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.

Well, you'd have to ask them. I'm not the one who hands out those fetching little stones! You can come back here and ask me yourself if you end up needing me so badly until then. It's a brisk walk, very good for the lungs!

[deathfindsaway]

Right, I-- of course.

[At least this is something he can do, a way to thank them aside from doing the work he asks. Of course, that reminds him there's dirty work to be done, and he sighs as he tries to steel himself for this. Maybe he can slide his way into more finessed work next time.]

I'll let you know what I can do.

[thankgods]

You're doing quite a lot already. [They sound very approving, and they step back, their hole now very well-dug.]

Go ahead and shovel it in here. Makes for wonderful fertilizer, you see.

[deathfindsaway]

[Oh. Oh, well, if it's approving-- maybe it's not so bad, then.]

Right-- right! Of course.

[He'll just wash off later. It is for a god after all.]

[thankgods]

Thank you ever so much for your cooperation. You know so very few of you bothered to lend a hand while you were asking all your questions?

[deathfindsaway]

Well, I-- forgive us for being wary, but there's been very little friendly contact with other islands since our arrival here. To my understanding, the last time most of us saw other people, we were met with significant hostility. The island after that was entirely empty. We're... a bit devoid of contact, to be frank.

[thankgods]

And? I don't see what that has to do with anything! There's no reason you can't work andtalk at the same time. You were just doing it. [Said in a tone of voice that implies: well, if you could do it, couldn't anyone?]

[deathfindsaway]

Well, I simply mean they may be-- concerned about going somewhere alone with someone new, under the circumstances? Many aren't terribly respectful of gods either though.

[Gosh, the group of them. How rude.]

Still, very sorry, I'll-- see what I can do to motivate their efforts.

[thankgods]

That would be very kind of you. No matter if it succeeds or fails - your own work ethic is the only one you truly have control over, isn't it?

[deathfindsaway]

[He nods, maybe a bit hurried.]

Right, well-- I'll help as much as I can.

[Even if he'll be looking for other, uh... duty next time.]

[thankgods]

[Harv manages to look quite pleased at that, which is a curious thing for a sheepdog to convey.]

Excellent. I appreciate that. What matters is that you really and earnestly try, you know.
