fhlogsThings have been fairly peaceful for a while now as everyone has settled into their current lives on this new world. But one day towards late summer, that all comes to an end.
One of the portals in the sky suddenly opens again, an odd glowing light surrounding it as it ejects creature after creature. Then it closes, followed by another glowing portal elsewhere in the sky emitting the same creatures. Small and black, mostly, with odd antennae and glowing eyes. Some here will know them. The Heartless, creatures of the darkness who seek hearts. Those they attack, if they give in to the darkness in their hearts, will become Heartless themselves.
Where is a Keybearer when we need one?!
OOC INFO
Heartless can be encountered anywhere! They're pouring into Edge, the Midgar ruins, Kalm, Wutai, and everywhere else. Balamb Garden won't be spared, but if they're able to seal everything off in time and take flight, they may be safe from the majority of the creatures and be a safehouse for anyone desperate to escape them.
Anyone familiar with Heartless is encouraged to try to defeat them (or control them, if they're lucky enough to possess that ability). But they may find something else will push back if they try. Did someone deliberately send the Heartless through the portals? Who, and why? Does someone on the other side of those portals know what's happening here? And why are the portals glowing when they open? Is there any important significance in that?
(And yes, this is a very significant event that will have a deep bearing on the overall plot!)
Before anyone asks, having your character become a Heartless is probably not a good idea, given that it would be very difficult to get them back to their normal selves at this point in the game. But we welcome intense situations of Heartless trying their hardest to claim hearts before they're stopped!
The event is scheduled to run through August 10th, but backdating and backtagging is encouraged for as long as everyone wants! Post toplevels to this post or create new posts!

"Nobels," Briar said, shaking his head.
"This has nothing to do with political power and everything to do with us. We learned that perfectly well against the empress after all, and she out ranked all of us put together."
Tris snorted. "Yes, we did such a wonderful job," she said flatly. "You were kidnapped how many times...? And oh yes, let's not forget the curse that caused me to tumble down the stairs and break so many bones."
"I'm with copper curls, also not really in a rush to be in another war," Briar said flatly. "You've seen some of what it was like, it was worse than the pirates worse than Amery, worse than anything. Worse even than Namorn. Let's do what we have top to protect this place while we're here, but that's it."
Daja nodded. "Defense is better than reacting to offense, no matter how proud we may be."
Sandry scowled at them all, but held her tongue.
Re: *Briar
"I sincerely hope your time here will not be filled with such disasters," he said. He also hoped the Heartless were the only things they'd be at war with, but he was worried. Someone had likely sent them out, and somehow his normal powers over them were being blocked. Why?
