FIRE (KRAKEN) DRILL!!!, LOON DRIVE, FRIDAY NIGHT
Were you sleeping soundly in whatever underwear you had left, Fandom? Not anymore!
At 2 AM, sirens all across the island began to blare. A PA system turned on, featuring a metallic voice loudly yelling: "KRAKEN DRILL. KRAKEN DRILL. ALL INHABITANTS GRAB RAIN GEAR AND ASSEMBLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LOON DRIVE AND GRIFFIN WAY. I REPEAT. KRAKEN DRILL. KRAKEN DRILL. ALL INHABITANTS GRAB RAIN GEAR AND ASSEMBLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LOON DRIVE AND GRIFFIN WAY."
If anyone hoped it was going to stop before 4 AM, sorry: no.
At least there wasn't an actual kraken, so Loon Drive's stone streets wouldn't be slippery with rain. And at least Mayor Faden hadn't deployed her tie yourself to a building addition to the kraken emergency plan yet...
[[ have at, all ]]

Unfortunately, he also hadn't the faintest what a fire drill was. So he came rushing out of the school, alarmed, confused, and... sort of haplessly bedecked in his sort-of-clean clothes.
"What's happening?"
no subject
Jack had not wanted to show up here in nothing but a dirty pair of jogging pants and an umbrella. Great. "I am sleeping with earplugs in every night I'm here."

Her hair clung in aesthetically appropriate ways to her shoulders and chest.

Eleanor, however, just sighed and rolled her eyes and wouldn't point out that, technically speaking, Luma had as much sea-creature blood in her as she did, even if Luma's blood ran red and not orange. Although, really, the scientific logistics of their bloodline was...confusing, at best. Either way, there really was nothing better to do than do as the alarm instructed, Luma doing a remarkable job of looking like a drowned dog even in her human form, a rain jacket thrown over her faded, dingy old nightgown, and Eleanor seeming relatively unbothered by the rain in one of her many, many shirts from Shenanigans and a pair of shorts.
Honestly? She kind of liked the rain.

No reason that particular day and time, honest.

It was a very cranky Jaina who was out here in shorts and a tank top with tired kids.
no subject
But he was wearing clean clothes and had a backpack over his shoulder. Almost as if he was someone who was used to having to get up and be out the door at a moment's notice.
no subject
"Barnes," he said with a nod and a sideways glance.

She also had her lightsaber, just in case there was actually something to worry about, but she had nowhere to put it so it was just in hand.
no subject
"I assume the drill part means there's no actual kraken and we're just out here for fun?" Well, not fun for them, but maybe fun for someone else.

Had he been awake when the alarm went off? Yes. Yes, he had. Because it was a lot harder to physically drag him out of the lab when you were a dog. Sorry, Steve.
no subject
"I recognize one of those dogs," Jaina said.

She owned like fifteen identical tank tops, so she looked about the same as she always did.

Yes, he was clad only in a pair of pink boxers. Hush. Grabbing the cat had been more important than grabbing real pants.

But maybe don't look for too long/too closely, if you didn't wanna get an eyeful.
"This is bullshiiiiit," she whined, to no one in particular. Bruce, at her feet, looked equally displeased - and kind of groggy, for a hyena.

He was tired and still trying to get his bearings, really.

You wouldn't think Harley would feel the need to check she had it correct, and normally she wouldn't, but. Come on. Middle of the night, sirens, give a gal a break!

Hellos were for times when there weren't alarms blaring about non-existent krakens.

Please? Could he have just a little kraken-fighting? As a treat?

"Do you think Raiden will be bringing snacks?" she asked. Hopefully.
Look, if she had to be out here at stupid o'clock in the morning, there could at least be food about it.

And if everyone could just ignore the hastily wrapped and still bleeding cut on her left forearm that would be fantastic. If she'd realized this wasn't real she would have taken the time to actually get dressed and not slapped on a heavy glamour. Honestly.

"I swear to gods," Prompto was muttering, shaking his head while balancing baby and umbrella, "I swear to gods, if someone doesn't give me a good reason why this is even needed, I...."
Well, he didn't know what he was going to do. Sulk, probably.
But right now, he was just trying to get Noctra quiet, and be extremely glad that he had those noise-dampening headphones for her with those sirens.

But if it really was just a drill and they weren't actually fighting anything, he was mostly just already looking forward to a little Cup NoodleTM after all this was done to at least get his day started right...if pretty much stupidly early.
