Blackout log Part A!
WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: All four of the imPort cities
WHEN: Starting January 14th and running through January 21st
WHAT: BLACKOUT! OOC information can be found HERE
WARNINGS: Please put any applicable warnings on the subject line of your comment threads.
It happens precisely at the stroke of midnight EST on the 14th.
Everybody is going along about their business, whether that is working, sleeping, skulking about the shadows, sitting and catching up on Rumblr, any possible activity you can imagine when suddenly... it all goes dark. Perhaps a moment passes, perhaps five minutes pass as people wait out the darkness. Then, just as the feeling that this might be more than a temporary hiccup, a messages flashes across any device connected to the network:
”We did warn you. All of you have so much power. That comes at a cost. If you can't see in the darkness, then look to the stars.”
Any attempts to access the network or respond to the cryptic message will only result in the message being repeated across the screen.
As minutes turn into hours, there is no indication of the power returning. At the fifth hour mark loudspeakers, studded across the city from times long since past, beginning to send out status updates. The first update calls for calm and any available assistance at local hospitals. From that point forward, every five hours, a government worker will tell the time, list hot spots of activity and where one can expect to seek shelter.
Because as the hours progress, the government worker has more and more to report. Petty looting begins to crop up (will you go and protect local businesses, hero?) and that soon escalates to home invasions as well as muggings on the street (or will you take advantage of the chaos, villain?).
In the beginning certainly, people were concerned but not filled with panic; despite the lack of inclement weather or natural disasters to cause a power outage, power outages certainly aren't uncommon, and people were well accustomed to weathering them out for a few hours, even if they were unhappy to do so. Once it became clear that this wasn't a normal power outage but rather an attack, however, people began to panic, and panic? Never a good thing.
Despite the traffic lights being down, people begin to pile onto the road to raid their local grocery stores, resulting in both car crashes and plenty of close calls where people are in need of assistance, particularly without cell phones to call for help, and the owners of the few stores that decided to keep their doors open for a flood of frantic customers get rioting locals for their troubles, whether it's simply taking what they want or trampling others underfoot.
The hospitals, currently undergoing a nurse shortage are even more frantic; without a good tell of how long their generators will be able to keep them going, particularly after so long having never had to use them for long periods of time, they're going to need help providing for those who depend on life support or suffer from terminal illnesses - and don't forget the kids in there, hushed and scared in the dark, apt to tugging on their IVs and roaming the halls. The hospital hallways will be filled with incoming patients, caught up in the scramble, and with worried family members willing to badger anyone who looks even remotely official for more information.
Citizens who find that they are not well equipped for the blackout find themselves shuttled to nearby schools and community centers where they can get blankets, canned food, and bottled water as they hunker down in gyms and conference rooms to try to get a good night's sleep, but for those who aren't close enough to walk over there while the buses are running on a limited basis may need help with transportation or may simply need a helpful imPort to come and deliver to them what they need to survive... if they're not too young, old or sick to absolutely need that extra warmth, that is. Why not lend them a hand?
Of course, not everyone involved in the blackout are simply victims in need of a helping hand. Looters and petty criminals will find opportunity in the madness and will begin to break into residential areas or begin to smash the windows and doors of local businesses to loot whatever's inside - and it's not only the looters that heroic imPorts need to deal with. The owners of these businesses may not take these break-ins lying down, and may be armed and dangerous, willing to shoot to kill anyone who wishes to steal their precious wares.
All right, imPorts - you’ve got work to do!
[OOC: This is the event log for the Blackout event! Feel free to use this log for your threads or make your own. Key timing items:
1) Complete blackout starting midnight on the 14th; no working Network, Electricity, or Cell Towers for the first 48 hours.
2) The porters between cities will be back up and functioning within 24 hours.
3) Midnight of the 17th the Network and Cell Towers will come back up.
4) A second log will be posted specifically for the prison break and the extremely dangerous 417!
If you have any questions at any time, please hit up the OOC information post HERE If you want to run an overarching plot during this event, please submit those ideas on the Plotting Post.
Have fun in the dark, guys! ]

A;
The days at Aliea certainly came with strange ideas proposed by her siblings. The days at Sun Garden usually came with some bizarre game of play-pretend in which her brothers brought out some of the most unexpected items to use for their adventures. That is what she's reminded of as she watches this strange girl move around the yard, surrounded by... pigs.
Okay then.]
If you're going to start a fire, you should be prepared for putting it out, too.
no subject
We have a ton of fire extinguishers! Plus the fire is gonna be aimed at any robbers who come into the house, and once they get set on fire they'll run out of the house and stop drop and roll.
no subject
What if you miss and your home catches fire?
no subject
no subject
It's dangerous. Don't use the fire -- if you do cause one, the fire department will not be able to get to you on time.
no subject
[She sighs. Well! Back to the drawing board.]
What are you doing for your security system? Where you live!
no subject
If someone breaks in, we have ways of fighting them off. [soccer?] But the neighborhood has been quiet; I'd rather not draw attention.
