What: New faces and new cracks in the sky
When: August 2022 4th Wall- Weekend
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: If needed

[As Friday night rolls into Saturday, the repercussions of this Earth rejoining the multiverse are starting to become more clear. Missing persons reports are flooding the airwaves, the OurPowers metahuman-only social media network included. In Excelsior, it seems the newly-sentient tech devices are adding to the noise. News coming from Sunset Falls is terse-- there is also a Strong Magical Effect of some sort active in addition to the disappearances. Not even Little Love is immune; thankfully, the residents report no additional hazards.

But here in Central City, the citizens only grow more tense with each resident taken. A powderkeg with a long fuse that has just been lit. The sky is starting to crack, and the feelings of homesickness and fear are starting to spread.

It’s not the warmest welcome a visitor could receive, but the meta population has been put on alert for new arrivals, searching from rooftop to water’s edge. Central’s a VERY big city, but hopefully some generous souls can point you to the swanky Diadem Hotel in the end.

Resident metas, you might want to check in on your nearest and dearest before heading out. Some of you might be deploying to Sunset Falls or Excelsior soon, or making plans to get to Little Love before Central gets… too rough. Some of you might be adventuring Elsewhere very shortly. But maybe there is time to help out a fresh face, extricate them from a confrontation, give them the lowdown about this alternate Earth? After all, you were once new yourself.]

[The teenager tugs Beck along, with the intent on getting his weird frenemy out of harm's way. Maybe together they can figure out what is going on here.

Unsurprisingly something being thrown is a milkshake. The cup all but explodes upon impact. Peter squeaks indignantly, ears pinning back as the cold liquid pours down his back. He whips around, his free hand pawing at the back of his hoodie.]

Oh, c'mon! For real!? We're leaving! Like right now!

[This is Beck being pulled even harder to just get away from this mess.]

[Quentin doesn't protest being dragged along, but he does give the person who threw the milkshake a very dark look. Yes, the eyes are bulging a little. He will bite anyone who's hands get too close to his face at the moment.]

Hey, quit it! You try any other shit, and-

[He hasn't planned this far. His inability to lie is really biting him in the ass right now.]

And I'll fucking break you. Don't even fucking think about it! Let's scram, this place isn't even worth our time, kid-

[And now time to absolutely book it, because Quentin may have just dug this hole a little deeper. Sorry, Peter.]

We're- scary! Leave us alone or- else! [His attempt at a threat is not great.

This is a 4'10 rat dragging a man much taller than him away from a crowd best he can. Peter starts hurrying a bit more.

Yeah, they are definitely running now away from the group. Peter's need to live outweighs dignity.]
