OPEN MINGLE.
Who: Anyone!
When: Day 22 - Day 26 (Dec 7)
Where: Around the city.
What: Digging Boney out, checking on the injured, observing caused by the Overseer Drone including the time shenanigans and the new wildlife, and any other daily life threads you'd like to have before new arrivals.
Here, have some prompts!
DIG AND DIG AND DIGGITY DIG
The Dust seems to be settling on the city, quite literally. The result of massive cave-ins is that the city now looks like a poorly-managed construction zone, and the seekers of the Atlas who have been brought to this place might have to get their hands dirty in order to dig out the tunnels.
In case you need an incentive, access to some of the Monoliths has probably been prevented, not to mention the fact that nobody knows what happened to the strange boney creature calling itself The Last. The group consensus seems to be that they're going to dig him out. And was he the only one buried? A headcount goes round, but nobody is sure who exactly was in the caves. Probably time for a buddy system in case the next person buried is you.
Of course, hard work leaves little time for the other necessities of life. Why not bring by some food or water and strike up a conversation?
IT MEANS NO WORRIES
Manual labor isn't your thing? No problem! Several lush oasises seem to have popped up, complete with grass and water and wildlife.
There's one near the entrance to the city that is currently home to a couple of naughty tree-climbing mammals. Despite monkeying around, they look more like a gecko had a baby with a sloth than any kind of primate, but don't accuse these guys of being slow! They're fast, mischievous, and will steal anything they can get their hands on, carrying it somewhere high and leaving it there. But maybe if you can find out what they like to eat they can be tamed? Or at least convinced to brings your stuff back...
There's another denser patch of vegetation that definitely has something large and loud tromping around in it, but nobody's seen it yet... just be careful while foraging, okay? Or maybe it's a chance to finally have some meat for once.
Finally, there's definitely a decent sized pond with a shimmering reflection just begging for someone to cannonball in. And it turns out taking off the suit has no adverse effect writhing the oasis. Skinny dipping anyone?
TALE AS OLD AS TIME
Be careful around the sudden appearance of plants; they're time distortions that will zap in and out, the bubbles bursting before you can work out how to break that coconut-like plant open. And you don't want to end up stranded in the desert without your suit on, either. Not to mention some pretty weird time distortions seem to be happening. Careful you aren't stuck in a Groundhog Day loop, forced to relive the last few minutes of your gruesome death over and over...
On the plus side, you can give yourself a high five?
And only a high five, nobody wants to see you taking self love to an entirely new level.*

[Smiling, Clara slips around from behind him to steal some of the fish for herself. He's cooked it well enough that it's delicious, and she moves to sit at his side by the fire as she reaches forward to take some more. She's carried over some fruit in the pack on her suit, and it's pulled out and split in half so they can try it together. Her half is passed back and forth between her hands as she quickly thinks something over.]
We should collect as much as possible, just in case these rifts close up completely.

[ He wouldn't call it perfect by any means, but considering how they've been living off of what little rations they have at their disposal, this feels almost like a gourmet meal. Add to that the nice view of the lush forest and the small river just a few feet away, and Jim's actually letting himself enjoy this, just for a little while.
And he does enjoy Clara's company too, so. ]
I've been thinking about that too. [ Jim nods as he accepts his half of the fruit, peeling at it. Looks almost like an orange, so he pops one of the pieces into his mouth. ] Problem is figuring out where to store it, but maybe we could use our pods for that. Not perfect, but... [ Shrug. ] What do you think?
no subject
[She smirks a little, deciding to eat more of the fish rather than the fruit. It just tastes better, and gives her more energy.]
But any other pods, I'm sure we could easily use. Carefully, though. They explode.
[She can still remember how her ears rang and how dizzy she was after that explosion. As much as she has a sense of adventure, she's not really looking to have a repeat performance of that. ]
no subject
Wow. Okay, so maybe not the pods.
[ He's not gonna risk losing all the food he manages to collect by storing it in a pod that might end up exploding without warning. Guess he'll just have to find some other way to store it. ]
