Ruins Mingle Log!

Who: Newt Geiszler [personal profile] 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]

[Five seconds is all a teenager with the attention span of a flea needs. Don't turn your back on apocalypse survivors.]

Huh?

[She's not getting it. Doesn't quite understand the owner of the bag is looking at her paw her way through it. In fact, the only reason she looks nervous now is because he's talking to her, not from being caught red-handed.]

I want new treasure.

There's not much treasure in there.

[Or, well, in this situation food was probably a treasure and Nyx did have some oats and No Bakes. Regardless he holds out his hand to her.]

Can I have it back?
catpiper: (where vampires are real)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-08-12 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a second, when her eyes dart from bag to him, where it looks like she won't give it up. Until it clicks that 'have it back' means it's already his and she reluctantly holds it out to him.]

Okay.

[That's fine. There are other knapsacks to dig through. He can have this one and she points to some nearby bags instead.]

Are the rest of these yours?

[She is politely checking before looting, mister adult.]
thekingsglaive: (Seriously though)

[personal profile] thekingsglaive 2017-08-13 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
No... And I'm guess they aren't yours either if you're asking me that.

[At least she asked?

He takes the bag and shoulders it almost immediately, glancing at the bags before at her.]


I'm Nyx, what's your name?
catpiper: (all the banging and crashing around)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-08-14 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
...Ren.

[Not yet, Nyx. But they could be hers. Everything the light touches is her garbage kingdom.]

They don't have owners. They left.

[50/50 split then??? She clearly doesn't get people will be coming back for them.]

It's nice to meet you, Ren.

[He glances over at the pile of bags, toeing a couple to get a better look at the names embroidered on them.]

No, they have owners. See the names? That means they belong to someone. Did you wake up with one of these?
catpiper: (killamagilligan)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-08-24 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I woke up with one. On a raft.

[In the middle of the ocean. What a wild ride it's been. Hers is on her back, not like these people who just leave theirs!! God.]

They left their bags. They don't want them anymore.

[Or they died, one of the two. Nyx must be an outlier. She can't imagine that's a common thing for people to do.]
thekingsglaive: (Seriously though)

[personal profile] thekingsglaive 2017-09-14 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Why don't we wait a few minutes and see if they come back for their bags.

[He was going to have to come up with another reason to keep her from stealing after that. After a moment thought he unslings his own bag, opening it and reaching inside.]

Do you want something to eat?

[Maybe she was stealing bags because she was hungry?]
catpiper: (but your body screams)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-09-15 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't think they're going to, but it doesn't hurt to wait. The bags aren't going anywhere and if they do come back, she doesn't want to take their special treasures.

Nyx is too kind to think this heathen is doing it because she's hungry though. Accident or not, she would have gone into those bags regardless the moment someone left them behind. She automatically assumed they were abandoned.

You don't want it?

[The food, that is.]
