[Someone has been busy today. The kitchen and Distillery has been noisy and bustling, a departure from the much more quiet days when the illness was spreading through the Bastion and survival was once more on the uncertain scale of things. Somewhere around the time that the night cycle begins, when the sky is more of an orange-ish glow fading in to blue and purple, a large spread of food has been set up near the Distillery with glass lanterns hanging overhead.

Just like any other time there has been a feast be it random or planned, there is a wide selection of food on the covered, decorated tables. There's even meat this time! And yes, Aoi, your doughnuts have been transferred from your trees to a platter on the table. There's even a section for Paar, complete with massive amounts of bbq'd mammoth meat! You can thank Colin for that.

There's really no announcement for the feast, but chances are if you're outside at any point today you'll see the progress towards the set up, or smell the delicious scents wafting over the Bastion. (There might even be music playing, if Colin finds a way to provide it!)

Either way, come dusk food will be ready and mingling will be had!]

(ooc: Standard mingle log right here. Throw your threads up, poke other people's threads, and eat all the food!)

At least you have a plan for it then. Many would go in to those situations without much of anything except a hope that they'll make it through the other side.

[Ditto is hard to forget.]

<Well, we do that too.>

[He laughs a little bit mentally.]

... some how I'm not all that surprised. Heroes regularly act recklessly. But if it works I suppose I can hardly argue against it.

<Ax is the only one of us who had previous military experience, and even then he'd only had a little. So winging it ->

[... Hah. He made a pun by accident.]

<- is basically all we know.>

[Bird puns]

That is a common theme in a lot of fictional works in my world. Young teenagers who have no prior experience being the ones responsible for saving the world. They rarely ever go in to the toll it takes on the people that become burdened with that responsibility, though.

I can't imagine it was ever easy for you, with that in mind.

<It's not, but we do what we can.>

[He'll figure out some way to get back. He has to.]

What will you do now, though? The worlds are gone, as far as we know. All we've been left with is broken remnants.

They might still be out there... but I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. Just as many have been turned to ash.

[Like his sisters.]

<I've seen time travel before. Maybe we can get it to work. Hopefully without killing everyone.>

It isn't impossible, but it's still risky.

The difference between life and death.

<There's always that risk anyway.>

I suppose. I've never been much of a risk taker.

I'm aware. I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to start being reckless, though.

<True. I guess I've been hanging around Rachel too much.>

Some one important to you I take it?

<... Yeah. I care about her a lot. But she's definitely the most reckless of my friends.>

Having at least one reckless friend seems to be a common thing among groups of people. Especially ones that take on such heavy responsibilities.

[That actually earned a surprising chuckle from N.]

In that case, we're all doomed.

That does seem to be the hand we've been dealt in this place, for better or worse. It makes my previous life seem so much more sheltered in light of that.
