"What the f*ck?" mumbles Jess to herself, turning to peer into the shop behind her where the lights had gone out. Many people passing her by looked alarmed and stopped walking. She spun to enter the candy shop with Hazel and Distortion. "Hey, what the hell's going on?" she exclaims, unknowingly just repeating the boy's question. Guy kept walking as people past him. He found himself having to go around more and more people, still periodically apologizing. He glances sideways at windows, watching the reflections of some confused looking people. He picks up his pace.

"I honestly have no idea!" Hazel replied quickly, with a nervous laugh. "D-Don't worry about it, though. Everyone, this is probably just a little glitch in the system-" "The system never glitches!" An elderly woman interrupted. "I've lived here all my life, and this has never happened!" Distortion backed into a corner of the room, distress growing as people started storming outside, others looking around the store as if it'd give them an answer. He hugged at himself, hands clenched into fists, the fabric painful and starting to smoke. He had to get out... "Okay, well, if you're so confident, j-just deal with it!" Hazel snapped at the woman, storming off into the kitchen. She'd never really snapped at anyone, and already regretted it... people were scared. When they were scared, they forgot about manners. "Oh, shoot... this is bad..." She flicked the lightswitch over and over, but to no avail.
People were swarming out onto the streets, looking for some sort of answer to the mysterious, city-wide power outage. Mallory was shoved into a nearby fountain, only to find it almost drained of water. She struggled to her feet again, soaking wet and somewhat afraid. Had she seriously moved in only to find the place full of people losing their minds?
"Why're the lights out?" Topaz asked, frowning. "I don't know." Amethyst replied. She heard the shouts from town square, and promptly started walking in the other direction, taking Topaz with her. Topaz was not happy with this, tugging at Amethyst's hand in protest. "You said we'd get snacks!" "I think Town Square's shut down."

(What's happening so far? Did the black out happen yet?) Silver was flying around the city, doing tricks in the air. Her mother had already done the Christmas shopping days ago.

The streets were crowded with confused citizens, some of them shouting about the Guardians already. Mallory, finally able to find out what those were, was confused and a bit nervous. Why in the world would a city be run so bizarrely, and how hadn't anyone decided to speak against it? She looked around. Everyone just seemed confused... there were all kinds of citizens, all up in arms about the outage. Was that a dragon up there?She couldn't tell.

Silver flew down to investigate. Confused citizens were everywhere. "W-whats going on..? I'm scared.." She says.

Quick question. Are fairies considered creatures? Because I'm planning on making mine an earth fairy.

"I-I'm not really sure." Mallory stammered in reply. "People are saying... it's the, er, Guardians or something? I don't know. This hasn't ever happened before, though, has it? A city-wide blackout, I mean." She glanced nervously at the brochure, only to find it boasting about how it'd never had even the slightest difficulties with electricity. So, this was... bizarre.

Yeah, dude! Creature basically means "not 100% human."

"They are probably just slacking off today, the power will be back soon... I think.." Silver says.

Okay. My charrie's name is Violet, she's a 17-year old girl, she's a fairy, and I'm working on a picture.

"Slacking?" A man echoed, an edge of fury to his voice. "Did you just accuse the almighty Guardians of slacking?! Who do you think you are?" Mallory jumped back, her wings instinctively folding over her body as an instinctual shield. "H-Hey, what's that about? It was just an innocent guess." He stormed off, grumbling about how "kids these days" were "so disrespectful."

"Hell," mutters Jess, shaking her head. "This can't mean anything good for me. Or maybe it will. Who knows?" She shrugs and smiles carelessly, then brings herself back to reality. "Alright, first things first. You, kid-" She points at Distortion. "I can smell that smoke. Get out of any crowded area before you kill someone or burn yourself alive, alright?"
When Guy had finally picked up on the panic, he'd found it contagious and ducked into a nearby alley where there were less people so he'd stop crashing into people. He looked extremely concerned and tightened the drawstring on his hat. "What's... Oh no..."
