stomp all over downtown]

Well, that's just great.

[sparednothing]

[All over it. It's where all the fresh water is, probably.

And you know, food]

DOWNTOWN

[sparednothing]

[The Rex causes havoc as he stomps down the roads, cars swerving, crashing, piling up as he searches for water. The city is going to be in ruins if he isn't stopped somehow]

for once I'm on time to the party

[i_demand_euphoria]

[Calvin has had a pretty fulfilling day. He got kicked out of the museum and the zoo and he feels pretty accomplished about it all. And at least in San Diego nothing would try to eat him (the tiger exhibit didn't count; he'd had a tuna fish sandwich prepared for them and everything the zookeepers had completely overreacted) right?

... goddamn it InGen. Calvin is a suburb kid and not really used to big cities; all the noise and bright lights. So it's not the T-rex stomping around that catches Calvin's attention first, it's the car that almost hits him when it swerves abruptly off the road. He jumps out of the way, skinning his palms.]

Hey!

[Calvin looks to see what could have possibly prompted the driver to drive like a maniac and it doesn't take him long to find it.] ... really?

[Seriously, fuck you InGen.]

[sparednothing]

[That was totally an overreaction on the zookeepers part. Papa is stomping around, occasionally trying to push cars out of the way. He just wants some water you guys, he's thirsty]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine was actually enjoying the city before this distraction but a dent into it. Wizard's holiday, she swears. Dairine sighs.]

Well, this looks familiar.

[ The image of T-Rex walking down the street brings back memories of Central Park. At least he is alone and unarmored. But he still needs to be stopped. Her shielf in place, Dairine walks up, calm as you please, and addresses the T-Rex using the Speech. It might not have worked on his mate, but she's willing to give it a second shot. What does she have to lose?]

Excuse me, what are you doing here?

[sparednothing]

[Papa does seem to pause, tilting his head at her. Maybe he's less full of rage as his mate, maybe it's because he's muzzy headed from the worn off sedatives, maybe it's the dehydration. He watches her for a moment, but does not reply. ]

Re: DOWNTOWN

[For the first time in ages, Danny had had a good day.

He'd slept through the whole night and woken up feeling rested and full of energy, with lingering memories of a great dream. Then he'd managed to spend the entire day at the local amusement park with Chie. There had been roller coasters and junk food and water rides and everything.

It had been a nearly perfect day. At least it had been until he spots something that he wishes he wasn't so familiar with.

....No. This couldn't be happening! This was San Diego! How on Earth had that thing gotten here? Was he being stalked by T-Rexes now?

He couldn't let it attack this city. With a shout Danny transforms in a blaze of light and launches himself straight at the T-Rex.]

[sparednothing]

[Papa had been heading towards a hotel pool when the attack comes. He roars in rage, turning trying to bite at whatever it is that attacked him, feet crushing sidewalk and trash cans as he moves]

[last_rat_standing]

[Speaking of cars there's a nice shiny car racing around the corner and heading straight towards that T-Rex.

Bond doesn't realize it until it's too late, jerking the wheel in an attempt to avoid that foot]

[sparednothing]

[Sorry, Bond. Looks like you have a lot of explaining to the rental company. Papa's foot goes smashing into the bonnet (or whatever you Americans call the front end) taking out the engine on the way down]

[originalcopy]

[doop de do... someone is just minding his own business, taking in the scenery. Because damn it's been a long time since he was on Earth. And it's old timey Earth too, kind of like walking around a living museum. It's a nice end to the vacation from Dinosaur Hell...]

Oh you have got to be kidding me.

[Hey look it's a freaking T.rex. yay.]

[sparednothing]

[He came because you missed the fun last time, Church. He wanted you there, it was rude to miss him. He's currently attacking cars, trying to get at the passengers inside]

[luxe_can_kill]

[Mitsuru spend some alone time downtown. It's been a while since she saw modern civilization. She heard screaming and saw people running away from something. Her eyes narrowed, and she ran toward the source of the panic.

She was surprised to see the T-Rex causing a rampage in the streets, despite her poker face. Well hidden in her trench coat is her revolver, which she drew while she slowly walked toward the dinosaur]

Hmph... So I'm not completely safe from this world change after all. Very well, then. I shall test your might!

[Mitsuru began to emit a blue aura as Artemisia materialized behind her]

To me, Artemisia!

[OOC: So sorry, but I changed my mind and thought of giving Lara a break ^_^;]

[sparednothing]

[The light and the movement make Papa turn towards her. He lets out a roar, starting towards her]

[billiardsplz]

[After hearing about a ruckus, Gold just had to go help now that he had his partners. He comes flying in on his Togekiss]

That is one ugly lizard!

Toge!

[sparednothing]

[Papa is still trying to attack the cars, people screaming and racing away]

[hatesgoodbyes]

[What a way to come into this world, seriously. Sunny and Nora had been taken care of, Church had vanished shortly after arrival and York was looking after Carolina so that was covered.

But something didn't feel finished. It was like on a mission where it just felt like there was a last man or that lock a 'pro' couldn't pick. There was a nagging feel in the back of what passed for her mind.

So she was following people...if it just so happened she was following in the same general direction of Carolina and York..so be it.]

[youfallback]

[Carolina hadn't exactly been feeling well since her recent, explosive fight with York. She was losing her mind, she was pretty sure, but there wasn't anything she could do to stop it. As she's making her way downtown, the T-Rex unleashes that screeching howl and hey look it turns out it's on the building next to her and this is exactly what she doesn't need right now. The street's not exactly deserted, but it's clearing out fast and she knows she doesn't have long before it spots her.

Fuck. It just did and she's darting toward the nearest shop door, only to be turned away by frightened owners who have already locked the door.]

Dammit. [And she goes sprinting down the street, trying to spot a place that isn't about to be locked up.]

[encryptedlock]

[York had just wanted to get some delivery food. Was that too much to ask? Apparently, because as he was scoping out the local pizza joints, there was that ominous THUD. THUD. THUD. Water-in-circles.]

Aw, son of a bitch.

[And who should be running toward him but Ms. Crazypants herself.]
