All bubbles pop eventually

[thalassino]

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.))

[Oh. She notices. That's why she takes the next corner with an exceptionally great outward sway that may just fling Angelo sideways if he doesn't stop focusing his attention on her chest instead of the ride itself.]

[He turns his attention back to the ride instead of on Honey's chest, clinging onto the ride itself now. Was she trying to knock him off or something?]

[Nope, it was just a friendly warning that Angelo shouldn't push her limits. She's the one driving a speedy motorcycle, after all. Speaking of which, they'll arrive at the elevator after a few more twisting turns, where the motorcycle comes to a screeching halt.]

[Angelo gets off the motorcycle and smiles back at Honey.]

Thanks for the ride, darling.

[Before he goes though, he leans in and gives Honey a quick cheek kiss then heads up the elevator.]

[Hah? Haaah? What was that, Honey doesn't even-

She'll just... stand there and attempt to stifle the blush on her cheeks.]
