Event Log: The Beach Episode

[hadrielmods]

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...

"I was making a joke. The first thing is true, though. In my world, all Elves are related, and I'm closely related to a great many of them. But I don't expect anyone outside of my world to just know that. My world isn't the center of the multiverse."

"Do you ever find yourself making a remark about your own experience, and then realizing the other person heard it differently than you meant it?" No accusation in his tone, just curiosity. "Different experiences, different interpretations."

Pardon her broken sense of humor. If someone isn't suffering for her entertainment she may not ever notice the joke.

"Of course. What an idiotic question to ask," she snorts. Yeah, this is a waste of time. There are far more pleasant people to spend time with on this island if she wants a conversation. Caedra stands and brushes sand off her skirt.

Different worlds, different humor!

He gives her a bright grin. "Idiocy is catching. Watch out, you might become infected with it."

He's sees she's getting ready to leave, but he has one more question for her.

"Want to take a boat ride sometime?" Maybe not the best idea in the world, proposing to spend time cooped up in a wooden boat on the open water with a demon. But the daredevil streak in him often leads him to venture risky situations; they sometimes yield unexpected benefits.

"Not with you," she says flatly. She's met several others with seafaring inclinations and although her conversations with them have sometimes been brief, or ended poorly, she would still prefer that to someone who she absolutely dislikes. It's not even that he and his friends - no, kin, evidently - attacked her, seeking revenge; rather that she finds him entirely unbearable and if she can't sit through a few minutes of conversation with him, being trapped on a ship is the last thing she wants. Every alternative sailing companion she can think of would be preferred.

"However," she continues, "I do hope to hear about what you find, once you do venture out." And if it turns out that he becomes the only person here capable of building a seaworthy craft? She'll just have to go back on her refusal.

There's something a little bit flattering about being the target of such aversion! But Curufin is still focused, and he doesn't let himself waste time being amused.

"If that voyage happens, and I expect it will, I'll be perfectly happy to share my findings with you when I return. No reason not to."

He is still standing, and now he lifts a hand in a farewell salute, since she seems intent upon leaving. "Enjoy your wanderings upon these islands."
