❪ event ❫ THE DESCENT: PART TWO.
JULY 16th: THE MORNING AFTER
In the early morning, your characters' phones will buzz with a text from an Unknown ID. It contains an audio file as well as its transcription:
INTO THE WOODS ![]() Head east, Darma said— and so you do. That seems to be all you can do. Traversing through woods is not a simple task. Hopefully you have taken advantage of the camouflage outfits offered prior to the start of this great migration. Naturally, for those of you who have done the training modules, some things will be a bit familiar. Some wildlife will mimic what you've seen there. Nevertheless, it'll be crucial for one to keep on guard. While Sael selected the Outlook as the ideal place for landing due to its direct removal from Olympian or Wyver soil, it doesn't come without its own dangers as you venture east. Perhaps it's time to face your fears.
ENTER: OLYMPIA'S WEST OUTPOST ![]() After a full day of travelling, you finally make it to the West Outpost as Darma instructed. You can tell by the way the trail gets neater, flatter. There are some small shops all along the sides of the road, offering trinkets, precious stones, and food. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have the money to purchase anything. The only thing you can do is watch wearily as you approach the West Outpost Gate. Near the gate, you're expected to form a line. The guardsmen seem to be inspecting every person entering. When it's finally your turn, the guardsman seem to know exactly what group you are. He immediately calls you Refugees, then proceeds to open a folder specifically labeled Refugee Group D. You might assume the "D" stands for Darma. He seems to be happy to see your arrival — Anyway, we've been expecting you. You're in luck! You refugees arrived the day after Thesa's blessing, y'know? That meteor shower was a sight to behold! ![]() It seems now you are an official Olympian citizen with this passport. As you walk around, there will be an old man about. He sees you holding your bags and passports and approaches you. He has seen the fiasco in the skies from the day before. Naturally, he believes it to be a divine sign, and you the product of that. Which translates to free food. It must be relieving to eat (relatively) normal food after so long. There's also a very special visitor at the Outpost today: a woman by the name of Lysa, who happens to be a renowned healer in Olympia. Following the strange meteor shower, she’s come out of the city and into the outskirts to see it all for herself, this divine phenomenon brought upon by Thesa. While she has no explanation for the sudden occurrence, she stays, because she can sense that her services are needed. Healthy characters will taken by the hand and brought to a wounded fellow refugee. Lysa will then urge them to stay by that refugee’s side, to care for them. Please, do not go. I need a little of your compassion and patience. Characters who answer Lysa's pleas will be given a small vial of Proliferation Elixir as a token of gratitude. It's good for one-time use. NIGHTFALL AT THE WEST OUTPOST ![]() As dusk approaches, bustling Outpost quiets down as the flea shops pack up their things to go home. But it seems this outpost is not one that simply sleeps at night. Thesa is high on the skies when the Outpost square lights up. There's music, dancing, and laughter. They seem to encourage you to join them as well. "This celebration is for you! Come, join us!" Perhaps their enthusiasm is infectious enough for you to succumb to it; perhaps you don't understand at all why they're this happy after the hell you went through to get here. It's not like you can tell them what the "meteor shower" actually had been. At least they offer free alcoholic drinks and a great feast similar to those you remember from home. You may find that the drinks are far stronger than any alcohol you've ever had, but it taste like a typical cocktail, or whiskey/scotch/vodka/your flavor drink. Nothing particularly special until you make your way back to the inn. Let's hope you won't walk into the wrong room. FINAL OOC NOTE
This is PART TWO of our three-part intro event. PART THREE will be up on JULY 22ND, at 6 PM EST. In the event of CAPTCHA, we will be providing an overflow. In the event of a second CAPTCHA, players are advised to move threads to an overflow post on their character journals. These threads remain eligible for AC, AC Rewards, and REP.
The NETWORK is still down. Characters may still message each other's personal IC inboxes. REMEMBER TO USE COMMUNITY TAGS. RECOMMENDED LISTENING: Nocturn OOC PLOTTING may be continued here.

hunting
It's the whimpering which finally convinces her to take herself down in an arc that would dizzy any rollercoaster enthusiast. She lands in the grass before them without grace, impact creating a crater in the earth, grass and mulch beneath her feet. Kara glances from the creature to him and back again, and then promptly reaches to take the injured animal into her arms. )
There you go, sweetie. It's all right. ( Her gaze drifts back to his, and her grip tightens upon his previous prey. ) You could at least be humane about it if you're going to hunt game.
no subject
[ Said calmly, a small smirk at the corner of his lips. He's seating himself casually as he begins to dissect his other meals; there's no telling if it's for show or if that's how he truly feasts on his hunt, but he still somehow manages to appear graceful while doing it. There's something regal about the way he tears the meat from the skin. ]
no subject
Yeah, well. Neither am I. Obviously.
( Looking down at the bundle of fur in her arms, she can tell the wound's not a mortal one. Her eyes light up, and carefully, she emits a beam of energy warm enough to glow blue. She's got to control the temperature to avoid roasting the little guy alive by accident, and the acrid smell of burning flesh fills the air along with the sound of the animal's whimpers. But when she's through, he's squirming in her arms, and she smiles. )
I told you that it'd be all right. Go on now; I don't need a pet. ( Kara sets him down, and watches as it quickly scampers away before turning to give her apparent companion a look. ) Raw meat's got all kinds of parasites in it, you know.
Cooking it might be a good idea.
no subject
Evidently, you are human where it matters. [ His eyes narrow, watching as she heals him. ] You are naive.
Parasites do not affect me.
no subject
Well, you get points for not going for my looks as low-hanging fruit. ( The little animal scampers off, and she turns to shrug in his direction. ) Better naive than cynical.
You don't find them disgusting anyway?
no subject
They taste fine enough.
no subject
( She shrugs, not bothered by his behaviour as she takes a step forward. Whatever he is, she can guess that he can't harm her. )
Well. That's what I get for being the daughter of a scientist, I guess.
no subject
But anyway, it's impressive enough that she isn't afraid of him. Others would shy to advance in conversation with him, considering his aloofness. Has he given her any sign that he wants to talk...? ]
What is in your blood? [ Asked abruptly, because he's suddenly curious about her composition... ]
no subject
I think what you're trying to ask is what am I—right?
( Regarding him for a while, her gaze remains calm, even as she steps forward, continuing not to exhibit any fear. There's no need for her to. )
From another world. Not yours, not this one. My people... only resemble humans on the outside. On the inside, we're completely different. And we can live a really long time, compared to people from Earth.
( Kara's not going to get into what she can do right now. The fact that she stands here so confident before him and the carnage he's caused might be a clue, though. Eventually, her shoulders roll in a gentle shrug. )
My father would've gone more into detail, but you're stuck with me.
( Alas. )
no subject
I am not "stuck" with you.
[ It's not like he ways an in-depth explanation, after all. ]
And you eat human food?
no subject
( Yeah, she's going to answer questions with more questions. Not because she's purposefully being coy, but because she's the daughter of a scientist. Curiosity is part of her as much as her ability to absorb sunlight and derive power from its radiation.
She raises an eyebrow. )
Yeah. I'm a bottomless pit when it comes to food.
( Except when her father was the one to cook it. Anyway— )
I guess that's a 'no' for you, though.
