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...

[Listen, he's been shown up by many, many impressive women over the years, he'll take any plus he can get.]

I mean, yeah, don't get me wrong, she's pretty killer. But you want the original Taako, full stop, trust me.

[uptightness]

Oh? How come?

[As no doubt it would be an interesting and unique answer that he'd give as to why come she could want the original Taako.]

[pocketspa]

[He just keeps grinning, punctuating it with a little laugh.]

Man, where do I even begin. First, better magic, natch. She just has fire, I can do flames and more without even tryin'. Plus I'm way more stylish. Better chef... there's a ton. I mean, don't get me wrong, she's still way over every other scrub here. But when it's the two of us, I'm def the better twin.

[uptightness]

She agree with that?

[That dry hint of humour to her voice, as Carolina would be completely surprised if she did... Then again, she doesn't know either of them well enough to actually be able to judge that. Growing up, she never had a sibling. Epsilon has been as close as she's gotten to that, and they are drastically different.]

[pocketspa]

[He just shrugs.]

I mean, she's not around to tell me I'm wrong, so. I'm right as far as you know.

[Sooo like, take his word for it. Defs. Would he lie to you??]

[uptightness]

That's a whole bunch of words for something as simple as no.

[Dry mirth echoing in her voice as she levels him with a look. It doesn't stay for long, but it's not like she has a horse in this race anyway.]

I'll leave you to your... work though.

[pocketspa]

[He laughs, obviously delighted with that answer, before giving her a little wave.]

Yeah, yeah. You ever wanna take it for a spin, let me know. I'm sure we can work out some sorta trade.

[Because like hell he's letting people borrow his shit for free.]

[uptightness]

[Oh, there is a little snort there. She can't say using it as at the top of her list of things to do, but there is curiosity at what he would charge. Something ridiculous, likely.]

I'm not entirely certain I want to know what you'd trade for...

[Running around the islands screaming he's better than his sister...? Who knows.]

[pocketspa]

[He shrugs.]

I dunno. I'm a dude who needs things. And I do mean that as like, things, this isn't some creepy ass sexual thing. But it depends what I need when, y'know?

[A small pause, while he considers his options here.]

Tell you what. You wanna use it, call me and make me an offer. We can go from there.

[uptightness]

[She can't see herself calling to ask to use it.

But she also never would have seen herself with the team that she is currently with, let alone with some semblance of normalcy and even happiness in it. Not that it is all sunshine, because there have still been losses, and damn if she is going to lose anyone here.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[A small curt tip of her head, more soldier-ish than anything else, before she moves on.]
