Who: Anyone
When: Day 135, morning
Where: C7
What: A bar!!

[On Level 4, C7, an already-grungy-looking sign hangs over a door: The In and Out. Another one is tacked to the partially-open door: "Words come out, booze goes in." And a third, smaller: NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

And if you actually look in, it's a bar. A small bar, a kind of dingy and damp bar, but a bar nonetheless, with a few tables, a bar counter, and a few semi-private booths. (Never fully private, tho, Ur'ghaste don't roll that way.)

Ur'ghaste is hanging out behind the bar, cleaning(??? or at least, running a rag inside) a glass. There is also a 'till' up front made of a hunk of rotting wood with one trumpet-like fungus extending from it. A sign explains the concept: if Ur'ghaste isn't in, speak into this trumpet and tell it something -- a story about your world's society, a secret fear or hope you are nursing, a current resentment, an inadequacy -- and as long as it is both true and either personal or societal, your drink will be slid along the bar to you.]

Welcome~.

((OOC: The In and Out is an open setting - feel free to have a post or thread set in it at any time and if you feel like pinging Ur'ghaste into something in it in the future, just link it in hir shrine page.))

Who: Byakuya, KotoShirou, & anyone
When: Day 132, early evening
Where: 2nd level -> outside
What:

[Currently there are a scrawny, unhealthy looking man and a much healthier and more cheerful teenage boy lugging a rather large bucket from the 2nd level out of the building.

This would not be a big deal except that the contents of the bucket smell atrocious. In fact, they smell like rotting plants and equally rotting dead animal parts (which they are). Someone let their stash sit outside the fridge too long and someone else isn't about to help carry it upstairs.]

I swear to god Shirou this had better not become a regular thing.

[Other than that, what are you up to outside this evening?]

wormhearted

Who: A girl who is a miserable little pile of worms and... you!
When: Day 132, let's say afternoon or something
Where: In & around the Shrine Area on the 4th Level!!!
What: come say hello why don't you

[okay, well

in all honesty, she could look a little happier, but there's something about finding yourself in a super strange place after all the super fun stuff she's been through that makes it hard to smile and say anything other than:]

Ah...

[at least she can look around? and wander? ~~and seem just the slightest bit bewildered???~~]

gemuine

Who: Tohsaka . . . Rin
When: Day 129, evening
Where: WHEREVER THAT PORTAL THAT LEADS BACK FROM WILDERNESS OR W/E IS
What: HI . . .

[ Tohsaka Rin walks in a bar

er no

Tohsaka Rin walks out of the wilderness and back into HQ looking a bit peevish but that's kind of normal ]

. . . of all the irritating . . .

oi_theoi

Who: Anyone
When: Day 127, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere
What: What indeed

[Something seems to buzz in the air today... Those who wish the gods hadn't brought them to Thusia (against their will) may feel a stirring around them. Not a physical breeze, but a pressure on their minds. A presence. If they're particularly resentful, they may find that the presence feels quizzical, curious, maybe a little invasive. They may find that something seems to ask them, "If you could change it, how would you rather it had gone?" sounding like their own voice in their head.

Anyone standing near them may experience a brief flash of what their answer would be--the faces of loved ones waiting, the peace of darkness and rest, maybe even some short fantasy about being rescued from death in their own world and finishing what they couldn't before...

It may be unpleasant to linger on such regrets (if that's what they are), and there's the sense that something hovers nearby, watching.]

((ooc: feel free to share subconscious wishes about how things could have gone differently with each other! A little something will be paying attention. ETA: I will pick up headthoughts threads on Wednesday o7))

ofstormandsea

Who: Muirin; anybody. Mingle about.
When: Day 123; forward-dated! All afternoon to evening.
Where: Outside, near the river.
What:

[ It's an uneasonably hot day today, Thusia; while our lizagon friends might be taking part in the warmth from their places on and in the dome, for what the recent weather has been the cloudless sky seems almost like a curse.

Down near the river, it's much better; the water itself is blessedly cool. Perhaps a swim day wouldn't be out of the question? After all, it's beautifully clear until it becomes slightly murkier in the middle... it's hard to see how deep it is, down there. Careful, now.

