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.

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.

[She brings the bean in to sniff at it, even though it doesn't even smell like coffee right now, it smells like Wet. But that doesn't make her not excited.]
It's kind of candy. It's like, you know tea? Where you like, put leaves in water and it makes a drink? This stuff is kinda like that. You grind it and it makes a drink, but you can also like, eat them sometimes.
no subject
(It's very good but it isn't like candy at all, so she's not sure why Beau wouldn't lead with that. Plus the beans are quite slimy, having come out of the fruit. Yasha picks another berry, peeling it back with her fingernails. There's so many plants, once she raises her head to look at them.)
... Do you think we can just take them?
no subject
Crunching away, even as the bitter taste fills her whole mouth.
Whatever yall, keep talking about this stuff. She'd be happier if they left it here forever. This is Bad. And she hates it. And that's all over her face. Horrible, terrible, bad.]
no subject
Oh my god, you're not just supposed to put it in your mouth if I say it's kinda candy, holy fuck.
[She's wiping it off on her pants now to get all the goop off.]
Sometimes people just eat these though, right? But they usually cover them in chocolate first, so maybe this isn't as good without that. Or is that just a special kind?
no subject
(They really aren't ready to eat straight off of the plant. Yasha watches Ren chew her way through her bean with slight amusement, impressed that she doesn't immediately spit it out... and then exasperated when she continues to try and crunch it, her little expression scrunching up. It must taste so bad.)
Ren, it isn't going to get any better. They aren't roasted.
no subject
This is the worst thing on earth and they should just. You know. Leave it. Leave this terrible food for another islander.]
You should roast them all now. They're all very bad.
[HORRIBLE. The little grains are stuck in her teeth and that bitter taste remains and she's just going to eat a freaking leaf. That'll get rid of this grainy yuckiness maybe-don't mind her. Littlefoot ate treestars. Why not Ren? It's like salad. That's good for you. That's why she grabbed two to shove in her mouth and in between leaf bites, asks-]
Will they taste like candy then?
no subject
I think if you cover anything in chocolate it becomes candy. On account of the uh, chocolate.
[She's looking at the plants though, still delicate. There's a few here, but probably not enough to make an entire cup. But if they take the plants...]
We should take these. The Roaka don't even come out here. If they complain we'll give 'em something from Enso.
no subject
Coffee beans aren't sweet. Or candy, they're... coffee, they taste bitter. Even after they're roasted, you know?
Sorry. (Ren is eating leaves now, she doesn't care. Yasha sighs, and puts her hands on her hips.)
If they wanted them, they could have taken them all this time. We don't have to give them anything.
no subject
Well, they see something she doesn't, so while she keeps gnawing on those leaves, she also grabs a handful of those little bean flowers to put in her pocket.
She might as well get a head start on the looting.]
no subject
Cool. We got anything to carry 'em in right now? If we just rip 'em out they'll probably die.
no subject
(Not really, huh. But then Yasha unwinds her shawl from around her neck and knots the ends together; it makes a pretty good sling-esque holder.)
We can put them in here. They'll be fine until we can get them back.
... Right?
no subject
[They just have to watching out for mold and rotting. That probably won't happen by the time they get back to Enso, but if it does, she's an expert. She'll be the canary in the mold mine.]
I'll say 'look, look' if they turn weird colors.
