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.))

Sure.

[hyanaimne]

Mm.

[this alcohol won't last long huh]

[untempered]

[that depends. did they ONLY have three bottles?]

[hyanaimne]

[more like four]

[untempered]

[pauses in the boozing, peering at what's left in his bottle]

Ah, yes... there it is. I can feel it now.

[hyanaimne]

. . . that took longer than I thought it would.

[untempered]

Or... I just didn't say. Until now.

[hyanaimne]

. . . oh, is that it.

[untempered]

Yes. Yes that is it.

[hyanaimne]

[. . . g-giggles]

[untempered]

[shoves her arm]

[hyanaimne]

[giggles more and shoves back]

[untempered]

So... so. [points at her] Your marriage.

[hyanaimne]

Marriage-to-be. Sort of.

[untempered]

Are you worried?

[hyanaimne]

[. . . takes a drink, murmuring into the bottle]

I am always worried. Moreso now that Maias is here.

[untempered]

Well, it's not as though he's invited.

[hyanaimne]

Of course not. He is not allowed anywhere near it . . . wherever we will have it.

[untempered]

I can keep him away. If I'm around when you have it.

I mean, if I am invited.

[hyanaimne]

. . . why would you not be invited?

[untempered]

Ah. I don't know? I thought it best to not... not assume about these things.

[hyanaimne]

[frowns!!]

No, you have to be there. You are my . . . [pauses for a moment to think] You are a very, very good friend and you have to be there.

[untempered]

Well of course I'd love to... and I already said you can come to mine... thank you.

[:x drinks]

[hyanaimne]

You're welcome. And do not forget. Because I will be at yours.

[untempered]

[nods, serious]

I'll remember.
