['Even if it's poisonous, it'll still be exciting to try it.' That's a philosophy that's gotten her into trouble more than once. The Koosh Fruit had really been exciting, even after Nonon's warnings not to poison herself. She had waited until they were undoubtedly safe, then looked for ways to use or prepare it. All of her preparations couldn't have prepared her for this, though--that a small quantity was delicious, but a large quantity has laid her out flat.]

Saltutns. Horou speaking. Advise others to consume minimal amnts of fruit plant in newly discovered "koosh Biome." Or perhaps find alternate method of preparation. Tastes fine. Other foods on the planet and the farm are much more forgiving however. If I ate more, I believe I would either hallucinate or perish. I'm experiencinggg abdominal pain and head hurt. Don't worry about Horō! I have a "brass stomach" and will be fine. Eating it was very exciting! I will try again if someone finds new recipe. Once recovered I would like to go on a trip! Sooon. [Gonna elaborate on that one? No? Okay.]

I feel bad.

[Rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated. As it turns out, we came up with a plan that got us through the volcano with minimal damage. For once, we made the choice that ended in the least disaster. Now, we just have to keep taking care of the planet it a way that's less road-to-helly and more good-intentionsy.

So...You're still alive. It's May now. Animals need saving, possibly from Nancy's curiosity.

Will you go looking for the new Koosh Bush? Are you concerned about the animals who may have been displaced by the volcano?

Will you finally sympathize with URSULA's demands for terraforming and build a nice little island for ~~the cat~~ Naoko and her crew? Well, probably nothing will go terribly wrong this month.]

[It's two in the morning. Do you know where your John Egbert is?

This one is located in his bed; his sleep schedule completely buggered ever since the volcano incident and he now lays wide awake staring at the ceiling. He's not alone, but that's nothing new since Roxy explained her sleepwalking situation. He doesn't mind. Alone to his thoughts without adequate distraction for several days has allowed him to think about certain things. And he's come to a startling realization about how he feels about topics that have LITERALLY BEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM FOREVER.]

...God. Dammit.

[Carefully, he pulls free of his bed and walks to the door, grabbing a few items on his way there. Once he's out of the observatory and secure in the dining area, he takes a deep breath before...]

I am so... FUCKING STUPID!

video | public;

I am in need of someone to bang me on the head. Months. MONTHS and I didn't realize what my problem was!

[John is angrily playing a game of spider solitaire in front of his camera. He appears dressed and yet, his pants are dangling in the background on another chair, with an iron in view.]

Was I the only one oblivious, or were other people as clueless as I was? Please, tell me if you did so I can get a flow chart going on how thick I am. I'll mount it on my wall. All day and all night without a clue in the world how I was feeling. Arrrrrgh!

[John sets down a few cards and rests his forehead on his hand while propping it up on the table.]

Want to be asleep right now, but I'm just wide awake. Thanks for that, volcano.

despairing_hope

[The volcano was going to erupt any minute, their lives were on the line, and Komaeda was looking at the camera with a tired expression.]

Of course today will be the day we may all die.

[He sighed deeply.]

How unlucky.

lamortespoir

[ It's time to get out there and put our plans into action! Team Magic, work your magic, and Team Science, work your science. With luck and all the elbow grease everyone's putting in, we managed to pull through.

The volcano will go boom on the 28th and continue booming until the 30th, but everyone can catch a break after the first day. Hunker down in the underground base waiting it out, or pass the hell out to catch a well-deserved nap. Or you could run around stuffing food and water into the hands of people who forgot to eat while the whole escapade was going on. Try not to trip over the birddogs and other critters while you're at it.

Hey, we made it. Congratulations? ]

ATTENTION UNFORTUNATE MEMBERS OF THIS CREW.
THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING.
HAHA JUST KIDDING, WHO THE FUCK WOULD WANT TO BE CAPTAIN OF THIS CLUSTERFUCK?
IT'S KARKAT. I KNOW THE CAPSLOCK IS VERY TELLING, BUT I AM BEING KIND ENOUGH TO DROP THE BOLD GRAY FOR YOUR ASSES BECAUSE I HEARD IT IS MORE ACCOMMODATING, SO PERHAPS YOU CANNOT TELL THAT IT'S ME.
AND BEFORE YOU ASK, NO, I AM NOT ALSO DROPPING THE CAPS.
JUST GET USED TO IT, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
ALTHOUGH NOW THAT I REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY NORMAL FONT AND THIS... HUH.

