WHO: Jon is there, but YOU ARE THE HE-ROWS!
WHERE: Temba Shopping Center
WHAT: Cool Big Battle Scene aka Spider Smash Party aka That Action Mingle while Jon gets eaten by spiders. Tag one another, have fun and be awesome!
WHEN: Night #1 of the Spider Invasion Event
WARNINGS: Spiders. Violence. Injuries.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: [[ Given the setup of this log, Jon obviously isn't in any position to interact with anyone. This is for your characters to shine and fight alongside one another. So mingle and have fun and don't worry about actively dragging Jon out of there or taking him to safety. Someone will do it even if it's not played out and he ends up unconscious at the safehouse and will have a prompt for that in the log where he isn't being eaten <3 ]]
A loud, metallic clatter gives Jon away as he stumbles through a graveyard of what may at one point have been clothes racks, now devoid of any fabric to carry and left to rot along with the shelves and changing rooms of the store that used some sort of winged fish-creature for its logo. Cursing under his breath, Jon pushes the metal skeleton that has half fallen onto his shoulder away before casting a quick look over said shoulder towards the half-crumbled entrance of this particular store.
Outside, he can hear them, drawing closer yet again. Countless bodies, eight times as many legs and mandibles eager to bury themselves into his flesh again. Coming to the shopping center has been a mistake. He hasn't known more massive insects have built their nest here and now he's stumbling away from their growing number after narrowly escaping a single one of them surprising him two stories down. The bite in his leg still hurts.
The rubble blocking off most of the entrance gives a shudder and Jon freezes, "Shit shit shitshit shit!"
Hobbling deeper into the store despite the lack of light, Jon pulls out his phone and quickly posts a call for help on the network:
'someone help me please
i'm trapped
shopping center
second floor'
If anyone tries to answer to that text message on the network, they won't be getting a response, for as soon as Jon has sent it, the spiders break through the rubble and in what little light there is all he can see is a stream of large, swift but mostly silent bodies drawing inevitably closer. He turns back around and tries to run again, swearing and pleading to find another door out of the store.
Maybe he's lucky to find that backdoor. Maybe he's lucky to find that small corridor leading him back into the main part of the mall. Maybe he even believes that about as long as it takes for the first, dark, heavy and many-legged body hits him square into his back and throws him to the ground, quickly followed by many more. And while Jon's initial scream is cut off by the impact with the floor, but another is quick to follow when the first sharp leg stabs him into his side, tearing into flesh and skin as easily as the mandible of the next creature digging into his shoulder when he tries to struggle his way out from the growing mass of legs and bodies. He winces audibly when a leg narrowly misses his head and knocks his glasses off, sending them clattering to the floor and out of sight.
What Jon can vaguely see, however, when managing to peer past those creatures pinning him down, is that by now the entire mall is crawling with these beasts...

“That makes sense. I think they might not like light either, several of them have paused when faced with my lightsaber.”
The Jedi demonstrating this as he turned and held up his weapon at another spider that was charging at him. The creature pausing, though it didn’t last long as it attack and was quickly felled as well.

And he holds up one of his hands and summons a bright globe of light into it, much more potent than the Jedi's blade and the effect even more obvious. The spiders around them back away hissing and appear even more reluctant to advance again.
This offers a good chance to take an even better look around, which Loki takes advantage of, leaving it to Obi-Wan to decide whether or not he wishes to take advantage of the spiders current immobility.

Thus Obi-Wan took his lightsaber and threw it. The spinning blade guided by the Force as it slices through several of the spiders one side of them before coming back to them. The same attack being repeated to clear the other side.
"Let's move," he then said as the path was now clear. The Jedi jumping over the bodies of the fallen creatures to advance further into the abandoned mall.