Those who swim juust a bit farther from shore may notice a figure curled up under the shade of some piled-up stones, though... and not too far from that, a horse-like creature drinking from the shallows as if it were not briny in the least. ]

( OOC: Take a dip, Thusia! The current near the middle of the river will be dangerously fast, and Muirin will snag anybody in trouble or who bothers her! )

aeschyne

Who: everyone
When: day 122 morning - afternoon
Where: everywhere
What: it's just a mingle

[ hey thusia, how are you holding up ]

cloakanddaikon

Who: Current inhabitants of HQ
When: Day 119, morning
Where: 4th floor courtyard
What: Breakfast and reestablished communications

[The smell of baking and breakfast sausages fills the air this morning. Follow it, and you'll find a large picnic blanket spread out between the 4th floor bulletin board and the (now once again empty, and finally clean) fountain.

The last of the rainforest's larder is spread out: small bowls of varied nuts, warm buns beside blood mushroom jam, fried potatoes, monkey sausage and crispy monkey wings. A salad of fresh green and yellow leaves, dotted with flower petals, adds colour, as does a plate of preserved local vegetables. In the centre, steaming gently, is a pot of . . . is that miso soup?

A sign on the bulletin board states, simply enough, Community Meet and Greet.]

Good morning.

I am quite sure I am not alone in realizing how many new faces there are in these halls, and how many more that were once here are now absent. Before we embark on whatever explorations we make have in this new location, it seems a good time to once again take a few moments to introduce ourselves.

If you could, please give your name, the length of time you have been here, and, as a way to open up conversation, feel free to share a point of interest about yourself, any plans you may have for the next few days, or questions about the environment we have navigated to.

andiwantitnow

Who: ASSORTED SUBJECTS-TO-BE
When: Day 118, BRIGHT AND FUCKING EARLY
Where: HQ. All of it.
What:

[ Wow, good morning. Today, if you are up yet, you may notices a slight tremor, and your floor tilting juuuuuust a bit thattaway. If you weren't up yet, you may be soon, as a red magic seal plants itself in your wall and a booming voice echoes out of it. Not so loud as to be painful. But loud. Real loud. ]

HEAR ME, OH CITIZENS OF THUSIA, OH NOBLE DEAD. ISKANDER, KING OF CONQUERORS CLAIMS NOW COMMAND OF THIS FORTRESS. I WILL BRING IT TO A PLACE OF SECURITY AND SET IT DOWN WHERE WE MAY MAKE OUR HOME.

STAY THERE, IF YOU LIKE, AND MAY YOU KNOW HAPPINESS. BUT TO THOSE WHO WILL VENTURE: I WILL LEAD YOU. FOLLOW ME, AND WE WILL FIND VICTORY. FOLLOW ME AND WE WILL FIND PROSPERITY IN THIS WORLD. WE WILL FIND TREASURES, AND WE MAY YET ACCOMPLISH GREATER AND MORE SPLENDID THINGS THAN YOU HAVE IMAGINED.

WE WILL EXPLORE AND WE WILL BUILD AND WE WILL CONQUER. THERE WILL BE NO SKY WE CAN NOT FLY THROUGH. THERE WILL BE NO HORIZON TOO DISTANT TO SEEK.

DREAM WITH ME, OH DREAMLESS DEAD, AND I TELL YOU THIS: OUR DREAM WILL BE ETERNAL IN ITS GLORY.

[ and once more, HQ tilts ever-so-slightly that other way. Gosh those hills are looking pretty close. ]

weddingcake

Who: Tokiomi + anyone
When: Day 116, morning
Where: near Apt O
What:

[The door to Apartment O is open this morning.

This is probably bad for everyone around, because there is pinkish coloured smoke pouring into the hall and it smells like salad greens that have gone off.

After a few moments there is a loud POP, followed by Tokiomi shouting a couple of very rude words he would not normally say.

He'll be coming out to the doorway to try and wave the smoke away momentarily, thus revealing the true tragedy of this morning's magical mistake: he has singed The Beard.]

[Feel free to use this post for your mingling purposes as well!]

oi_theoi

Who: You!
When: Day 115, Evening
Where: Level 3, baths and common area.
What: POOL PARTY -- sort of...

[So you may hear some firecrackers going off on level 3, loudly. But just to get your attention! When you arrive you will find a that the tables of the mess area have been moved near the baths, and the whole section seems to be obscured from the rest of the common area with glass beaded curtains (floating without string) for the sake of those who are modest.

