All bubbles pop eventually
Yesterday was a day of celebration. For once, it seemed that the foreigners were able to affect the coral, and in a positive way at that. The coral lit back up, the barrier strengthened, and everything looked like it was back to normal again.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last.
Overnight the coral begins to dim again, flickering wildly along with the bubble itself. Those who stayed up on the island might notice the strange lights coming up through the waves if they're awake. The ones who stayed in the bubble will notice more than that. The atmosphere is tense, and every now and then there's an echoing crack, like a massive piece of glass is slowly losing its integrity.
By the time the morning arrives, the crack in the bubble is evident. After hours of threatening it, the crack finally falls open with a thundering snap, allowing the ocean to rush in. It hasn't yet given up entirely, but there's a steady stream of water pouring in to the plaza and on to the coral. The waterfall would be a pretty sight if not for the situation.
Hopefully no one stayed down there that long.
((OOC: The bubble has cracked! Feel free to use this post as a mingle log if desired. The elevator is still functioning, so anyone down in the bubble will have some time to escape.))

Action (haha wow my HTML fail that last tag /CASUALLY IGNORES :'D )
[He's got the bright blue Zuna tunic on, a strange contrast to the orange he normally wears. But he should be able to swim and breathe, and at the very worst, have at least one way to get trapped citizens out of swamped areas. He knows he's a strong swimmer - his concerns are minimal.
There's a slight hesitation, Guy adjusting the tunic around his neck]
...Is there a chance the drainage holes will damage the integrity of the city floor?
There there. I'm late as hell.
[Jade is wearing his own tunic, not much different from his usual uniform.]
Action
Okay, no.]
That's comforting.
Well, I'll try to spread the word when we get down there. No need for anyone to go and fall into a sinkhole just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time or anything.
[Or for just being an idiot. But that didn't need to be voiced.]
Re: Action
Jade's a villain, though.]
I have a comrade setting up beacons by the holes to prevent that.
Action
So it's a matter of just keeping an eye out for those on top of everything else, right? The last thing I'd want would be to get in your way.
[It's a genuine statement, despite the light tone. Guy's not about to play games with a person like the Colonel when there could be lives at stake down in the bubble.]
Re: Action
[Or so said Darkleer, if he remembered the Troll's name correctly.]
Yes. Any others and the beacons. Other than that, evacuate yourself if there are any worse developments. You're no good dead.
[It was unsaid that Guy was to begin thinking of himself only at that point. Others were on their own at that point.]
