"You're soon to learn how much is at stake. For now the ground begins to quake."

[With an audible thud, a journal falls open just in time to record the sound of a young boy hitting the lobby ground and tumbling across the floor. At the same time, a wooden box also hits the floor, skidding across the lobby away from him. Surprisingly enough, no harm comes to the box.

He groans in pain for a moment as he collects himself, but it only takes him a brief moment. When he speaks, there's hope in his voice, and he begins to laugh a little deliriously.]



We did it. I'm back to normal. Dad! I'm home! I'm back from--


[As he climbs to his feet, there's a gut-sinking realization that begins to settle in, a panicked look across his face.]


No... This isn't--This isn't my house. This isn't Jumanji. What is this? Where am I now? Just send me home, I want to go home!


[Frantic footsteps skid across the lobby once he spots that wooden box. He races toward it and quickly opens it. If anyone is even trying to approach him or calmn him down, they're being completely ignored. Even voices from the journal go unnoticed.]


Come on, come on. Please work, please just send me home. Please, please...


[Opening the box exposes a game board. Alan quickly scoops the dice into his hands and rolls as if his life depends on it. Anyone watching the scene might notice that the game board seems to react on its own to his plays. Alan's eyes widen.]


"You're soon to learn how much is at stake. For now the ground begins to quake."


[Eyes widening in horror, the ground does begin to quake. It shakes all of Paradisa with a low, slow starting rumble that increases intensity with each passing second. Anyone that remembers the first large earthquake to rock Paradisa will notice that this one is just as intense.

Walls begin to crack around the edges, and decorations fall from their places on shelves. The floor strains and groans, until it begins to crack as well. The ground begins to tear apart seemingly directly down the middle, and dust and smoke begin to rise from the crack in the ground that only grows bigger and bigger.

At the same time, the boy who once stood in the middle of the lobby now appears to be dissolving where he stands, and an unseen force pulls him into the green, glowing orb in the center of the board. But the magic of the game doesn't stop there

Any Residents that find themselves in other parts of Paradisa may feel a magical, unresistable pull as well. A foreign energy is pulling at them, tugging them from where they stand. It's pulling them back to the castle, and leaving them in the very rooms they might have first arrived in.

By the time the earthquake stops, there's a very large and very deadly looking chasm that splits the castle precisely in half. Alan Parrish and the board game are nowhere to be found.]

[The earthquake was admittedly an unexpected blip in his day, but stuff like this is fairly regular in Equestria, what with overpowered lunatics trying to destroy the place on a yearly basis. Still, it was enough to pitch this little pony off his hooves. When he stands again, it's to stare at the wide chasm that separates the castle. He lets out a low whistle.]

That's gonna take a whooole lot of glue to fix.

[As always Danny's first impulse was to change into his ghost form so he could check out the situation from above.

It didn't work.

And so he was standing angrily at the edge of the chasm as he shouted at the castle in general.

Oh come on! You're doing this again?

[Spike hadn't felt all that relaxed in his room since the whole "mutant-baby incident", so he should be fully prepared for something like an earthquake when he's in the middle of feeding Ein (to get the dog to finally shut up -- it's only after the fact that he figures out that he wasn't barking his head off for food.)

They really can't catch a break, can they?

He spends the duration in the bathroom doorway with Ein in his arms, purely by coincidence, wondering if he has any bullets left for the next alien attack. If he's even up for one.

After what feels like twenty minutes for it to be over, he retrieves his gun and makes his way out, only to see the giant chasm that appeared in the hallway. Ein barks behind him as he walks to the very edge where some residents are already gathering, craning his head to look down. And down... Jesus, that thing is deep.]


Damn...

[Nepeta sees it now as well, though she has to give a light, nervous laugh at that.]

Yeah... but don't really bad things usually follow big earthquakes like this?

[Emerging from her own room, Vereesa begins her careful walk down the now more narrow hallway--or what's left of it. She's glancing at each door as she passes, and nodding to the other residents now filing out of their rooms.]

What could have caused it this time?

[Spike doesn't glance back at her yet, now staring up at the sky. Split right in half.]

Maybe we got a more proactive resident.

[ This isn't the first earthquake that Paradisa's experienced, but this one might be the most alarming. While she manages to stay conscious this time, that's only because of the speed in which she hid under her bed. When she finally crawls back out, her massive furniture of most has fallen and left a giant mess. She doesn't scream for help, though the panic in her mind is high as she tries to find her way out of her chambers and out into what she hopes is less chaos.

