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...

[pocketspa]

[He erupts into laughter as soon as he hears Gren's scratchy voice hollering back, the noise no less sharp and certainly not less irritating than his regular talk.]

Oh shit, this the siren call around this place? No lovely songs, just Mr. Potato Head over there screaming at the top of his lungs? Boooo, I demand a do over.

[murderpotato]

EAT MY ENTIRE FUCKIN' ASS.

[He can still hear you, Taako. He can still hear you and he doesn't like it.]

[pocketspa]

[He's still grinning as he starts following Gren's voice towards his apartment. The buildings seem to be a little fucked up around here now, so it's kind of hard to say exactly where he is, but he'll figure it out.]

Alright, so it's fantasy marco polo with curse words, great. What, you just gonna spend all your time indoors 'till we move again? Gonna be like six months, my dude.

[murderpotato]

[Gren is literally in the first house in the first spiral, because he's been here longer than all you assholes. Gren is the salty winter adult to all of you sweet summer children.]

PUTTING 'FANTASY' IN FRONT OF SOMETHING DON'T MAKE IT A REN FAIRE THING.

[And, yes, you're going to be playing marco polo with a yelling, pissy murderpotato. So is everyone else within earshot, Gren's got a set of lungs on him.]

[pocketspa]

[He's been here a year, he's paid his dues. Taako just laughs again, because all of this is hilarious and any day he can mess with Gren is a win.]

That's just how things are named, my man. It's here, it's a fantasy thing. Like, who would go to a regular Costco.

[He is getting closer, so the screaming will be Less, soon. Maybe. Neither of them are sorry so what does it matter.]

[murderpotato]

THAT DOESN'T EVEN FUCKIN' MAKE SENSE.

[Because that's acknowledging that their whole universe is aware that they're a bullshit ren faire universe, which would mean acknowledging that there are non-ren faire universes out there? That's too meta for Gren, my dudes. The fourth wall can only withstand so much weight.]

[pocketspa]

[Well, there are, basically, have you ever heard the gospel of hamster habitrail world Gren??

Regardless, he just laughs, jogging just a bit up to where he's pretty sure Gren's been living these days.]

Do you have something against fun fantasy shit, Gren? Can't handle talkin' to an elf? Frankly my man, I'm offended.

[murderpotato]

[Oh, good, now Gren can see Taako, too. Thanks, he hates it.]

The other elves I've talked to ain't half as fuckin' obnoxious as you. You're special, contgratu-fuckin'-lations.

[Taako is absolutely special. He's the most special, just like... not in a good way.]

[pocketspa]

[He snaps his fingers at him in a little fingergun.]

I'm the best elf there is, my man. You don't want all that uptight shit, do you? Hell, I'm magic. And I threw that hella date for you that one time. What's not to love?

[murderpotato]

You fuckin' told me to tentacle his dick!

[Which, for most people, would probably be bad advice, except that apparently Wade was into that? So it somehow was bad advice that looped around until it was good advice.]

[Taako vacillates wildly between dispensing surprisingly good advice and startlingly bad advice. The trick is figuring out which is which.]

[pocketspa]

Hey! It worked! How do you think I got my boyfriend??

[It was, and remains, GREAT advice. You should take it more often, Gren. Just let him tell you what to do and then do it without asking questions, it's great, it'll be great.]

Come on. Would I lie to you?

[murderpotato]

You would fuckin’ lie to me in a second if you thought it’d be funny enough.

[Don’t even try to deny it, Taako, you’re exactly the kind of asshole that would give him shitty advice if you’d get a good chuckle out of it.]

Why the fuck do you even have a spell for that? Who woke up one fuckin’ day and said ‘you know what I need in my fuckin’ life? Tentacle sex magic, there’s a fuckin’ underrepresented demographic’. What the fuck.

[pocketspa]

[He bursts into a fresh round of laughter as Gren accuses him, 100% on the money. He'd sell Gren to Satan for one corn chip.]

Oh, I have like three, my man. Lotsa wizards before me got freaky with the unknown. Really useful, too, most people get too wigged out to fight back if you need to get outta dodge.
