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]

[Despite his worries, Ignis can't hold back the small smile that curls his lips at the blonde's tentative question.]

Prompto, are you really asking my permission to enjoy yourself should the opportunity arise?

[His tone is light and joking, but even so Ignis has a feeling that deep down, the usually cheerful boy really needs some kind of confirmation it's okay to feel happy or even have fun while they are trapped here. It's why he doesn't wait long before continuing.]

Look at this as a detour. Getting to our destination may take longer and we may run into frustrations we wouldn't have otherwise, but we will eventually get to where we are suppose to be. If we have fun or learn something of value along the way, then all the better.

[Maybe he was. As usual, Ignis seemed to know what to say. It didn't mean Prompto wouldn't have any bouts of guilt in the future when he thought of where they left everyone else, but hearing Ignis reassured him.

He plopped a hand on his shoulder.]

Thanks, Iggy.

[At least here they were, and they'd face these things together.]

Hey... Is there anything I can do to help?

[shatteredlenses]

[Ignis rests a hand over Prompto's, giving it a gentle squeeze.]

You're quite welcome. There is something you can do for me if you wish to.

[Keeping the blonde occupied seems like a good idea right now. It will keep his mind from straying into thoughts best left alone.]

Talk to the others here. Lets find out if they have anything that may help us improve the meal I'm putting together. Of course, you can let them know they are free to share whatever I whip up should they contribute.

[Squeezing him back, Prompto used Ignis' shoulder to push himself up.]

Sure, I'm on it! There's bound to be a ton of stuff. Just, call me if you need anything!

[There was a small hop to his step as he went back into his normal mode. So long as he had something to focus on, some way he could be helping, he could at least pretend things were all fine. He was a little nervous about talking to all of these people, but they were just as stranded as he and Iggy were.

With that, he jogged off to see what he could manage to get done.]
