Gather Up Your Loved Ones, Gather Up Your Friends
Warnings: Nox. So many Nox. All of the Nox. And also violence.
Location: All over the city
Characters: Everyone, and also so many Nox. Did we mention Nox?
When: Not long after the repairs on the sinkhole start
Summary: People getting kidnapped by Nox. Yikes.
The repairs on the sinkhole have been going well, but somehow, the city hasn't been the same. There's a heaviness in the air, like a thunderstorm building on the horizon. The normal sounds of a city night have given way to hoots and howls of creatures. The Nox are restless at night and quiet during the day. The local people are opting to stay inside when they don't absolutely have to go out.
Something is coming. Something big.
Then it happens, on a unseasonably warm fall day. High noon and the streets start rumbling, the violent rattling of the manhole covers loud enough to drown out thought. Then, shadowy tentacles burst out the street from every underground entrance, blindly grabbing for whoever they can snatch, overpowering their unlucky victims and bodily dragging them into the nearest available manhole or sewer entrance. If you’re lucky, you get away. If not...enjoy your private tour of the unending blackness and horrifying whispers that is the sewers.
[OOC: Feel free to play out your character's kidnapping or reactions to the chaos however you want in this log! If you want an NPC Nox to react to, just let a mod know!]

Greg grunts, and one vine wrapped around a tentacle develops long thorns to keep the shadowy tendril from breaking free. "The--the park. I can do more there." The concrete is getting in the way of making too many more useful plant-drones.

Is this what it's going to look like when Homeworld's plans come to fruition? The thought only rises for a moment before drowning in the sea of panic thrashing in her head. And when the sea gets high, the only thing to do is get to high ground, which she does by hauling herself onto Greg.

"What the hey are these things after, anyway?!" He gasps. "They just popped out of nowhere!"
no subject
"Who cares! Just keep running! We can't fight these things like we can the shadows!"

And it makes it even tougher when a tentacle lashes out from a storm drain, tripping Greg up and sending them into a high-speed sprawl over the pavement.
