World Log: Tundra Arrival

[hadrielmods]

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.

the shops!!

[knockthemdead]

[It's difficult to see how cold Angus clearly is and not be able to do anything about it. Curse you, naturally icy skin.

The best Kravitz can do is tag along on some of his investigations; look out for the kiddo and... hold notebooks.]

Why don't you dictate to me? I would be happy to write everything down, and that way you can keep your hands free.

[hellosirs]

[ Hey, he'll never refuse an assistant, especially one who gives him the perfect excuse to keep his hands warm! Angus brightens up instantly, and hands Kravitz a stubby little pencil. ]

Oh! Really? That'd be very helpful, thank you sir! It's gonna be pretty boring though, I'm just doing inventory. Lots of counting. I figure we should see how much food there is, and if most of it is perishable.

[knockthemdead]

[Kravitz looks down in amusement at the stub of a pencil, before tucking it into a pocket and producing a quill out of thin air. One of the perks of the job, albeit not a very exciting one.]

That's quite alright. It's a good idea, and I don't mind losing some time to it. After all , I have an obligation to help take care of all you mortals, what with your stomachs and your hunger...

[hah. hah.]

[hellosirs]

[ That earns Kravitz a bit of a flat look. Excuse you, don't patronize him for being a flesh boy with a digestive system! ]

You don't need to eat, sir? Like, not at all?

[knockthemdead]

[That look earns a grin in response, because teasing Angus is awfully fun.]

I don't, no. Although I can still taste- erm, sort of- and I must say, I'm quite glad for that. All the uh, all of the perks with none of the stomach aches.

[Alright, he's straight up just bragging, now.]

[hellosirs]

[ Oh gods, is he learning it from Taako?? ]

That, um, that certainly would come in handy.

[ Taako would probably flip if he didn't have a boyfriend that he could impress with his cooking, after all. ]

It makes sense that you wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that on the Astral Plane, I guess. Is there even any food over there? Or, um... ghost... food?

[knockthemdead]

[No!!! No way!! He would never be as mean as Taako! Probably. In most cases. Ugh. Angus' dumb adorable face just sets him up for hair ruffles and teasing, okay?]

I'm sure we're thinking of the exact same person in this moment.

[There's absolutely zero doubt. Can you imagine the sheer magnitude of the shitfit he would throw?]

Alright, I feel it's important to clarify that I'm not a ghost. Neither are the peaceful, contented, fully crossed over souls who reside there.

...But yes, I suppose it's reasonable to assume there is "ghost food". Someone's ideal forever must include a particular meal, or a steady supply of food.

[hellosirs]

[ This is Angus's lot in life, he's used to it by now! ]

Oh, no, it's ok! I know you're not a ghost, you're much too corporeal and solid for that, even though you are very spooky when you go all skeletal.

[ RIP that one time Angus freaked out and threw a pillow at Skele-krav's head. He glances back at Kravitz for a second, eyeing the notebook and momentarily wishing that it was back in his hands. He likes being warm, but he likes knowing things even more, and ever since Kravitz moved in, he's been keeping meticulous notes on the guy. He has to fight back the reflex to jot all this new information down! ]

What about you? Do you have a favourite food, so far?
