hadriel_logs | 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...

You're not going home? [The two of them had never really discussed this before. Jo's interested.]

Where will you go?

[And now, she has to confront it. Is she willing to run into danger just for the chance to hold hands with a pretty girl?

... Well, she ran into dream fire with her and got immolated, so. It wasn't real real, BUT....

Oh who is she kidding yes she will.]

... Okay. I, I trust you?

[Does she. Does she take the hand now? Alphys is absolutely just looking between her face and her arms hoping for a sign.]

Nope. My family. . . it was kind of falling apart. I dunno if I want to stick around for the gory details. And my little sister was having a hard time letting me go. Maybe it would be easier on her if I let go first. [George has barely accepted any of this herself and this is the first time she's actually said out loud that she doesn't want to go home]

I have no idea. I figure I've got time to settle on a place.

[Margaery laughs] Liked. Definitely liked. Grandmother liked strong, powerful, intelligent women. She said it was because she met so few of them.

That's a whole bunch of words for something as simple as no.

[Dry mirth echoing in her voice as she levels him with a look. It doesn't stay for long, but it's not like she has a horse in this race anyway.]

I'll leave you to your... work though.

I've always like school. It's just... hard work, which is something I'm good at. Plus I needed those grades.

[He grins. Honestly, part of him misses school, misses having that structure to his days and always knowing what he needed to be doing, what he was working towards. He's found other things to fill his days with here, but it's not quite the same.]

I don't know if I'd be any help. I mean, I took advanced classes, but I was still just in high school. I could help organize stuff though, maybe, like at the clinic.

[...Oh. Jo feels bad for dragging that up, but she's curious and she wanted to know.]

The decision is the hardest part.

She would have liked Galadriel then. [ Maglor smiles back ]

Sometimes she was more a force of nature than an elleth!

[it's hard on her. she doesn't have any solid plans on what to do or where to do it, she just knows she doesn't want to go back]

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

What about you?

[Surely that won't backfire later.]

I'll try to be patient. But seriously, I want to hear first about it first when you take the board out. It's nice to have water again, isn't it? I didn't realize how much I missed it before.

I only wish the two could meet. I suppose the only way would be if they were both to come here?

It sounds like I would like her as well.

[Jo looks a little shocked at the question. She hadn't really thought about it. After all, Heaven was where she was supposed to be. Right?]

I don't know.

I would expect so. [ Maglor agrees ]

Especially as when I left she was returning to Elvenhome.

[He laughs, obviously delighted with that answer, before giving her a little wave.]

Yeah, yeah. You ever wanna take it for a spin, let me know. I'm sure we can work out some sorta trade.

[Because like hell he's letting people borrow his shit for free.]

[yeah, but if she were in Heaven, she wouldn't get to hang out with George anymore. therefore, she is anti-Heaven]

Wherever I end up, you should come with. I'd--well, I'd miss you.

Oh! She was leaving you? I'm so sorry to hear that.

[Oh, she knows that feeling. Having structure to her days is always better than just staring at an aimless pile of work.]

Oh, no, I mean-- if you just wanna learn stuff. You don't need to, uhm, be working on a-anything, really. You can just study and experiment on stuff. There isn't really textbooks or anything, but we're all kind of learning on the fly right now.

She is returning home, across the Sea, to where I cannot go.

[ He says wistfully and then adds wryly ]

Although to be honest, she and I are long estranged.

[He winks.]

Check back later this week, babe. You can't keep me outta that osh. You know I invented surfing, right? Like, literally. Not havin' an ocean has actually been stabbing me. Like, the desert has it's perks, but fuck it.

[Oh, there is a little snort there. She can't say using it as at the top of her list of things to do, but there is curiosity at what he would charge. Something ridiculous, likely.]

I'm not entirely certain I want to know what you'd trade for...

[Running around the islands screaming he's better than his sister...? Who knows.]

Because of [she can't list off everything that happened, that will make him feel bad and she'd like to avoid that] everything?

Essentially. [ He shrugs wryly ]

Galadriel... our little Artanis holds very impressive grudges.

Strong women tend to. But perhaps the prospect of never seeing you again will sway her heart.

Hell yeah, you do!

[Lup waits for a moment, still grinning, and just when the pause between the two women lingers long enough to dip into awkward, she finally holds out her hand.

Do it, Alphys. Do it.]

[ He shakes his head wryly ]

Not her! Galadriel will do as she will do. I don't know if she will ever forgive us for hurting her so badly. I wouldn't put it past her to hold a grudge until the world ends! But then, she's grown very wise with the years. Who knows? I am in no position to ever ask her, so I suppose we'll never know.
