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.))

You will be of little use to anyone if you collapse through hunger and exhaustion.

I'm not gonna collapse. C'mon, I'm tougher than that...

[Gosh Rin you'd think you weren't ok with people being concerned about your well being...]

[Oh Rin, if you're not going to look out for yourself at least let other people do it.]

I am certain that you are, but do you not think that the people you are helping would be better served if you were also well fed and rested? There is no need to push yourself, even knowing your own limits.

... I guess it's easier to make mistakes when I'm tired.
