hadriel_logs | World Log: Tundra Arrival

Who: All characters in the city
What: The log for the city's arrivel on the ice planet
Where: All around the city
When: November 21st-November 30th
Warnings: None

You all get some warning to prepare, which is great. A little time to stock up on supplies, make sure everything's where it supposed to be, call your friends in from their fishing boats. And then the city moves. It happens in the blink of an eye - one moment you're on islands, surrounded by ocean, and the next? The next you're surrounded by frozen ground, the temperature has dropped significantly, and even the sky looks different. The air has a bite to it, that familiar feeling telling you it's thinking about snowing soon. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday soon.

The city has rearranged itself back into that old, familiar shape, instead of spread out across islands like it was a moment ago. Maybe that'll make things easier for you, maybe it won't, but it also means the return of the lake and river that used to bisect the city - only now they're frozen over. This climate also means it'll be hard for any plants not otherwise protected to survive - and that you, too, will start feeling that cold if you're away from a warm place for too long.

And warm places might be in short supply, because when the city moved the gods did not. What does that mean for you? Well, whatever supplies are in the shops at the moment the city moves are the only ones left. No new food supplies, no new clothing, nothing. In addition, the power across the whole city is out, including water and heating. Anything else powered or supplied by gods (the hot springs, the mopeds, what's left of the orchard, the armory, the GPS) will not work.

You're on your own. Try not to die.

► This log covers November 21st-30th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you freeze to death, starve to death, are eaten by the local animals, fall through the ice, or find some other exciting way to die, please let us know here, and be aware resurrection will not be currently happening. You stay dead - for now.

[George isn't quite sure what's to become of her in this environment. she remembers the time Betty was mistaken for a corpse and locked in the morgue. that would imply that Reapers were room temperature, right? so eventually, her body would chill to the same temperature as she was in.

which was kind of gross and creepy when she thought about it that way. she resolved to not touch anyone until she could take her own damn temperature and confirm her theory.

a little chill would be understandable. being the same temperature as this godforsaken planet wouldn't be.

so that's why she's in a sweater with as thick of a jacket she could find over it.

she also is concerned about the whole lack of water and heat thing. she's guessing she can get by as far as the heat goes and might be able to go without drinking water, but she's going to miss showers]

Kinda does, doesn't it? Do you guys have enough food to get by?

[Jo turns, giving George a once-over. She knows the teen is a Reaper, but...What does that mean for George?

Hmm.]

I don't know. I didn't have a lot of time to rebuild my stockpile. If there isn't any more new food we might be in trouble.

[it means she's likely fucked. and is going to be like touching an icicle once she settles on the local temperature. there are times when she's painfully reminded of how inhuman she really is and this is one of them]

Well. You know I can go without eating. So I'll just. Do that for a while. Save more for you and Pell and Peter.

[George better stay inside more than not. Jo doesn't want her freezing.]

You don't need to eat at all? [Even a quarter of the food won't make it last much longer.]

[she won't freeze, she'll just become whatever the local temperature is and keep on keeping on. being a Reaper is fucking weird]

Nnnnnope. When the whole two weeks of the Null invasion not eating a thing. I got through it. I can again.

[That's worrying. George, don't get too cold.]

Do you get hungry? Or will anything else go bad if you don't eat?

[she'll be fiiiiiiine. probably. Betty managed to get mistaken for a corpse, she's not going to get that bad.

she shrugs] A little. But nothing I can't handle. You guys are the ones who need to eat to live.

[Jo knows that's true, and she understands George isn't human so much, but that's still hard to accept.]

You don't need any food? How long can you go without?

[it's often hard to accept that a friend isn't human anymore, yeah]

Don't get me wrong, I like eating food. But the longest I've been without was, huh. Lemme think . . . during the Null attack? And right after? So about two and a half weeks.

[She doesn't like it much.]

I hope it doesn't go that long.

[that's fine, so long as she still likes her as a person. even if the person isn't human anymore]

So do I, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

[Jo lets out a very long sigh. Fuck all of this.]

Come on. Let's get back to the house before we freeze.

[fuck all of it sideways]

All right. After all, it's not like the view's gonna change the more we stare at it.
