NEW ISLAND: UMUI

Who: Everyone!
What: Umui appears, and a new adventure begins
When: July 10th and onward
Where: Umui
Warnings: Tag as you go!

'Cause the Dirt is Up to My Eyes
As of July 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Umui.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the C1 square. The thick crops of flowers spring freely across the lush, grassy landscape, clustered in dense knots. The variety behind these growths seems profoundly limited: it is as though each flower has only sprouted around others of its kind, mingling solely at the edges. A large building looms in the corner of the region, a twisting, unfurling mass of piping and a half-crumbled metallic shine.

Whatever lays inside, or beyond the island's limits, is for you to discover for yourself.

(They are distracted by the plants; it takes some time for them to look up and notice their ally's discovery.

After a moment of staring, they approach.)

( The Knight glances back at Legion, and then up at the crouched figure of the robot, which seems to have just...stopped, in whatever it happened to be doing, and slumped on the spot.

It's not...something they like, either. No noise, no other living things. Just the endless crash of the waves on the shore and the wind in the flowers and this.

They pat at a rusted leg, as if expecting it to come alive somehow. Like you would shake a sleeper awake. )

(They begin to check it, to see if it can possibly be repaired.

They chatter to themselves softly, and it gets quieter as time passes.

It is unlikely the Knight will make this connection, but it's probably more than a little similar to how sad animals poke at dead friends, confused and dismayed and wanting them to come back.)

( They don't match it to that exact example, but they've seen similar things time and time again in their long wandering; the living shaking the dead, as if that desperate motion could somehow reignite life within them.

They look up at Legion, and gently place a hand on their leg, as far up as they can reach. Attempting some form of comfort. )

(They look down at the Knight.)

This unit is damaged beyond repair.
