MINI-EVENT ★ WELCOME/RESCUE PARTY

[futurologists]

WELCOME/RESCUE PARTY The temporal insects have all either been squished or hopped into another dimension and all of Oska's inhabitants have gone back to their (relatively) normal selves. However, they didn't leave before chewing through some of the rift magitek, causing the new arrivals to end up in a slightly less safe place than the castle. The new Audentes recruits are dropped right at the edge of this pocket universe in the untamed forest. It's easy to lose your way in here, and to make it even harder, it's dark and storming. Going off without a buddy or two isn't recommended; you may walk in circles for hours. Meanwhile, a select few recruits receive a frantic message from Dagny begging for their help in locating these members and bringing them safely home, promising a reward in return. The forest is home to a whole host of unusual creatures, some friendly, some not. While you're avoiding a run-in with them, you'll also have to be careful not to step into the pockets of distorted reality left behind in the temporal insects' wake. Each pocket seems to be from the time before Oska was ALASTAIR's HQ, when it was still just a crumbling universe. The feelings and sensations are vivid; the earthquakes feel very real, as does the falling debris, so watch your head. When everyone has returned safely to the castle, Dagny will be waiting with the promised rewards. Each established recruit who participated in the rescue and all the newcomers will receive two bracelets, both made of a thin gold chain, and the instructions to give the extra to somebody close to them to tighten their bond. OOC NOTES Established recruits are entrusted with diving into the forest and bringing the newbies back to safety. Once they have, everyone is welcome to get situated in Oska until the next mission starts. Characters aren't required to give their second bracelet away, but those who do (or have their bracelet stolen/lost/found) will find that the moment both bracelets are slipped on, they'll share a significant memory of theirs with the other wearer and vice versa. This is a one-time effect and will not work after the first time, even with different wearers. Please note again that this log occurs after the temporal bugs have been cleared out. Due to the OOC extension of the previous event as well as this mini-event, the IC time between the bug extermination and the start of the mission has been extended past the 24 hours stated in the dossier to around half a week. As a reminder, this log is open to newcomers and those who signed up on the OOC post only.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks love! [ Whether it's obvious or not, she shoots her a smile. But she's more worried for the random creatures lurking about in these parts. It's probably a good thing she found her before trouble came around. She'll lead the way in the meantime. ]

Soo.. what are you exactly? If you don't mind my asking, that is. [ She gestures to the horns and, well, fins. ]

[fintastic]

I am a troll, what else would I be? What are you?

[ She knows exactly what a human is, but she's trying to make a point here. She follows along, hefting her trident over her shoulder a little more casually. ]

[zipped]

Well, human of 'course! I'm sure the chronal accelerator throws people off, but I'm definitely human.

[ There's a gesture to the glowing device on her chest before she's cupping her chin curiously. ] Troll, huh? Never seen any face to face before!

[fintastic]

I didn't really notice it, to be honest...

[ Well, she did, but it was just some glowy thing that didn't really seem particularly significant. Maybe some kind of flashlight to help navigate the woods? She knows that humans can't see in the dark. ]

I have never seen a human face to face before! Everything else aside, it is kind of... exciting! [ Wait. ] You really haven't seen any other trolls though?

[zipped]

So that makes two of us then. [ Which she grins. They're both experiencing a first then, yeah? But she should probably cover up that light as they go deeper into the woods- don't want to attract any creatures. ]

Nope, can't say I have. There's probably some back in Oska but I haven't met any. At least, I don't think I have. [ Chances she may have on the network but none face to face at least. ]

[fintastic]

Huh... that's kind of weird...

[ There should be plenty of trolls here, it would be hard not to see at least one besides herself. Unless...

Oh, did she not know yet? Feferi can't really get a good look at her face, but all the same, ger fins pin back in momentary sympathy, and she offers a smile. ]

How much farther is it, again?
