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]

Shit, if it can keep out some of the wind, that's a pretty good start when it comes to insulation. Way better than it just being open, anyway. That could also help keep some of the heat from any fires we light in rather than letting it out into the cold.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Mm, provided you don't light the fires too close by- if I recall correctly, silk is flammable.

[ohnehalfte]

I mean, you definitely recall correctly, so we'll definitely keep any fires away from the silk. That would be shitty if they just burnt down, not to mention a waste of time and energy.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Exceedingly, yes. I also have to wonder about the other end of the spectrum- how likely do you think flooding is, here? The sea hasn't seemed terribly rough the last day or so, but I have no idea how common storms are, here...

[ohnehalfte]

Honestly, if there's storms, considering we're so close to the ocean it's probably pretty likely. [he glances up towards the ceiling] If there was a way to make some storage up off the ground, that would honestly be pretty benefitial. It could save supplies from both flooding and possibly any animals that might try and take it.

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Muffet follows his gaze, eyeing the ceiling speculatively.]

I could probably do some kind of netting, if you think that would be helpful...

[ohnehalfte]

That would be super helpful. [Newt grins at Muffet, widely] Like, seriously, though. It could save us a lot of grief on so many levels if we managed to put together some sort of food stores.

[prettypurpleparlor]

[She smiles warmly back at him.]

If nothing else, I'm sure we're all on the same page when it comes to wanting to avoid starving.

[ohnehalfte]

[Newt can't help but laugh at that, once] Yeah, no kidding. At least we've all got that in common.

[he rubs the back of his neck] So anyway, I'm gonna see if we can get enough people who wanna go that we can have more than one group, so I'll let you know when I get that sorted out?

Wrapping, I think?

[prettypurpleparlor]

Of course, dearie. Thank you for trying to organize things a bit.

yes!! maybe like the next one wraps it?

[ohnehalfte]

[Newt shrugs a shoulder at that, huffing a bit] I'm just not super keen on getting eaten by something that could've been avoided, that's all.

Wrapped with this one or your next, then. :D

[prettypurpleparlor]

A resolution that we can all appreciate, I assure you.
