Cataclysm [June 8th Open City Log for all Players]
Who: Open to All
Where: INSIDE the city.
When: From the 8th until the early morning of the 9th.
Summary: Something hits the barrier, and the entire city ends up in a state of panic.
Warnings: Depends on the players!
"Good morning, Hinoto-Ri! It is now eight in the morning, and time to buckle down for most of the working population! Please work hard for the sake of the city! Thank you! Weather today is more rain in the next hour and more rain until night in all the wards, no exceptions! The rain from the past few days continues to pour and--wait...what's that noise?"
A rumble was the first warning that something was wrong. The bustle of animals trying to escape the city was next, as birds gathered in the sky circling, unable to leave. It wasn't too long before the worst happened. Perhaps due to the morning fog and bad weather, it was impossible to see the giant object before it was too late, as it slammed against the city's protective barrier.
The entire city shook and was awoken to the sharp, painful sound of what could almost be a bomb going off, impossible to ignore. Buildings broke down as a giant earthquake rumbled for a few seconds, leaving in its wake a carnage of overturned vehicles, collapsing buildings and debris free-falling everywhere- the epicenter in the Leo Ward.
Whatever had caused this had already disappeared from view... Yet, those that had seen it crash would have noticed a large black form over city hall. A sort of stain in the barrier. Then, to the sound of screeching and windows breaking, a single giant piece of the crystal-like substance began to crack above in the sky, falling onto town hall. Just one piece, perhaps small compared to the barrier itself, but more than enough to cause severe property damage, sending half of the building tumbling right into the police headquarters and destroying part of that too.
Electricity went out in Leo, plunging the ward into near darkness. Apart from the hospital that instantly ran on auxiliary power, of course. The public network went down, depriving Hinoto-Ri of communication between the public, leaving only the visitor's own.
And while the barrier still held up, a very thin strand separating the world outside from Hinoto-Ri was now visible above the Leo Ward, casting a strange light over the carnage.
From the other wards, not everyone would know what happened right away. It almost seemed impossible, after all. A nightmare come to life.
It was over in barely a minute, but the city's entire face had drastically changed.

[OOC: This is the first of the upcoming event logs, and will take place on June 8th exclusively!
As of a note, that night, the 13TH HOUR WILL LAST 2 HOURS INSTEAD OF ONE so if you want to include that in one of your prompts, please go for it!
Characters can start their own threads, or reply to others. Subjects can be anything you think would make logical send during this day; keep in mind the city is in a state of panic and the public network is down, so anything goes from trying to save their apartments, to helping civilians to realizing what's going on during the 13 Hour. Make sure you mark down the time of your post so that other players are aware of when it's happening.
If you want information about the event, the post is here. Characters are HIGHLY encouraged to mingle with each other. NPCs and demons may show up in certain threads too, so keep your eyes peeled and have fun with each other!
A note to new players; there will be another log posted on the 9th for new players who wish to show up behind the barrier.]

He couldn't let that happen. He whipped his Evoker out of its holster, held it to the side of his head and pulled the trigger. "CAESAR!" He yelled.
The persona threw the globe that it held up into the air, and in the time it took for the miniature sphere to rise and fall back into his grasp, the metal plated warrior stepped forward and delivered a powerful punch, blasting the plaster boulder into powder as Akihiko had landed over Miki to shield her, just in case. The fear and worry in his eyes couldn't be hidden when he finally opened them.

"W-well," she tried to say, attempting to joke a little, lighten the mood, anything to take her mind off of it. "I guess only Minami should be listening to music while...doing...stuff." Words were failing her. How annoying.
"Tch. N-now that's twice I owe my life to you. Thank you."
no subject
Damn it. He was glad she was okay. He couldn't help but hug her for a moment. "You don't owe me anything. Come on." He broke the hug and carefully stood up, offering an arm for her so that she could climb to her feet. "We need to find someplace safe."
no subject
"Okay. But first, let's make sure Shinji is okay too," she countered, reaching to her wrist to use her phone when--"Damn it, the network's down!" Panicking, she pressed to her ear to get the COMP system working, typing into the air.
"The Visitor network is still up for some reason...thank goodness for small miracles. I'm sending him a message now."
no subject
"Should we try to head back to the dorms, then?"
no subject
"If we run into someone in trouble along the way, we'll help them out."
no subject
"Good plan. Let's try to avoid the alleys, just in case."
no subject
The commotion outside was starting to grow, as civilians were walking up and realizing what had happened.
"Guess there won't be time for a shower," she added, "as soon as we know Shinjiro is safe, I'm going to go help make sure no one is trapped."
When she arrives at the dorm she barges in. The place didn't look too damaged, apart from the overturned furniture, but this was just the first level.
"SHINJI!" she called out. "ARE YOU HERE?!"
