Who: Rob, Paarthurnax, anyone else
Open: Open
When: idk sometime earlier in the week maybe?
Where: Between the entrance and the Dragonfield, then the Dragonfield
What: Rob no
Format: Any
Warnings: Blood, animal death, metafictional cultural appropriation, confused grandpadragon, poor life choices, Rob what the hell were you thinking you could've died!

( Private pre-post stuff )
Rob makes a bee-line for the Dragonfield upon returning to the Bastion, but if anyone's around he's kind of hard to miss, being covered in blood and lugging a large bundle wrapped in an elk pelt with a pair of antlers sticking out of it. If one can look past that, they may notice that he's moving more confidently than normal and seems to be in a pretty good mood.

"Hey, Paarthurnax? Can I ask you a small favor?"

Who: Rob, anyone
Open: Open
When: Day 337, afternoon
Where: Wherever in the Bastion Zuko's battle drills are being held.
What: Battle drills! Also Rob's still not the greatest fighter and no one was surprised.
Format: Any

Zuko wants everyone who can fight to get some practice fighting alongside one another. So presumably everyone who can fight is getting some practice fighting alongside one another. This post is where everyone who can fight is practicing fighting alongside one another.

Who: Rob, anyone
Open: Open
When: Day 329
Where: Between the library and the cottages
What: A new building has appeared, and it's kind of spiky.
Format: Will match
Warnings: Nerdiness

So there's a new building in town, located between the library and the cottages. It looks similar to this one, although since it's not embedded in a cliff face all five sides are accessible and it has five spikes on the roof instead of three. The main door is smaller than in the picture, though still large enough for all non-dragon residents to comfortably use, but there's also a larger closed pair of doors at the rear. This sign next to the main entrance might give passerby an idea of what the building's function is, but the door is open and Rob's inside, so taking a closer look is certainly an option.

Inside is a rather cramped space with an elaborate touchscreen computer console to either side of the door and a counter with various pieces of equipment on it straight ahead. Currently there's also a figurine of a wolf holding an odd-looking arm in its jaws sitting on the counter, eyes glowing red, a small stack of Rob's alchemy books, and an open book that a machine is turning the pages of as if reading it. Above the counter is a clear partition, through which can be seen some complicated machines in operation which some might be able to recognize as being for printing and binding books.

Rob is sitting on one of two deerskin-covered swivel chairs and tapping away at one of the consoles, but he turns when you appear in the door, squares of gauze still taped on his cheek and shoulder.

"Welcome to the print shop. Any books from Earth you've been looking for?"

Where: Northern Bastion + wherever
What: Everyone comes back from the Ura camp. They have a core, but they also have some very bad news.
Format: action
Warnings: dead character within

[Late on Day 322, getting closer to evening, the group finally returns from the Ura camp. Vee and Zee have been left behind, as they were going home anyway, but there are a few changes to the rest of the party.

First off, there are two new people, but they don't look particularly happy to be here. They are also being watched closely by at least a couple of the group of Bastion people.

Secondly, only seven of the eight who left are returning from this trip alive.]

dragonsorcsandwolves

Who: Anyone. Rob if you want him, but there are more interesting things than him here.
Open: Open
When: Backdated to Day 317
Where: The northeastern part of the Bastion
What: The Bastion has a forest now
Format: Whatever you want. If you're threading with Rob I'll match.

So guess what? The Bastion has a forest now. A rather big forest, with white birch, cork oak, sugar maple, black locust, and European beech mixed together on the flat areas and white cedar and Sitka spruce mixed on the hills, a number of the Sitka spruces being at their maximum size already: 300 feet tall and 15 feet in diameter at breast height. You could make a really awesome treehouse up in there. Or a small elven village. There are trails running through the forest and a few clearings of various sizes. Most of the clearings are small ones centered on plants that other people have brought in, allowing them to still get enough light, but there are three larger ones: one around the phonebooth, one in the gap between two hills and running up against a cliff face, and one to the south next to the river. Away from the trails and clearings the canopy closes in overhead to block the light and the trunks of the trees line up to block the view, making it possible to actually get lost despite the forest not being that big.

If for some reason you're more interested in a nerd than the new forest, Rob can be encountered wandering the trails for a bit, but you're more likely to find him in the southern clearing by the river, lying on his back in cargo shorts with his sandals next to him and using his shirt as a pillow. He's basically claiming this clearing for himself. He hadn't realized how relaxing this could be until now.

Who: Rob, anyone
Open: Open
When: Day 311
Where: Everywhere, then Colin's workshop
What: An invitation to learn how to make healing potions.
Format: Will match
Warnings: None?