ANY-FUCKING-WAY, I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GOOD TIME RUNNING ALL OVER THE OCEAN FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS!
GOOD NEWS, WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
EXCEPT FOR AN IMPENDING VOLCANIC ERUPTION THAT WILL POTENTIALLY SET OUR ASSES SO ABLAZE THAT THEY CAN STAR IN A FILM STARRING HUMAN SETH ROGEN AND HUMAN JAMES FRANCO.
PROTIP: ALL OF THEIR MOVIES ARE SHIT AND YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A MORE ENJOYABLE EVENING JUMPING INTO THE HIGHLY ACTIVE VOLCANO THAN WATCHING ANY OF THEM.
I HAVE SO MANY REGRETS IN LIFE AND ACTUALLY WATCHING PINEAPPLE EXPRESS WAS ONE OF THEM.

OK MOVING ONTO THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY RELEVANT TO OUR CURRENT SCENARIO.
ANY THOUGHTS? HOW SHOULD WE PROCEED?
I ASSUME WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET NAOKO TO MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT THOSE GUYS HAVE BEEN SO MARRIED TO THAT ISLAND THAT I THINK THEY WILL HAVE TO FILE FOR DIVORCE JUST TO BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE ITS SHORE AT THIS POINT.
BUT IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS FEEL FREE TO SHARE THEM WITH THE REST OF US BEFORE WE ALL DIE AND/OR ARE OTHERWISE INCONVENIENCED.
ALSO IF IT DOES BLOW UP, HOW WILL THIS AFFECT US DRAMATICALLY THROWING OUR UNWANTED ITEMS INTO THE VOLCANO?
DO YOU THINK WE'D STILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT, OR........

With the assistance of his BFF Dave and Dirk, John has set up a chill barbecue out on the island for people to get together and enjoy good food and friendly company. If it can reasonably be barbecued into something edible, guaranteed there is some of it present for cooking along with any and all condiments. There is a distinct absence of baked goods however and only a few hints that suggest John is actually celebrating his birthday.

John can be found helping with the barbecuing, being friendly while wearing the largest and best hat ever complete with matching handlebar mustache. If you came without a hat, somehow... Somehow he has found one for you. In addition, John has invited any newcomers to join the relaxing festivities.

Later, John will be sharing his favorite film with anyone that can stomach it. Any attempts to complain about said movie will fall on deaf ears.

Other than that, eat, drink and prank each other as you please!

(ooc: let me know if you want me to fish out a silly hat from the ether that is the internet)

hey everyone. since dave reminded me about my birthday and i forgot to send out invitations, i guess i'll just go ahead and use this to get them across.

going to have a barbecue tomorrow and i'd like to give everyone a chance to join if they're interested in hanging out and eating barbecued fish and stuff.... edible stuff.

on one condition.

the theme is silly hats. and you either gotta come up with one i approve of, or i will make you one!

text | private to close friends;

hey guys. i hope you don't mind the mass invite. i already met a few people here that i wanted to invite and i figured... since everyone isn't around that it would be nice to get them in on it. obviously i'll help out with preparations.

also, you are all getting silly hats too. i already made you guys some.

Hello everyone, this is Sanson.

Last month, Sorey, Mikleo and I brought back the Emperor's egg. I have been trying to build an incubator for it. It is almost finished, though it is missing some parts to keep the environment inside regulated.

URSULA has pointed me to find these in the Aurora, or on the Lost River base. Would anyone have the time to come with me?

I would also like advice on finishing up the incubator and anything else that you think I should add.

Thank you.

[ ooc: Sanson's starting to build an incubator! He will be able to get the basic structure done but he has no idea how to do the inside so he'll need everyone's help. If your characters get roughed up at the anenomalies, he can also treat them for injuries/heal them if necessary. Let me know if you'd like him somewhere! ]

[ACTION]

[Hiccup finally made it to the base with Toothless in tow. He looks around the interior of the base, his survival kit pulled close to his chest, a few of the pieces from it resting on Toothless' back. Everything was so alien to him. Designs, smooth metal. No wood... The viking notices Toothless' unease and reaches a hand out to the black dragon's head.]

