thusia | EVENT: LEVEL 2

Who: Interested parties
When: Day 66, morning and onward
Where: 4th Level moving to 2nd Level
What: TIME FOR AN ADVENTURE!!

[So, on the bulletin board near the 4th Level fountain, a posting was made last night during the evacuation of the 3rd Level. Those who have been preparing or are interested in helping were asked to gather at the fountain in the morning to get ready to EXPLORE.

So here you are, getting ready.

For those who have been preparing, perhaps you have done your allotted uncomfortable reflecting (or challenging others) for Ur'ghaste, in order to get gills plus one other minor augmentation, or else one major augmentation that might help you move in water. Kida, at least, has done a bunch of crossdressing in Ur'ghaste's name to hand out some more gills to people (Kiritsugu may have also hugged someone so you could get gills, so don't be shy about claiming one...). These people have unlimited time in the water, though they won't be able to speak to anyone else underwater.
Ur'ghaste's aide was offered morning of 64.

For those only recently aware, Tare is offering a way to get a breather mouthpiece with attached mask, by playing a little card passing game. You just need to pass a card back and forth using only the mouth at least four times! The card can be passed back and forth between two people, but it must remain with each person for a period of 6 seconds or so before getting passed again. The breather will last for an hour and a half, though once it is put on, it will run until the air is gone. The mouth piece also prevents talking.
Those who can't or don't want to explore can totally help out by making kissy faces to get people masks...

For those really jumping in last minute, Dellen is handing out clip-on glass earrings that will give people a headbubble with air enough for 45 minutes of swimming before you have to find somewhere to surface. On the plus side you're able to talk to the others.

((ooc: ~~SO, get yourselves ready! The first half of actual exploration will begin in an hourish. For now,~~ mingle! Discuss the map! TAG IN AT YOUR LEISURE. Start here if you'd like me to pick your route or tell me ooc which route (1 or 2) you'd like to work on. While there will certainly be danger, thanks to some IC events, this will likely not be a combat-heavy event. I shall be on IRC in #Level2 and also in this plurk if there are questions.

Also remember, second half of exploration will start tomorrow around 3pm US/Central.))

[Work on Tare's sacrifice here.

Or filter in with your preparations.]

[Holding one of those cards]

What a weird game.

[ oh I guess you're going that route... ]

It's well in her domain.

I haven't really talked to them yet.

...I see.

All things considered, this may be one of the easier tasks.

I guess I don't really have room to be picky.

...

[ do you.

need someone to do this with. ]

[Yes.

In this post there's you and two kids. Looking between Chrys, Toph and Dick. Ummmm no I am not playing this game with kids.]

[ .......valid point. ]

[ glances back at the kids. looks at you. INTERNAL SIGH ]

Shall we, then.

Let's get this over with and never speak of it again. [P...PLACES THE PAPER AGAINST HIS MOUTH]

[ ...oh have you never done something like this before

moves into your base and. puts his good hand behind your head, though there's still like a foot of space between faces ]

Count to five. On three, remove your hand. On five, release the card entirely.

[I have not and this is super awkward, you are so close. Right. Counting, okay, nods.]

[ don't think too hard don't think too hard don't think too hard. There's a look in his eyes that says I will kill you if you think too hard either. ]

One. Two.
