The onslaught is unending. Weapons do scarce damage to the creature, but because of their exoskeleton. Little can penetrate its armor. All seems lost as Helena Matthews ushers Terrans and Outlanders together towards the city. In the desperate hope that maybe the doors will open. Meanwhile, the raid team emerge from The Black. Joining the fray in the hopes of offering aid to their friends.

Three figures work their way through the sea of people. Paris, Reign, and a mysterious man. The strangers clothes aren't Terran and don't quite fit that of an Outlander. One by one, they pull out chains from around their necks—a silver disc at the end of it. Nothing happens for five minutes. Suddenly one creature cries out. Shaking its head as if something grievous is being heard before running. Signaling for the others to follow. All but one of these creatures these... Shadows leave. One is left behind, softly screeching in pain; it meets the end from the mysterious man's blade. Before he two seems to disappear into the night.

A quiet settles, as you peer round the setting that has fallen. Bodies lay still in grass and dirt. Some are the corpse of the Shadows; the majority are the fallen Terran's and Outlanders. The gates to Tera are open, and those citizens are allowed back in.

However, armed sentinel exit. Flanking Emerson, Harper, and Sev3n, as the other three council members follow suit. Emerging for the first time since the attack.

Emerson separates from the rest. A resigned look on her face. She looks dejected, and you believe it. Feel the sincerity in her gaze as she reaches for the hand of a child close to her. Gently she strokes their hair before looking up at the audience waiting.

" This, was meant to be a day of peace. Today, was the time that we returned those pulled away. That the misgivings of our brethren could be washed clean." A scathing look is cast towards the Outlanders that hover near the edge of the darkness. Lifting her arm, she points the finger at Katana Mar. As Solaris Luna, Splinter Apollo and Athena Griffen flank her side.  " But they came under false pretenses. Set these--things on us. These Shadows that stalk the woods that have. taken the lives of so many. And for what? To steal from us, To take what little we have and all that they needed to do was ask."

Her grip on the little girl's hand loosens as she ushers her back to the waiting parents. Turning, she nods towards a sentinel. Who motions for a few forward. Jennie Rong holds onto  Rory, who is brought out first. A few seconds follows River, flanked by Felix Reyes and Malikai Davis in a sentinel uniform. The pair stand there as Emerson glares at them.

" How much longer do we suffer for their selfish desires? How many more of our people die because of their pig headedness."

Murmurs erupt. A cacophony of angered and confused voices of Terran agreeing with Emerson. As the outlanders or those few left stand and watch in silence. She releases her hands to quell the crowd. " River Balish and Rory Bartlett. Will be taken to a holding cell. Until we, The Council have determined a suitable punishment for them both. No Outlander, is allowed within 50 miles of Terra. Any Terran seen with an Outlander after this night, will be exiled."

Emerson's eyes land on Katana, and it almost looks as though there is a slight lift of her lip as she speaks her final words. Law decreed and set with them.

"For all mankind."

 With that, she turns, her fellow council members following. River and Rory are dragged along behind. The edict that has been thrown out is swift. As sentinels aim their weapons towards those remaining Outlanders. A line has been drawn. Any ideas of reconciliation are gone.  

Admin Note:

Welcome to the Consequences, which Are the final part of the Remembrance Day event.

Emerson and the council have spoken; this is the last night many will be able to see their loved ones again. Or at least that is what it seems. 

Outlanders and Terrans, Collect your dead and injured and say your goodbyes. Because the next time, it may not be so cordial. 

 You are free to continue your event threads. Or post those goodbye threads for those of you who will be separated from your loved ones. The event will be over officially come Monday, where we will start a new weekly World Update. Please, if you plan to have any significant injuries to your character. Make sure to message the main if you haven’t reached out to Admin J already. 

Thank you for your participation and bearing with us during our first event. Not that bad, right? We cannot wait to see what goodies are about to unfold. 

Both Admin B and J wish you all a Happy Holidays, a Happy New Year, and we hope you all are ready for the ride!

Preparations

The anticipation has mounted for days. Preparation for this year’s Remembrance Day well underway. In the early morning hours, the streets are filled with lanterns. Some are made of glass, other of paper. Varying in different shapes and sizes. Casting the empty early morning streets in different facets of color like the rainbow. Whispers circulating throughout Tera; for the arrival of the Outlanders. Some voices speak up out of worry, others? Excited to see the loved ones that have returned to them. This year being the first time they would all come together again. 

