Frost: Oh, man, did you see the concert at the Tabernacle last night? I can’t believe that Verde Ronin put actual bands and shit in.
ATLATL: They were going for realism, but damn, I’ve been surprised every time I see something new.
Kite: Actually, I’ve heard that most of those bands are AI driven, like the rest of the NPCs.
Vaporware: I’m actually more impressed by that than I am the rest of it. The in-game groups are actually pretty damn good.
ATLPhoenix: Most of the bands, Kite?
Kite: I have it on good authority that the group Haven of Hysteria is a group of five of the programmers that started the band to blow off steam.
GA_Bulldog: Damn, I saw those gals the other week. They kick ass.
Thadulator: Fuck, fuckity fuck fuck! Someone tell me what the hell is going on at the Braves stadium!
Gedea: What do you mean, Thad?
Thadulator: I was just taking a piss, when suddenly vines start popping up everywhere, trying to stab people, and everyone started screaming.
BloodRaven: Long story very short, magic powered terrorists unleashing an eco-zombie apocalypse.
Thadulator: Seriously?
BloodRaven: Seriously. Anyone who got stabbed by vines, crush their heads before they reanimate. Survivors are gathering in the food courts with whatever supers we can get to organize defense.
Thadulator: I’m on my way. No way in hell am I going solo mode for this. I suck at those Biohazard games.
BloodRaven: If we can keep them out of the food court, TechSupport is coming to try and pull people out.
TechSupport: As soon as Succulent and her companions shut down the source of the interference, I’m there.

MisfitMaiden: Fortunately, these things burn quite nicely. But I’m not sure how long we can keep this up.
Burninatrix: No luck on burning through from the outside to help. The vines grow back too fast, and they stab anyone who approaches the walls.
Frost: Shit, if those things leave the stadium…
Burninatrix: I’ve managed to burn off several of them, but when they don’t have people to focus on inside the stadium, they’ll probably start moving out.
ThunderCaller: I’ve got the local heroes coming in to try and set a perimeter.
BlessYourHeart: I’ve contacted several of the local villains as well. TC, would you and the APD be fine with some less-than-reputable types coming to help hold the line?
ThunderCaller: We did it in the Battle for Atlanta, don’t see why we wouldn’t now. We need to keep this contained or the city is lost.
BlessYourHeart: Good, then the Vine City Wreckers will be there shortly to help set up temporary barricades in the parking lot.
ThunderCaller: I’ll let the APD know to expect them. Just tell them not to use the APD vehicles for the barricades, will ya?
BlessYourHeart: Fine, fine. There’s plenty of expensive vehicles to play with other than those, so I guess it’ll be fine.
Burninatrix: Don’t put the cars too close to the building. Someone just tried to ram his way through to get to the people inside, and it looks like the vines are… eating the car.
BlessYourHeart: Wait, what?
Burninatrix: Oh, goody. The vines use metal they rip up to give the zombies weapons and armor.
CaptainCool: Well, that is disturbing on many levels.
BloodRaven: While I have a moment between attacks, the people that did this are calling themselves ‘Heal the Earth’. Their thing is that mankind is a plague, blah blah blah. Anyways, they’re trying to use this as the first in a wave of attacks to basically wipe out human life on Earth so the planet can heal.

Bull: So, standard ecoterrorist nutjobbery?
BloodRaven: Pretty much. Succulent is checking on their ritual site, but we haven’t heard back from her yet. Even if they clear it out, I don’t think we’ll have seen the last of them.
Cambrian: Shit. So Atlanta is becoming the supernatural capitol of the South?
Bull: It is just some ecoterrorists. Not that big a deal.
Gedea: They’re just the latest. The mystic and supernatural types have been coming out of the woodwork lately, and I’ve been tracking at least three possible sources of… Lovecraftian nastiness.
BloodRaven: If one of those was Kennesaw Mountain, can confirm, but it is sealed, for now.
Burninatrix: Yeah, big minotaur wanted to take BloodRaven for a ride.
BloodRaven: You know, I think I prefer you in game, where you have those filters on your speech.
MisfitMaiden: Ha!
DragonKhan: Oh fuck, did you guys feel that?
MarkoPolo: The whole city felt that. Something big just went boom.
Gedea: Check the skies, if you can. There’s a big-ass column of flame going straight up, to the east, over near Stone Mountain.
TechSupport: Jamming is down. I’m on my way to start getting the civilians out.
MisfitMaiden: Then that was the ritual site?
Burninatrix: Probably.
MisfitMaiden: Did Succulent and her buddies get out?
TechSupport: Unknown.
BloodRaven: They’re all powerful casters. I’m sure they have a few tricks up their sleeves that they haven’t shown us before. For now, focus on containing the zombies. As soon as Websy gets us out of here, I’ll fly over and search for them.
ATLPhoenix: I’ve got eyes on that funky ass tree that’s growing out of the ballpark. Has anyone tried attacking the tree directly yet?
MisfitMaiden: Yes. It is a tree, so you can burn it, but it is tough enough that you can’t burn it easily. And it will try to attack you back if you’re in range.
ATLATL: What is its range?
MisfitMaiden: Unknown. But at least 200 yards. Rocketman tried to escape, and got tagged by what looked like some kind of seed or acorn. He’s the little tree growing over the outfield wall now.
ATLATL: Shit.
TechSupport: Rescue incoming. We’ll get the civvies out and then worry about the rest.
