[Ugh Jake hates doing these things but it's better to do... something when he thinks of it instead of just not say anything and assume everyone else is smarter than him and already thought of it.]

Howdy, fellows and gals! Um, so! I've been... thinking, because of everything, and, um... I thought... we should probably try to uh... have back-up plans in case, you know, one of us ups and vanishes? If you personally go missing? Not a cheery topic I know. But well, it's just a thought I had to share and ummm... I don't think I'm wording myself well? Because I'm trying to say you're all important to someone here, whether it's because of what you do or who you are so... you should have a plan. Yes.

[Ugh this is stupid. But he's already sending it, so.]

Anyhoo, this all came about because no one's seen Valentine but we still need the services of a nurse so I suppose if anyone has thoughts on that... yes.

[ARRIVAL]

[Two girls, one in cloaked dark colours and one dressed in light, soar down on a large bird and land on the base island, near the farm. The blond girl in front dismounts first and turns back to the other.] This is a farm, so there must be people around here of some kind. I didn’t see any buildings from above… but we could look around for something hidden?

[ The cloaked girl follows suit, and dismounts from the bird. She reaches out with her empathy, but doesn’t sense anyone nearby. ] It would have to be hidden well.

[Pink girl smiles.] In that case, we’ll have to look very well to find it! [She gives her bird a pat on the neck.] Fly up and tell us if you see anything, friend! We’ll start the search down here. [The bird takes off; Zelda focuses back on Raven with the same smile.] Are you ready to start looking?

Sure. [ Raven deadpans and floats over to get a better look at the crops. It’s so strange. It’s definitely been tended to recently, but there’s no sign of anyone anywhere. She looks back over her shoulder at Zelda, who is smiling at her. Why does she attract so many friendly people.

Do forgive her if she doesn’t smile back. ] … I’m Raven.

[She is forgiven.] I’m Zelda. It’s very nice to meet you.

[TELEPATHY]

[ While not the most talkative of the duo, Raven decides to test out her new telepathy to see if she can contact anyone on the island, or elsewhere. ] Hello? [ IS THIS THING ON ] My name is Raven. I was under the impression there would be more people here. Guess I was wrong.

[It’s okay, Zelda will have the friendliness for the two of them. She offers warmth and kindness via her thoughts.] My name is Zelda. We both came here in response to a call for help. Can anyone hear us?

Hello everyone!

I'm Eveline Asileinarke. Please feel free to call me Eve. I hope this isn't a problem to you all but would you be as so kind to answer the following below? I wanted to help out around the base somehow and thought maybe I can make sure everyone's birthday is always celebrated/enjoyable.

It's not a lot but I hope it'll be enough to make someone smile on their special day. :D

Because of this, I do need some information to prepare the presents and make sure they're perfect for you.

name. self-explanatory.
birthday. month-day.
favourite colour. it's okay if it's more than one answer to this.
favourite animal. same as above!
favourite flower/plant. if you have one.
candy or cake? what do you like more between the two?
allergies? do you have any allergies that i should be aware of?

Thank you again! Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Feel free to ignore this until after the festivities, but since November starts tomorrow, I thought I'd ask what everyone is interested in including in the island base. Or what structures you would be interested in seeing around the island. So far all that we have planned to my knowledge are the watchtowers - the farm seems to be coming along and we should maybe consider fences or whatever there, but otherwise we don't actually have anything really set in stone.

You should feel free to throw anything out there, and to respond to anyone else. I'll just gradually be collecting the ideas from here and drawing up plans for you all, so long as what you're suggesting is actually within our power to do. But all things considered, I think most things are. This should also give everyone a chance to team up with anyone else who is doing something they wanted to do.

In terms of things I'm doing other than the watchtowers, an aboveground track and training area is something I was personally interested in. To start us off.

Happy Halloween. Try not to break anything too critical.

A: Entrance

[ A boy in a well-worn wetsuit approaches the base, bemusement evident as his gaze sweeps the unfamiliar architecture and looming island landscape. Loki can't help wondering if he took a wrong turn somewhere.

He stops at the base's ground entrance. The ghostly white blob sitting on his head leans down to look at him inquisitively as he knocks on the sturdy metal door. It's doubtful anyone will respond, but it feels like the polite thing to do.

Less politely, he immediately lets himself in. Dripping into the entrance hall, he calls out to no one in particular, with no particular enthusiasm: ]

I'm back...

