devotedtothecore: (Default)
[personal profile] devotedtothecore
Who: Anyone
When: Day 126, morning (and all day long)
Where: All HQ stairwells
What: A HAPPENING

[ At approximately 10:15 am on this bright sunshine-y day, a faint, vaguely electric hum buzzes through the building's walls. Just for a couple of seconds, fading out again. Maybe just your imagination??

Though it seems to happen again and again throughout the day, at odd random intervals.

Well, whatever it was, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the humble, innocuous, solid ol' staircases between the floors of HQ. Even if the hums seem just that bit louder around them. ]


(( OOC: Elevators are now active! Albeit with a few kinks. Comment to this post/tag someone to be trapped in a happening with them for a bit maybe 'w' ETA: GOING TO BED will revisit this post around 7 EST tomorrow by latest!! if not earlier ))
devotedtothecore: (...keep walking.)
[personal profile] devotedtothecore
Who: Anyone
When: Day 125, morning
Where: Outside HQ/Inside HQ
What: Adventure mingle time!!1 and also less exciting stay at home mingle time

[ the sunrise is bright over the treeline, and the sky promises to be blue all day. Clearly it is a good day for action. Perhaps even adventure. You know there's at least one person is taking up the chance for it.

Maybe you're setting out on your own, or with a few people you know. Maybe you might spot someone else heading away from the safety of HQ. Or maybe you're just hanging out back home because there's enough for you to do. ]
timesneedle: Leedin's spindle (~spindle)
[personal profile] timesneedle
Who: Everyone
When: Day 119, afternoon
Where: 4th floor
What: Mingle. Or arts and crafts.

[For once, Leedin isn't doing anything with thread, fabric, yarn or so on. Instead she is placing a sign on a cart of books: "Patterns and guides: free to browse until sunset, but please see me if you wish to keep one. Leedin." If you look at the titles, most of them appear to be for clothing, including warm pyjamas, suited for this climate.]

[Leedin may also have something to do with the pile of fleece fabric nearby, in about as many colors and patterns as you can think of (up to and including a few with cartoon versions of common Thusian animals). There are also about a dozen pairs of fabric scissors, and a few sets of instructions for tie blankets, as well as a note to not waste the fleece.]

[You can also use this as a general mingle. Whatever]

[OOC: Attempting to remove the scissors or books will lead to the worst case of tangled hair and shoelaces you have ever had, and your clothing will start to hinder your movement. Taking projects (finished or partial) is perfectly fine with Leedin, of course -- that's what it's there for, people.]
cloakanddaikon: (Relaxed environment)
[personal profile] cloakanddaikon
Who: Current inhabitants of HQ
When: Day 119, morning
Where: 4th floor courtyard
What: Breakfast and reestablished communications

[The smell of baking and breakfast sausages fills the air this morning. Follow it, and you'll find a large picnic blanket spread out between the 4th floor bulletin board and the (now once again empty, and finally clean) fountain.

The last of the rainforest's larder is spread out: small bowls of varied nuts, warm buns beside blood mushroom jam, fried potatoes, monkey sausage and crispy monkey wings. A salad of fresh green and yellow leaves, dotted with flower petals, adds colour, as does a plate of preserved local vegetables. In the centre, steaming gently, is a pot of . . . is that miso soup?

A sign on the bulletin board states, simply enough, Community Meet and Greet.]


Good morning.

I am quite sure I am not alone in realizing how many new faces there are in these halls, and how many more that were once here are now absent. Before we embark on whatever explorations we make have in this new location, it seems a good time to once again take a few moments to introduce ourselves.

If you could, please give your name, the length of time you have been here, and, as a way to open up conversation, feel free to share a point of interest about yourself, any plans you may have for the next few days, or questions about the environment we have navigated to.

SCENERY

[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone
When: Day 117, let's say "All Day" through to "Evening"
Where: Misty mountains
What: mingle

[So since this morning the HQ has been buried in mist and fog. There's the sense that the HQ has been slowly rising and falling in elevation, much more slowly than it had been proceeding until now. The power consumed by flying also seems to have increased as the HQ is forced to compensate for wind and drag and maintaining equilibrium while traveling over extreme slopes and other various factors of trying to fly directly over a mountain range.

Chill winds whistle through the hallways now, funneling through the HQ, down the stairwells, finally escaping out of the unsealed parts of the hangar on Level 2 and the great, gaping doorway on Level 1 (careful when walking in those areas or you might get dragged out). The lizagons have either retreated to the more secure nests closer to the covered parts of the dome or have moved to the first Level and scratched out the doorways of the abandoned rooms to settle in. In the mist outside one can sometimes see shapes passing by the windows: the tree-covered faces of a mountainside, or occasionally faster shapes... Sounds call out in the gloom, but the HQ's hulking size and constant motion seems to be enough to deter anything that might try to investigate for the time being.

