He scowled at the sling on his arm, looking up only when he heard footsteps, speaking before he even fully registered who was there.  “Are you all right? Do you need anything?” If he sounded a little too hopeful Connor didn’t care; all he wanted was to do something before he drove himself crazy. 

alia terra event one: EYE OF THE STORM,

It’s a often occurrence, the sudden clouds over the sky and the hard downpour of rain, but the citizens of Earth 2-c rarely fear as the rain quickly leaves just as it quickly came. Sometimes, however, the rain chooses to stay. Dark, thick clouds descend over both the Alia Terra colony and the Outpost 7 camp, bringing harsh winds and heavy rains! The sky will cry for several days, causing damage to both camps and presumably damage to their members. Try not to get caught out in the storm!

this event will start at 9:00 PM EST, Sunday, August 6th and end on 9:00 PM EST, Friday, August 11th! However, in the game, the rain will only last for four days.

you can incorporate the event details into your current threads or make new threads involving the event but please do try to put your pre-event threads on hold for the duration of the event. the ‘answer to two starters’ rule is still in effect during events. 

remember, the event doesn’t start until a notice has been posted on the main!

When the rain started, Connor was unconcerned. He was used to the tempermental weather of Earth 2-c, the dark skies and howling winds that normally dissipated within a matter of hours. 

Not this time, though. Connor almost didn’t leave the infirmary. It had been raining since he started his shift, and if things kept up he might not make it back in time for his next one. But he also needed to rest if he was going to be of any use -- and odds were good his skills might be needed in the next few days to come, if the rain didn’t let up. So home he went, slogging through the wind and the mud against his better judgment until he finally made it to his apartment and climbed into bed, hopeful that when he woke up the sky would be clear once more.
