[NOTE: This post takes place after dark.]

My GOD, does anyone know what the heck this is about?

[raises her comm so the camera can catch a portion of what appears to be a giant lightning unicorn. Yes, a GIANT LIGHTNING UNICORN. With six legs. Hovering in the sky. Like giant lightning six-legged unicorns do.]

It... it hasn't done anything much yet but I'm pretty sure that's real electricity there. Which is not my...

[pauses, looking away from the camera] Sir, stop taking a picture of that with your little phone-camera whatchathing and get outta here! No, that wasn't what I was doing, go on! GO!

I... I think I'm going to try and get people away from here, as I doubt this is a new tourist attraction. [and she's well aware she's a walking lightning rod]

((This is the beginning of The True Lightning Rune Plot. trueltning_fury will be posting in a little bit and there will be power outages and things and eventual Electric Unicorn fighting (see link). Again, this post is after dark. In the meantime, you can respond to Jaime, though she'll be a little busy, or talk amongst yourselves))

Are you going to be okay? Is anyone hurt?

[iamjaimesommers.livejournal.com]

No one's hurt--and I'll get out of here as soon as I can. I gotta go, I'll talk to you soon!

That's so much worse than a real horse.

[louder, into comm] Hey! You! Person whose name I don't know! You should run too!

"Horses aren't scary, Parker. It's all in your head, Parker." Yeah, right.

[iamjaimesommers.livejournal.com]

It's Jaime! Oh, don't worry, as soon as I can I will run as fast as these little legs can take me!

There is a six-legged horse in Norse mythology, but I don't recall it being a unicorn. Will research now.

I met an Aphrodite yesterday. Are there people claiming other pantheons here?

[gardenerthief.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was wrong. It's eight-legged and definitely not a unicorn. Sorry!

Getting people out of there sounds wise, as does getting out of there yourself, unless you can do something against electricity.

I don't remember this from my textbooks either!
