purple haze all in my brain

[supraliminally]

Who: errybody
When: Sunset, day 108
Where: Building D, 4th floor
What: Hashing shit out

 [Maybe you heard about it through the grapevine today, or maybe you saw one of the many fliers lying around, reading:

Open Forum
This evening at Sunset
Auditorium on the 4th floor

Topics of discussion will include:
1. Should we move
2. If so, when and where
3. The lizagons, friend and foe
(in particular, under what terms
do we intend to live together, if
we are going to do so)
4. General future goals

Air your concerns and grievances here
Gods are invited, but NO WHINING ALLOWED
 

Maybe, if you aren't normally the sort to come to meetings, your apartment has been mysteriously broken into and an item taken, with only a ransom note left behind: "If you want to see it again, come to the auditorium on the fourth floor at sunset."

Either way, when you arrive, there will be a pile of stolen goods on the stage, quite unharmed. There will also be a table with various foodstuffs and drinks. The food is quite tasty, and so is the tea. The booze isn't bad either. It must have come from someone with a pretty impressive stash.

On a completely unrelated note, there is one (1) Yakumo Yukari sitting in the front row. She is the picture of innocence, and there is absolutely no way she stole your shit. ]

[ The following text ends up written in charcoal on the back wall of the auditorium by the time most people come in. And if you are one Toph Bei Fong, there may be a Chrys waiting beside it to read it out to you. ]

Info Summary

- "Matriarch" - colossal bird-like ancient, attracts predator swarms, claims jungle for territory - ETA 1-2 weeks
- Jungle = habitat for largest predators, other threats, danger exposure constant + severe compared to other locations

- Building flight-capable by mechanical means - fuel = plantlife (stockpiling req.)
- Currently known potential settlement areas:
* islands
* mountains
* desert

- Permanent portal setup possible: building <--> second building ruins (weekly sacrifice req.)

Options:

- Move building to new location (which?)
- Stay and protect current location (combat/negotiate?/______)

Vetoing ocean islands.

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...well ok but ]

Is there a reason why?

Re: THE MOVE

[cloakanddaikon]

Much as I can appreciate your feelings, islands of sufficient size have several distinct advantages over a continental mainland.

Re: THE MOVE

[melonlord]

Let's move this rockpile to the mountains! Get stone under our feet again, and have enough stone and metal to shore up and expand this place!

Re: THE MOVE

[dasschlechtende]

Hell yeah, additional vote for mountains!

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

[ yes having a crapload of solid stone would be excellent with our current manpower 8|a... ]

They're sound reasons. Though one problem the mountains might have could be a lack of food and wood, depending on the type involved.

Re: THE MOVE

[nolongerslate]

[considering this]

It would be nice if we could get some idea about each place before we decide to stay or go. Beyond 'it's the mountains' or 'its the ocean'.

That Coren fellow has birds who can fly far afield, and he can project illusions as well. Though if there are objections to the use of a god, there ought to be some of us who would serve well enough as scouts.

[supraliminally]

[Yukari calls out from the front row.]

The huntress, Veseiy, mentioned something about plains as well. A good hunting ground, in her opinion.

[dasschlechtende]

Plains are too open. Maybe if there was a forest near...

[country-world person who's mostly had his lands in plains]

[devotedtothecore]

[ but why are you down there and why am I up here

adding notes to the board anyway... ]

Re: THE MOVE

[sharksong]

Shouldn't we do some investigation of our own on this instead of blindly believing what those idiots are telling us? I don't want to go anywhere with nothing but their word guiding us.

Re: THE MOVE

[dasschlechtende]

Don't they have a bunch of people in nature watched by that one weird plantlike creature god thing? I know a couple people who went out with him...

Re: THE MOVE

[supraliminally]

[You came~

Yukari recognizes you from the meeting with Coren. Actually getting out of her lazy seat to talk to you look at that!!!1!]

We should investigate, I agree. But regardless of whether the danger is exaggerated, I think we ought to move from this place.

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

[ nods. ]

There's no denying that. But for that reason we'll need people to act as well.

Re: THE MOVE

[nometal_alchemist]

*reading over the whole list*

The best option would probably be the one that most balances our safety with the availability of natural resources.

Re: THE MOVE

[dasschlechtende]

Another vote for mountain valley!

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

[ nods. ]

We'll need more than a conceptual idea of the geography to be sure of those two aspects. A fast-moving scouting group or groups would be ideal.

Re: THE MOVE

[cloakanddaikon]

Certain of our residents are native to open waters, and require such an environment to remain healthy. Access to an inland sea or ocean waters would be ideal.

Relocating to a desert would likely kill them.

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...looking up at the wall of notes... ]

...

If it were by an ocean?

Re: THE MOVE

[luxuresombre]

Desert sounds a little inhospitable.

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

...I saw a little of it. It's not completely barren, but short of an oasis site, it would be the other end of the spectrum from this place.

Re: THE MOVE

[over_clocked]

If we're making dragon bros along the way anywhere we live is going to need an ecosystem with enough prey to support a bunch of a fucking dragons. And if they're cold blooded that makes anyplace with regular subzero temperatures pretty much a no.

Voting we look for something with herds or flocks or what-the-fuck ever of big game.

Re: THE MOVE

[devotedtothecore]

[ nods. ]

The plains Yukari mentioned seem a likely area for those... though it's possible the other areas may offer something of the same.
