❪ event ❫ a moment in eternity
TO THERE AND BACK ![]() It has been a month of chills uncharacteristic of what you might remember as summer — cold days and even colder nights. The days are short and the nights feel eternal. With the recent disruption of the network and no sign of a resolution for the world outside of Nadril, one has to wonder what the future holds for El Nysa. What of Olympia, Wyver, and their residents? The animals you cared for - are they destined to remain as frozen as wretched Ysverai forever? What will become of the sleeping ones in Thesa when there is nowhere else to go but this icy city? Yet not all hope is lost just yet. The woman that appeared at the start of the network errors finally shows up again in another network post. Nurray has a point: refugees have not been given a chance to see the outside. The frequent snowstorm barrier of Nadril has made it impossible to see what it's like beyond the colony. Soon after the network post, as though the snow has been "turned off," clouds will clear. With the barrier created by the snow gone, the red sun shines brightly upon the dreary city with its warmth. You can see a purple haze on the south horizon, a indication that Yservai wasn’t all just a dream. He's still there, so far away, yet so close anyway. Near the entrance, a mound of snow melts, revealing steps leading towards the underground. It seems to be a part of the subway station you might have found earlier during your exploration of the colony — this time, the station has been powered on. Two trains lie in wait — their destinations read: Olympia and Wyver. — El Nysa is waiting. FREEZE FRAME ![]() The technology found in the subway station of Nadril is truly out of this world. The combined efforts of Natha technology and alien minds have truly created state-of-the-art transportation never before seen by the typical Nysan. It takes no longer than one hour for the intercoms to announce their arrival to the outskirts of the Dranbu Kingdom — though, even with the platform available, the train never stops; it instead continues for another half hour for it to reach the North Gate of the Olympian Empire, where it sits until it's time to return to the tundra. All in all, it takes a mere hour and a half for this high-speed subway travel from Nadril to Olympia. The second train does make a quick stop at the Olympian Station, but it will be another painless hour and a half until it reaches the jungle of the Wyver Kingdom. Because Wyver is its own island, connected only by a bridge, you might notice that a small part of the travel was underwater. The trip takes only a total of three hours, but there's plenty of time for sightseeing. After all, isn't that the whole point of this trip? BE STILL MY HEART. Leaving the train, you are immediately hit with the still, warm air of the underground. It's hot, much different from the winter of the north, but perhaps a welcome change. The station is old, but it still has a fairly new smell to it, and not just because it's been unused for so long. It feels out of place compared to the rest of this world, and this is especially true when you reach the surface.It's hard to imagine where one can go from here. You might start thinking about clean-up efforts, how to achieve proper burials for the fallen ones... but with time frozen, you will find that you cannot actually move anything or anyone. It will be dusk, as Thesa's shines across the skies, when storm cloud gather before Thesa's light. And from the clouds is a familiar figure — Once again, she has descended. TIME & TIME AGAIN ![]() Darma is glowing as bright as the naked eye can perceive. Her massive, true form floats before the world she's built from dust. Her brightness dims as she says her final words — at the same time, raises her arms, palms wide, then closes her hands into a fist. In that instant, time is resumed. It's slow at first, as though time is trying to catch up with reality. It takes a several moments until the slow-motion picture before them reaches normalcy. Darma turns her attention to Yservai, whose motion is also returning, but not for long. In her true form, they are comparable in size; Darma's glow continues to dim as she draws closer to the Great Dragon, and then she coils herself around him, holding him still before assimilating into the wretched creature. By the end of it, time has completely returned to normal, and all residents were able to witness the Natha holding time still for Ysverai — The process turns the Great Dragon, as well as Darma, into stone. HIT PLAY TO REPLAY ![]() Darma has resumed time, and Ysverai is no longer a threat. However, it comes with a hefty price for the Natha. The massive, stone statue of Darma embracing Ysverai looms in the valley between the cities of Olympia and Wyver. It's no doubt an intimidating addition to the world, but there is some peace in knowing it's all over. When civilians finally come to, they can't help but look upon the statue in awe — and their respective cities. It's much to take in all at once. Much destruction has been wrought— buildings lay in ruin, and of the citizens still alive, many look to be in poor physical condition. 