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.*

[ Of course Jim doesn't know the full extent of Clark's powers, but he knows his own Earth, and he knows 23rd century humans well enough to be sure that Clark wouldn't make them feel uncomfortable, nor afraid. People fear people for their actions, not a whole species solely based on what they're capable of. (An exception may be opened for Romulans because they're all assholes. Possibly Klingons too.) ]
What year are you from? No— let me guess. Late 20th century?

I was one of the first aliens they ever knew. Earth was also invaded so public reaction has been mixed.
[ He's putting it mildly, but Clark wouldn't cast blame on anyone for feeling that way. ]
no subject
[ And Vulcans were a very nice and reasonable race to establish first contact with, so they never really had that initial unpleasantness and dread that other people on other Earths might have experienced. ]
no subject
[ Bruce had mentioned the appearance of sorcerers and magic but Clark doesn't know what to make of that. ]
It didn't make for a good first impression.
no subject
[ Things probably wouldn't have gone quite as well for his Earth either if their first contact had been an invasion. ]
You'll probably get there eventually. I mean— either humans learn to live with aliens or... well, the option isn't very nice. And I like to bet on the former. [ If it can happen in one universe then it can happen in all the others, too. At least Jim believes that. ]
no subject
Maybe beyond my lifetime.