[So remember that capability the amulets have to broadcast a message to every amulet in the Bastion at once? And remember this guy, who is probably near the bottom of everyone's list on who's most likely to ever use this function? Someone go check if Ibuki made some flying pigs or something, because Rob's making a broadcast here.]

Hey, uh, this is Rob. I've, uh. [A pause, then continuing in a way that's recognizable as someone reading from a script.] So I've been working on teaching myself alchemy using the plants and animals that Paarthurnax has brought in, and I've finally figured out how to make healing potions. I've been thinking that it would probably be a good idea for multiple people to be able to make them, just in case something happens to me or the healers, so I'm wondering if anyone would like to learn how to make them themselves. I wouldn't say it's particularly hard, it just takes some patience and attention to detail. If you're interested in me teaching you, come over to the workshop and bring something to take notes with if you think they'd be helpful.

[A relieved gasp for breath at the end is cut off when Rob ends the broadcast.]

[Sure enough, Rob can be found anxiously waiting outside the workshop. He nods when you walk up.]

You here for the, uh, for the learning about making potions?

( For Paarthurnax )

For Everyone Else

There's a tough-looking long-haired man walking around in mammoth-hide sandals, cargo shorts, a tank top, and a rabbit skull and leg bones strung out on a necklace around his neck, the faint blue glow of a shard coming from each eye socket. He's clinking slightly as he walks, which may be related to the bulges in the cargo pockets of his shorts. Whether you've seen him around before or not, if you want to talk to him now's a perfect opportunity.

Who: Paarthurnax and you
Open: Open
When: 288
Where: About the Bastion in general
What: The daily life of a dragon
Format: Any
Warnings: None yet

Life goes on in the Bastion. Whether death, calamity, or simple misfortune, that is how things work. That is how it goes for Paarthurnax, as well.

In the morning, when the sun is still faint, he takes off to the Skyway and doesn't return for some hours, bringing back both shards stuck in his teeth and the meat of a mammoth to eat, or share.

In the noon and some hours following it, he teaches his class at the stone tablet with its letters in his own tongue, patient and careful for both new students and more practiced ones alike.

The only change to this seems to come in the evening. It's then that people might notice him at the Monument, drawn up high as he sits and inspects the device.

People are free to talk with him during any of these times. Paarthurnax has always made it known that he can be approached, after all.

fireburn

Who: Azula & anyone
Open: Open
When: Day 285
Where: Northern Bastion
What: Azula arrives in Bastion.
Format: bracket-action but happy to match
Warnings: n/a for now.

[Azula was angry. Whether or she actually believed that her world had been destroyed, blah blah blah was a different question entirely. It all sounded crazy (this whole world sounded crazy - maybe it was all just one giant hallucination and that's a terrifying thought), but more importantly she had better things to do. If this was some kind of spirit-world shenanigan, she wanted no part in it. She had been in the middle of something important, damn it.

Which is why, naturally, she gets herself quickly and fairly easily from the Skyway to Bastion. If anyone was capable of figuring it out, it was her. And when she's on a mission to get to the bottom of something, that drive can move mountains.

When she questions the person who told her about this "calamity" she doesn't get answers she wants and sets a tree on fire in retribution, but the action is...oddly taxing? And for the first time in her career she actually feels like it's difficult to firebend which angers her more, RIP patches of grass.

Since all of that is clearly getting her nowhere she proceeds to go question anyone who is around in the most tactful and personable way possible:]

You there! Tell me what is going on here immediately.

Who: Zuko and anyone
Open: Open!
When: Day 277
Where: Near the river
What: BABBY DRAGON
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Honor

It's been a few days since Zuko paid a visit to the Monument for some personal purchases. Most of those were swiftly hidden away inside her house, although the faint sounds of music the past few evenings might have given one of them away.

She's much less secretive about her final purchase. She's had to be, really, because it was in fact a gigantic egg, and she hasn't let that thing out of her sight for a moment. This doesn't mean that she's given up any of her usual activities, aside from Skyway trips, but even while she's training or at the pool it's always been sitting nearby wrapped in a blanket.

But today's the day. She's just finishing up her training routine on the Bastion side of the river when she hears something stirring inside. She immediately crouches down to watch with rapt attention as something slowly emerges: a baby red dragon, serpentine and nearly the length of her arm.

This is the moment where all her doubts come back to her because she has never so much as seen a baby dragon before much less taken care of one. What do.

((Feel free to run into her pre- or post-hatching, and anywhere in the general vicinity of the lake!))
