Event: Day 265 [OPEN]
Who: Several NPCs and you
Open: Open
When: Day 265
Where: The Bastion in general
What: Everyone adjusting to the new land, plus some bad news from Nathaniel.
Format: action
Warnings: Lnone
[First, the good news: everyone came back more or less alive and well, and they had a core! After some deliberation, eventually it was decided upon that adding more land to the Bastion (as well as improving the efficiency of power use in the Bastion, so that the extra land is not a strain on the already limited power) is the best use of this Core.
Once the core has been integrated into the Bastion, the land expanse is almost immediate. Several chunks of the nearby Skyway (monster-free, thankfully) attach themselves to the Bastion, nearly doubling the available land. In addition to the flat plains, lake, river, and hills, there is much more flat land, and a few sharp peaks (nowhere near tall enough to be actual mountains, but they are made of rock and have the same jagged edges and steep inclines that a mountain would have) have attached themselves to the north-eastern side of the Bastion.
In addition, several empty buildings have sprung up in the south and western parts of the Bastion, along with a large empty area clearly left open for tents or more structures. With all of the new land and buildings, the Bastion should be able to hold several hundred residents comfortably. Provided the people could be found to fill those spaces, the Bastion could be a small town now!
But today is not entirely a day of good news. Around midday, Nathaniel calls a meeting by the monument to discuss some things, and he doesn't look happy at all.]
Okay guys, I'm just going to be honest here. We've got some trouble brewing.
For starters, I haven't been able to pick up the energy signal from that other core. Either it's been buried, or it fell off the Skyway, or something else got to it. It may come up later, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Along with that, we've got another mess on our hands now. Remember that group of Ura that you guys have been talking to? Well, they left this letter in the place where we leave written communication with them. Zahi translated it for me, and long story short, their crops failed and they're asking us for help.
We can give them supplies, but the farm doesn't grow enough to feed both us and them. If we found another core we could expand the farms to make it feasible, but there's no telling when we'll find another core. Our other option is to start growing our own farms on top of what the automated farm grows for us, but that won't actually help for several weeks, even months. They could possibly starve by the time that pays off. There's also the problem of how to get the sheer volume of food they need out to where they are. Their numbers are about equal to ours, and it's not a trip we could make every day, and most foods would spoil by the time we got it to where they are, so that's something to keep in mind too.
As near as I can tell, we can either help them out until they can grow more food, or we can ignore the request and let them fend for themselves. If any of you guys have another idea of what to do, we can discuss it.
I'll leave the decision up to you guys, but whatever you choose, make the decision quick, so that whatever you decide to do can be put into motion as soon as possible.

Think of it like how different countries don't always get along, and sometimes they might go to war with each other, and how two countries just ended a war not too long ago but now one country needs the help of the one they had been fighting with.

Politics is so not Ibuki's thing! Who knows what might happen if Ibuki makes a suggestion?
Suddenly, uwah! Terrible things everywhere! If only they hadn't listened to Ibuki!!!

I think if you offered really terrible ideas, someone would tell you that. But you seem like a good enough person that your ideas wouldn't be that bad anyway.

Ibuki's brain to mouth filter, it's damaged! Broken! She says things without thinking! Could you imagine her trying to be political with a thing like that? Imagine it, imagine!
Here, Ibuki will demonstrate!
"Excuse me, Urarara-chans! We come bearing gifts of donut trees and other funny things! In exchange, please don't destroy our everything! We need that!"
Whoops!

Knowing what is bad to say doesn't fix Ibuki's filter! It's like chocolate chip jerky, it's just weird and delicious!
