Survivalist Plot: The Envy of Eden
Day One
Stacy calls Cedric Diggory, Diana Ladris, Guru Clef, Howard Bassem, Karis Needleteeth, The Master and Maxine Hunkel to the deck.
Planet Designation: Eden
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Sparse levels of flora, no natural fauna
Semi-Sentient Life: None
Sentient Life: Small human colonies created to mine Eden's limited precious elements. As of last Eden 'year', population 300. Settlers do not typically make permanent stays.
Water: 75.6% of the planet's surface.
Climate: Dry and moderate during the day. At nights temperatures drop to below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrequent rains, risks of flash floods.
Landscape: Desert and sedimentary rock mountains. Most water is retrieved by wells or from cargo ships. Sparse vegetation.
Air: Type I (breathable)
Sky: Grey
Warnings: Electrical storms may interfere with omnicomm function.
Mission: Investigate source of distress signal picked up on Stacy's sensors.
For the most part the trip down to the atmosphere goes uneventfully, even if it is a little cramped in the shuttle, but as soon as they get within a few thousand feet of the ground things start to go wrong. Communication with Stacy cuts off; Stacy herself is cut off mid-sentence while warning the crew to use iodine in any tap water they find. The omnicomms go similarly blank. The shuttle lurches through the sky and tilts sideways. One of the engines blows. The automatic seatbelts unlock. A section of the shuttle's roof rips off, letting in thin, hardly-breathable air.
More terrifying still, the superpowered members of this crew may have time to notice that they no longer have their abilities.
About thirty feet above the ground the shuttle tips into a barrel roll, the autopilot fritzing out as it tries to right things, and the crew goes tumbling out and scatters amongst the town moments before the shuttle crashes into a far cliffside.
[OOC: Tag into your designated subthreads! In a little, once we've established what's going on a bit more, while I'll put up a thread for them all to reconvene. I will be NPCing monsters in these threads, so please drop me a line if you want the monsters to do anything specific or if I'm being slow on a tag.]

The monster follows him at a leisurely pace. Like a cat not bothering to kill its prey because there's no chance at escape. Occasionally it makes a hooting sound, like it's calling its brethren, but there's no response.
Finally, once it's gotten tired of watching Cedric drag the bumper around like an awkwardly-shaped sword, it rushes forward at him.

No rescue in time. Death's rapidly approaching. Cedric yelps and leaps onto an old porch, preparing to jump. If he gets it....
He tries bringing the old bumper down hard on his opponent. If he lands on his feet, he'll run the other way. Another abandoned building? What if it was filled with more?
No time to worry.

It shrieks and howls at Cedric, clearly infuriated to be trapped so.
no subject
What's he going to do? He wasn't raised a Muggle. He can't drive a car, build a machine, fix a machine, or do much of anything useful. All he can do is try to find some water...Howard had said a running source, right? Was there any?
Against his better judgment, he peeks into the next house. Bodies everywhere, as before. He listens for monsters, creeping around every corner. It'll probably be a while before he finds anything, especially since he's still in a daze.
It's like he's sleepwalking through a nightmare. Who would want to wake up?
