"Honestly, we have no idea what's going on." Augustus added, sighing. "It's kind of scary. I was stuck in my house for hours, I only just broke out."
Mallory looked at the dark buildings surrounding them, and shrugged. "I can, uh, try to get a better look from up on a roof." She offered, shrugging. "A-Are you all going after the light, too?" She turned, surprised to see the white-haired boy from the candy store. He'd lost his gloves, probably in the chaotic protests. "Well, we're trying. Not much else to do. I'm Mallory, by the way." "My name's Distortion. N-Nice to meet you." "Yeah, you too." She replied before flying up onto one of the not-as-burned rooftops. "Okay, well, everything's dark. About as expected. Wait, I think I see... something." It was a single window with light still streaming from inside in an otherwise-dim apartment. "Guys, I think I found it."
(alright man have fun =D dw about the rp it's at a pretty chill pace rn)

"The guardians must of disappeared.." Silver's mother says.

Violet decides to pick up the pace and fly. She sees a few people talking, and floats down. "I um... heard a noise here... it was kinda loud... but do you guys need help?" Violet asks in her usual, quiet tone.

Jess glances sideways at Distortion. "Didn't I literally just tell you not to start a fire, buddy?" She watches Mallory fly up, then raises her eyebrows. "Oh, really? Already found it? Damn, I'd give up my car for wings. Where's it at?" She also glances back at Violet and grins, shaking her head. "Nope. We've got the fire out and my clothes are safe. We're all good."

"The Guardians?" Augustus echoed. "My mom always warned me something like this would happen. I always thought she was crazy, but I guess... she was right." He felt a sudden pang as his thoughts drifted towards his mother. Was she alright? Why hadn't she come home? "Whatever."
"I-It wasn't my fault, I swear!" Distorton stammered, but as he did, his hands sparked a bit. "I mean, most of it probably wasn't. The protestors had already had a firing going when I got there."
Mallory glided back down, nodding. "It's a few blocks north of here. The apartments by the library, I think."
(okay should we just unite all these groups lol)

"Calm down," chuckles Jess, shaking her head. "It's cool, no harm done. The city's kinda dying anyways, and my clothes are fine, so, yeah. No harm done." She looks back up at Mallory. "Only a few blocks? Cool, let's go." She points at both Distortion and Violet. "You two, come, just in case there are already rogues and we're gonna get attacked." She seemed remarkably at ease.

"You're handling this surprisingly well." Distortion said quietly, stunned at the woman's ability to remain calm in such a situation. "I mean, this could be the end ofthe city as we know it." "Someone still has power, so we should find them." Mallory pointed out as she started to walk.

"So what? It's not death, it's just a new way of living." Jess pauses. "I mean, I guess it's gonna be death for the people who die, but like... philosophy. Stick with me here, kid." She follows Mallory, picking up her pace a little bit. Guy was standing outside the apartment building, staring up at the light, ears pointing down. He had been knocking on the door since he'd found the building. He didn't want to break in. That would be rude.

"Me?" Violet asks in a very quiet tone. She followed Jess, though, as she trusted the lady's leadership.

"Do you think anyone's died yet?" Distortion asked, suddenly concerned. "I mean, with the power out, there could be... accidents. A-And just thinking about the hospitals..." "Try not to think about that." Mallory cut in as they walked.
Topaz stared at the light, perplexed. "That's too bright to be a candle, isn't it? The light, I mean." "Yeah, it's electricity." Amethyst confirmed, equally baffled. "Probably the only one on in the city. How are they doing that...?" "We should break in." "No, we don't break in to peoples' houses." "Hang on, I think I hear voices!" Topaz darted off before Amethyst could object, jumping out right in front of Mallory. "A-ha! I knew it! Are you gonna break in?" Mallory jumped back, but relaxed when she realized it was just a kid. Had Hazel missed one? "Oh, uh, hi. We weren't going to break in... or anything..." "Aren't you a bit young to be wandering around alone?" Distortion asked. Topaz shrugged. "Well, it's not a normal night, is it? Besides, I'm not alone." Amethyst stepped out after her, relieved to see her cousin unharmed. She really needed to stop running after strangers.

"Answering your question before... well... there was a big riot down in town square... and there was fire, and weapons, and it was just horrible..." Violet quietly tells Distortion. "I'm Violet, by the way."

"Someone's definitely died already. Dunno who it is, but someone's definitely dead." Jess stated this like it was a fact. She puts her hands into her pocket and watches the exchange with Topaz without interjecting. Guy pokes his head out after them. "H- hey," he stammers, grinning nervously and too widely for his face, "Does anyone know who lives here? Like, call them or something, or, um, have a key..." "Let's break the door down," suggests Jess loudly. "No! That's illegal!" "BREAK DOWN THE DOOR. BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!"

"Yeah, that's one word for it." Augustus muttered, sighing. "It's just a mess. There've been fires and everything..."
"Horrible, yeah." Distortion agreed grimly. Topaz studied the door, nodding to herself. "I think I could just, like, kick it in." "Topaz, you're, like, eleven." Amethyst pointed out. "What, and you could do a better job than me?" Amethyst stepped in front of the door, frowning. "I mean... I guess I could try?" "Go ahead, then." "I don't even know what it's made of, but it looks expensive as hell." Distortion raised his hand sheepishly. "I, uh, could melt it or something..." "Have any of you tried to knock?" Mallory asked suddenly. "... You could be onto something there." Amethyst deadpanned, instead deciding to knock on the door. From inside the building, came a voice. "Hang on, I'll be right down... Just let me, um..." it trailed off, and the sound of footsteps could be heard.

"There's definitely someone there..." Violet mutters, and looks to the ground.
