<strong>Saturday May 25th, 1:27pm</strong><br/><hr/><br/>It was a beautiful day the temperature was around 73 f / 23 c and sunny. The roads were busy with the sounds of traffic. This was the grand opening for the shopping centre. Although it had already been open for awhile this was it's big day. Some press was on the scene with camera vans, people were flocking for the big grand opening free swag and discounts. It was a day of promise and excitement.<br/><br/>The parking lot was full of people selling fast lunches for charities, cars, and people. So many people. Inside it was the same. The escalators were packed with people and the mall was full to capacity. If Sana had known how busy it was going to be she might not have suggested it, but sometimes a carnival atmosphere is just what the doctor orders for distraction.<br/><br/>The sun felt extraordinarily warm suddenly and the thermometer went up about ten degrees. The spike in temperature was followed with a loud series of bangs like shotguns going off. It sent the patrons to the ground. Quick observations would ease peoples worries as they saw a series of transformers on the power poles and on the side of the building sparking. A transformer array blowing out. Not surprising considering the amount of stuff going on today here. Still there was a murmur as the lights went out in the mall.<br/><br/>Outside in the parking lot people mulled about their cars. They wouldn't start. The air held no sound but traffic and the murmurs of people. An unease began to settle in.<br/><br/>A minute later...<br/><br/>Then a wave of sparks shot off of electronics all over the place and the sounds of car crashes accumulated into a cacophony of sound. People shrieked and some stormed to get out of the mall. There was a sudden momentary general panic as people tossed their electronics to the ground or jumped away from vehicles. On the edge of the parking lot the sounds of car crashes began.<br/><br/>No lights. No radio. No watches. No cell phones. Almost every electronic device had gone haywire at once.<br/><br/>It all only lasted a minute then it stopped. The sky above shimmered a rainbow of hues. It was a daytime Aurora light show. Bright enough to be seen even in the bright sunshine. The Aurora would last for the next several days and shine day and night. Waves of glowing colors.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><strong>OOC</strong><br/><br/>People can post about getting ready and traveling to the shopping centre right up to and including their characters perspective on the events that occur to them from this list...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Event List (Always to be rolled Alphabetically)</span>:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Danielle</strong> - At 2013-06-14 17:43:58, Danielle (uid: 17165) rolls: 1d8 Result: 5 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=47258)<br/><del>The couple</del> (Dani alone) is at the entrance to get into the shopping center when a driver in a truck, not paying attention and jumping from sparks coming off his electronics, strikes a young woman beside her. She is seriously injured with a broken leg, fractured ribs, and possible internal bleeding. The driver of the truck jumps out and is panicking and confused about what's happening. He's obviously in shock at the accident he inadvertently caused. </li><li><strong>Mayson</strong> - At 2013-06-14 17:45:26, Mayson (uid: 17165) rolls: 1d8 Result: 2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=47259)<br/>Mayson is driving and turns to go into the parking lot of the shopping centre but is suddenly struck by a driver going through the intersection that now has no lights. The car hits her side and she gets a cut on her head just above her left ear, a sprained wrist and a cut to her forearm (leftside). <br/>  As the car jolts from the impact of the crash it is suddenly spun around as another car strikes the other side resulting in Sana receiving a cut to the head above her eye, sprained wrist and major cut on her right arm. </li><li><strong>Michelle</strong> - At 2013-06-14 17:45:58, Michelle (uid: 17165) rolls: 1d8 Result: 1 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=47260)<br/>A driver in another lane gets distracted fumbling with his cellphone that suddenly stopped working and zaps his head with a spark. He crosses lanes plowing head on into Michelle's car. Both her and Oliva are thrown forward into the dash. No airbags go off as the electronics have stopped working. The result of it breaks Michelle's nose and blackens both of her eyes. As the car spins around on the road it is struck again by another distracted driver(see Oliva's roll) resulting in Michelle's face slamming into the steering wheel knocking her unconscious and causing minor whiplash(added for the double impact). Oliva has only minor abrasions and seat belt burns but miraculously is unharmed. </li><li><strong>Oliva</strong> - At 2013-06-14 17:46:46, Oliva (uid: 17165) rolls: 1d8 Result: 1 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=47261)<br/>*See Michelle for results of both rolls*   </li><li><strong>Sana</strong> - At 2013-06-14 17:47:13, Sana (uid: 17165) rolls: 1d8 Result: 2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=47262)<br/> *See Mayson for results of both rolls*  </li><li><strong>Tristyn</strong> - At 2013-06-14 17:47:40, Tristyn (uid: 17165) rolls: 1d8 Result: 2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=47263)<br/>Tristyn is at the same intersection where all the cars get into an accident. He is side swiped by a driver that slams on his breaks suddenly. With some quick moving and a lot of luck he ends up rolling over the cars hood and landing on the pavement. His bike is totaled but his helmet protects his head and he only suffers a bruising on his right side, sprained wrist, and a gash on that right forearm.   </li></ul><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=175013.msg8285857#msg8285857">Quote from: Moraline on 25-05-2013, 19:16:48</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>First Disaster</strong><br/><br/><strong>EMP</strong> caused by massive solar activity, Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Results in complete loss of power to all devices in the area. The sky later that night will be full of beautiful aurora lights, brighter then any full moon.<br/><br/>Suddenly everyone on the West Coast loses communications with the outside world. Planes fall out of the sky, motor vehicles crash/stop working. Riots break out within hours. The riots will be isolated mostly to the poorer neighborhoods but sporadic violence and outbreaks may occur elsewhere.<br/><br/>Where will you be?<br/><br/>Our couples are all out together for a day trip shopping with plans for an evening movie together. The event begins as the couples are at various stages of arriving at the shopping center. The couples original plan was to all meet up inside at the east entrance side of the mall.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Random List rolled on</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Possible outcomes charts to be rolled by GM for each couple</strong></span>: <br/>(The details of how it plays out will be up to the role players.

In a few days power will be restored and after the first night the rioting will quiet down but it will still be dangerous to go out at night.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><div align="center">(http://www.churchillwild.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/NorthernLightsSealRiverLodg.jpg)</div><br/>
