Who: Bon and YOU
Open: Open
When: Day 294
Where: around the Bastion
What: Remember that time Zulf said that thing about time travel? Yeah, Bon's been thinking about that too much.
Format: action to start, will match you
Warnings: none so far

[In the days since finding out that apparently Zulf and a few others have all experienced this before, Bon has been unusually quiet. He's been thinking way too much about the possibility of time travel, and the chance to go back and fix things.

But he's not sure if what he thinks is honestly the right choice, so. He's going to go around asking people. To get a general opinion.

So yeah on day 294 Bon will be approaching characters to ask them about it all.]

So what do you think, about this whole 'time travel' thing?

Who: Anyone and everyone
Open: Open
When: Early morning on Day 225
Where: Everywhere in the Bastion
What: Remember how cores used to be a thing? Yeah, they're still important.
Format: any
Warnings: terrible modpuns

[Early in the morning on Day 225, most people are probably asleep. For the couple of stragglers who may still be awake so late, though, they may notice something strange. At 2:31 am, any lights that are on start to hum, and flicker in and out of dimness.

At 2:32 am, every light in the Bastion (excluding the emergency lights) shuts off entirely.

At 2:33 am, a horrible grinding noise can be heard throughout the Bastion, seemingly coming from everywhere at once. This sound continues on for several minutes, throughout everything else that begins to happen.

At 2:34 am, for anyone outside Nathaniel can be seen running from the Apartments towards the Monument as if his life depended on it.

At 2:35 am, ever so slowly, sections of the Bastion begin to sink.

What do you do?]

kyotoprincess

Who: Bon and anyone else
Open: Open
When: Day 221
Where: POOL
What: GOING SWIMMING
Format: action for the starter, but I'll go with whatever you want
Warnings: none

[SO.

Anyone who happens to be at the pool on Day 221 will see Bon there. Instead of his usual workout, he decided to go swimming.

If you catch him in the pool, he'll be swimming laps. Outside of the pool, he'll be sitting on the edge, dangling his feet over the side and into the water. The latter is probably a better time to go talk to him, actually.

Though racing him is also an option.]

WHO: Rin and Bon
OPEN: Closed
WHEN: Day 205
WHAT: It's finally time to go home.
WHERE: Tower Apartments
FORMAT: Prose
WARNINGS: Rin being herself, couple talking about being a couple (Don't look, Yukio)

( As long as I'm right here there's no need to try )

bastionpc

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

hellpyre

Who: ~~A dumbass teenage couple~~ Bon and Rinchan
Open: Closed
When: Day 190
Where: Tower Apartments
What: So Bon went a little trigger happy yesterday with a Bazooka courtesy of the other Okumura. Guess who gets frequent migraines even without repeated concussive explosions? Guess who has a migraine today? And guess who gets to take care of him?
Format: Action
Warnings: Again, Rin is a warning unto herself. Also for Yukio's sake: likely chance of non violent face contact.

( Walk in and close the gate )

kyotoprincess

Warnings: explosions

( Bon and Yukio get to play 'Bad Decisions Dinosaur' today. )

Who: Yukio and Rin Okumura. Possibly Bon later?
Open: Closed
When: Day 174
Where: The Skyway, in that convenient chunk of True Cross that's still lingering.
What: Siblings are reunited. Put on your hard hats, this can't possibly end well.
Format: Action
Warnings: Hurting of the brain meats. Probably language. And, of course, Rin.

( And all the gods and all the worlds began colliding on a backdrop of blue. )

Who: Anyone who wants to attend the funeral
Open: Open
When: Day 165
Where: Dragonfield (And other places)
What: It's time to say goodbye to the dead, and move on with the living. It's the Bastion's first funeral.
Format: Any
Warnings: Things normally associated with funerals: a (cleaned up but still) dead body, emotional reactions, potentially other things. Will be updated as needed.

Throughout the day, various residents of the Bastion will find themselves being approached by either Zulf or Serena. It's the latter who will offer more explanation, but Zulf will just take a deep breath and finally speak one word very quietly.

"Night."

That's right. It's time for the funeral.

fuckthemancers

Who: Zulf and you
Open: Open
When: Day 163
Where: Throughout the Bastion
What: Well, someone has to take up the kitchen work, and prepare Night's funeral, and write down the history and culture of two different cities...
Format: Anything
Warnings: Nothing immediately comes to mind, although it should be noted that Zulf is in a bad state mentally/emotionally so depending on the conversations, things could be described. Lemme know where you want to run into him!

As soon as he's able, Zulf leaves the hospital. It's not like he deserves to be there, after all, not with the dead, not with the injured. He's fine, isn't he? Besides... There's too much to do. So on the 163rd day of the Bastion's existence, feel free to run into him just about anywhere looking exhausted in nearly every way imaginable.

...Unless your name is Raile, Zia, Rucks, Colin, Rin, Zayna, Zahi, Nathaniel, or Rosethorn. In which case, seeing any of those individuals makes the man startle before immediately trying to find a way to leave the area before conversation can happen. Seriously, he will bolt if he has to, don't make him change from a quick walk.

Periodically throughout the day, Zulf can be found in the kitchens...

( And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today )

Sometime in the morning after breakfast, it's off to the the Hitachiin-Abe home.

( But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all )

Come night, well, that is traditionally the Lorn Mother's time. Anyone still awake... Well, there's a light on at the Shrine.

