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...

She will. I only wish I could be there to see it. To see Cersei Lannister brought low, once and for all. [she smiles at his words] If Sorrow wasn't lying, perhaps you could go?

I won't be long. The shops aren't far, I'll return in less than half an hour.

If Sorrow wasn't lying, I'd be glad to go!

All right. I'll wait for you here, and I promise I won't use the time to build a rowboat and row to South Island and back. [ Grin. ]

[she smiles back and heads to the shops.

she returns after approximately half an hour, bearing an armload of linens. she drops the pile at his feet]

Will this do?

[ He uses the time to continue fishing off the cliff, and he fills his fish basket. This will make dinner for both of them, and anybody else who happens to need a square meal tonight.

When Margaery returns, she is carrying a huge heap of fabric! He stoops down and runs the linens through his hands, taking their measure and admiring their quality. They are heavy and thick, and will make a fine sail. ]

Absolutely! I'll make a sketch today and write in the dimensions. Thank you, Margaery! We are going to have one fine sailboat!

[she's pleased to hear that her efforts are appreciated and will be of aid]

I'm so very glad to hear that! The so-called gods won't be able to keep us trapped in one place forever.

[ Her efforts will be invaluable! And deeply appreciated! ]

Indeed the god won't keep us trapped here for long. [ Smile. ]

[she begins to spread out the linens]

How large should I make the sail?

[ He looks over the spread-out linens. ]

Let's go for fourteen by eighteen feet. If you sew it together in say, eight vertical sections, that ought to work. It'll make the sail stronger, too, to have so many vertical seams.

[she also looks over the linens]

This will not be the work of a single day.

Indeed, it will not be the work of one day. [ Smile. ] But we won't need it until the boat is finished, so that gives you a week. Will that be enough time, do you think?

[she considers] ...I believe so. I'd like to stitch everything twice to ensure that it holds in the winds, but I think I can accomplish the work in a week.

Sounds like a plan. [ This is sounding better and better! ] Yes, the double-stitching will definitely help.

I'd better help you carry all of this fabric back to your sewing shop, then?

[she nods Yes, I'd like the sail to be as strong as possible. The winds are calm now, but who can say what the future will bring?

Yes, please, if you wouldn't mind?

[ No argument from him on this! ] We are bound to have high winds at sea, sooner or later.

[ And he smiles and starts gathering up the fabric to return it to Margaery's shop. ]

Indeed. It's best to be ready for any eventuality.

[she gathers up an armload as well and heads for the Shop]
