KRAKEN DRILL!, EARLY Wednesday morning

[weirderthanthou]

In the middle of the night, the sirens went off.

Everyplace that had a siren unless it was handwavily broken in case a player doesn't want to get involved exploded into a cacophony of sound. It rang shrill, and loud, and it was nearly impossible to escape.

It rang again, louder.

And again.

And then the PA system kicked in."HELLO ISLAND. KRAKEN! KRAKEN! KRAKEN! PLEASE GO TO TOWN CENTER AT THE CROSS OF BLACK SWAN DRIVE AND UNICORN STREET, AWAY FROM THE SHORES, AND TIE YOURSELF TO THE NEAREST AVAILABLE OBJECT."

It repeated itself another handful of times. And then the whole thing started all over again.

At the center of Black Swan Drive and Unicorn Street, a variety of ropes and scarves and some handcuffs had been left for those who didn't bring their own.

Well. That was new.

[[ KRAKEN DRILL! Now with some OCD... ]]

Polly made some more noises in her general direction, squirming about with zero desire to heed to Octavia's muttered, "Chil yu au, strikon." Possible because there was nothing for him to eat right here.

She rolled her eyes at him before looking up at Irene again. "Yeah, I guess," she said. "I don't really remember how Duke ended up actually giving him a name." Which was sad, really, because it had been a somewhat hilarious gremlin bite situation. "It was a long time ago."

Octavia, way to do something way more interesting than hold a bird! Even if he was a cute bird.

"Oh, is he bilingual?" she asked lightly, smiling. And what she was really asking there was What language was that?

Octavia snorted. "I don't think he's anylingual," she rasped, glancing down at him again. "So it doesn't really matter which one you speak to him."

She was aware there was another implicit question being asked here, but, well. Sometimes she made sport of playing dumb.

(Or was still trying to decide if she wanted to get into it. Either way.)
