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...

[...Huh. That's actually really useful, potentially, although he doesn't want to unnecessarily stress out Carlisle by mentioning the application he can think of. He'll just keep it in mind for if it ever becomes relevant through an event, and maybe let Drake know the option exists should anything happen.

But for now he just nods.]

Yeah, hopefully that isn't something we'd ever need here, but who knows with the events. I heard there was something a few years ago that had to do with zombies or people turning into monsters?

[Or both, but Lance wasn't here for either the zombie or wendigo events and has just mentally combined bits and pieces of what he'd heard over time.]

[Carlisle halts in his work, picking at the bandages on his arm immediately, uncontrollably - it's a nervous reaction, but a sharp one he fails to suppress.]

People have become monsters plenty of times. [He doesn't mean that quite literally, but he continues regardless, resuming his work.] And the undead have graced the city streets more than once. Individuals have been brought through the door, and the gods have sent the hordes after us. As you said, 'who knows' with their so-called 'events.'