[ Maybe he'll take a nap... once he finds his room. ]

B: Dining area

[ This is not Loki's room, but there's always time for a snack. Back in his usual black coat and oversized ribbon, Loki lounges at a table and shares an orange with his floating white blob friend. To the spiritually sensitive, it's a sensible enough scene: Loki hands an orange slice to the blob, who happily nibbles it down between stub hands. To the spiritually blind, the slice seems to disappear into thin air after Loki holds it up, and when he starts mumbling it appears as if he's talking to himself. And maybe he is. ]

Were we gone for that long, Ecchan? It's like an alternate universe. Government conspiracy? Bigfoot? El chupacabra? Ha. Ha. Ha...

[ He laughs haltingly at his own private joke and then slumps lamely onto his hand. Nonsense. ]

C. Anywhere!

[ Loki underestimated the extent to which the base has transformed. Once a hopelessly organic but lovable dump of rooms, the base now feels purposed. Organized. Like an institution. It's undoubtedly for the better, yet Loki can't decide if he likes it. Maybe he just needs to sleep on it -- he'll feel better after that nap he's been looking for. He'll consult the next person he comes across in his wanderings, whether they're walking the halls or enjoying themselves in the rec room or, god forbid, swimming in the pool. (No really, why.)

He raises a hand for attention. ]

I have a question.

parodeity

So it's the 31st of october (yes, this is future-dated) and guess what this is an all day Halloween extravaganza. The base is decked out to the best of everyone's abilities, which means. Lots of cobwebs? Lots of tacky skulls and shit because Ed Elric sure was asked to just alchemize whatever and his taste is Questionable? Disco ball bats flying around? Some skeleton robots everywhere, who may or may not be dancing? Yeah. There's also a shit ton of pumpkins, carved and uncarved. And so many snacks. All the snacks. As to what's going on that you might notice, the day's itinerary is as follows:

Morning Activities: If you haven't made a Halloween bucket/basket/bag/whatever, you can either get a premade one from Chihiro, or you can join in a crew of like-minded people in the cafeteria where there's just. A shit ton of art supplies and bags/buckets to be decorated. How many googly eyes can you fit on one bucket? Find out. Or don't. Once you get a carrying thing you will also get a candy stash supply! Everyone gets all 1 type of candy, so they have to go exchange it with other people to get All The Varieties. Because that's the weird exchange/trick-or-treat compromise Dave and Chihiro hit upon, so. You can obviously keep exchanging candies all day long for however long you want. Or you can horde your candy type and get frowned at, idk, the choice is yours alone?? There are also pumpkin-flavored pancakes shaped like pumpkins for breakfast should anyone want any of those?

Afternoon activities: Pumpkin carving, Halloween Bingo, and all the races (Mummy, Maze, and Candy) will all take place sometime in the afternoon; the scavenger hunt lists will also be distributed around lunchtime to anyone who wants to join in. The lists are mostly things Dave would find funny, although he went Easy on any kids who entered because he's a biased guy.

Evening activities: Test of courage (a walk down a HAUNTED!!! hallway with scary skeleton robots jumping out of you and all the peeled grape touching promised), apple bobbing because Dave though that was a good party activity???, scary story telling, and the how many candies are in this here jar game. This is also the Dance portion of the evening. It's. A ton of line dances which Dave has been offering lessons on throughout the day/week/whatever, or which the linedancing skeletons would be happy to teach you. There's also some couple-y dances but mostly it's all group dances that the kids can join in on and also with the cheesiest music possible. The monster mash plays like 15 times. There are lots of snacks here too, all Halloween themed.

Whenever activities: There should also be a horror game livestream happening with Dva, at some point. Also I believe Percy Jackson made a Halloween funhouse so have fun I guess! If I missed something just lmk on plurk or in pm to this journal.

Any and all victories for the contests will be accompanied with much fanfare and ridiculousness, but the costume contest takes the case because Dave will make you get up on stage and put on a 3d printed pumpkin hat and announce Kanaya Maryam as the Halloween Overlord. This title does not see to do much other than allow you to have a linedancing skeleton entourage, but whatever. Ava and Eve are pulled on stage at separate times as they are spotted and both given 3d printed pumpkin...tiaras? They are named Joint Halloween Princesses as they won second and third place together. This title also does not seem to do a lot but whatever.

Go nuts, kids.

9/29 telepathy broadcast
[All things considered there are plenty of worse ways to be transported somewhere. At least he remembers most of it this time. So. Hello Iniidae. If you're…literally…anywhere around the base you might hear the lovely song of the reefbacks. They're also probably not stopping anytime soon. Above the noise of them though there's soon a telepathic broadcast as well.]

