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...

We'd better, or this whole move is a waste of time. Why let us decide when they didn't even tell us the city wouldn't arrive intact?

[outofthefire]

Because the gods are dicks, that's why. They probably knew we wouldn't all fit on one island, they just didn't bother telling us.

[paragonbrosca]

And yet, all the other options sucked. Freezing our asses off or melting away in a jungle? Ugh.

[outofthefire]

You've got a point. I guess we'll get used to this. It's not like we've got much choice, right?

[paragonbrosca]

Yeah, but it won't be so bad as long as we get those boats. We might not have anywhere to hide from the Null, but they won't have anywhere to hide from us.

..they don't swim, right?

[outofthefire]

[she groans] Let's hope not. If the Null found us here, like this, we'd be sitting ducks.

[paragonbrosca]

It'd better not come to that, but maybe we're worrying over nothing. I'll try to get back to 'our' island as soon as I can get a boat. Do the same, okay?

[outofthefire]

Maybe. After all, the god who told us about these places we could go said that the Null probably wouldn't check this world. Too much water. And I get what he meant by that.

I will. With any luck, the boats will come fast. Which probably means that we're stuck where we're at for the next few weeks.