The tables have been laid out with a bunch of ingredients: some kind of creamy fish salad (like tuna), slices of meat in various flavors and textures, leafy greens, sprouts, slices of some sort of fruit or vegetable that tastes a bit tangy, there are even some cheeses, and bread. Lots of bread, already sliced up and ready for sandwich making. On some of the tables are a few tabletop grills and more cuts of meat (someone has even managed to introduce burger meats to Thusia at some point, though it's not beef). These are raw and arranged with various condiments, sauces, and seasonings nearby to barbeque with. For those less inclined to making food, there are bowls of cut fruit of various kinds (careful, some of those might be gummelons--aka zen melons).

Within the baths themselves, many towels have been provided, some wicker furniture to relax in as well, and the water itself is running clean and cool in the river, with the hot tubs steaming pleasantly beside.

Dellen's script has been left on the wall nearby:]

It's good to relax now and then.

((ooc: FOOD SHENANIGANS!

Eating food that you prepared yourself is basically safe. You might feel a bit of an energy boost but not much else will happen to you.

HOWEVER, eating food prepared by someone else will temporarily influence you with one of the personality traits of the person who prepared the food! It will generally be a personality trait that the cook considers to be positive about themselves (friendly, organized, commanding... being a sexy bombshell... if they're that sort of person...), but that can be pretty subjective. Those affected can choose either to play the personality trait as the cook sees it or as their own chara would see it.

Cooks and/or sandwich makers, be sure to list a few personality traits people can take on if you do a top-comment offering food.

Eaters (or.. whatever I should call you), you can either replace a personality trait you picked up if you eat from a different cook or have the effects stack on top of each other. Effects can last from half an hour to a whole day, depending what you want to play with.))

cicatrici

Who: Xanxus, his tiny lion, and YOU!
When: Day 115, morning
Where: Arounds the shrine area to the hallway outside 2-E
What: re-intro, Xanxus struggles with simple tasks that are only necessary because of his own stupidity.

[Xanxus hasn't been out of his room much since he'd been freed from the forest. The experience had left him a little ragged and it'd taken him a while to recover. This combined with his natural laziness had resulted in his recovery period lasting several weeks. In fact, the only reason he's left his room today is due to an incident where he'd been startled awake only to instinctively shoot his door off it's hinges at what turned out to be nothing.

So he's stopped by the shrine area to get himself a new door. You might run into him on his way back, carrying the door. Or you might run into him back at his room, trying to figure out how to attach his new door. He's finding that. like many things, this is difficult to do when you only have one arm to work with!]

oi_theoi

Who: Anyone
When: Day 115, Morning
Where: All over HQ
What: Mingle mingle

[ Being in the sky should mean a nice and bright full face of sunshine in the morning, right? ]

[ Well, maybe not this morning, seeing as there are bright purple glittery butterflies all over the windows, each one with a wingspan of a foot. Apparently the brief rainstorm sighted yesterday has blown them up from the forest below, and they seem intent on getting into HQ as quickly as possible, ducking away into dark places when they can get in through the breaches that still need patching on the lower levels. Those that're still outside start to smoke a little when the sun hits their wings. The smoke shifts and changes colors as it rises, going through the entire rainbow of colors before whisking away. ]

[ A familiar, tobacco-y smell to any habitual smokers... ]

[ But rainbow tobacco butterflies aside, it's quite a lovely day in the sky, Thusia. How you doin? ]

friendsontheotherside

Who: Everyone
When: Day 113, afternoon
Where: The shrine area
What: A tea party~

[You are all cordially invited to Luna's grand tea party. The invitation is the aroma of delicious baking, and should you follow you'll discover dozens of cakes and tea pots and fancy flower arrangements floating mid-air, laid out as though they would be on individual tables. The host of this party is sitting at a 'table', and by sitting I also mean floating, sipping daintily from a cup of tea.]

anklets

Who: Lenalee and you guys
Where: Level 3, (very) near apartment D
When: Day 113, a little before sunrise
What: d-d-dehiatus!

[Not one to linger on fairytales and their ilk, Lenalee has shed her Sleeping Beauty regime of the last six days, and is now on her feet (...fffffor the time being). She has "escaped" the apartment, which is a generous way of saying she's standing knock-kneed in the open doorway to the hall with an expression of total disorientation, holding herself up with white knuckles on the doorframe and no small amount of willpower.

Tight-lipped. Wan.

Her eyes move back and forth as HQ settles and shifts (as people inside her own home possibly settle and shift).

