TOTAL ECLIPSO THE HEART [modplot/log]
Who| Everyone who signed up
What| "Total Eclipso The Heart"
Where| Apokolips
When| The same time as "The Ninth Gate" and "The Gone-Away World"
Warnings/Notes| cw: suicide, due to the Catastrophists MO
Apokolips was intimidating enough when it was bleak and dead but now it's even more of a living nightmare. As Eclipso, Catastrophists, and monsters menace the defense garrison, screams cut through the air the way they used to back when Apokolips' old ruler was alive.
Catastrophists toss themselves into the firepits in droves and smoke starts to rise from them. Somehow their sacrificial bloodshed seems to be doing something to the core of the planet. It groans and strains and the ground shakes as machinery under the surface starts to slowly get stoked back to life.
Some of the Catastrophists even rise into the air while wearing winged uniforms and clash with garrison members capable of flight - Apokolips' old parademon troops, reborn in a new form.
This world is a death engine, and if they don't manage to stop it it from restarting, Chronoblivion's forces will have an entire world to make war from.

It's the feeling behind it. His involvement seems to make the Abstract Children agitated and restless again, some stirring from their half-slumber. It could be the sentiment behind it, grudging and only just technical. Rico notes this with some slight mental surprise, and starts humming harder. It doesn't help.
Drokk. What is it that Rider is doing that Rico isn't?
There's something undefinable in Rider's voice, in his expression, something Rico can't quite pin down. That must be it. The secret behind how he's doing it. But what is it? He rakes his mind as he quietly puzzles at it, staring at Rider with an intent focus, but suddenly something just clicks, shifts mental gears, and an entire world opens up for him. He gets it and it's right there like a diamond in a safe, bright and shining in his mind's eye, and he darts forward and snatches at it with eager hands.
And suddenly, whatever the hell Rider is feeling, Rico's feeling it too. There's his own ache in his chest (except it's not his - not really) that makes him feel horribly uncomfortable and strangely jealous, the hairs on the back of his neck prickling with unease. The ghost of the love that Rider's feeling settles badly in the hollow of his throat, but the melody manages to come out of him with genuine emotion even as his thoughts are jumbled and alarmed and confused.
As the lullaby progresses, some of the Abstract Children settle, and lie still.
They don't get back up.
