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.]

Who: Zulf and you
Open: Open
When: Day 287
Where: The edge of the Bastion
What: Zulf is available for heckling. At least his pipe still loves him.
Format: Any
Warnings: Zulf's various issues

There aren't many places in the Bastion where one can be properly alone, save barring their own chosen place of residence. So what happens, then, when one properly botches up the relations with their own housemates?

Zulf takes the bare minimum of his things and takes up one of the apartment rooms, just for a short while so that Zia can have her space. Staying and letting himself stare at a ceiling does him no good, however, and, come evening, anyone looking can see his figure seated on the edge of the Bastion with smoke filling up the air and his gaze focused solely on the abyss beneath them all.

bastionpc

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.

Who: Erek King and anyone!
Open: Wide open!
When: Day 247
Where: anywhere in the Bastion
What: An android arrives and skulks about hidden behind holograms before saying hello.
Format: prose preferred, but I'll match either!
Warnings: none

Erek's holographic emitter isn't projecting when he becomes aware he isn't home. That is already worrying, even before he takes in his surroundings while raising the illusion of a human boy around himself. An expression of relief flickers across the holographic face, thousands of years making shifts in expression a well-founded habit. His emitters aren't down, at least.

This isn't Earth, though, and it's the most bizarre planet Erek has ever visited. As he takes a step, the ground shifts around him, creating a path on which to walk. ...Interesting, if concerning. He doesn't think it's based on magnetism. The planet itself probably isn't sentient either. It's a matter for later investigation, though. There are more pressing concerns.

He sees a light in the distance that looks promising and replaces his human hologram with one of invisibility, blending into his surroundings. Erek will wait until he sees what species inhabit the planet and do his best to blend in. He sets off toward the Bastion.

When he arrives, Erek stays out of sight until anyone comes into view. He plans on taking up an appropriate hologram as soon as he's gauged the people well enough. Of course, should anyone human-shaped be present, it's easy enough to duck behind the edge of a building and emerge as Erek King, a fairly unremarkable teenage boy. He assumes that no one will see through his camouflage in the meantime. It hasn't happened so far, his emitters sufficiently advanced that it would take a very specialized sort of eyesight to see anything through the illusion.

Who: Paarthurnax, Tobias, Anyone else who wants to watch
Open: Open
When: Day 236
Where: The Dragonfield
What: Two dragons playing Jenga
Format: Any
Warnings: Silliness. Watch for falling logs.

They aren't perfect Jenga blocks - all Rob did was knock down the cubic oak tree 54 times and peel the bark off of the resulting logs, leaving smooth-ish "blocks" that are 15 feet long and one foot square - but it's doubtful that anyone will really mind at this point. Because they're now stacked in a tower in the Dragonfield, three to a level, ready for the resident dragon and two-hour-guest-dragon to have a game. Or try. Rob's already admitted (several times) that he has no idea how well this will work - the blocks aren't even remotely the right dimensions, they aren't as smooth as real blocks, each level has large gaps due to the dimensions of each block, the weight of the blocks at this scale might be enough to make it impossible to remove one from the bottom of the stack - but Paarthurnax and Tobias were willing to give it a try anyways, so here they are.

And here everyone else is, far away from the tower so that they won't be crushed by falling logs.

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?]

Who: Zulf, Tobias, and Zuko... plus a lot of Ura
Open: Closed
When: 220
Where: Out at the Skyway
What: Time for a return trip to visit the only other group of survivors they know of.
Format: Action
Warnings:

[And just like that, the days have all passed. It's time to go back.]

[Zulf tries very hard not to think too much on it, lest he go into another panic- something he's determined not to do this time. Tobias is the only reoccurring member besides himself, so as they get closer, Zulf relies on him to tell them if anything is amiss as he looks back to their newest addition Zuko.]

Please remember- no threatening movements even if they make any. It's only natural that they will likely to be wary considering your last encounter with them. If we're actually attacked, that's another matter entirely.

I'll hand over the shard amulets to them first so that they can all understand you before doing a proper introduction.

Who: Paarthurnax and Tobias
Open: Closed
When: 218 (backdated)
Where: Out on the Skyway
What: To be a dragon is a difficult thing.
Format: log, action, etc.
Warnings: Probably a high probability of violence

It's taken some time for Paarthurnax to scout the perfect place for what they seek to accomplish. In his world, it was a rare sort that could take on his kinds form. There were Daedra, often mocking of his father and mimicking him with such in mind. There were those who had such blood flowing through their veins and which could call upon it in great stress, such as one particular king in Tamriel's lands.

