Welcome to Gaia! ::

The first time on the roller coaster was fun. The ride to the top of the first drop was awful, as always, but Fleur was at least sort of used to that. The second time was much worse for so many reasons. By the third time around, she was seriously freaking out, and that was before she noticed the youma around and the noise in the distance.

Did that mean this was some Negaverse thing? Lovely. Either way, she didn't really have a chance to power up or get off the coaster as she was busy literally hanging on for dear life and screaming. Hopefully she wouldn't attract too much attention...

The panic didn't really go away. Fleur's screams stopped, partly through an extreme effort on her part, but mostly just because she was out of breath. Focus, she told herself, trying and failing to not notice the huge drop beneath her and the fact that the car was barely staying on the track at the sharper turns. That wasn't very reassuring. It was, however, enough to convince her that she couldn't stay on the coaster, even if it meant she'd have to jump off. Everything is going to be all right. Possibly.

Glancing around and not seeing any agents of Chaos on board, she transformed, which made her feel a little better. Still, she doubted that the bit of extra strength would be any use at all if the coaster decided that now was the time to collapse. It did help a little, though, as she held onto the car for a few seconds after unbuckling the safety strap with very shaky fingers.

Then, she threw herself from the car in a fairly smooth motion, letting out another cry. She landed pretty hard on her hands and knees, scraping them a little. She didn't care. She was just happy to be alive.

Alfheim would be eternally grateful that of the straws the various soldiers of this war drew, his was not that of a 90 pound teenage girl like a statistically odd number of Order's members.

He was busy scanning the crowds for injured or trampled civilians, when he turned just in time to react to a youma lunging at him. His fist wrapped around his bottle, he instinctively punched it, and while his hand hurt, he must've hit it just right because instead of getting a face full of youma claw he ended up coughing on it's dust.

He glanced around, trying to maintain a certain calm with mild success, which was hard, because people were literally falling out of the sky.

He saw a knight (Vesuvius) drop onto the platform with a roll and started darting towards the area, pausing his search for the civilian woman he'd come with. "Hey man!" He shouted. "Are you oka-- AH" He almost stumbled back, even though she wasn't anywhere near him, when a girl landed on her hands and knees. While they seemed to have the luckier landing styles, it was still nerve wracking, He didn't want to start playing catch the civilian.

Speaking of civilians.

He leaned on the railing of steps leading up to the platform to try to get a better vantage point as she survey fallen and fleeing civilians alike, half hoping he didn't see who he was looking for. "NICOLE?!"

Rolls:
Roll #1: 1 (The Cue)
Roll #2: 10

Alright. It took Hafwen awhile but she totally had this floating sensation figured out so she could actually go where she wanted to go. The chaotic situation and the screaming from the en masse weren't really helping much with her headache so she seek out where she felt might be the best place to do something about it - the control booth for the roller coaster ride itself. Perhaps if she managed to put the brakes on that thing, the screaming will stop just a little...

Hafwen didn't know how she did it with the number of youma and Negaverse agents out there but she made it to the already abandoned booth that housed the control relatively unscathed and without attracting any attention to herself. Lucky! Alright. Now where was that pretty little Stop button on this hmm?

Blinking a few times, she rubbed at her eyes then squinted at the tiny words on the console, trying to get them into focus. Ah. There it was... only that she couldn't push it since someone or something had smashed that particular portion as well as the speed control of the roller coaster up, thereby preventing anyone else from tampering with it. Bummer... looks like those stuck on the ride were on their own unless someone could rescue them or something!

It had taken quite awhile to wait out the substantial line for the 'coaster - almost enough time to digest everything and ruin his experiment. No, there were some remnants, and they had sat like bricks just to keep him assured. Not so much anymore, now that the ride had started; they were still bricks, but everything was practically airborne once the ride really got underway. It hadn't seemed so fast from view in the cue. And no wonder that thing was so long, because this ride felt like it was going on forever. Sekani swore that they passed up the boarding platform three times (speaking of, what was going on there?) and the wind was only rushing faster and faster at his face. He halfheartedly cursed the decision to zip up his camcorder in his small backpack and not have this whole thing on film. But, we've all seen Final Destination.

There went the boarding platform again.

"BEST. RIDE. EVER!"

Mica found that the que line was entirely too boring for her, and she looked around to her fellow officers that may have been around. She suspected that they were doing just fine and wouldn't require her constant attention. After all, both of them were grown man, and that Bischofite seemed eager to continue her good work.

So, it was onto the Roller Coaster itself for her, to initiate the second part of the plan. Slicing at a civilian that got in her way and ignoring everything around her, she made her running start and leapt onto the coaster, mere moments before it took off down the track.

Now the real fun could begin!

Cybele spent an entire second just sitting there, taking a deep breath while generally freaking out about the fact that she'd just jumped off a speeding coaster. The next was spent slowly standing up, and looking at the two people closet to her. Knights, she was pretty sure. "Hello," she said, unable to think of anything else to say. After that, it was pretty much impossible to ignore all the Chaos that had been swirling around her all along, when she'd been too panicked to realize it. There were tentacles and teeth of youma everywhere. Screams kept sounding in the distance. Was... was that a body?

If, later on, the Negaverse tried to pretend they were helping or protecting anyone through this, she was going to have to strongly object. In fact, she was going to have to strongly object now.

Of course, when she was busy thinking heroic thoughts was a great time for a youma to run up and attack her. This one looked like a large monkey with exaggerated limbs and fangs, and it dropped on her from the coaster track above. She'd been ready for something though, so she managed to throw it off her before it could really hurt her. Now to dust it before it could hurt anyone else...