And, if you're passing by at this obscenely early hour, you may find that she's staring right at you.]

oi_theoi

Who: People working on getting the HQ powered + anyone who gets curious
When: Day 110, evening and onward
Where: Mainly Level 2 but also other effected areas
What: Mini-event

[So for those who have been working all day on collecting and burning fuel, it finally feels like some progress is being made. Where before all the power readouts were hovering around 10%, the display on the generator now reads:

POWER CORES ENGINE 1 - 18% - RECHARGE REQUIRED ENGINE 2 - 18% - RECHARGE REQUIRED ENGINE 3 - 18% - RECHARGE REQUIRED ENGINE 4 - 18% - RECHARGE REQUIRED

Only two percentage points away from the 20% needed to get the navigation system working again. If one checks on the engine chambers through the access hatches at each corner of Level 2, the displays there also read similarly for each engine. However... progress seems to stall around 18%, even as the HQ starts to hum with energy, for those who can hear that sort of thing.

Around evening, as it becomes too dark to work outside safely and people's arms are tired from hacking and sawing and tossing material around, the whole HQ seems to suddenly shudder--the lights in the HQ are suddenly brighter, levels that were previously mostly unlit except the habitated areas, like Level 2 and 1, are now lit as they're meant to be. Somewhere in the facilities on the southwest corner of Level 2, a machine switches on--grinds with a terrible sound--and switches off. The stones of the stairs between all the levels shudder and vibrate--a section of each staircase lifting slightly and rearranging into stone platforms that slide up, similar to escalators--

All this while the various readouts show power levels starting to drop again (not dramatically, but enough that it could undo your work if left alone for more than a few days)]

[A LITTLE LATER:
Around the HQ, all the things that had started waking up start turning down again. The lights in the public common areas on all levels dim or turn off, leaving mostly light by the doors of apartments, the moving platforms of the stairs switch to a different pattern, with only one platform traveling up and down along the wall like an elevator. There are also less visible changes such as the climate control, water filtration, and garbage systems being turned down...]

((ooc: Feel free to post your own top comments to react to the HQ flipping out without having to involve yourself with fixing stuff!

For people who want to poke at the power stuff and navigator:

adventure thread. <-- this is where I'll be posting prompts of things for people to interact with starting around 5:30EST/4:30CST/2:30PST))

oi_theoi

Who: Princesses and Protectors
When: Day 109, All Day
Where: Third Floor, next to the windowed doorway
What: Everyone loves an escort mission

[ At a previously determined and completely handwaved time in the morning, four pillars made of shadow rise up from the ground, atop each one sitting a small orb, no bigger than a grapefruit. As more people begin to arrive, a screen appears just behind them, outlining the details of the mission ahead... ]

(( Mingle | Mission Details | Group One | Group Two | Group Three

Group Four OPEN TO LAST MINUTE SIGNUPS. This session will start Saturday (tomorrow) 6EST/3PST.))

ritualistic

Who: Everyone
When: Day 106, All Day
Where: Everywhere
What: Second Post for the Memory Event

[You thought yesterday was a hindrance? You've not seen anything yet]

( OPTION A )

( OPTION B )

[OOC: Welcome to the big post for Kessex's Memory event. The Options are separated below in comments. Only one main thread for each character will be followed by Kessex unless you need/or want him in which case ping me in the Questions and Pings thread.

EDIT: Decided that you can in fact touch some things in the memory, but nothing that will have an effect on the memory itself. As long as it won't cause the memory to shift, you can touch it. Walls, doors, table ware and the like.]

ritualistic

Who: Everyone
When: Day 105, All Day.
Where: Everywhere!
What: Beginning part of Memory event.

[Whenever you choose to wake up, you do so in your usual fashion, everything appears normal in the base, no lizagons attacking yet, no monsters in the closet.

It really looks as if today might be a calm day, until you go to try and remember what you wanted to do today. What was it? You had a list, but you can't quite remember it. Today's feeling could be considered fuzzy, peoples names won't come as easily, what you had for dinner the night before is vague...

Now I wonder why? Go about your business Thusia, nothing happening here.]

[ooc: All day you'll be forgetting random things. A word, a phrase, something you were going to do, a whole person. It happens randomly. IE: You walk into a room with a purpose, but forgot why you even went in there. Every person will realize they are forgetting something, let the panic ensue.]
