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.*

I had a few.

[ He meets her gaze, steady and unabashed. ]

But I might not be the best judge of how safe it is.
sobriquette: (scared of me)

[Jess kind of figured, based on how she works, even if Clark isn't the same thing, but - he's strong and resilient, she assumed that'd go for things like poisonous food.

She shrugs.]


It didn't happen to taste bitter, did it?

[Since that's often an indicator that something shouldn't be eaten.]
anewhope: (More star systems will slip through)

[personal profile] anewhope 2016-12-06 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's not too sweet.

[ He takes one for the pile, popping it in his mouth and chewing on it experimentally. ]

I can't taste anything bitter in this one.

[ Clark plucks a similar looking fruit, red with tiny spikes around the edges and hands it to her. ]
sobriquette: (with your face all made up)

[personal profile] sobriquette 2016-12-06 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
Try not to cry too hard if I die.

[There's almost a grin there, as Jess accepts the fruit, peeling off the spiky bits before eating it.]
anewhope: It's our lot in life. (We seem to be made to suffer.)

[personal profile] anewhope 2016-12-06 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Clark softens in good humour. ]

I can't promise anything.
