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.*

[Jess isn't daring enough to strip down to nothing, not when she still remembers what dying felt like when she took the suit off before. She has no idea how long these little gaps of time will last, so she won't risk getting naked, but that doesn't mean she can't take advantage of the water.
She strips the suit down to her waist and wades into the water, once she's submerged, she wiggles a little further out of the suit, because there's a limit to how much she's going to put on display.
Of course, the trip into the water leaves her soaked down to her boots, so once she feels sufficiently clean, Jess hitches her suit back up to her waist and finds a spot on the grass to dry off.
Suns out, tits out.]
yackety sax intensifies
[At some point, Jess comes across a time pocket that's already occupied, by something that doesn't look entirely friendly.
Which turns out to be an understatement, because as soon as the creature realizes that something edible is nearby, it growls and launches itself straight at Jess. After the mess with the trilobite queen and the fact that technically, she's in the past right now, Jess is reluctant to hurt the thing.
So she runs.]

[hmu if you want something else, or just toss something random at me, Jess will be around the city mostly!!]

[That comes barely moments after Cloud, unsuspecting there'd been anyone nearby, walks cautiously out from the greenery into the clearing around the pool, ducking under the branch of a tree, and then immediately backpedals. Well, after a second of wide-eyed staring as he realises what he's looking at, admittedly.
His retreat isn't exactly straight back the way he came, though, so instead he hits the tree... and the back of his head smacking into the low-hanging branch he'd avoided earlier. The little groan that slips out is more embarrassed and exasperated than one of pain, though.]