Toward sunset, as the HQ seems to peak in one of the longer ascents of the day, the mist slowly begins to thin, and one can make out the shadows of another uneven stretch of mountains spreading out before the HQ, the setting sun painting them blue and purple as it starts to dip below the horizon.]


((ooc: We're looking to set the HQ down sometime between Thursday (tomorrow) or Friday night. There are some limited options, but the goal is to get to a place where people can rest a while.))

Who: Damian + open
When: Day 116, early evening
Where: Shrine room
What: dead sidekick!!

[ it's obvious that this eleven year old is Not Pleased. He's thoroughly inspecting things, muttering to himself wrathfully. Approach at your own risk, basically. ]

Unacceptable. This is---it's impossible. Impossibly unacceptable.

Mountains

Jan. 30th, 2013 09:33 pm
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Anyone
When: Day 116, Morning (and on)
Where: Still drifting northward over the forests
What: Mountains approach

[As you come and go throughout the HQ today (maybe to the portal room by the baths to poke out at Rainforest Base or hanging out by the windows near the shrines) you'll notice that in the approaching distance, waves of fog and mist seem to rise up like a wall of gray clouds and spill over the jungles below, as if all the moisture that drifts up out of the rainforests is being dammed, rolling back to blanket the forest as a result.

If one stares long enough, waiting for the gray mist to part, one can catch glimpses of mountains rising up through the clouds, indistinct save for how they're also green like the jungle trees. It's hard to tell for sure with how obscured the view is, but by nightfall the HQ is likely to have reached those mountains...]
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: You =D
When: Day 114, Evening and alll night long~
Where: In ur dreams
What: Dream post!

[Maybe you have gotten used to the regular hum of the HQ's engines as it flies slowly over a rippling canopy. Maybe you even find their sound soothing as you drift off tonight... Or maybe you don't drift off at all, maybe wherever you are, whatever you were doing, you just find yourself inexplicably sleepy.

Whatever it is, you end up in dreams. Your dreams? Or someone else's? It's hard to say.]



((OOC: DREAM POST!

For those of you who have never participated in a dream post, everyone interested in running a character's dream posts a top level comment and people comment to that to be in that character's dream. There are basically no rules about how it works! Be a lucid dreamer, don't be, figure it out halfway through, push and pull between who controls the dream. w/e have fun! If you need an OOC excuse to be asleep you can totally assume Rew's power just made your character unreasonably tired at some point. Solitary dreamers will find ocean waters rising in and drowning out their dreams, but Rew won't be making any appearances in this post.))
deretsune: (To plant inside of me)
[personal profile] deretsune
Who: Natsume, Chrono, anybody else.
When: Day 113, Evening to late night.
Where: 4th Floor
What:

[ On the fourth floor today you might notice there's a small pile of things near one corner-- a chair, multiple hand-sewn balls, a few knives, a few pairs of sticks connected by a rope with an odd double cone-thing for each of them-- apparently left, abandoned.

...Except when one looks up, they'll notice that on the rope tied across the 4th floor balconies, Natsume(in her plain white leotard, only just a little worn by now) is walking backwards along it, leading Chrono slowly across with her hands linked with his. Chrono looks like he's simply concentrating on not becoming the next Humpty Dumpty. ]

One step at a time-- that's it...
friendsontheotherside: (In my day we all wore these hats)
[personal profile] friendsontheotherside
Who: Everyone
When: Day 113, afternoon
Where: The shrine area
What: A tea party~

[You are all cordially invited to Luna's grand tea party. The invitation is the aroma of delicious baking, and should you follow you'll discover dozens of cakes and tea pots and fancy flower arrangements floating mid-air, laid out as though they would be on individual tables. The host of this party is sitting at a 'table', and by sitting I also mean floating, sipping daintily from a cup of tea.]
anklets: (from China,with love)
[personal profile] anklets
Who: Lenalee and you guys
Where: Level 3, (very) near apartment D
When: Day 113, a little before sunrise
What: d-d-dehiatus!

[Not one to linger on fairytales and their ilk, Lenalee has shed her Sleeping Beauty regime of the last six days, and is now on her feet (...fffffor the time being). She has "escaped" the apartment, which is a generous way of saying she's standing knock-kneed in the open doorway to the hall with an expression of total disorientation, holding herself up with white knuckles on the doorframe and no small amount of willpower.

Tight-lipped. Wan.

