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...

[ Maglor considers, trailing a hand in the waves idly ]

Not much point, I think. I can tell them to try over the communicators, just as easily. I'm not much good in the forge except to keep the fires going and beat out the metal! And that's terribly boring.

[hot_mes]

All right. Suit yourself.

[a moment of quiet lapses after that, which is always a good sign to Law that he needs to move on. Collecting his fishing apparatus, he gets up and gives the water a glance. Should he cheat and fling a few fish out? Nah, he's got enough and it's been enough of a waste of time.]

I've got more work to do. Enjoy your...stroll, I guess.

[bythewaves]

With the fish? [ Maglor startles, and looks apologetic ]

Forgive me, Law - I had forgotten. I can try and coax a few up for you, if you want.

[hot_mes]

It's not necessary. I can do the same if I really want to.

[but there's no need. Even with fridges and freezers having power again, it seems excessive to just load up on fish. He'll live.]

[bythewaves]

Alright. [ Maglor nods, accepting ] If you need a hand, my friend, do let me know.

If you see my brothers before I reach them, can you let them know I am alright? I'll speak to Curufin of the boats though.

[hot_mes]

Yeah, all right.

[deal and deal. Later, Mags.]

Good winds and calm seas!