Easy bud. We'll find a room or something which we can call our own. [The dragon gurgles in protest, but he leans into Hiccup's comforting hand

Hiccup couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by all this. This was much more than what he expected. Everything looked so different from Berk.

He spots someone down the hallway and waves his arm. His metal leg taps against the floor as he rushes to get their attention.]

Ah, hello? Can I ask you a few questions?

[TEXT]

okay this is kinda like terror mail, yeah? geez, and to think i almost scribbled on this thing!

anyways, i was wondering if anyone had any fishing supplies on hand? or even some fresh fish in general? my dragon and i arrived not too long ago, and toothless is getting a little cranky.

...are the fish here even safe to eat? i never considered that.

anything helps! and i guess i should introduce myself. im hiccup.

sniptuck

hellooooo crewmates!!
i was wondering if anyone has noticed anything interesting from any of the places ursula has sent us to check out? (￣▽￣)ノ
i figured we should group up and share anything to see if we can figure out what might be going on!!!

we can talk about other things too if you hadn't gone anywhere yet
whaaaaaat's your favorite fish? i love reefbacks they are so soft

parodeity

hey so anyway
about the how we got here mystery im not sure any of us ever thought wed solve
time to praise me because i solved it
i got annoyed and backtracked
warper portals + warpers are the answer
and precurser tech or wtfever i guess
which
i guess warpers might be precurser tech anyway?
did we decide one way or the other re that
i cant fucking recall
but anyway
ill answer questions i you have them but i mean i literally just went back in time
and spied on us
because not knowing was stupid
it not having occurred to me sooner was also stupid but like
whatever
the more you know
pretty sure you cant avoid this bullshit nonsense when it occurs
given what i saw
but whatever
now were all aware of the inevitable possibilities huzzah for us

in other news
i will have been a mother for a year on the ninth next month
which is to say itll be the magisters birthday
what do you think alien fish want to do on their birthdays
because roses ideas so far wig me out ever so gently
which i assume is the purpose behind them so gold star for rose lalonde
you successfully creeped out your brother
actually no i dont want to give her a gold star itll only encourage her
and she doesnt *need* any further encouragement
anyway the topic was the magister and birthday things
i mean obviously ill ask him
but i feel like polling the populace cant go wrong
and i feel weird leaving this so short
there was like more to the first thing originally but i got informed that
basically the first part up there was what i needed and stopping there would be good

and now
i am not stopping there
shit ok im ending this bye

oh one more thing tho
egbert wtf do you wanna do on the 13th?
you have a week to decide jackass
ive had experience planning parties now i can make that a thing
w/out cake lest you have a mental breakdown in technicolor
i guess i could have just texted you this question but whatever
everyone else should know about your coming of age too just in case they somehow missed the alert

also @ everyone maybe be careful about handing nancy live samples
like
animals
im not 100% shes the most ethical scientist around so just like
strongly consider that as you do ig?
i could be wrong of course
but i think its worth being a little paranoid when it involves actual living creatures
and not just plants
although ig plants have souls here
so id be cautious about them too
dirk hurt a rock once it was sad
but it got better
but maybe that means we should also be cautious about plants????

also i think its fairly obvious by now and most people know but
my sleeping quarters are now @ hephaestus tower and have been for a few months
because best browser
but anyway no solicitors allowed not that itd be easy
b/c i didnt see a need to put in doors or accessible entries
but like
just so people know that tower is hella occupied
and to leave it be
tho i think most of them are still like free to take over if you really want

anyway later
i think i circumvented what editing was done to this mostly on accident
oops

edit: thats how we get kicked out too fyi
the precurser tech and warpers
for at least 2 people i checked
so hey

[Whether you opted to venture into a dangerous zone or stick to safer waters this time, here's a catchall for all of your investigation threads! Take some time for yourselves, too, and don't go out on too many missions!

URSULA will be collecting this information until the 14th.

Mission information is over here!

Of course, these missions aren't the only things that will be happening the first half of this month. If you want to use this post for other sorts of threads or toplevels, feel free! I'm not your mom.]

“...Ah!?”

Touma awoke. His first instinct upon regaining consciousness was to try to get a grasp on his current situation. Before his world was consumed by darkness, he distinctively remembered a visitor appearing within his apartment. The details about this individual was hazy. Try as he might, any attempt to recall anything specific about them was futile. All he could truly remember was what they declared themselves to be and the aftermath of their statement. A shiver ran down his spine. There was no way that shouldn't been possible. He couldn't accept it.

