March Adventure: I Can Move Mountains

NEW ISLAND: CAHYPDO
Who: Everyone!
What: Cahypdo appears!
When: March 10th and onward
Where: Cahypdo
Warnings: Tag as you go!


We Turn the Tide
As of March 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to Cahypdo.

There is a mana pool situated on E5, to the island's south.

Most of E5 is overcome by a crooked sprawl of coastal cliffs, rocky bumps and swells that make the area a prime spot for tidepools. If one ventures to the region's eastern areas, they're certain to find all manner of marine creatures dwelling in the miniature ecosystems: crabs, clams, starfish, anemones.

If they go east, they'll be greeted by a soft expanse of warm sand. In the distance, the lumpy presence of buildings might be visible on just the next square over. But the local population are more than a little startled to have visitors, and you're bound to see a few curious members of their village wandering out to say hello. None of them, one will note immediately, are armed; either it doesn't occur to them that visitors might be hostile, or they have perfect confidence that hostile visitors aren't a concern.

You can find more information on the Roaka, the inhabitants of Cahypdo, on the island's OOC information. In the meantime, there will be a top-level below for NPC interaction, for those interested in making first contact!

And May Death Find You Alive
Now, we did mention on the island's introductory info post that Cahypdo's landscape isn't altogether stable. The soft sands and soils are prone to sinkholes and even quicksand in dire instances, and those who scale either of the mountains risk being overtaken by landslides and avalanches.

Which is why, on March 15th, there will be a rather sizable earthquake. Sizable enough to cause both mountains to shed heaping piles of slag and debris which may very well wipe out any brave traveler who was currently scaling either peak...or crush any innocents below who don't get out of the way quickly enough.
The Roaka will, at this point, politely ask for your help in repairing and rebuilding any structural damage that has been done their buildings, as well as the general clearing of debris from the farmland at the island's heart. In return, they will gladly offer you some of their food and shelter, assist you with island exploration, and even extend an invitation to certain upcoming festivities they have in mind. Perhaps a celebration for surviving the earthquake...?

You may also use this log as a catch-all for reactions to the earthquake and what assistance you might offer, if any. Or if you simply end up getting in everyone's way. Not that we'd expect that of anyone here, oh no. Not us.



Welcome to the island of Cahypdo! As the island is now accessible, feel free to create new logs of your own, or use this post as a catch-all for exploration! You may also use this log as a reaction to the events on the [DATE] and subsequent efforts to help, if you wish.

Yes.

[The deadpan delivery might make it hard to tell if he's joking or not, which is a fair concern. Tim's mastery of an utterly flat tone of voice has saved him from many a side-eye in his lifetime.]

By definition, yes.
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-05-04 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, no, absolutely not. By definition, no, because they're my cousin's kid.

[That really is an impressive deadpan, though, whether he's joking or not. She feels like she should be taking notes.]
postictal: (an even bigger mood)

[personal profile] postictal 2019-05-04 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Cousin's not here. You're parenting by proxy.

[He'd say that this is the stupidest argument he's ever gotten into, but it's not, really, he's pretty sure. That would be ignoring every single shitty argument he's ever gotten into with Jay, ever.]
bitch4bitch: (ya hair is stupid)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-05-12 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm... aunt-ing. I'm their aunt, so there's a pre-established relationship there, so there's no need for any claims of me being any kind of a parent here!

[She's PRETTY sure that sums it up ok!!]

Suit yourself.

[He apparently isn't committed enough to this exchange to start splitting semantics.]

What was your point, anyway?
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-05-15 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Fair enough, given that it was dumb as hell to begin with.

Erika lets out a breath and shoves another chunk of debris aside - just with her foot this time, she'll pick it up properly in a bit.]
I dunno. Maybe just like, a reminder not to bury yourself in children and work.
postictal: (uh huh sure | smoking)

[personal profile] postictal 2019-05-15 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
What do you propose I do instead?

[If the answer is "his version of fun," he's not sure he has one. Not really. Not one that he could manage here. Day to day survival is proving more important, is all.]
bitch4bitch: (i'm not saying it looks better on me)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-05-18 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Make sure you have some kinda time to yourself? To just... not worry about other people's shit. Like, yeah, this place is pretty rough, but I think by now you can probably afford to go read a damn book, or whatever you do for fun.

[Yep, there's that word, alright.]

postictal: (this shit'll kill you | smoking)

[personal profile] postictal 2019-05-18 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Fun. Yeah. That's your problem, right there.

[Assuming he's ever really given a shit about his own sense of fun. Can't remember the last time he had fun for its own sake. It slips in here and there, happens of its own accord, but he's not about to go seeking it out.]

[How do you explain that you have genuine, medical difficulties experiencing happiness or pleasure without making it sound weird? You don't. So he doesn't even bother.]


I'm good.