This was a different case, and Paarthurnax could not deny it intrigued him. However, he knew that there was always a chance that things could go... wrong.

The instincts of dragons were powerful things.

Still, after some searching, he found a portion of the skyway that was decently large enough and a good distance from the Bastion as well. It's there he lands one day, settling on the earth and looking for his much smaller and feathered companion.

spiria

Who: Kohaku Hearts, YOUUUUU.
Open: Open
When: Day 220 (late afternoon/early evening)
Where: The Kitchen and then around the Bastion
What: COOKIES.
Format: I will match to you!
Warnings: Lots of nummy cookie goodness.

[ in the kitchen ]

Kohaku had been spending a lot of time with Shing. So, naturally, she was in a pretty good mood.

And, in her good mood, she'd made a decision. She was going to do something nice for the residents of this place. She knew not everyone was in as good of a mood as she was, and while she couldn't do too much to help with that, she could at least do something. After talking with Rin a little about it, she decided she was going to use the resources the kitchen gave her to make a whole bunch of cookies for the residents of the Bastion.

She'd already made one batch of chocolate chip cookies and set them out to cool while she worked on making another batch.

Oh, and be rest assured, everyone.

She didn't put miso in them.

( feel free to come bug her while she makes cookies! )

[ around the Bastion ]

After making several batches of cookies, Kohaku managed to pack them all up enough so that she could go out into the Bastion and give cookies to the people she hadn't seen already while she was in the process of making them. Everyone needs cookies!

So, whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you will likely be greeted with a smiling face today.

"Hello! Would you like some cookies?"

Who: Paarthurnax and you
Open: Open
When: Day 215, morning and afternoon
Where: Across the river from Dragonfield
What: Dragon lessons are best held in groups, don't you know? Plus, a survey.
Format: Any
Notes: The two separate situations, for sake of ease, will be in two different top threads. Consider the dovahzul group a sort of mingle! Get to know your fellow students better.

In the time between morning and noon, Paarthurnax settles down by the river of Dragonfield where the usual stone tablet depicting all the letters of dovahzul is. It's a recognizable landmark, after all... Although he won't turn away new faces.

During the afternoon, anyone venturing nearby will be called to by the old dragon. Investigate?

fuckthemancers

Who: Zulf, some birds and a Pokemon, and you
Open: Open (and a couple closed)
When: 214, midday
Where: By the Monument
What: In which things are written out, birds are a nuisance, and visits are made for numerous reasons
Format: Any
Note: Some time ago, Seimei asked Zulf to write down things about the world the Calamity originated in, aka Caelondia and the Tazal Terminals. Since this information is available to everyone (although written in Caelondian and Ura), you can consider this post as a reference! It's also available as a request sort of thing, if you or your characters have any inquiries about culture, technology, or lore about either place. It'd also help me out with what to write for Seimei (and the mun of Seimei) since, when asked where to start, his IC answer was basically "everything".

----------

Ever since returning from the sudden expedition a week or so ago, Zulf has been quiet. Not completely and utterly silent, like he's become on occasion- just quiet. There's been a lot of things to think about.

Today, however, at least he's out in public, seated by the Monument. There are papers by him, things written in both Caelondian and the Ura language. There's also some sketches of different outfits alongside them. He's steadily working on both.

Anyone is more than welcome to come over and investigate...

Assuming the large group of Rattle-tails doesn't try to swarm towards them first. Yes, they're here too, a mix of sizes. Yes, there's a tiny little Cubone on top of one of them, waving its bone around energetically. Don't worry, Zulf will give a sharp whistle when they start to swarm and they... should back off before anyone gets slammed into by a giant white bird.

Open: Open!
When: Day 210, morning
Where: Near the monument
What: More weird animals.
Format: I'll match
Warnings: Honor

Anyone outside this morning might run across Zuko looking over a small flock (or is it a herd?) of ostrich horses. That's right, she's at last used some of her shards to bring more strange animals into the Bastion. The turtle ducks were not enough.

She's touched, used, even eaten things that came from shards, but none of them have been familiar until now. She thought there might have been something to give them away as copies or imitations, but as far as she can tell? They're perfectly normal ostrich horses.