But no, the hallway offers no kind of solace. All she can see is a giant chasm just outside her door, seeming ready to swallow her if she takes one step too far. Magic may keep her from doing so, but she doesn't test that possibility. The nice weather doesn't much make up for this disaster.

At least this is something to temporarily distract Anne from her from drinking alone and sulking. Now she can again think of others, knowing several on her floor, but calling out to nobody in general. ]


Was anybody injured?!

Goodness, how strange.

[Will stood on the edge and stared out across the gap. He couldn't really say that he'd ever expected this to happen.

And he wasn't entirely sure what to do. It hadn't taken him long to notice that his powers were gone once again. Just as the other times, his mind and his senses felt dulled.

It was a feeling he would never get used to.

[Gren's just grateful that he's dressed when the castle decides to tug him unceremoniously back to his room. It's happened before, but it's never felt so violent. Which is concerning. Almost as concerning as the chasm he sees when he steps out of his room.]

Well, that's not good.

[Maybe neither is the fact that he's suddenly in close quarters with Spike. But he has to head that direction anyway, since Vicious' room is between them.]

See anything interesting?

[Wade is from California. Earthquakes are nothing really knew, although they're rarely strong enough to cause this much damage, or do anything like split the ground open. Still feeling a little light headed, she wanders out into the hall and her jaw drops]

Oh...my...God!

[Once she recovers from the shock, she notices there are more people across the way. Snap out of it Wade, there trouble coming.

She waves frantically.

Hey! Is everybody okay?!

[This time, Spike does turn around, since he's not keen on leaving himself too widely open. His eyes trail over Gren, but rest on Ein, who has to be wearing himself out by now.]

Hard to say. You want to climb down and see?
preformthisneigh: (Point)

[Cheese turns from the gaping chasm to look at her. He doesn't seem all that bothered.]

Well, we could sure use a little more excitement around here.

[ Its at his doorway that he realizes he doesn't have his magic. ]

... What changed?

[ Something had to have changed. He lost his magic, he smells more than the usual amount of dust, there's clearly something off. ]

Another change in the castle, looks like.

[Will could already feel the changes in his own senses.]
radiantwingedone: (I need not answer that)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2014-05-18 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
.... I noticed that much.

[ He manages to keep all of the bite out of that comment, mostly because he has an unhappy cat to try to calm down. ]

Everything upright that ought to be?

[Will looks around.]

Looks like a few things have fallen. Not really surprising from the feel of that earthquake.

No thanks. I think I'll take the stairs.

[They're basically on the edge of a cliff and Spike has a gun, so he's not going to start anything, but he doesn't really like that he's basically been given the suggestion to take a short walk. Or at least that's what it sounds like]

That your dog?

[She'll turn her eyes skyward as well. Wow.]

Well there was someone shouting incessantly just before this, but I quickly tired of it and turned the page.

[Makes more sense than the castle breaking itself.]

I couldn't hear anything over the barking. [Which is a subtle way of telling Ein that his moment has passed and he can relax. Dogs.] It wouldn't surprise me if someone was able to do it though.
gottaknockhard: (where do I begin)

[personal profile] gottaknockhard 2014-05-18 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[A joke. It's not like Spike is holding a grudge over Gren taking full advantage over his temporary bout of insanity. More important things, and all.

Ein quiets down when he finally takes a step away from where a strong wind could send him over the edge. Spike shrugs.]


Who needs an alarm, huh?
both_neither: (soft smile)

[personal profile] both_neither 2014-05-18 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Always better to be cautious. He has the knives Vicious gave him, thankfully, but unlike Vicious, he's not as quick to use them without provocation.]

If that's what you use him for. I've heard dogs can predict earthquakes...
gottaknockhard: (going with the flow)

[personal profile] gottaknockhard 2014-05-18 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spike is all for making small talk when there's doom in the air, but sometimes it'd be nice if Gren would cut to the chase. So what if that makes him a hypocrite.]

Maybe I'll listen the next time.

It looks like it was a clean break.

[The first thing Dairine notices after the earthquake is her wizardry's sudden disappearance. Typical. Just typical. As if she didn't have enough to worry about.

Grabbing her archery tools, she peers out the door to assess the situation. Well, that chasm doesn't look good. Carefully locking the door behind her, she starts making her way down to the second floor. Her first priority? Checking up on her sister. She's on the look out for her other friends though to see if they're all right too. Once she's found Nita, she'll start assessing the damage properly and looking for people who need aid.
