September Adventure: Rain Comes

[lifeaftr_mods]

NEW ISLAND: NUIDAN

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

Reseed the Meadow So the Cows Don't Starve
As of September 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Nuidan.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square. The temple is situated in an oasis-like backdrop of amber-colored sands circled with overhanging palm trees. From the island's center, the four corners of the island and its fixed seasonal shifts are more than obvious: to the north, the rainfall-soaked meadows of spring; to the east, the thick clusters of the trees of autumn; to the south, the snow-capped mountains of winter; and to the west, the warm summer sands and pleasant heat.

And inside the temple? The avatar of the island Nuidan is waiting.

[Oh, those don't bother her at all. Spiders and fangs make sense, after all.]

No, I don't believe we have...I've only arrived a few days ago. My name is Anthy.

[She offers Muffed a little bow, still very polite and Japanese until the end.]

I was wondering...if there was a way that helping was handled in this world. I would like to help with things here, but I'm not sure if...I don't know where to begin.

[Harv seemed pleased with the idea of people helping anywhere and everywhere, but Anthy would like a direction, or at least to know that if she needs to tell someone she's gone off someplace, that she can resolve that with ease.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

A pleasure to meet you. My name is Muffet.

[She returns Anthy's bow with a neat little curtsy of her own, appreciating the proper manners.]

Since we've all been brought from different worlds and tossed together unexpectedly, there isn't much overall organization, I'm afraid. If you'd like to offer help to people as you happen to come across them, it will rarely be taken amiss- we generally tend to work together as best we can.

If you'd prefer to ask where you might be needed first, there's a way to communicate with your fellow castaways across great distances. There should be a small, rectangular stone that you found on your person when you awakened? That is a magical device that can be used to speak to anyone holding a similar stone, The Storyteller provides them to us on arrival. You can send a message to a specific person, by picturing them clearly, or to the group as a whole.

[She gives Anthy a reassuring smile, trying to encourage her.]

Discussions can get a bit rambling, with everyone wanting to put in their two cents, but you're always welcome to ask people on the network if you have questions.

[rosehecate]

Oh yes, I did see the stone - I had no idea it could be used in such a way.

[So it's like a telephone? Yeah, telephone makes sense. Okay, she can work with that. Anthy seems to visibly relax, though, at having some idea of how things like this work here.]

I see...I have never been very good at that, but I can try. Maybe...I might go see part of this island on my own first. But not too much.

[Even she knows not to go running into an unfamiliar place without help.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Oh good, she actually knows what phones are. It's the most clear comparison, but Muffet knows by now she shouldn't just assume that everyone here is familiar with technology.]

You're free to do as you think best- much as the rest of us try to, with more or less success. ...Ah, I should add that it's considered polite to put up some sort of warning via the network if you run into anything particularly dangerous, so that others can avoid it.

Hopefully, that won't be necessary, but better safe than sorry.

[rosehecate]

[She nods in understanding - that's just par for the course, isn't it, when you're in the middle of the strange and bizarre. Actually being helpful to others would be a strange change of pace, but Anthy places this advice in her mind and presses it there firmly.]

Alright, I won't forget to do that. [She pauses, putting a hand to her chin.] Do you think this place could be very dangerous?

[prettypurpleparlor]

Mm... [Muffet makes an uncertain gesture, tilting one hand back and forth.] I certainly think that it could be, because anywhere strange and new might turn out to be dangerous, but I haven't seen anything at all to indicate that it is.

[She knows it's not the most reassuring reply, but it's the honest one, and she feels Anthy deserves that much.]

As it is, all we can really do is try to find a good balance between caution and curiosity.