A message of peace being spread among those; the citizens of Tera. To enjoy this time but be wary. Just because they have offered peace doesn't mean their guest will follow it.   Helena Matthews,  Captain of the Sentinels has prepared her people. Handing out assignments to those who will be on duty. Her Lieutenants: Dakota Blake and Felix Reyes settling into their sectors for the day.  Chief Medical Physician Amelia Wayne setting up her medic booth with her staff. For those in need of first aid. 

 The Bazaar is filled with different booths and stalls ready to be filled by those who will be participating in activities. An arts and crafts area for those to grab their paper lantern for that evening release of them.  Tables to decorate your lantern with messages. Well wishes, and your hope for  the future. 

De' Lucas and Pandora will be providing food and drinks. The fresh fruits, veggies, and meats are organized and set up in baskets by Nicola Balish as an offering for those to take home— a gift from The Council reminding those of just how fortunate they are to be living in a paradise. Staffing on the farm feed have prepared the animals they've brought and cloned with them for animal petting and for those who’d like to get to the many different activities throughout Tera ; a hayride will be their form of transport. 

The Arrival

Street actors, musicians and performers;  prepare near Musala; the building in the center of town. As dawn breaks over the horizon. Figures moved from within the bloodwood. Slowly emerging from the foliage.  Lilith Bane stands outside the gate ready to greet their guests. With her private security team helmed by Kade Bishop as they watch the Outlanders move towards them. It's an awesome sight, leaving the young and old standing, mouths agape at the fearsome sight they make. How was it possible these were their family and friends who had turned their back on their way of life? 

Some come on foot, others on the backs of their Zepters. Pulling carts full of barrels of blood meed, fresh meat, and other oddities of Abellio. Things that can be found on their side of the Bloodwoods. Katana Mar, leading her people towards — what they are told is a chance for peace. But like the Terrans, The Outlanders have come ready for anything.

The opening speech was given by none other than Emerson Avery before making their way to The Hall of Remembrance. A candlelight precession, lighting the candles and lanterns left near the names on the wall. Honoring those who have fallen. It would appear that this year's festivities would prove to be far more interesting than previous ones. To the untrained eye, all looks well. Still, for those who know what to look for, there is something or perhaps someone missing. All the while a strange figure hangs back out of sight of Terrans and Outlanders. Watching how this scene will unfold. 

Admin Notes: Welcome to EVENT 001 everyone. The event will start today. Part 1 & 2 of this event will be taking place on the discord server. Dec 21, will kick off part 3,  these last two days will be held on the dash. And followed with a plot drop.

 Just a few things to note. 

—Outlanders: As a guest, your weapons have been confiscated. Left outside the city gates with a standing sentinel watching over them. You are however allowed one hidden weapon of your choice. You will have eyes on you for most of the day so be wary of what you say and do. 

—Terrans: You are free to move about at will. Only sentinels are allowed to have armed  weapons out. However, like the Outlanders; you are allowed one weapon or tool to hide on your person. Why you need it in paradise...who knows?

Tera: Power cells group with: @delvedinto​, @jennierong​, @sofinfotech​, 

When she was told that she would be helping with preparations for the incoming lightning storm. River thought that they would make her collect water or help with the animals. She hadn't expected her jailer to escort her to the group working on the power cells. What were they thinking? Granted, it wasn't like they would have to know how River, of all people, knew her way around the power nacelles. Diverting them to her father's lab had been easy. Never to much from one, they pulled from all the primary power cells in the sector. Closer inspection, however, would show that the power was being removed from somewhere. Maybe being assigned to this group was a blessing after all.   "The first storm of the years this is exciting." she teased, offering up a pleasant smile to the rest of the group she was bound to for the next 7 hours. She figures she better play nice for the time being—no need to stir the pot being snarky.

Food Forage Group With: @interstxllcr & @galcsis​

He didn’t have much time. It would have been faster if he was on his own. But Kat insisted that he should have Gene and Athena with him to collect last-minute extra food. Reign knew better than to argue and considering that he wouldn’t be making the trek to Sky Cliff this time round. The desire to want to help as much as Reign could be there. He knew these people for five years. Watched them, learned of them. He preferred the outlanders to Tera, but he was ready to go home. He needed to go home if his people had any chance of surviving another 100 years. They’ve been at this for hours now, 

“ This should be enough,” he called to his companions. He’d found a nest of trees round the parameter of mount Lumina early on. And during this time of the year, they bore some of the sweetest Meridian fruit.  

“ If we want to make it back to the camp in time, we will need to head back now.”
