Welcome to Islet 2! There are many reasons for you to be here right now. Maybe you live here. Maybe you're visiting someone who lives here. Maybe you've been invited to this sick party by one of the above idiots. Maybe you were just passing by and got dragged into the festivities. Who cares, really? You're here now!

Out in front of Cottage 1 there's the beautiful banner that you see above hanging on the outside, lovingly crafted by one of the twins. The twins have also lovingly crafted some vodka using magic and potatoes. Potato magic. And hey! There's also stuff that the twins cooked! Like potato tornadoes, fried shark genitals and Fantasy Kentucky Fried Pterax! And other food! And there's a fire! And activities! And drinking!

Mainly drinking. In fact, there is a large cooking pot that, at the moment, is full of the most moonshine-iest vodka you have ever had. There are empty halves of coconut shells to serve as cups, as well as some clay cups that may or may not have come from an interesting source. So help yourself! Who knows how long it'll last, considering the amount of guests. Heck! It might even be repurposed later, after all the vodka is gone! So drink up.

Anyway, feel free to join in on the festivities! There will be several threads for activities where people can mingle, or you can start your own. Have a party, chill out, and/or imbibe ill-advised substances to try and forget that you died. Wheeeee!

[Yes, this is exactly the sort of thing Roy fears will happen at this party. Drunken mistakes they can't afford. So few people here have any concept of self-control or thought for the future...]

[Bumping Roy is kind of like bumping a pillar; Newt ain't winning this one. Roy takes a deep, bracing breath, then musters up a smile.]

I've been working in the central compound, where the apes used to be. It's going pretty well actually, but keeps me busy. How've you been?

[ohnehalfte]

[Listen, man, he's been thinking of the future and being careful for the past three years, let him have this. However, fortunately, Newt wasn't trying to win any sort of bumping contest, and so he kind of just bounces back off Roy with a small laugh.] Eh, y'know, the whole recovering from being dead thing, what else s'new, right?

[greatcleavage]

I'm not at all going to say I envy you the experience, but I think I do envy you the lack of level loss and diamond dust expenditure. That's some serious magic at play. [He's at least willing to TRY to converse sensibly (by Roy Greenhilt standards).]

[ohnehalfte]

[.......] ....IIIIIII understand what all those words mean separately, but together, they're not makin' much sense, dude.

[greatcleavage]

Oh -- the Resurrection spell requires an expenditure of diamond dust as a material component, and the person raised by it loses one level of experience.

[That makes more sense, right?]

[ohnehalfte]

[Newt listens to that very carefully, and then is quiet for a moment, frowning, thinking] That...s'totally not a thing in my world. N I don' think th'Storyteller works that way.

[greatcleavage]

As has been objectively demonstrated, yes. A god is clearly not bound by the same rules as those who merely wield divine power by grace of their patron. [Which is an unsurprising fact.]

I don't necessarily consider this a good thing.

[ohnehalfte]

Oh, dude, it's deeeeeefinitely not a good thing. The whole 'infinite power over everyone' kinda thing. Really sucks. Like, a lot. [eloquent, Newt.]

[greatcleavage]

You have no idea. [Says the man trying to stop the gods from destroying his world utterly.] But even used somewhat benevolently, we're transforming human lives into renewable resources, which is a terrible line of thinking.

[ohnehalfte]

[Newt can't help but snort a bit] 've got a pretty good idea, actually. S'doesn't matter whether's benevolent or not, s'still bad. Takes away choice. Very not good.

[greatcleavage]

Oh yeah, I mostly meant that in terms of scope and scale, not quality.
