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.))

Hmm...
[The blue Chocobo hops around in his hand as he considers handing it over, then beats those little puffy wings when he carefully does so. These things were important to Lea. No way is he going to let something bad happen to them.]
Fine. Just take it easy.
no subject
Taking the little guy carefully and letting Athena scope him out as well.]
We're expecting.
[A pause as he scratched the bird's head.]
Back where I'm from. A friend left his chocobo with my crew and he met a female.

And if only you can see the face Axel makes when Faris says that. UH. Ok. We-- Oh. That's what you meant]
Ah. So there's gonna be a lot more of these guys running around.
no subject
And gosh! Not like you could get knocked up here
otherwise it would probably have been known by now that Faris is a trap!.Unless it's Athena who is expecting or the cats. Maybe the fish, but Faris doesn't pay them much mind.]
Yeah. [Preening the little guy's back.]
Something like that. Did you have them back in your world?
no subject
Nah. Least not from what I've seen. We've got huge bird things... but they're definitely not as tame as these little guys.
[WARK]
no subject
[Athena is nosing at Faris' hand. Just lowering it so Athena can investigate the bird again.]
Going to keep 'em after this?
[A nod towards the water.]
no subject
Dunno. They get pretty big. It's not like we've got a lot of space in our apartment, y'know?
[...]
Still. Guess it would be pretty dumb to just leave them.