1. I. The Sanctuary has sustained much damage, and with the high demand of medical care, cannot serve as the central healing place for those in need. Instead, it is up to individual citizens to find resources and establish places of care. Those with a medical inclination or healing powers may set up medical tents, or work out of their homes. Not everything has been destroyed, and it is still possible to obtain supplies from the market or request them from The Sanctuary.Time has resumed, yes, but the magic that Darma employs isn't flawless. As powerful of an entity as she may be, to tamper with time is difficult. Some would say it defies the laws of nature. Nature seems to agree, and in the next few weeks, El Nysa will be facing a few hiccups as it finds its equilibrium once more and citizens try to return to normalcy. Strangely enough, El Nysa natives are not disturbed by the occurrence of these events. III. Characters may find that they occasionally (or frequently) suffer from lapses in memory. These difficulties with memory may range from light to severe, although they are thankfully not permanent. Within the span of a few minutes to a few hours, difficulties in remembering people and events are resolved. That isn't to say a similar problem won’t happen again tomorrow…But these phenomena does draw to a close — and with it, you may wonder what will happen now to those sleeping ones in Thesa now that Darma has turned to stone. After all, it will be near the time of which more refugees should wake... Repairs to Thesa Station should remain ongoing so long as parts can be salvaged from Nadril, at least. And with speed travel via subway possible, it should make travel far easier than ever before. Even with Darma gone, you will have to move forward. There is still much to be done. FINAL OOC NOTES

He swats at her hand, but then he takes it in his - his not wooden one, of course, some things even age regression can't fix - so they can keep walking.
It's cool to hold hands with your maman, okay? ]
So, what are we looking for?
no subject
We're looking for sedatives. Something similar to laudanum.
[She's planning on being rather liberal with the sleep aids until people can adjust.]
And whatever other medicine we can carry.
no subject
[ It's probable that he's overestimating the strength of his younger body, being so used to his grown up one. It won't stop him from lugging a heavy basket of ingredients. ]
But I do not know what sedatives look like.
no subject
That's fine. You can carry a bag for me, and I'll do the filling.
no subject
All right. But when I am myself again, I will carry more for you.
no subject
[... says the woman who actually got too many offers of help when she opened the doors. Fergus is the exception.]
no subject
Can't Bree help? I might need to do other things.
[ Manly things. ]
no subject
[NOT UNDER MAMAN'S WATCH unless they actually need to do things like that.]
no subject
[ oh my god WHY YOU GOTTA COME AT HIM LIKE THAT ]
Just ... Other things. Helping build or ... Or carrying things.
[ Manly things. ]
no subject
[Nice try, small fry.]
no subject
Jamie can help you.
no subject
[She glances down at him before kindly taking her hand back, thank you very much! And then she's simply looking ahead as they walk along.
Nope. Not guilting him at all.]
If that's what you'd prefer to do, who am I to change your mind?
[Just the woman who loves him like her own son.]
You can do as you wish.
no subject
I want to help everyone! If I'm only just helping you, how I can help the person who has no one else to help them?
no subject
[Just saying.]
no subject
no subject
... I don't know, Fergus. This is something we have to wait and see with.
no subject
[ Life is so hard. He takes Claire's hand again, accepting, for now, that while he is little he will help. And when he's big again, he'll help, too, because of course he will. ]
no subject
What do you mean?
[That's not what she expected to hear him say.]
no subject
[ Duh. ]
I do not need to do it again. I just want to be me.
no subject
I'm hoping this will just end as suddenly as it began, but if not, I promise not to put the good snacks on the high shelves in the kitchen until you're tall enough to reach.
no subject
[ Fergus thinks they're getting along quite well, him and Bree. He's delighted to have a sister - though he considers Jenny's children his siblings as much as anything, it's not quite the same, is it? ]
no subject
[Thank God. She wasn't worried about Fergus getting along with Bree, as sudden as her existence might be, but she wasn't sure how Bree might take to him--but they seem to be getting along just fine.]
no subject
[ Fergus isn't stupid, and neither is Bree, and the natural order of siblings is that Nothing Comes For Free. Also, she would enjoy being the properly older sibling too much to let Fergus get away with easy snacks. ]
no subject
[Claire reaches out to ruffle his hair. Any annoyance is long forgotten and forgiven.]
I'm glad the two of you are getting along, but please keep her out of trouble. All right?
no subject
[ Duh, Claire. Fergus already can tell that Bree might be a bit of a handful, strongwilled like both of her parents - a deadly mix of the two, no doubt. But he's up for the challenge. ]
