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]

Hm... I'm not personally familiar with either English standards or island weather, but I believe a sundress- that's a short, light dress with fewer layers- would be considered acceptable by most humans I've met.

[boundwitch]

[Fewer layers? Does Muffet really mean...]

Do you mean just one layer? What are you wearing right now?

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Yes, Sieglinde, there is a Santa Claus culture where people don't wear fifty different layers at all times.]

Well, in my case I'm wearing this capelet over my shirt because I enjoy the look of it, but the outfit would still be considered perfectly acceptable if I wasn't.

[boundwitch]

What about... [Her voice drops a bit, because this isn't something to shout about.] your underthings?

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Welp, this is awkward. Oh well, honesty's probably the best policy. Or at least the one least likely to lead this poor girl into getting heatstroke before they all get off the island. She replies in a similarly quiet tone.]

I do wear a pair, but they're not what I'd call complicated? It's certainly not something that requires complex corsetry, if that's what you mean.

Really, no one else is going to be seeing them, so it's not something that other people get much of a say in, yes? The point is that you're wearing something that you find comfortable.

[boundwitch]

Can you dress yourself? [Complex corsetry and too many layers mean that Sieglinde doesn't dress herself. Comfortable also isn't something she's used to.]

That is something I will need to learn while I am here.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Yes, it's fairly rare for an outfit to require assistance from others to put on. It should be relatively straightforward once you get the hang of it, provided we can get you something to wear with any ties or buttons somewhere easy to reach.

[boundwitch]

I have always required assistance. I would much prefer dressing myself, but the current fashions in England do not allow for something like that. If you would assist me in procuring new clothing, I would be very grateful.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Hm...

[Muffet looks around for a moment before she spots a long stick. She picks it up and hands it to Sieglinde, indicating a patch of sand to their left.]

If you want, we could try sketching out the rough basics of what you're looking for in an outfit with this, so we can figure out how difficult it would be to make.
