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...

A cruise ship or a yacht? Those do sound large. Did you travel much?

A rowboat would be small and have no sail, and be used for lakes, rivers, and streams. Or possibly it would be carried on a large ship and used to ferry people from the ship to the land, when the ship is anchored offshore. My boat is meant to be sailed on the open ocean. Rowing is a last resort, but yes, we'd row if we had to.

[ Looking curiously at the robodragon. ] How did you and Hiryu come to be companions?

[blueeyesbond]

Not a lot but I've been to other places and countries before, for business things.

Hiryu and I... This isn't the first place I've been to that wasn't my universe. It's happened to me three times now. The first place could be as dangerous as it can be here, and I was on my own, so someone built Hiryu to help me stay safe.

You were in some kind of business? That must have been interesting. [ Mokuba's a kid, but that doesn't matter. Curufin was quite a competent metalsmith before he reached adolescence, and a master in the field before he was grown. Children practicing the crafts, business, or a profession doesn't seem strange to him. ]

You've lived in three worlds other than your own? You have me beat, then. This is only my second. That was kind of that person, whoever it was, to build you a companion and protector. Hiryu looks a bit like the dragons in my world. Can he do dragon things like shoot fire out of his mouth?
