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.*

Huh. Hadn't even thought about that. [ He shrugs. ] I was planning on taking some of this food back and storing it, though, so I guess we'll find out one way or another.
[ Turning to the fire, he gestures at some of the fish-like creatures stuck on sticks and roasting slowly near the fire. ] Those are some kind of fish. Doesn't taste the same, but I'm not about to complain. Other than that, I've found mostly fruits. Some of them look a little weird, so try them at your own risk.
no subject
I know someone who would love to catch a few of those. [ he settles himself and his stash next to the fire. ] So, you've tried it. How are you feeling - any nausea, dizziness?
no subject
Optimistic, aren't you? [ Jim grins, though. ] No, I'm feeling fine. More than fine, actually. I think it's safe to say they're edible. Feel free to help yourself.
no subject
Cautious. [ or paranoid. but he cheerily adds, ] You never know what parasites you might pick up. And without a medvac...
[ he picks up a fruit, some fleshy tear-shaped thing with a dark purple skin, and rips the fruit in two. white, almost transparent flesh, dark red pit. nothing really unusual on appearance. taste, however. he offers kirk half with a smile, as if it eating the fruit was a challenge. because he's immature like that ]
no subject
As it is, he accepts the food handed to him, letting out a chuckle but accepting that challenge all too promptly. ] Fine, then. Make me your guinea pig, won't you. [ Turning the piece of food in his hands to figure out the best way to eat it, he finally lifts it up to his mouth and takes a good bite from it. ]
Mm. A bit bitter, [ He swallows the piece of fruit, then purses his lips. ] But tasty.
