Something Massive This Way Comes | Crocker Univeristy
If you turn on the news at all this afternoon, you might notice that the entire city is in a state of straight up panic. The news reporters are frantically trying to find the proper words to say "A massive cyclops monster has emerged next to Crocker University and it is heading north."
Perhaps, if you're close enough, you'll hear the thing's massive footsteps as it cracks pavement and sends good town citizens screaming and running for cover.
Or perhaps you're listening into the police radio somehow, hearing their attempts to harm the thing go entirely to waste. Clearly, they aren't cut out to face giant monsters - that's up to somebody else.
It's time to shine, heroes!
((OOC Notes: First off, a reminder that if you participate in this battle, you will NOT be able to participate in the second battle, which will happen from the 27th-31st. Pick whichever one works best with your schedule.
Secondly, we are going to try a new battle format for this series of battles. Multiple attacks from multiple characters can be launched at once rather than needed to wait for a monster response between each attack. The way this will work is that you will make a direct reply to the most recent monster post, detailing your character's attack - do NOT reply anybody else's attacks. For now, this means you can also launch consecutive attacks, though there may be instances in which your character will have to sit out a round due to damages; we'll let you know if this happens.
Here's a concrete example of what a battle thread may look like.
At the end of this event, we'll try and get a sense about how you guys like this new battle method. We're hoping this will streamline battles a bit more and give everybody a shot at the action!))

Nepeta: Equius is fuckin dead
“You made it!” She hadn’t expected him to turn up, but hadn’t doubted that he might, considering their previous plans and the way he tended to worry about her in situations deemed ‘dangerous’.
Unfortunately, her joy was short lived as the attacks brought the beast down. She watched in almost slow motion horror as the ground got closer, and as the monster fell on top of Equius. She tumbled away to spare herself from suffering the same fate of being crushed under its mass, and immediately got up again to try and push pry and lure the monster into getting off of him.
“Equius!”
She felt almost sick as she watched the hulking monster struggling to right itself, she hoped Equius was still alive down there. Furiously she rammed her shoulder into its side.
Re: Nepeta: Equius is fuckin dead
It was difficult to breathe and he thanked the bandana the rouge had given to him for keeping the foes ooze away from his mouth and nose. Most of his upper body was in pain because of its own thickness and the weight of the monster, and on top of that, he was getting soaked in its blood and his own sweat produced by his futile struggle. All the damage he could really do from underneath it was digging his metal denture into its softened hide, at the other end of things his thick legs were kicking (or trying to) the beasts groin.
