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.))

Alright, I'm done. We can go now.

[Laharl has sharp ears. ...you know, as long as he's awake.
But he'll turn and head for the staircase. No reason to hang around.]

[He seems like he doesn't care that what he's saying is insulting, but his ears remain back, listing for the tell-tale crackle of a fireball ready to launch at him.]
no subject
[Nope. He's decided to misinterpret that remark so it's not an insult.]
no subject
With a small huff, Sola just makes his way to the stairs and heads down, not bothering to hold the door for Laharl.]

Of course, before they've even reached the first floor, they run into the rising water.]
Ugh. It's really gotten this high already?
no subject
[How can you sleep through this, dude? Seriously.]
no subject
Tch. It'll probably be easier going out a window.
[He turns back for the nearest floor above water.]
