Who: you
When: Day 134, afternoon
Where: out in the snow
What:

[The snow continues to fall around the headquarters though it has turned into a gentle thick cover. Outside, a strange noise can be heard on the winds, and if you're at a window or outside, you'll eventually begin to see large clusters of jellyfish-like creatures floating and bobbing through the falling snow in a slow rising and falling movement.

If you go out to get a quick look at them, be warned though, like jellyfish, these creatures trail stinging tendrils beneath them.]

Who: Everyone
When: Day 118, morning
Where: On a lovely grassy hill
What: MINGLE, finally landed

[Despite the loud wake up call and some uneven tilting of the HQ to maneuver out of the mountains, in the end it is landed without incident on a large hill at the fork of a large rushing river, overlooking a vast expanse of grassy plains.]



[The sun is bright and the sky is clear. The breeze is warmer here than the chilly winds up in the mountains and it feels like spring is in the air. Off in the distance, their furry backs and long curved horns visible above the extremely tall grasses, one can make out herds of elephant-sized creatures grazing slowly in the fields. Beyond them, just at the edge of vision, seems to be the sparkling waters of a lake.]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 117, let's say "All Day" through to "Evening"
Where: Misty mountains
What: mingle

[So since this morning the HQ has been buried in mist and fog. There's the sense that the HQ has been slowly rising and falling in elevation, much more slowly than it had been proceeding until now. The power consumed by flying also seems to have increased as the HQ is forced to compensate for wind and drag and maintaining equilibrium while traveling over extreme slopes and other various factors of trying to fly directly over a mountain range.

Chill winds whistle through the hallways now, funneling through the HQ, down the stairwells, finally escaping out of the unsealed parts of the hangar on Level 2 and the great, gaping doorway on Level 1 (careful when walking in those areas or you might get dragged out). The lizagons have either retreated to the more secure nests closer to the covered parts of the dome or have moved to the first Level and scratched out the doorways of the abandoned rooms to settle in. In the mist outside one can sometimes see shapes passing by the windows: the tree-covered faces of a mountainside, or occasionally faster shapes... Sounds call out in the gloom, but the HQ's hulking size and constant motion seems to be enough to deter anything that might try to investigate for the time being.

Toward sunset, as the HQ seems to peak in one of the longer ascents of the day, the mist slowly begins to thin, and one can make out the shadows of another uneven stretch of mountains spreading out before the HQ, the setting sun painting them blue and purple as it starts to dip below the horizon.]


((ooc: We're looking to set the HQ down sometime between Thursday (tomorrow) or Friday night. There are some limited options, but the goal is to get to a place where people can rest a while.))

Mountains

Who: Anyone
When: Day 116, Morning (and on)
Where: Still drifting northward over the forests
What: Mountains approach

[As you come and go throughout the HQ today (maybe to the portal room by the baths to poke out at Rainforest Base or hanging out by the windows near the shrines) you'll notice that in the approaching distance, waves of fog and mist seem to rise up like a wall of gray clouds and spill over the jungles below, as if all the moisture that drifts up out of the rainforests is being dammed, rolling back to blanket the forest as a result.

If one stares long enough, waiting for the gray mist to part, one can catch glimpses of mountains rising up through the clouds, indistinct save for how they're also green like the jungle trees. It's hard to tell for sure with how obscured the view is, but by nightfall the HQ is likely to have reached those mountains...]
