I need a group of people to go the Jelly Shroom Caves and bring me back samples of the eponymous flora. A few samples of the fauna would be excellent too. Preferably Crabsnakes, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at Boxing Snail samples either. I'd rather them dead, but if you can transport live ones, I won't turn down a chance to examine them either.

Come to the lab for booster shots against the Shroom Sickness if you are going there and don't have a natural defense against it.

A. "I pretend like I'm in Ireland, with Enya and the whales..."

[The Monolith is dark when Chara wakes up. For a second they think they've been transported away again, but when their eyes adjust they realize the pod they'd been sleeping in had popped open for whatever reason.

It's not disorientation that keeps them staying where they are. It's not fear, either. It's a monstrous disappointment crushing their chest. Chara wonders if it'd be worth it to climb back into the pod. They sit and mull over the thought, idly swinging their feet.

In the end, they pick up their communication device and put on their diving gear.

Are you swimming around? Because you may spot a small child somewhere in the vicinity stabbing an unfortunate fish with their survival knife.]

B. Actual Sushi Chef Chara LaBeouf

[You're walking alone in the base at night. There's no one around and the lights are out. Out of the corner of your eye you spot them:

Chara.

With a fistful of airsacks.

They're kinda dripping all over the floor.]

What? Do you want one?

Any laundry that is not claimed at the day's end will belong to me. Thank you =)

9/30, laundry room [one response only!]
[Frisk remembers falling forward. They remember salt in their mouth and water pressing cold against their skin and the dark rising up to meet them. Now, though, they find themselves upside down and landing heavily on their stomach on something soft and warm. They're feeling pretty warm, themselves, actually, and not wet anymore. They feel around and find a hinge, so they push.

Frisk tumbles out of the dryer and onto the floor, bringing some of the clothes along with them.

Ah. This isn't a beach, is it?]

9/30, aquarium
[It looks like Frisk has found fish! A lot of fish. Some of them look like little manta rays, but the most prominent one has little tentacles and a face that seems to be smiling at them. When it approaches the tank, it takes Frisk a moment before they realize the fish is fist bumping.

Once they do realize, though, Frisk giggles and returns the motion. Once, twice, again, again... Frisk runs around the tank fist bumping in various places and watching the cute fish swim to meet them.]

9/30, safe shallows
[Frisk is going way too fast. They grabbed one of the sea glides, you see, and while they weren't entirely sure how to work it, they really wanted to try it. Maybe this wasn't the smartest idea, because not only are they only a novice swimmer, they're not used to moving through it so quickly. Wait, is that someone else?]

Look out!

I'm disappointed to see a lack of diversity in our entertainment. Given the work we're doing, I thought there'd be a greater selection to choose from.

Therefore, I propose we use this space to bring URSULA's attention to any media she should have in her databases. We clearly can't accept whatever people suggest willy-nilly, so I will preside as a judge to help filter submissions.

Here is my contribution:

Top 5 Animes of All Time (Not Up For Debate)
1. Death Diary
2. Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 2
3. F8/Magical Future Dream
4. Hellchorus
5. Neon Elfen Tales: Nightmare Fall Reloaded

Discuss the merits of your top five shows. Provide a short synopsis so I know exactly what I'm to judge.

[ rose puts on her most charming smile when she starts recording, beaming into the camera with bright eyes. ]

So, you know, a lot's been happening lately, and I don't know about you guys, but I've been thinking this place is missing something.

[ she puts a finger to her lips and lets a few seconds tick by to keep everyone in Suspense, as if this is some sort of huge and monumental idea. which it is. ]

Can someone tell me why there's no place a girl can get a mug of beer around here? Y'know, a bar? Doesn't anyone else miss alcohol? I know, I know, drink responsibly and all that, but... seriously, nothing? Plus, I'm sure at least one of us knows how to make a decent cocktail.

[ she shakes her head with an exasperated sigh. ]

There has to be some good stuff around here somewhere. I'm not picky. You think URSULA keeps a hidden stash?

[ URSULA, she hopes you can hear her. also, rose knows that the answer is an extremely probable no, but what's the harm in tossing the (still, very low, close to nonexistent low) possibility out there. ]

Everything is just... way too tense. Some of you could probably stand to lighten up a little. So since no one else has done it, I'm proposing the idea of a serious addition to the base.

[ is alcohol even a thing here...... ? it'd better be or else she's going to be kind of pissed? ]

[A STUBBORN AND FOOLHARDY GROUP OF EXPLORERS FALL ASLEEP AND SWIM INTO A DEEP DARK OCEAN ABYSS

There’s no punchline that’s actually what they’re doing. ]

((you can go ahead and join in even if you didn't sign up for the mission in the planning post! read here for info and assume you got a brief background rundown. there’s toplevels for different bits of the trip; go ahead and poke around wherever you want to be and jump each other freely!

[ It happens too fast. The portal opens up around them and Ed's sure they won't make it out alive this time. There are too many sacrifices, too many questions, and when he comes to, he isn't sure where he is. He's been 'helpfully' sorted, but all Ed can see and feel is scrap metal. The container is dark, and when he moves, the scrap makes a lot of noise. ]

What the hell?! Teacher? A-Al?

