Plans to Drain the Second Floor

[cloakanddaikon]

Yukari has already done a very admirable job of both organization and direction in regards to the issue of the water in the floors below us.

I would recommend all interested and unable to speak with her directly review the documents she has put on display between the kitchen and the shrines on the floor below.

Re: Plans to Drain the Second Floor

[panumbra]

[at some point during the day - mysteriously not when anyone was around to see - someone has posted an imperfect (but usable) map of the second floor, with some weak spots marked for people to seal up.]

[rabukidastrophes]

[READING BULLETIN BOARD]

You know, this is all great, and I'm all for draining the second floor, but we still need a way to actually get people down there.

[cloakanddaikon]

[You . . . certainly do ping in a very odd way.]

If by 'down there' you mean under the water, Ur'ghaste has offered support in the form of granting gills and fins to those going beneath the surface.

[rabukidastrophes]

[You are actually one of the few people here I don't somehow already know and that is pretty grate]

I was there, but did anyone take er... her? Him? up on it?

[sinkingship]

There has to be some way.

S'vx

[cloakanddaikon]

As most are undoubtedly aware, three days ago there was an influx of snakes following a likewise troublesome influx of small frogs.

(If anyone should know of what prompted the frogs, and previous to that, the rush of flying monkeys, such information would be useful. It's starting to be a reoccuring pattern.)

His initial objectives appeared to be the subservience or painful death of those here; he seemed more intent on teaching 'lessons' than causing damage. Warnings from the god we know of support that he is best dealt with cautiously, if at all.

The current abundance of snake meat in the kitchen is due to efforts in making his time here less comfortable; as he is apparently tied to the rain causing us difficulty, support in that area is appreciated. Those not adept at hunting can see Kalidas for alternate arrangements.

Questions and further information in this area is appreciated.

Re: S'vx

[hyanaimne]

[added underneath, in surprisingly neat flowing script:]

In regards to the snakes themselves: the smaller snakes are not poisonous; however the snake S'vx carries with him is, and rather painfully so. Attacking any of snakes in his presence is not advised.

The 5th Floor

[cloakanddaikon]

According to Dathusropi by way of Yukari, the overgrown plant at the apex of the old dome is threatening to cause structural damage to the building as a whole. Some plans on dealing with it are outlined in Yukari's documents on the third floor.

Current options include ice and fire magics, and Slick has suggested turning nature on itself, though I have not seen the vines he mentions within these walls for some time now.

Regardless, should any have time and ability to spare, it may be best if clearing the fifth floor was prioritized. Toph has already raised the stonework around the stairway, and it has some rudimentary cover, but it would be best if we could restore a proper roof.

Re: The 5th Floor

[sinkingship]

[there's a note left, a little later]

What kind of vine are we looking for? We can sweep the area.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

[r-rubbing his head]

. . .

Aella's a butcher. . .?

[cloakanddaikon]

She would like to be, yes.

Honestly, I can think of few people as qualified.

[larcenous]

... Mom! You're up!

[trotting over quickly]

Re: The 5th Floor

[devotedtothecore]

[ --you're finally up??? ]

Apollo? You...

[ heading for :| ]

[keymash]

[ just reading the announcements quietly ]

[cloakanddaikon]

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask. Additions, too, are appreciated.

[sinkingship]

[appearance notes]

It's a bit scary, isn't it?

Rising Waters

[devotedtothecore]

The water level outside the building will soon reach the height of the third floor itself. Measures to prevent flooding from the outside are another paramount issue; it may be necessary to seal off the third floor doors until such a time as the water recedes, or raise barriers against it just inside the doors, which should buy more time.

[reading the announcements with a mixture of concern and interest]




[also he has one hell of a hickey]

[sinkingship]

[glances over—]

[confirmed_bachelor]

[at the announcements a little later, frowning over them. and carrying a case of stuff under one arm. then he adds the following:

"MEDICAL CLINIC OPENING SOON see 4th floor or Doctors John Watson for assistance and/or offering similar talents"]

[sinkingship]

[morphing up beside him]

"Doctors." I like that.

[knockin']

[slayerofgiants]

[Wander is more concerned about the "death" notice, more than anything]

D-death can be permanent...?

[cloakanddaikon]

Yes. And in several cases now, it has been.

A portion of the fifth floor now holds the graves of some of those attacked by her familiars.
