hadriel_logs | Event Log: The Beach Episode

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...

I bet there are a lot of people who were really excited to meet someone like you, too. I mean... humans are pretty boring, really, although I guess a lot of people here have crazy powers and stuff.

[But still, way less interesting than monsters and other creatures. Adam has no particular affection for humans, despite technically being one himself.]

So it's cool to be able to meet other beings. Where I'm from there aren't people like you, or really much except humans. Mostly.

[She can't hide the little blush on her face, the way her mouth goes wobbly as she tries not to smile. Alphys waves her wrist a bit his direction in an 'oh you' sort of pose she absolutelty picked up from a tv show.]

I mean, I'm not that exciting, I-- I c-could say the same for you! Humans are so exciting. I had only ever met one before I came here, and they were, uhm... well, I mean, there are all kinds of humans. But I think they're all pretty cool.

I don't know about all of us. I've met some pretty sub-par humans.

[A lot. Maybe most humans? There are a few decent ones, though, he can't deny that. And there are certainly a lot of cool power on display here.]

You're a scientist, so even if you weren't also another species, you'd be pretty interesting. I've always liked science.

[She can't help but giggle just once.]

I k-kind of remember that. Not really remember, because it wasn't real, but from that town Tranquility made. You were a good student.

[And somehow she was a teacher, which seems like a much too anxiety inducing position. But it doesn't matter how she got there when it was all fake.]

If you ever want to, uh, d-do more with that, you can come by the Lab anytime.

I've always like school. It's just... hard work, which is something I'm good at. Plus I needed those grades.

[He grins. Honestly, part of him misses school, misses having that structure to his days and always knowing what he needed to be doing, what he was working towards. He's found other things to fill his days with here, but it's not quite the same.]

I don't know if I'd be any help. I mean, I took advanced classes, but I was still just in high school. I could help organize stuff though, maybe, like at the clinic.

[Oh, she knows that feeling. Having structure to her days is always better than just staring at an aimless pile of work.]

Oh, no, I mean-- if you just wanna learn stuff. You don't need to, uhm, be working on a-anything, really. You can just study and experiment on stuff. There isn't really textbooks or anything, but we're all kind of learning on the fly right now.

Really?

[He brightens a little at that. Adam might prefer something like a formal class, with goals to reach and set requirements, but he likes the idea of this too. Just being able to learn, to try things out.]

I'd like that a lot. I - miss learning things.

[Seeing him smile makes her smile, too, and she clasps her hands together.]

Yeah! Please, uhm. Come by a-anytime. I'll see what I can teach you. Or maybe someone else can, uh, you never know!

Thanks. I will, then.

[And he means it. Adam likes to keep himself busy, and he likes learning, and the lab seems perfect for that.]

I guess I should head back before my friend does anything dangerous like... jump into the ocean.

[She giggles, giving him a little wave.]

G-Go on, then. I'll see you around the Lab soon?

[She leaves it on that upswing. A little hope. Something she can do against the darkness.]

[He smiles at her, genuine and something like happy, or as close as he can sometimes get here.]

Yeah. I'm gonna make some time to come by. I'll see you soon for sure.

[She smiles, and waves as he starts to leave.]

Okay! See you then!

[And she continues on the shoreline, more excited for the future.]