I don't think I've ever heard a fish rap before. [If a voice can sound amused via telepathy, this one does. Never mind that to most people it sounds like the gentle call of normal sea life.] Sorry about that. They followed me to the base after they dropped me off, I'll take care of it soon. But in the meantime I'll see about taking requests. Maybe they know some Top 40s hits too.

Anyway, what's up? [He seems like he might leave it at that, but…] Question for you guys: how many of you are working on the base expansion project? I'd like to talk to you. I'm Percy, by the way.

9/29 base

[After some time, it seems as though the noise stops. Anybody who's in the underwater base at this point may be able to look out the window and spot a school of baby reefbacks, the ones apparently responsible for all of the noise in the first place. Now they're swimming in circles and in the middle cutting through the water with ease is a teenage boy. That's all well and good but said-teenage boy also doesn't have a breathing apparatus on him? Nah, he's just sort of swimming around and seems to be laughing each time one of the creatures sends him tumbling through the water. Sorry he's like this, but at least they stopped singing?

It's not long after that he leaves, waving goodbye to the babies and stepping back into the base. He's just as dry as he was when he entered the water and if anybody's in the entryway he sort of just waves and carries on. He doesn't get too far though before he stops at the stairs, glancing around as though he's debating if he should continue or not.]

You've been busy. [He says to no on in particular and he ventures out on his own, checking each room he comes across. Feel free to chat him up, tell him to get lost, wonder what he's doing, ask if they hallucinated he was outside, etc.]

09/28 network video

[ there is a teenage girl with just. way, way too much hair. way too much hair. she looks nervously excited, and waves at the communicator once. so does the chameleon on her shoulder. ]

Um, hi! I'm new? I mean, that's not a question, I'm new, and! I was wondering if anyone is really good at braiding hair? I kinda can't do it all on my own. Or not...quickly? And it's, um, there are so many little passages and stuff around here it's kind of a pain to just leave it down soooooooo. I can cook you something in exchange?

[ a beat. ]

Oh! I forgot. I'm Rapunzel? That's. Also not a question oh my gosh I can't do this anyway even if you can't braid I'm in the kitchen? Making cake and cookies? If you want any? It's kiiiiiind of a holiday for me. A little bit. It's my birthday! So. If you want to drop by that'd be great! If not, that's. Also great? Yeah!! So I should just. Turn...this off now.

[ she needs to work on her awkward levels but she. tried. ]

09/28 base kitchen

[ like she said, rapunzel can pretty much be found in the kitchen all day, just. reorganizing stuff (no one seems to mind? it should be okay?) and chopping and drying the spices magnus chase found like in the tdm and also just. baking cake. lots of cake. and cookies. they have eggs and she can make a ton of shit from scratch okay she's got this even if it's mostly fruit flavored cakes but hey we have cocoa so. she can do chocolate stuff?

she's also probably singing or humming to herself and she'll jump just, super high whenever anyone comes in. ]

Oh! Oh, uh, sorry, you scared me! Not that you're scary. I mean, unless you want to be scary? I'm not sure why someone would want to be scary - er, anyway, hi! Did you want something to eat? I have...lots.

( + one closed prompt )

sup.
that was a rhetorical sup this is just one of those "hey fellow underwater base people, I found x" posts.
this is magnus chase, cousin to the chick who keeps organizing the base.

so anyway I got some seeds from the aurora. (sidenote: why doesn't the base have a real name besides "the base"?)
wheat, corn, some spices, coconut, mint, olives, onions, garlic, jalapenos, rice, blueberries, sweet potatoes, and peas.
the planet is mocking me by giving me peas when I was looking for chickpeas.
so just a psa that the planet hates us. bye.

[Arriving on Base]

[He was vaguely aware of waking up inside a small capsule. If he was to describe it he would liken it to one of those escape pods you see in scifi films. He might have had more to describe if he hadn't been violently jerked out of one perceived reality to another. After all, it was a little hard to go from a rather unpleasant state to suddenly waking up in a small capsule and being attacked by some horrible sea monster.]

Oh what bad luck!

[But as soon as he said that much a laser fired out and monster got distracted going somewhere else. before he knew it something was shooting him out and directly towards the base. Though his legs were a little wobbly, and he definitely needed a moment to gather himself it didn't take too much effort to board. As soon as he walked in he smiled cheerfully.]

It was lucky after all!

