GOOD MORNING NEW ARRIVALS
This time for real!WAKEY WAKEY.
As the storm finally peters out and characters can once again move above ground it becomes abundantly clear that the landscape has
changed. Where vast expanses of sand dunes once laid is now the half-buried remnants of what looks like some sort of...city? Full of structures. It stretches so far it's really hard to tell. But there is one thing characters will notice:
There are more stasis pods.
Revealed by the sandstorm, a whole new flurry of pods can be found scattered on the way to the city (curiously though, not
in it. Hurry and wake those guys up!
SPREAD THE LOVE. OR ACID.
With the departure of the storm there's even more new arrivals to be found besides those fellow travelers of yours! The
"Seedlings" and
"Cactus" are now both available, the former blown in by the storm and the former uncovered.
The Seedlings are generally pretty harmless. They like to burrow into the sand so only their "Leaves" plant-like leaves remain above ground, and they're quite happy to stay that way until surprised. Then they pop up and trip over themselves a little, before slowing down and wandering aimlessly. When they find a patch of sand that looks comfy they begin burrowing back down.
Pull or yank on their leaves though and you'll find yourself with
a face full of pollen that makes you want to just tell everyone
how super-cool they are. It lasts a while, and then you get a fever and vomit for two hours. Good times.
The Cacti are much less harmless and just...why would you eat them? Everything about this plant is poisonous, and cracking it open causes a corrosive acid-like substance to spill out. It'll eat through everything but...dirt, oddly. Metals and flesh are like hot oil on plastic.
DON'T GET LOST
And last but not least: The Forgotten City. Maybe you want to check out the Hull first for some loot, but maybe that's not such a cool idea anymore? Although it looks like the ship's definitely more powered after draining the suits of whoever went in, now it's started to spread and fill the sinkhole the ship's in. Suits can go from 100% to 0% in just ten minutes--not good!
Lucky for everyone else, it looks like
finally there's
some sort of civilization up ahead. Go on and check it out!
OR DO. THAT'S OKAY TOO.
Go nuts, have fun, and enjoy! (This is the wildcard option)
OOC
The
Flora, Fauna & Resources page has been updated with information on the seedlings, cacti, and crystals! These items are now all available for
Discovery, and The
Forgotten City will be available indefinitely from now on! Characters can take this time to settle & build up a foundation for themselves, explore the area, and of course, harass those poor little seedlings.
We encourage players to make their own open posts for this setting--you don't need to stick to just this intro log! But make sure to make our newbies feel welcome!

Space science, probably. You gonna feel that up too now?
no subject
[ If Inui was looking for an answer to that question, he probably gets it right now. As in. Zack's totally feeling something up. It just happens to be his own suit now because IT IS BEYOND SUPER HYPER COOL RAD OKAY. IT IS PRETTY EFFIN SWEET. ]
What in the hell is this even made of? It feels pretty slick!
no subject
Like I said, space-science! Probably. Who even knows after the crap we've been through here so far, hahaha!
[ He wants to immortalize this moment forever. Weirdly buff puppy dog of a man, feeling himself up. A day to remember fondly, always. ]
no subject
[ Mind you, he's asking this while he's still feeling himself up. Because, of course, he would.
He might have just clapped his hands on his own ass right then and muttered a, 'Damn, this really brings out your assets! Haha! Get it? Assets?'
Zack needs an adult.]no subject
Oh, you know.... Suit-eating bugs that can paralyze you with their bite, explosions, deadly sandstorms...
[ ALL THAT SORTA STUFF ]
no subject
Sounds like just your regular old mission to me!
[ BUT WAIT. He looks back at Inui almost too dramatically! ] Wait, you're saying you fought through all those things!?
[ Zack, are you even listening. ]
no subject
Kinda? I didn't fight the giant bug, or even technically fight... But I did nearly get blown up. That was fun. I'm probably gonna have a scar or something later.
[ He'd been caught in the temple by flying debris and while there's still a scab, it's healing and likely will leave a bit of a scar. ]
no subject
[ Now, you really have his attention. As in now he's back up in that personal space. Inspecting that scab all too closely. Seriously, it almost looks like his eyeball's gonna touch it with how close he is.
But just as suddenly as he's there, he's pulling back and pointing at it excitedly. ] That's gonna be a really cool one! I can see it right now! It'll be just as cool as this one!
[ And there's Zack shamelessly pointing to his own on his cheek. ] See? This is the cool place to get one! Not like Kuns! He got one on his ass!
[ Ass, thigh. Details. ]
no subject
It's one thing to impose on others yourself, but completely different when it's the other way around. ]
...On his ass, huh. [ Inui is an ass/thigh man Zack you can't dissuade him ]
no subject
He also might now be pointing at his own ass in emphasis. ] See? Right here! Not a very cool spot!
no subject
Did you say dragon? As in, fire-breathing, tons of scales? Flies?
no subject
You've never seen one before? You look like a guy that could slay one with your looks alone!
