comedownthisroadATTENTION ALL FIRST-BORN CHILDREN
So we're clearly dealing with a case of the biblical plagues of Egypt here. Granted, it's obviously gotten changed up a bit - flies are fleas and ticks, and the monsters today were "wild animals" of the most extreme variation. However, we have no reason to believe that they'll change too much.
And, as I'm sure many of you know, the final plague (which, at this rate, will fall this next Wednesday) is the death of the firstborn, which the Israelites escaped by painting the blood of a lamb on their doors.
Working in conjunction with some conjurers who are getting lambs as best they can, and a great personal sacrifice of a friend has secured the auditorium of the Jewish Community Center on Melrose for Tuesday and Wednesday. That way, we have as many bases covered as possible. This haven will be for anyone who is the first-born or only child in their family, or who isn't sure of their status for one reason or another. There will be angels and demons in the same room. I think we can all agree that this is a good enough reason to put the treaty to a real test. Yes, I know that technically the JCC is in angel territory, but so help me, if I catch anyone trying to provoke any sort of attack, from any side, you will very likely not live to see Thursday.
Unfortunately, with the cars and such not working, everyone will have to walk to the JCC, during the plague of darkness. Because of this, I'm looking for archangels, behemoths, and anyone else trained in combat to act as escorts for the people who will want to take advantage of our haven. Small groups, don't have the mundanes outnumber the guards more than 2 to 1. We can get everything set up if I can get a semi-accurate count of who'll be available for escort duty, and who wants to be escorted, so please comment if you'd like to do either. We will find a way to transport you if you're not able to walk the distance, so any shapeshifters or behemoths who can be ridden, or who could theoretically pull a cart of some sort would be appreciated.
Also, I'm saying this up-front, I'm looking for skilled and reliable Glaysas to help keep the panic and antagonization to a minimum while we're all cooped up in there. The emotional influence will be kept to a minimum (or there will be blood), but El and I both think it necessary for this situation. If you are uncomfortable with minor emotional stabilization, you're free to risk death elsewhere, but from what I can see, we've probably got the most secure setup in the city.
I'm uncertain whether or not to open this haven to any mundanes you might know, but if you know a first-born mundane who either knows about us or will handle our existence well, you may bring them. Otherwise, we'll do what we can to share the lamb's blood, but there's only going to be so much to go around, so you might want to let them know they should be making plans.
This solution is not a guarantee of living through the tenth plague, but hopefully it'll increase our chances.
Thank you.

I spoke with Elashte, and he said that we can definitely spare a lamb or two for your organization, should you wish to stay in your own facilities. I'm hoping, however, that I can count on a bit of support during the transportation phase, at least, since I know your people are good under pressure and in... special circumstances.
Thanks.

Date: 2009-10-29 09:23 pm (UTC)I'm not much tested in combat situations, though I do know how to handle a gun, but my ability allows me to store solar energy and use it as either an ambient glow or an energy beam that is quite handy as a weapon or shield. I can make a point to charge up in the next few days so I'll be able to help with visibility.
I don't think the Guv'll mind if I help.
And if he does, he can suck it.no subject

Date: 2009-10-29 09:37 pm (UTC)Currently, I'm serving as a guardian to the Prophet's compound along with Cooper Hawkes and Shane Vansen, both capable and able-bodied as well. Though our primary concern will be escorting those of the Prophet's people who wish to join you and our availability will be dictated by their needs, please let us know what we might be able to do to help.

Date: 2009-10-30 02:43 pm (UTC)granted, if this doesn't work, i'll be dead with the rest of the bastards, but torchwood has three medics and i'm sure we could spare one. though one is a guardian, so she may not be leaving her ward.

Date: 2009-10-31 04:46 am (UTC)Coming from the police force, however, I can imagine there might be many more people willing to take us up on the offer. If you do happen to have any blood to share, I'd like to use the police station as a shelter for the ordinary human firstborns around here.