[Med Bay]

[Despite a safe arrival he was not in a good state. Being stationary for the minimum of a month, the maximum of who even knows is hard on the body, especially Nagito's body. For the time being he was simply resting in one of the beds, though trying to get up every so often to move around. However, staying here was troubling him. He had taken measure of himself, it was someone else. A person that worried him.]

I guess my assumption was true then....

[Did that mean he failed? He had to know... he had to know if his plan had been successful, if he had saved them! Still... if he was here....

He lifted up his left arm and stared at the hand there. That hand that didn't belong. A woman's hand with red nails....]

This really is unlucky in the end.

[Library]

[It was later at night and Nagito had more or less made camp in the room. There wasn't anywhere else for him to go. Taking a private room didn't feel right, and he couldn't bare the thought of sharing it with others. However, he liked the idea of being where all the books in this place were. He could read them at leisure, and unless someone told him he couldn't stay... well, it was a free space, right?]

Arrival: For Korra

[Kon wakes up the second his body hits the water and it takes him entirely too long to process the fact that yes, he is now somehow submerged in a body of water, and no, he had not been flying over a body of water at all. This is what he gets for flying into swirly vortexes in the sky instead of calling for back up. It is not the first time he's woken up without a clue as to how he got somewhere and it won't be the last, but that doesn't make it any less disconcerting. Even more disconcerting however is that he is just realizing that he is not alone in the water. That is definitely an elbow pressing into his stomach and a knee digging into his side. He blinks stupidly for a second and attempts to disentangle himself from the person (girl???) he'd apparently run into when something else in the water catches his eye.

Something large and not at all man made and heading right towards them and—NO THANK YOU. Kon has seen this movie and he is out of the water and hovering in the air so fast he doesn't even have time to say hello to the (definitely a) girl in his arms who he takes with him without a thought. Chivalry is not leaving ladies behind to be eaten by giant...things.]

What'd, I fall asleep and crash into the set of Jaws 5?!

Base: Open to all (video)

-at is this, like some fancy gadget Robin would—oh hey, is it on? [A face leans into the camera giving everyone a very nice view of a teenage boy with one very stylish fadecut and (one) pierced ear looking like he just walked out of a nineties music video. He steps back when he's sure it's on, eyebrows furrowed for a second before his expression slips into a searching frown.]

Okay so, seeing as there are giant living moving tentacled rock monsters in the ocean, I'm guessing I'm not in Kansas anymore. [Kon's hilarious and would explain the joke to everyone if it wouldn't completely out Superman's identity. Clark ruins all of his fun.] Does anyone know exactly what planet we're on? And what's the deal with this Ursula chick because if she's anything like the one with the tentacles from the movie, I'm not really feeling the trusting her thing. Why does everything here have tentacles...?

I've got about a million questions about what the hell's going on here. Anyone care to fill me in?

8/25: arrival

[ hope you weren't expecting some quiet alone time alone in the showers, because now there's some blonde teenager in a green shirt holding a green shield here now, a fehu rune on a necklace around his neck. who's this loser.

listen. hotel valhalla is hard to navigate, even when you're just taking the elevator from one floor to another. so, when he's not paying attention and finds he's stepped off the elevator to somewhere other than where he meant to go, he's just resigned. when he turns around to get back on the elevator and sees it's gone, that's just. whatever, ok. ]

Great, getting lost is exactly what I planned to do today.

[ that's just mumbled to himself before he looks around at where he is. there's... pods? and the sound of running water. a weirdly high-tech shower room? gods. he's not even in the hotel anymore is he. which world is this, then? did one of the gods drag him here probably. ]

8/25: later, text

[ he would have done telepathy if that didn't sound so weird and intrusive? give him a day before he lets people just talk in his head ok. ]

does anyone know how to make falafel? or know where I can find some without actually making it. that would be better.

also my cousin wants people to play construction crew for her, I guess. bug annabeth chase if that's your thing.

[ did annabeth find him and then make him write that. maybe. ]

8/25: kitchen

[ yes he's just. trying to make falafel. look, it wasn't that long ago an eagle jacked his shwarma just let him eat. there's a sword laying on one of the counters and while magnus is going through things it appears that he's... talking to it. ]

-- a sword know how to cook? You're like an oversized kitchen knife, anyway.

Dude, that's uncalled for. Why would a sword need to know how to make falafel? That's just dumb, kid.

Yeah, sorry.

[ there's a second male voice but. is this kid just doing a second voice or is the sword talking. is there an invisible person who can say. ]
