I've got a bad feeling about this

[srwu_npc]

Anyone living in or visiting Fort Alhambra experiences a peculiar sensation. For some reason the base's atmosphere turned towards oppressive, like an ominous presence was watching your every step. There is no clear reason why or how it is, but everyone feels it and can be put on edge.

To make matters worse, this is not a fleeting sensation. It will hold for the next few days.

(Technically a mingle post but no responses are necessary.)

[Volya is anxiously looking over his shoulder every now and again. Something about the day was really setting him on edge and he had no idea what was causing it. As such when he finally ends up bumping into someone during his worried wanderings he lets out a panicked yell and flails wildly as he falls on his rear.]

Ah!

[Setsuko jumps at this reaction, almost losing balance herself.]

Volya, it's nothing. It's just... me.

[mistaken_for_monster]

S- Setsuko...

[Volya takes a deep breath, trying to keep himself from hyperventilating and is just barely successful.]

Sorry... I just... Something's really wrong... I don't know what it is...

[star_of_sad]

No, nothing is wrong. Nothing happened so...

[She pauses.]

You feel this too, right? It's like black clouds are gathering...

[And inside the room Kagura has been holed in for the last month, not wanting anyone to see her, she stands upright. The hyper-empathic Mistletoe can definitely feel it - it's like a full body headache to something like her, and believe me, Kagura knows about headaches. But what exactly can she do? She's useless right now.

So all she can do is send a message of warning with her computer to command. Twenty minutes of effort and flying back and forth on the keyboard later, Commander Antov will receive the following message]

"Unusual background disturbance Alhambra. Something happens soon. Possible dimensional origin. Recommend maximum combat readiness, reduction nonessential personnel.

Major Kagura"

[After finishing, Kagura rolls on the table, exhausted, but refusing to give up. There has to be more she can do.]

"What the hell..."

A wandering technician suddenly back her way into your room, eyes flicking left and right. "What. The Hell." Dido declares, goose-bumps standing out on her skin.

[The door is locked, so barging in could be difficult. However, backing up against the door definitely makes enough of a thump for the exhausted Mistletoe, already feeling paranoid, to jolt up and get out of her room through her tiny secret vent (being that she can't actually open the door as such) to check, half expecting to find some sort of horrible monster.

She sees Dido instead. This is not as completely positive a trade in her mind as you might expect.

Still, she comes out of her secret vent fully, and floats near the panicked woman, with a grumpy "what are you doing" face]

[The first day sees Sarah spend hours outside, waiting for a potential attack. The second sees her board and lock up the bar, and tell the cook to take some vacation. By the third day, she has taken to sitting outside, occasionally checking the sky with a pair of binoculars-and smoking excessively. A small pile of cigarette butts has built up around her feet.]

[It's late in the middle of the night. The gloom and dread hanging over the place mean even with all quiet, things are tense. And then-]

A-aaaaaaaah!

[Selena screams out, bolting upright in her bed and clutching at the blankets. This dread feeling hasn't been doing her any good.]
