Event Log: The Beach Episode

Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the transition to our new planet!
Where: The city, which has now been fragmented onto four separate islands.
When: May 27th-June 10th
Warnings: Surf's up! If by 'surf', you mean separation from your friends, weird sea creatures, and cold rainfall.

The sun and the sand and a drink in your hand- well, it all sounded pretty nice when you voted for the island planet, but ultimately what you're getting is a bit less glamorous.

The transition takes place instantaneously, with very little noteworthy shakeup, though those of you who are particularly in-tune with the supernatural may feel a bit dizzied or nauseated by the sudden movement. And that's exactly what it is: for those of you who are outside, the change is fairly noticeable, as in the span of a single blink, what used to be miles of desert is now rocky ocean. The city is simply in one place one moment, and then somewhere entirely new a second later.

And that somewhere new is exciting! The islands have plenty of landscape to explore and weather conditions to adjust to, fish to catch, and- wait, how do you get to the other islands? What if your friends or your home or the bar is on these other islands? Enjoy having to figure out who is where and how you're going to get by with only a small fraction of the city to work off of- hopefully those boats will come sooner rather than later...

[girls can't and shouldn't count on the protection of men, that's the problem]

I might be. Caedra, if she kills anyone again. I heard that the gods fucked with her powers, I might be able to stick an arrow between her eyes now.

[she's also been taking herself to the orchard, practicing hitting smaller and smaller targets. she'll need to find a new practice zone now that the orchard is inaccessible, but she'll manage]

I hope they know you for more than that.

[ He says quietly, fervently ]

I hope they remember that you were kind, and brave, and did your best despite the constraints laid upon you.

[Carlisle halts in his work, picking at the bandages on his arm immediately, uncontrollably - it's a nervous reaction, but a sharp one he fails to suppress.]

People have become monsters plenty of times. [He doesn't mean that quite literally, but he continues regardless, resuming his work.] And the undead have graced the city streets more than once. Individuals have been brought through the door, and the gods have sent the hordes after us. As you said, 'who knows' with their so-called 'events.'

( Reflex, just as it was to jump in front of him when the Null were attacking, thinking no more of it than she does how to run. She doesn't need to be worried about and says as much in the flippant comments about how it takes more than that to kill her. That isn't anyone's job, and it hasn't been for a very long time. Kate appreciates a hand at her back in battle, but in this--

It makes something in her stomach twitch unpleasantly, brings up that spine-tingling sense of dread. Makes her wonder once again, just why she chases this thing between them, why she wants to hold onto it when it's definitely going to disappear into nothingness sooner or later.

Why does she keep asking that? A million reasons, all of which are better left to a shrug than actual words, her head turning towards the air, towards the scent of sea spray that permeates every other part of where they are. )

Habit.

( And nothing more. )

I would like that. But what is it they say? History is written by the victors?

Margaery curses under her breath and uses her legs to twist her legs to the side, toward her shoulder, freeing her lower half. Once that's done, she twisted her hips to widen the gap between them and free herself, though capturing Sonya's right arm and twisting it back.

[Jo laughs weakly, looking down at her feet.]

Do we really know that?

[George shrugs]

I'd like a general idea, yeah.

By the victors, aye... but also by the survivors.

[ He flicks her a wry grin ]

Sansa, you said, she lives? Then she will remember you, and tell others, even if other folk forget.

"Better not give them any ideas on what to do to us next when you ask," he replies with a glance Rey's way. "I don't want to end up with a set of wings stuck on this chassis. My coat has enough holes as it is."

He doesn't doubt for one second the gods wouldn't pull a crazy stunt like that. It sounds right up Confusion's alley -- maybe Fear's, too. Delight would have had a field day with a suggestion like that.

"Curufin is working on boats," he continues, "but some of us would prefer to keep our feet on solid ground. A heavy hunk of metal like me and deep water don't exactly mix."

Thinking about that, Rey snorts into her hand. "I don't know, I think you'd look pretty cool with robot wings. Maybe with a little bit of rust..."

Got to have that old 'bot aesthetic, you know. Nick just wouldn't be Nick without it.

Her brow then creases.

"Mn, right. Don't suppose you know how to swim?" Not that that would matter, considering he's got exposed wirings all over.

It's just hard. Knowing that there will never again be a Tyrell in Highgarden. Knowing that all I did and all I was will fade away.

Sansa lives, it's true, but we had such a short time together. . .

I know.

[ He says softly, gently ]

But even so long as one person remembers, you are not forgotten.

[Big fear. But Alphys gets excited to see Lup hype- she bets she's going to like Faye a lot.]

Okay! I'm really not doing much, just hanging, so once I can get my laptop--

[Oh, right, the point of this conversation.]

Right, uh, w-what was the plan with that?

[Kelson didn't disagree that men could not be everywhere and could not often protect the women they were supposed to, but that didn't mean women should take up arms.]

If I were you, I would be very careful going up against someone like Caedra, even if her powers were tampered with. I speak from experience, Laura. Not with Caedra, but someone like her. Make sure you're ready. Or you will die.

[He snorts, giving him a look like he's prepared to give him the ribbing of the century and just debating if he's actually gonna do it.]

Ears, my man. Can't miss 'em. And if you saw another elf, it's only important if she looked like me. Rest of 'em aren't as good by a long shot.

[Curufin isn't bad. But like, Lup's better.]

Hey! It worked! How do you think I got my boyfriend??

[It was, and remains, GREAT advice. You should take it more often, Gren. Just let him tell you what to do and then do it without asking questions, it's great, it'll be great.]

Come on. Would I lie to you?

[Listen, he's been shown up by many, many impressive women over the years, he'll take any plus he can get.]

I mean, yeah, don't get me wrong, she's pretty killer. But you want the original Taako, full stop, trust me.

You would fuckin’ lie to me in a second if you thought it’d be funny enough.

[Don’t even try to deny it, Taako, you’re exactly the kind of asshole that would give him shitty advice if you’d get a good chuckle out of it.]

Why the fuck do you even have a spell for that? Who woke up one fuckin’ day and said ‘you know what I need in my fuckin’ life? Tentacle sex magic, there’s a fuckin’ underrepresented demographic’. What the fuck.

[she looks down]

I shall have to ask Sansa to. . . remember me. To her children. And her grandchildren.

[that's exactly what it does mean]

I won't die.

[she says with utter confidence]

"H-Heh, uh, right-- sorry. I mean, not that they really bite anyway, they're really harmless! It just scares some people." Which is totally not what she wants to do. Thankfully, Ravine is the most unflappable person ever, and wow is that needed around someone like Alphys.

She taps the tips of her claws together, trying to think of something else to say before spitting out more words. "Well, uh-- I'll be at the lab! So! You can let me know if there was a p-problem or anything thanks!!!" She looks a little bit like she's about to bolt, unless Ravine gives her reason not to.

[That's fair. Jo won't argue.]

I hope we're headed towards people being happy.

Happy. [she says in the air of one completely unaccustomed to the emotion. which, let's face it, she mostly is]

Yeah, that would be nice. Not gonna bet on it, though.

"No. He said since it was necessary to my survival, it wouldn't cost anything." A good thing, for Leo was wary of owing someone as powerful as a god anything like a debt. Who knew what the price to pay would be when they came calling?

"It really is," Leo confirms gravely. For Sunai, hunger was a thing ingrained into their psyches, as much a part of them as breathing or sleeping. It never truly left, only pushed to the side for a while, the way it was for a shark.
