November Intro: Red Sun Rises Like an Early Warning
INTRO LOG: NOVEMBER
Who: Everyone!
What: New souls arrive to the archipelago of LifeAftr
When: November 3rd and beyond
Where: Ensō
Warnings: Mark as needed!
What: New souls arrive to the archipelago of LifeAftr
When: November 3rd and beyond
Where: Ensō
Warnings: Mark as needed!
The New Arrivals: Hold My Hand
When you wake, it will be to the lapping of waves, frothed with foam...pulling at your hair, your skin, your clothing. The sand is soft and wet beneath you, but it's several inches submerged. And the longer you stay here, the more obvious it will be that the water level of the ocean ringing this strip of island has begun to to rise, and not merely because the tide has started to come in.
And what's more? You can tell that something else about this entire situation is horribly, horribly wrong.
Perhaps you've lost some special power. Perhaps some piece of your memory is freshly and disconcertingly blank. Perhaps you've just discovered that one of your senses is missing, or that you've been rendered unable to speak, or you've been struck by a debilitating fatigue. Not only are you stranded in some unfamiliar place, stuck on a rapidly flooding beach, but you aren't even doing it in full possession of all your faculties.
For those who agreed to put themselves at a disadvantage for a stranger, these are your consequences. If you're unclear as to the handicap your character has been assigned, if any, please check your initial acceptance notice!
All new arrivals will additionally awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can also be found in your acceptance notices!
For All: It's a Long Way Down
The water isn't a problem for the newest arrivals, either. It seems that the waters all over Ensō have started to rise, slowly at first, and then with a steadily increasing rate. At first, you might be forgiven for assuming the tide must simply be unusually high, or maybe that the island's begun to sink. But the longer it endures, the more obvious it becomes that neither is the case.
The water has begun to rise. Something is wrong with the island itself, or the being living on it, and now there is nothing preventing the water's inexorable approach as it steadily washes over and over the mainland. In fact, if you listen closely, you might even be able to hear a peculiar sound tearing over the cold rush of the coastal wind; something akin to a desolate wailing.
Either get to high ground - and quickly - or find out what's causing this. But either way, we suggest you hurry...because there are a great deal of newly arrived, very disoriented folk on the beach that could really, really use your help.
As a final note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme, bear in mind that those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!

no subject
Higher ground doesn't really count for a particular destination.
no subject
She's crying. Or forcing ocean water out of her tear ducts, whichever. ]
I... I just thought you knew the way there...! I followed you because I was scared and I don't know where I am!
[ HICCUP ]
no subject
He sighs.]
Look, I'm not trying to upset you. I just got here myself.
no subject
[ Oh boo hoo, you gremlin thing. If she can be as annoying as she can to hurry him up, the better they'll both be. Motivation! ]
no subject
[Whoever 'them' is, in this case.
...He can be smart, occasionally.]
no subject
[ In this case, she's referring to Komaeda. Who just stared and waited for the obviously dead girl to wake up. ]
no subject
...Just keep going uphill. Either the water will stop eventually, or it won't.
no subject
punches him in the knee. It's a little too strong for a seven year old. Or maybe it just felt that way because you don't expect a seven year old to punch your kneecaps. ]
And what if I drown?!
no subject
Then probably everyone else is drowning as well and there's not much either of us will be able to do about it.
1/2
[ She'll punch him again... or not. ]
Don't tell anyone about this! [ She threateningly waggles a finger at him, childishly. ] Not a soul! It's my biggest secret ever!
no subject
She's flying upward to get a view of the island around them. It is only by luck's good graces that she can see the Islets, still afloat, with the shacks and huts on them. ]
Ugh, see? It's this way. Let's just--
[ As she tries to zoom off, she hits an invisible barrier, full stop, like a bird hitting a windshield. She takes an embarrassingly short time to tumble down.
Anger: Just the slightest bit beneath homicidal when she has to fake being helpful. ]
no subject
bonk.
Well, that would explain it.
Proving that he isn't a total jerk, he does offer her a hand back to her feet.]
It's not exactly like I can fly.
no subject
[ She doesn't take his hand, because that would be horrifically shameful. She's barely holding back from killing him. ]
no subject
[Hey Sachiko the thing about the islets is that there's water between here and there.]
no subject
Lead the way then!
no subject
Follow if you want, I guess.
no subject
With his back turned, as she follows him, she's gonna slide her scissors beneath a chunk of his hair and cut it before zooming off.
Just waiting for the opportune moment... ]
omg no not the hair (like seriously no please not the hair)
Whether she persists in following or not, he continues to head for higher ground until he's satisfied that the water won't reach him for at least a couple hours, if at all.]
