August Pre-Hurricane Post | Open Mingle

[It's the calm before the storm—or at least the not-quite-so-bad-weather before the storm. The winds are starting to pick up, the ocean is rolling, and all manner of sea creature is heading for cover to ride things out.

But at the base, there's still lots to do as usual. Whether it's getting ready to hunker down, goofing off, or making friends, there's never a dull moment under the sea! Have at it, and remember to check out the OOC planning/mission signups to see what's going on!]

The explanations are worth it. It's what makes the whole thing an experience.

[And they at least have context even if they don't understand the appeal]

Fine. We can have a movie room.

[the recording's been rewinding, though, and the playback of the roar jolts them back to reality]

...another time, though.

[imsorey]

[Startles at the roar and scratches at the back of his head, sheepish]

Right. When we have some free time and things are quiet.

[sighs...]

Sorey, did Lailah ever mention anything about transferring artes to items to you?

[there were like 3958309576 tutorial skits, SURELY AT LEAST ONE MIGHT HAVE COVERED THAT...]

[imsorey]

Uh...

[okay but there were like 3958309579 tutorial skits so]

I don't think so, but I can check my notes. Why do you ask?

I'm no ancient architectural seraphim, but I don't think we'll have a lot of luck relying purely on technology with our limited scope of knowledge. Nor can we rely purely on magic or our own abilities, since we have to keep a distance here. We're already thinking about the hotspots, and Hotaru just mentioned perhaps magical shields for the base.

Obviously there's a lot of people here with a lot of capabilities, but for just our work...I don't know. Inlaid artes like we've seen in some of the ruins seen like the most direct means I can think of to combine the two things.

[imsorey]

Yeah...even a few months isn't enough to catch us up to speed on this technology. I don't remember a specific method off the top of my head, but we may have enough to try experimenting with something small.

[oneandmikleonly]

Check your notes first, all right? I'd hate to blow up the base accidentally.

[imsorey]

That's the last thing I want to do! We'll focus on defense artes first just in case.
