Ruins Mingle Log!

[ohnehalfte]

Who: Newt Geiszler ohnehalfte and EVERYONE
What: So a bunch of people headed up towards the ruins, so they've got to all run into each other and start to congregate, right???
When: Evening of the mingle log and onwardish.
Where: The Ruins
Warnings: Um...same as the mingle log?



The beach curves up a gentle slope until it meets forest, some manner of building visible through the trees. Further exploration of this area will reveal a dilapidated building of sorts; the architecture is indiscernible to even the most skilled eye. Despite looking as if it has seen better days, there are areas that offer some form of shelter...and who knows what else. Just because it appears uninhabited doesn’t mean you won’t wind up pleasantly, or unpleasantly, surprised.


[ooc: Hey y'all! I thought this might be a good place to start getting larger groups of characters together to do some exploring, settling down, banding together and figuring out rations, etc. Feel free to throw up any threads of your own for specific things like exploration groups, a gathering in the entrance hall, whatever strikes your fancy or that you think your character would organize. Have a party!

Edit: Additionally, there is now an OOC Post for those that want to handwave their character signing up for ruin exploration]

[One of the people to approach Newt is a young man who looks like he was brought here mid-baseball game. The Batter had taken a look inside the ruins, although to the extent that it could only be considered sticking his head in the door. An opportunity to explore further could provide useful.]

I will join with the exploration. I am also capable of combating any impurities that may be encountered.

[The Batter sounds as emotionless as ever but there's a sense that he believes firmly in his statements.]

[ohnehalfte]

[...creepy. Newt's arching an eyebrow. If asked, he'll say he doesn't judge a book by it's emotionless cover, but that'd be a lie.] As long as you don't decide that a member of your party is an "impurity," dude, that sounds good. I'm gonna get a headcount, and then I'll put some groups together.

[unpurify]

[Newt's not the first person to think of the Batter as creepy and he won't be the last. But thoughts along those lines don't matter to him.]

They are not impure.

[The people who had arrived on the rafts have, thus far, only been 'strange'. Strange was fine. Strange helped. The merchant was a helpful being despite his...quirks, for example.

But that's only for now.]

I will listen for your call, then. I am called the Batter.

[ohnehalfte]

...right. [w e l p] I'm...probably going to regret asking, but what does qualify as impure?

[unpurify]

Hostile creatures. Specters or otherwise that seek to harm the land and the innocent who reside upon it.

[It's real simple Newt.]

[ohnehalfte]

[ w e l p. He did ask.]

Aaaaaaaall-righty then. So, uh...I'll let you know when we're heading out, dude. [weird and creepy. He's gonna maybe try and put him with someone who he thinks can handle this guy...and as few kids as possible.]

[unpurify]

Okay.

[That's all he needs. If Newt doesn't have anything else to add, the Batter will walk off. Sorry but he doesn't do goodbyes.]
