Echo Incursion 01 - Jurassic Gateway (August 10th, 2016)

[raisednpcs]

It's a particularly hot day in the Gateway City zoo. What else could you expect? It's not like it's not to be expected, it is the middle of August, after all. But there's plenty of things to see here at the zoo, and the visitors' center is air conditioned well enough.

Just a normal summer day in a typical summer vacation spot. Right?

Well, that's when things change. Those in the visitor's center would find the building changing around them. There's suddenly a dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the place, with the banner "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" hanging from the ceiling.

That's not all. The animal enclosures are now different. What used to be a pen for the african elephants now has very large, very long necked reptiles in it. A gigantic, meat-eating dinosaur just tromped its way out of the lion habitat it's too much too large for, and unfortunately for the people around it, its vision is based on movement. The monkey house? Well, those are velociraptors breaking out of it. The aviary? Now filled with particular aggressive flying pterosaurs.

These are just some of the creatures making their sudden emergence, and it's not long until they spill out of the zoo and into the city proper. Dinosaurs are now walking the streets of Gateway City.

Yes, indeed. Just a normal summer day.

Marina can't fix her hair. There is no hope. Her hair is now a big sloppy mess, and she staggers away, laughing, yet also really grossed out. "Okay, wow, jeez, I get it, you appreciate the help!"

Stepping back, trying to ignore the slicked-over mess, she puts her hands on her hips. "Maybe not get licked by all the others, yeah?"

Rakka has much of the same reaction, even if her hair is short enough, and messy enough, that it doesn't matter if she gets a gallon of drool on it. Oh well, at least they matched now. "He really does!" She frowns. "O-or she. It might be a girl."

Just going to continue to wipe that drool off her forehead. It's mixed success here. "Yeah... We should try not to do that."

Lucky girl, not having Umi Ryuuzaki's giant blue hair to make a big mess out of. Marina pats the big dinosaur on the leg anyways, although she's sure to avoid the whole face portion of it. "Or girl. Maybe Jas would have a guess."

"Now, let's get a move on."

Poor Marina's hair, they knew it well.

"We'll ask later. Let's make sure there's no more of these dinos suffering like this!"

There's that little look of determination that Rakka sometimes has. It's as adorable as it was a flash of true heroism shining through. It's time to be a hero again!
