Good-End Visits!

[panumbra]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 146, morning
Where: Portals
What: A not-so-long awaited return

[So for those who were curious about that counter that said "6 days" a couple days ago in the portal room next to the level 3 baths, the numbers on it have been jumping around the last couple of days, up and down, as if giving a live update of the haggling that's been going on behind the scenes.

Today the numbers run all the way down to zero suddenly and then is replaced with the following:

"Duration: approx 2-3 days"

With that the portal surface starts to ripple in the way that indicates that it's become permeable, and those who wander by the area may start to get the distinct smell of salty ocean air coming through it. Those on this side who try to push through it will find that although their hand disappears through the shadow layer of the portal, something that feels sort of like saran wrap blocks their hand on the other side, stretching under their weight but not letting them through.

Not so for the other side though, and if people stick around long enough they might get a surprise.]


((ooc: OK. Pre-visit threading if you're so inclined! Otherwise everyone is free to comment to this post (normal residents too, of course)! Good-enders, please indicate you're visiting in your header so people can spot you easily. You will be allowed to visit and post freely for 2-3 IC days, which translates to maybe a little more than a week OOCly.

Questions go here.))

It's good to see you as well . . .

[hesitates . . .

. . .

no fuck it hugging him '^']

[untempered]

[hugging her back]

[hyanaimne]

[it's a tight one. Mutters into his shoulder]

I missed you.

[untempered]

[...rubs her back a bit]

I missed you too. Are you all right?

[hyanaimne]

[pulls back a bit and smiles a little]

Mm, I am fine. Your return is just a . . . pleasant surprise after a few unpleasant ones.

[untempered]

Well, that's no good. How am I supposed to whine about my life when yours is also unpleasant?

[hyanaimne]

[. . . snerks]

We could always take turns.

[untempered]

I'd say I'd be terribly boring before long, because my problems are all about hard labour, and getting Xavier to do it.

[hyanaimne]

My, your life is quite hard, isn't it?

[untempered]

Extremely.

But I can't complain, honestly.

[hyanaimne]

That is good to hear.

[steps back, but takes his hand] Will Xavier be visiting as well?

[untempered]

Well, he came to the cave, but he might be fussing about with something. He should be along eventually.

[hyanaimne]

I hope so, since I have missed him as well.

[untempered]

He'll be glad to hear it. Even if he doesn't act like it.

He's doing a lot better now.

[hyanaimne]

. . . that's good. So it is better for him out there?

[untempered]

It is. There are still people around, but not so many... he isn't overwhelmed, anymore.

[hyanaimne]

Good.

[untempered]

What about you?

[hyanaimne]

. . . one of my husbands just woke up from one of those comas, my ex-lover who I murdered is here, and I am not allowed to kill him yet.

Also I was forced into a maid's outfit. It was rather annoying and far too short for my liking.

[untempered]

...

[untempered]

Do you want to get a drink, Tempest? It sounds like you need one.

[hyanaimne]

[l-laughs, squeezing his hand]

I would love one, dear.

[untempered]

Did you ever find out which of the gods would provide such things?

[hyanaimne]

Not as of yet, but we still have some in our flat.

[untempered]

How much is 'some'.