Her eyes move back and forth as HQ settles and shifts (as people inside her own home possibly settle and shift).

And, if you're passing by at this obscenely early hour, you may find that she's staring right at you.]
deathtined: (Default)
[personal profile] deathtined
Who: The Handmaid, Ranniel, you~
When: Day 109, early afternoon
Where: 2nd floor & 4th floor
What: Handmaid dehiatus + tossing Ranniel out for threads

[The Handmaid has been missing for a good 7 days, ever since the big lizagon battle. She's back now, however -- an apparently unconscious form flopping rather inconveniently in a second floor hallway. Shreds of spider web still cling to her limbs, and the lower portions of her dress are shredded. Unsurprising, considering her legs were apparently clawed up by one of our dragon-y friends.

Her eyes are closed, no glow of magic anywhere. Though she's not moving she does still have a death grip on her magic wands. Approach, Y/N?]



[On the other hand, there's another long absent face around, too. Those of you who have had cause to use Ranniel's shrine for the past 30 days or so may have noticed that, while responsive and prompt as always, her personal appearances had dwindled in frequency to almost nothing. Now, though, the sound of a lute being played drifts from the shrine area, filling the 4th floor.]

We See You

[personal profile] fuckingnature
Who: Anyone
When: Day 102, Morning
Where: Outside HQ
What:

[ A lot's happened yesterday, but gods consuming other gods doesn't change the fact that people need things to consume too. With all the resource stripping happening horizontally by your friendly neighbors on the fifth floor, you hunting exploradora types may have decided to turn your attention downwards, where long black exploring tongues and fish that try to eat you lurk. ]

[ This morning though, you may find an extra surprise. So may anyone else in HQ who may hear those sounds of environmental destruction. That surprise? Eight or so red lizagons, larger than most and being led by a heavily scarred, one-eyed red lizagon are settled on the branches below HQ, working on steadily destroying the branches there and working their way up toward the ones keeping HQ up... ]

(( Gird your loins for lizagons, Thusia. Active encounters are here. There is a good chance of grievous injury or death depending how you approach them.))

[ A battle started | A call to arms!! <--for anyone looking for a reason to hop in | Join the fight | Aftermath ]

It Moves!

foil: ♟leo baskerville (⦇ ᴛʜᴜsɪᴀ ⦈ moss lion)
[personal profile] foil
Who: Leo & Everyone
When: Day 100, Evening to Late Evening
Where: Level 1
What: Blackout related reintroduction and mingle.

[ It seems the building lost power, but in all that darkness, something is shifting and stirring on the first floor of the Headquarters. The ceiling seems to be pulsing and undulating, moving as if it were glassy black oil. It's still dark around the building and now that it is night time, the residents might need to share their lights with neighbors. ]

[[ ooc: Putting up a first comment placeholder for Leo's intro. Comment there if you're wandering around Level 1 and want to run into him. ]]
over_clocked: (Default)
[personal profile] over_clocked
Who: Dirk, Lenalee, Yukari AND YOU
When: Day 100, Late afternoon to evening
Where: THEY are on level 4 but. you will probably notice this everywhere...
What: B-B-Black out

[so wherever you are in the HQ, you will hear a hear a sort of...

bssszzztipp

and then the lights all go out.

Also anything else that runs on electricity stops doing that!


If you are near a window you can at least probably still see okay. For now...

And if you are on level four in the northwest corner you might hear a mild, dead pan]


Oh. Shit.


((OOC: SO SOME KIDS TRIED TO HOOK UP THE GENERATOR. And shorted out the HQ's power! =D!! Enjoy the dark, kids))
oi_theoi: Leedin (Happy) (Lee - oh shiny)
[personal profile] oi_theoi
Who: Everyone
When: Day 99, evening
Where: Floor 4
What: Beach party (bring your own party). Also mingle

[So, how many of you are using the threat of curious lizagons to stay inside? How many of you re bored yet?

[Maybe that's why Leedin has carted in a bunch of sand, and it's covering half of the clear floor on the north side of the floor. There's even plenty of colors -- white, grays and black, reds, oranges and yellows, pink and even a few patches of olive green and purple. ]

[OOC: Leedin will probably let this persist until tomorrow.]

Peekaboo

[personal profile] fuckingnature
Who: Your neighbors and you
When: Day 99, Late Morning/Early Afternoon
Where: HQ's perimeter
What:

[ The morning sun might be a little harder to see today. This would be because there are red lizagons climbing over and down the windows and the sides of HQ, sniffing and stopping to stare at the interior of the building, almost... curiously. ]

[ Surely this is nothing to get worked up about... right? ]

(( Ten is your runner! She is on IRC if you would like to tap her. ))
