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...

She smiles, a little sheepish but grateful. "Well, I-- okay. I'll do my best."

In the meantime, it does give her security to know that someone will be taking care of the group of animals she's accumulated. Only one really belongs to her- the nug- but the rest belonged to friends until they left the city. She couldn't just let them go. "They're all pretty nice. Just don't be worried by how many, uhm, teeth some of them have. That's n-normal."

She chuckles.

"Oh, that is no concern for me. I do not feel pain -- or anything, really."

Which is a more depressing reality than Ravine makes it out to be. Sensations are for the living, of which she is not.

"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.