The thought his world was once again taken from him on a whim of a God was not something his heart could just readily accept.

Taking in a few slow breaths to calm himself, Touma decided to prioritize figuring out where he is. He was currently inside a container of some kind. Unlike the last container he had the misfortune of being stuffed inside, this one had a window in the front. Outside, he could spot a variety of medical equipment. Was he inside a hospital? Turning his attention away from the window, he searched for a way to escape the confinement. To his surprise, all it took was gentle push to open the door and free himself from his imprisonment. His luck usually isn't that generous.

Cautiously, he stepped out and began exploring his new surroundings. It quickly became apparent to him that he wasn't the only person occupying the room. After a moment of hesitation, Touma decided to talk to them. Hopefully, they will turn out to be friendly.

"Hello! Sorry to be a bother, but I'm a little lost. Would you mind giving me some directions?"

Although he was smiling, anyone who was observant enough would be able to notice how tense he actually was.

action:

[ If there's one thing obvious about the fully-armoured knight in the middle of the hallway, she (or he?? it's very hard to tell) is drenched. Absolutely soaked. Water drips almost comically from the horns on her helmet, and she leaves a wet trail on the floor with every step.

The second most obvious thing: she's pissed. Maybe even understandably. She had to beat up some stalkers that tried to take her armour just to get here. ]

What. The. Hell. [ Worst summoning ever. She stomps furiously through the base, ignoring anything that might actually provide an explanation, and instead accosts whoever is unlucky enough to be in her path. ] You! What kind of second— no, third-rate Master are you, summoning me like that?!

[ Answer carefully. ]

text, some time later:

where can i get some clothes in this stupid place

[ Yeah, that bad mood hasn't gone anywhere. ]

[As far as Max's concerned, it has definitely, absolutely been too long since Rin and Makoto disappeared. And Max has definitely, absolutely been listening to Yuri too much. Because it's time to go out looking for them. If they haven't gotten kidnapped by aliens or something.

She shifts on her feet, fidgeting with her camera as she waits for Yuri to show up, along with, who was it...

Erina! Right, he said he was bringing along Erina. Some sorely-needed extra help here.

Max looks up as soon as she hears someone approach, already slowly raising a hand to wave.]

[Save the stalkers! By beating the heck out of a reaper.

A few of the girls on base have decided to make a spectacle out of defending the stalker feeding grounds. Turning a fight into a show will lessen the humiliation for the poor Reaper, right?

Right?

Well, probably not, but this group is going to turn their Reaper fight into a show, complete with flashy moves, ridiculous wrestling nicknames, and hand-to-hand combat, even for those of us who may be more adept at ranged fighting.

After the reaper has been soundly thrashed (we hope), everyone will return to base to hang out and see what planet resources can be used to create 100% natural bath and wellness products, with a focus on those things that are most easily harvested with the least harm done to the planet.]

((Mission request is up> here! If you're not in the original group but your character would be into "girl's" night (loosely defined) shenanigans, send me a message somewhere and then feel free to hop in! I don't want to exclude anyone.))

[Well it's nice that we can talk now! The storm kicked up some trouble so why don't you go help out? There's debris of things from home you may now have the chance to dig up, or maybe someone will help find them with you? There are also debris deposits that URSULA has located about. Grab a friend or two and go check them out!

There is of course also the ordinary work around the base to be done: building and repairing, exploring regions, trying to befriend every single thing we meet. Or maybe you just wanna play video games.

OOC post for missions etc]

quadjumps

a few things.

1. do we have a dance studio around here
not a dance floor but a studio with mirrors.
if not, someone make one.

2. has anyone seen rin and makoto anywhere?? dumbasses aren't answering my texts and haven't been back to the room in a few days. thanks.

[So, someone walking down one of the hallways might find their path blocked by what is almost a literal pile of cats. There's a child none of them have seen before sitting in the middle of them, patting one of them and meowing at it. He does switch to speaking normally at times, though.]

Wow, you guys know everything about this place! So there isn't an attic, huh...where do you guys usually hide?

[He'll hiss in surprise once he notices anyone approaching, and leap to his feet, looking around for somewhere to run to.]

You saw nothing!

[It'll probably be easy to catch him before he runs, especially with all the cats blocking his way as well.]