( Love is watching someone die )

Who: Rin and Bon
Open: Closed
When: Day 155, late night
Where: The water's edge, on the other side of the Dragonfield
What: Rin has been internalizing a lot of hurt, anger, upset and personal disappointment for months now, and it's only getting worse. Short emotional outbursts aren't doing much at all to help her, and people are starting to notice. Especially a certain some one...
Format: Action
Warnings: As always, Rin is a warning unto herself.

( nothing goes right not a trace of honesty )

bastionmods

Who: Zia, Zulf + the NPCs Nathaniel, Zanya, Zahi + YOU
Open: Open
When: Day 151
Where: Throughout the Bastion
What: Tension has fallen over the Bastion, and it's time to sort out truth and anger.
Format: Any
Warnings: Drama

A few days ago, some residents of the Bastion might have become aware of a confrontation happening at a certain Ura's humble abode. There was some yelling- although not clear- and the result was a very harried looking Rin Okumura forcibly dragging away resident Mancer Nathaniel. The next couple of days have been quiet, but today... Well, if anyone wants to ask about and see what the deal was, it seems like today is the day.

It seems like Nathaniel has finally quit his own self imposed isolation, if only so that he doesn't starve to death. Apparently anger can only sustain a man for so long. He can be seen storming through the Bastion, a thundercloud practically gathered about him, or at the eating area looking very much like he wants to be left alone.

Zulf has been less of a hermit. Anyone who has seen him since the argument has probably noticed his black eye and sore nose. He seems angry as well, although it's quieter and colder underneath all his civility. More noticeably, he's been hard at work building a few fences near the edges of the Bastion- mostly near his tent but also in other areas as well. They're not the best fences, but they're good enough, hopefully. You can approach him at the shrine, his tent, or anywhere, really... He's as available as he's always been. He might even approach you, just to warn about falling off the edge of the Bastion.

Seriously, this place has needed safety railings for ages now. Who's bright idea was it not to include safety railings? ~~RUCKS...~~

Anyone wandering by the Kitchens today will notice... Damn, that's a lot of yelling. And slamming of things. Should knives be used to chop that hard...? That's right, Rin is in a bad mood and anyone who comes near will immediately know it. The excess swearing is probably a good clue. Unlike the other two, she's unleashing her temper with wild abandon in the sanctity of her kitchen where no one will bug her. Well. Unless YOU bug her...

Of course, these three aren't the only ones noticeable about the Bastion today! It looks like the Ura residents are just coming out of the woodwork.

Anyone who's talked to either of the latest Ura additions knows that Zulf came in with Zia. While not involved with the row from a few days ago, she seems just as worried as Zulf seems angry. It's possible to see her wandering about with her pet Pecker chick. Might see her coming away after a discussion with Zulf, too... Maybe she knows what's going on?

There's also Zanya and her father Zahi who have been apparently a bit more sociable these last few days. There's apparently a subject they're both interested in which they'll approach people about, although they'll do so differently. Zahi will strike up friendly conversation, but Zanya will simply get right to the point: do you have any idea what happened?

Feel free to strike up conversation with any of them, or even try and talk to everyone if you wish.

[ooc: This is your characters chance to investigate just what the drama is all about! In such a small place as the Bastion, it's a bit hard to miss... Feel free to have your characters speculate or gossip with the Ura NPCs about what may have happened or if they caught onto a sliver of what happened (like Zulf and Nathaniel falling off the edge of the Bastion), or for them to go the more direct route by talking to either Nathaniel, Zulf, Rin, or Zia.]

[Long story short is that Rin went to get Venn's journal from Nathaniel. Upon realizing who exactly wanted it, Nathaniel went to confront Zulf. There was an argument on just who and what caused the Calamity... and then Nat punched Zulf in the face, they rolled off the edge of the Bastion, and Rin separated them after they got blown back up.]

[As a reminder! Mod Mandy plays NPC!Nathaniel and NPC!Zahi. Mod Jeni plays NPC!Zanya and Rin. Birdmod James plays Zulf. Helpful player Courtney plays Zia. We'll all get to you on our own individual time, and as soon as possible! Just make sure it's clear in your post who your character is approaching.]

Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 123
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Obligatory "We just got more people/survived a hellish experience" mingle log!
Format: Your choice!
Warnings: Shouldn't be any?

[So the past few days in the Bastion have been very hectic and a little more than emotionally stressful for everyone. About two days have come and gone since the last very large batch of arrivals have come in to the Bastion, and thankfully since then it's been relatively quiet. It's a good time to compress, meet some new people and maybe have some good food at the distillery courtesy of Rin.]

wayofvoice

Who: Paarthurnax OR Aoi, and you!
Status: Open
When: Day 114, towards the 'evening'
Where: The Bastion
What: Two new arrivals make their way in. One of them is a cute teenage girl. The other is a giant dragon.

[Sometime towards the end of Day 114, a few people watching the Skyway might notice something very big making its way towards the Bastion. Big and airborne, for that matter. It's upon the Bastion in very little time, an enormous wyvern if you want to be technical and simply dragon if you don't. When it lands at the entrance to the Bastion, the earth shakes a bit and it lowers its head...]

[Huh, that sure is a cute teenage girl seated on its neck.]

[Anyone particularly close might be able to hear a brief exchange between the two of them.]

Now we part ways. They would react better to you, I believe. Zu'u fen pek het. I will wait here.

Guess so, huh... Okay! We'll meet up later, then!

[With that, the girl sets off to investigate while the dragon waits near the Skyway as he observes from a distance.]

[Who do you approach?]
