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.

► 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.

[This is how they're god's best power couple. They scream together.]

I fucking know, right? Maybe there's more robots and monsters and shit here than we thought, so now I have to suffer for their fucking hubris.

[He throws his hands in the air, obviously exasperated.]

Like, I didn't even do this one! Lots of things are my fault but for once, I have no fucking consequences in this! I am completely blameless and yet I suffer. What the fuck. This is like, the worst injustice to ever happen to a single person. And that person is me.

[knockthemdead]

[This just in, you're not a power couple until you're gay and screaming a lot]

Ugh. Could they at least have the decency to think of who their choices affect?

[See Kravitz stomp. See Kravitz blatantly ignore that he used to be so out of touch with mortals, that he probably would have happily voted for an ice planet himself.]

You're right. You're absolutely right. Have I mentioned that I support you, 100%? Because I do! [He cups his frosty hands around his mouth and screams across the ice:] FUCK EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR THIS PLACE!

[pocketspa]

[UH, YEAH

Meanwhile, Kravitz is getting more worked up and Taako just feels his heart swell with affection. He loves this ridiculous man. Holy shit. He wants to kiss his face off right here. But he won't, because he has a reputation to uphold, but he wants to and that's what matters.]

Babe, you're fucking perfect.

[There he can have that. Taako finally stops, partially yelled out just because there's no one to yell at, and that defeats the purpose of screaming after like two minutes.]

Or well, if you could generate your own body heat you'd be fucking perfect, now me and my beating heart have to pick up twice the slack. Jeez.

[knockthemdead]

[Kravitz, too, is apparently done, if the way he hunches his shoulders and crosses his arms is any indication. He brightens though at Taako's words, unsure of what he's done to deserve them, but delighted all the same.

He's still smiling doofily when he responds to the rest of it;]

Perhaps we'll get lucky, and the door will make a comeback to spit out hot water bottles and fuzzy blankets.

[Doubtful, but a reaper can dream.]

[pocketspa]

[He was cute so he earns an award for being cute, don't think about it too hard ya fuckin goobus. Especially with that smile! That face! You nerd! HOW DARE.]

Pfft, never. Since when has the door given us anything good? Wait, actually, one time it was shirts, and that didn't suck. Where does it get that stuff from anyway? Does it, like, just steal it from random worlds? Does someone wake up to find their shipment of tacky t-shirts has disappeared into the sky? Is this a real-ass lifehack? Suddenly I give a shit about this.

[He looks back at the ground with a frown.]

Ugh, I just wanted to go fishing, this sucks.
