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...

shoreline

[uptightness]

[It is inconvenient, to say the least. Home, as it is, is to the east, where their base is, and where she should be. She's not though, having gone off as she does most mornings, exploring, looking around town, that desire to move, to do something. She might have learned from the best on how to be lazy, but it isn't in her bones.

Probably a good thing, anyway.

She's taken to walking the shore, or at least as much as she can, looking for any answers that might be helpful, although ways across seem to be lacking. Times like this she misses having a ship of any sort, something that could just get her across the water. If she were desperate, she might try swimming, but even Carolina knows that's not a good idea. It's not like she chose to be here, but she doesn't need any more reasons for anyone to worry about her.

There is a soft snort at his words, catching them as she's passing by. While not exactly the most social of creatures, she's not a curmudgeon either.]

True, but a tropical island might have been nice.

[Unless there were dinosaurs...]

sorry for the wait on this! rl was a whole thing

[lifetothefullest]

The last time I was somewhere tropical it wasn't as fun as I was promised.

[He says it with some humor, clearly not that serious, although his trip to Florida really had sucked.]

Do you like the warmer climates better?

[Because tropics or desert, really the heat's the main issue for him.]

[uptightness]

[She gets that. Sometimes what you think you're buying isn't what you end up with. Sometimes it's not a bad thing though.]

They don't usually bother me one way or the other. My armor keeps my temperature regulated.

[Which she is lacking at the moment. It's currently safe, or as safe as it's going to get. She trusts Wash with it as she's not on the right island at the moment.]

[lifetothefullest]

Your armour has temperature regulation?

[That must be some fancy armour, although he has seen some high-tech enough in Hadriel that he could believe it. He doesn't want to make any guesses yet, though.]

[uptightness]

It's got many different features.

[Because fancy doesn't even begin to cover it. Of course not all of them are functional. At least not without an AI to run them.]
