❪ 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

[Yusei's cut off by mocking laughter from the hooded figure, who puts a hand to its chin in an almost cutesy manner that's very much unlike him.]
What, you don't recognize me? And here I thought we were friends...this guy is your friend, isn't he?
Why would you even-
Well, if he's your friend, he's my friend as well, isn't he? It's the principle of the thing. We're so good at making friends after all, aren't we? Comes with our old man's legacy, or something like that.
no subject
[He sort of half inclines the gun towards the cloaked figure.] Seriously, shoot him or not? 'Cause I kinda want to.
no subject
[The words are spoken neutrally, but there's a hiss to the last word that gets Yusei to snap out of his stupor and glare at the figure.]
...Don't bother. He's basically a zombie, it wouldn't work.
no subject
Yusei... Buddy. I'm gonna need some backstory on this. And also for him to shut up. [He points at the cloaked figure.] He doesn't need to talk anymore.
no subject
[Yusei purses his lips and pointedly looks away from the figure. It seems like when it's turning its ire on someone else, he's actually able to stand up to it.]
That's a...Dark Signer. Someone who died with regrets on their mind severe enough that an Earthbound God revived them under its service.
[So yeah. It's a zombie cultist. Fun stuff, right?]
no subject
[Said without looking over at the other. Rocket growls under his breath. He hates cultists and zombies sound like a hot mess of shit he doesn't wanna deal with.]
And this is a thing that happened to you... Happens to you...? Hell, I dunno. This time crap is weird as hell.
[and makes him deeply uncomfortable.]
no subject
[He shakes his head.] I was - am - just a Signer. But to others I knew, that the others knew closely...
[A clear look of guilt flashes through his face.] We had to defeat them, sever their ties to the Gods and let them rest...I almost died a few times, but I never became...
[That. And yet there were so many chances, so many what-ifs that he can't set them all straight.]
no subject
He nods, more confident this time.]
Okay. So the point is it's not real. Hey, dude! You're not real!
[He stares pointedly at the cloaked figure, expecting it to disappear now that he's denied his existence. No such luck.]
Dammit! I feel like that should've worked.
no subject
Impressive.
[Did that copy just roll its eyes? It did. Never mind that it's just weird looking at that when its sclera are black and all but just seeing anything with Yusei's face do that is weird.]
Got anything else you wanna say, then?
no subject
Plasma speaks louder than words, man. I don't know what to tell you.
[He's a great friend to have around if you need to confront your inner demons. All trigger happy and shit.]
no subject
The Dark Signer himself just seems...annoyed. Or amused. Or maybe both.]
Seems to have the same effect either way, if you don't mind my opinion.
no subject
no subject
Ah. Just one thing.
[He narrows his eyes at the duplicate, voice lower than before.]
Why?
[And at that...the Dark Signer just stares incredulously, before dropping into maddening laughter. Just nothing but constant, mocking laughter that doesn't sound right with Yusei's face and his voice and...all of that.]
no subject
I think you broke him. [So sarcastic. So very, very sarcastic.]
no subject
I think...being broken is kind of a requirement to become a Dark Signer...
[He's not wrong, but...]
no subject
no subject
[The response is automatic, but also entirely serious. Maybe a little too serious.]
Well, look who's getting their contingencies in place. Always the planner, aren't you?
...
no subject
[He elbows him, just in case he is 100% wrong about this and Yusei is probably on the cusp of this and Rocket doesn't even know it. Out of the side of his mouth, through gritted teeth, he says:] Ain't that right, kid?
