Like Bulls in a China Shop: Taurus Log

[stringmods]

▼ The Darkening Days

 

Who: Everyone. This is a general catch-all Taurus Event log. If you would like to do your own separate logs either due to pacing or easier loading, by all means, please do so!
Where: The Entire City
Summary: The last days of the Taurus event as things start to sour dramatically. During the 13th hour, Mutation Skills are unlocked for certain people (see the info post here) and now people have a chance against the swarming mechanized bulls. Unfortunately, for some, this means the paranoia hit a new low....if you want, you can get together and join each other's posts to try to hold the city down and protect everyone!
Warnings: Strange Attitudes, NPCs, Attacking, Battles.
Note: Please mark your post with what date they are happening. We are allowing anywhere from the 23th to future-dating to the 26th itself. Go on and have fun!

▼ The nights grow weary and a pattern seems to be forming...(days until the 26th)

 

Most of the Taurus civilians had willingly put themselves in confinement. As their symptoms began to rise, at the very least, there was little chance for them to cause problems. It looked like, hopefully, that they could hold back a lot of the damage and deaths to the city.

How completely wrong they would end up being...

▼ The day of reckoning...(April 26th, before the 13th Hour)

 

In retrospect, they should have realized something was wrong. While the Scorpio civilians were screaming about doom much like it had been predicted, Aquarius and Leo were not.

More research was needed...but there was no time now.

Somehow, everyone that had gone to the holding facilities were being freed from their confinement areas. No one knew who or got in, or how they got out, but many guards were injured in the process-- or worse.

The city turned into an all too (unfortunately) familiar sight. The Taurus civilians were causing havoc in the city, joined by others that the city had not predicted. Observers and Researchers quickly realized that these were all the earth signs, and a signal was given out; but too little, too late.

The city needed to fight back, lest it lose even more of its members. The situation was dire, but they had the Visitors on their side.

...For better or for worse.

▼ The Hour at Hand...(April 26th, 13th Hour)

 

13th Hour.

By now, the city was in chaos. For those who had witnessed the Scorpio outbreak it was an unfortunate similarity they might want to forget, but for others, this horror was brand new.

Giant mechanical bulls patrolled the city and continued to swarm, the police force trying to contain them and help as many as they could.

As time went on, mechanical parts and rocks fell to the floor from the bulls. Once the 13th hour hit...the remaining ones mutated, standing on two legs. And that wouldn't even be the worst of it...

And yet even in this Hour, there is hope. Power surges in a select few, and with a new skill at their tips, the battle may be won yet. But remember your mission: you came to protect this city. That includes the people living here. With so much chaos, you'll also need to help them and reduce the number of deaths as much as possible...and try not too look too closely at a looming figure in the Taurus Ward...

[ Yuri jumps back, noticing that she's being attacked by one of her SSS members. This wasn't good at all, and she knew it. However, she had no choice but to fight back. And she knows that, well, a halberd is nothing compared to her usual knives.

Sure, they can stand up to Kanade, but to this idiot?

No.

Time to do things long distance and start shooting. Of course, she's not going to aim for any of his vitals. Though she might hurt him a little.

After all, it's all for the dumbest younger brother!! ]

[halberdaxe]

[Noda gets hit at the arm, but that doesn't make him stop as he keeps charging towards Yuri, swinging down his halberd at her.]

[leadthebeats]

[ And she'll quickly run back, deciding to shoot low this time, trying to get him to stop charging and moving. ]

[frequent_flyer]

[Seemingly out of nowhere, the blue-haired teenager throws himself into the fray. He swings at the pole of Noda's halberd with his baseball bat, trying to knock the other boy off balance.]

Idiot! What are you doing!? [His voice came strained and frightened. Otonashi had already tried to kill him, and now Noda was attacking Yuri!? Surely this had to be a mistake... For now, he'd ignore Yuri's presence, as she appeared to be uninjured. He'd focus on the moron in front of him.]

[halberdaxe]

[He unexpected hit does throw Noda off, but he takes a few steps back to regain his balance. He readies his halberd for another swing, growling at Hinata as he glares at the new enemy.

Anger and frustration still has full control, and Noda doesn't bother to answer Hinata as he starts charging towards the blue-haired one to cut him down.]
