ROUND

No. NO THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL. SEE HOW REAL IT FEELS. SEE HOW YOU WEEP. EMBRACE THE PAIN. WEEP. LAUGH. SCREAM.

And then abruptly they vanish. The illusions of friends and family, popping like bubbles that have been burst.

BUT IF THIS BORES YOU THEN ACT TWO AWAITS!

Tendrils of colour break away from the main mass, coming down to each person here. But instead of attacking they aim to push, or wrap themselves around limbs and pull. They can be destroyed, there are more. They don't go far, just to where people can be seen, the many many citizens moving towards the evacuation point. A group moving across a semi-stable platform.

IF I COULD. I WOULD SAVE THEM. MY DIAGAD. WOULD YOU? COULD YOU? WILL YOU HELP?

Shadows begin to crowd in, shapes in the sky. The shadows from memory- though those who have seen them before will realise these are illusions. They do not feel the same, though it will be difficult to pinpoint how exactly. Circling the people on the platform.

ARE YOU HEROES? OR ARE YOU HYPOCRITES?

The first blast doesn't hit any of the civilians, instead one of the still standing buildings, which begins to crumble. The people scream.
