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...

[Good to know that Alphys knows Lup as well as she does. Because the elf absolutely loves not telling her things on purpose.]

Nooope! That makes it so much more exciting though, right? C'mon, babe. I'll let you hold my hand an' everything.

[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.]

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.]

[Alphys just stares until Lup holds out her hand. Is this how she dies? She's pretty sure this is how she dies.

Well, wouldn't be the first time. So she does.]

So, uh, a-are you gonna tell me what's gonna happen now, or--

[Naturally, Lup waits until Alphys is in mid-sentence to cast Teleport, absolutely taking the two of them right into Alphy's living room.]

Ta-da! How's that?

[That sentence immediately turns into a yell once they've landed, Alphys' eyes going wide as she looks around fervently. Funnily enough, it's not the first time she's been teleported- Sans' "shortcuts" were always a little more dizzying, but it's the same effect. Still, though, Sans usually gave her some warning. Her grip is tighter on Lup's hand even after they've landed, wheezing slightly as she looks up at the other woman.]

Ohmygosh. You-- You do that too. Ohhhhmygod, okay! I mean!!! Okay!!!

[SHE IS HERE NOW SO, SURE, OKAY]

[C'mon, Alphys. It's just so much better without notice! It's like, a fun surprise. Right? Right???

While Alphys looks more than a little taken back by the spell, Lup's expression is full knife cat. This is her greatest accomplishment.]

Can't believe you ever doubted me, chickadee. Haven't we been through enough together? [And while Alphys flails a little, Lup's just gonna plop down onto the nearby couch, right on her back, legs kicked up against the chair arms.]

Haven't I proven myself as a Grade-A, bomb-ass wizard yet?

[She just wheezes a bit, substituting Lup's hand for the chair arm to steady herself, and then just slumping with her forhead pressed against it for balance.]

I knew that, I, I always knew that, you just, y-you're... surprising.

[Let's go with that. Sure. After a few moments, she tries to steady herself.]

People in my world don't just-- just do that, you know. I only knew one person who could do stuff like that, e-ever.

[Surprising she'll take. Surprising is appropriate.]

Natch. [But the smile Lup sends Alphys' way, sharp and toothy and so so teasing, softens just a little to reveal just a touch of affection behind it. It's strange to think they've been friends for nearly a year now. Time in this place is just flying by.]

Well, now you know a couple of 'em, Taako an' Barry an' I. And any one of us would be happy to use up a spellslot or two to help you out, Alphy. You're a family friend.

[She tries to formulate a proper response to that, but all that comes out is 'gggggghhhhhhhh' and her face getting progressively redder.]

Well! If you, uh, ever need some tech. Stuff! Done. I'll be there! With my, uhm, screwdrivers. And things.

[It feels-- silly, up against everything else they can do and she can't. But she's trying.]

Hey, that's just what we need sometimes. Magic is life, sure, but it doesn't always solve every single problem. Sometimes you need a good screwdriver.

[No one knows as much as Lup how sometimes magic just doesn't cut it.]

Mind if I catch a nap on your couch? Gotta recharge some spellslots so I can get back home before dinner.

[She does smile at that, something small and gentle.]

Yeah. I mean, I-- yeah! T-Take as much time as you need, I'm gonna pack some stuff.

[And right on cue, a cat with WAY too many eyes saunters in, letting out a low whine. Alphys sighs.]

And leave the pets some treats as an apology for being gone, gosh.