[ He flails, his own automail arm and leg causing a clatter, the noise echoing.

This isn't Amestris, this isn't where he's supposed to be. The Gate dropped him somewhere. ]

Hey! [ He's half buried, so the amount of noise he's making almost drowns out his voice, until he's finally able to beat on a wall, until he finally falls out of the scrap pile, the container doors opening, and into the corridor. ]

What's going on here? Who did this?! What have you done with my friends?

[ He's fired up, and you might well get a short, screaming teen in your face. He might also not realize that he's broadcasting around, too, his emotions too high to notice anything different about himself or this place. ]

LISTEN UP EVERYONE!!!

i know there have been a lot of info dumps lately, but this is really important, okay and i will graciously provide a tl;dr at the bottom. you're welcome.

~

kei and i went to investigate the monolith when the lights were going all crazy and we found some important stuff

- the lights were actually programmed to be a distress signal that can be seen from outer space to flag down other ships
- here's something i recorded, it was password-protected so this is really important stuff obviously lol

"We found something pretty weird on the last planet we were on but nothing compared to this one. All right I'm just going to save a picture here and head out but this definitely needs to be saved. Chris keeps joking this is why you don't trust doctors but come on, we know it wasn't a usual serum cocktail that did this? He just hates doctors."

HERE IS THE PICTURE IN QUESTION!! I HOPE YOU'RE READY
YEAH!!
wtf is this?? idk the result of some experimentation? (valentine you better not try to turn anyone into a weird tentacle monster ==)

oh yeah and shiro and i found a bunch of weird stuff down in the dunes.

- movie posters! there's one of the titanic, jaws, idk popular stuff just come and ask me if you want one bc i don't want any of them unless it's of Hero of my Storm. (that's my movie btw)
- there's a container of bullets, but i'm keeping those somewhere away from people who may be trigger happy or bloodthirsty so don't get your hopes up
- two hazmat suits with designs on them that look like they're straight from a 90s kid's show. whatever they're still useful

~

TL;DR: we found a bunch of new materials in the dunes, and some important info on the monolith. if you care about solving the mysteries of this planet you should actually read it up above :)

so there's everything!! lmk if you have any questions, i'll have more to report later on~ ^_^

love, d.va

[ Everyone's busy with arrivals, but back in the base, there's a shock of electricity that visibly zaps through the waters. It happens once, twice, three times... and then stops. Odd, isn't it. Like seeing lightning zap through the waters briefly.

But then, no less than ten minutes later: a loud, tinny, sorrowful and yet very sexy and campy-sounding wail. It echoes from the hatch of the base, the departure bay, down the halls, and there's an accompanying smell to the noise. Crispy, fried, and fishy. Burned, yet oddly appetizing for some.

The wailing continues all the way to the kitchen area, where the 7' glambot dumps a huge armful of charred (or alive, but stunned) fish onto the ground while flamboyantly departing. Still wailing. ]

alienates

OK SO EVERYONE, LISTEN UP. I HAVE SOME PRETTY IMPORTANT NEWS HERE.
AND I MEAN *ACTUALLY* IMPORTANT. STOP FEEDING THOSE DIGITAL CATS FOR TWO SECONDS AND READ THIS.

ANYWAY, SO I'M SURE EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT NAOKO'S GROUP OVER AT THAT ISLAND WITH THE VOLCANO.
AND HOW SHE MENTIONED SOME WAR THAT EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS SAD EXCUSE OF A UNIVERSE IS HAVING.
OR AT LEAST I ASSUME YOU ALL KNOW? A LOT OF YOU ARE NEW SO I HAVE NO CLUE HOW CAUGHT UP YOU GUYS ARE?
SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL, EVERY TIME I BLINK THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE FALLING OUT OF THE SKY OR SOMETHING DRAMATIC.
JUST CHILL WITH THESE ENTRANCES?
OK SO BACK TO THE MATTER AT HAND, WHICH I WILL REPEAT, IS PRETTY USEFUL INFORMATION TO KNOW SO DON'T JUST SKIP OVER READING THIS BECAUSE IT'S ME TALKING.
DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE.

( this gets long so lmao )

[ Roxy is very excited; this is something she's been working on secretly for months now. If you were annoyed by all of the pumpkins around the base, don't worry-- it's about to pay off. Her compulsive voidy-thinging of pumpkins eventually rewarded her with a monstrosity of a plant. She was able to gene-sequenced it, splicing and separating the DNA into two different plants: grapes and cocoa. They were planted on Mountain Island months ago, in a secret location she affectionately refers to as "The Garden of Weedin'". Not even Dirk knew of it's location, and he's been privy to the secret project from the start.

Her voice is loud and giddy in your head, broadcasted to whoever is within reach. She's been dying to surprise everyone for what feels like forever! ]

Sup guys! Ro-Lal here with a heads up: we have grapes and cocoa beans now? But they ain't ready yet. I'll need loootsa help harvesting them soon. The grapes should be ready in a few weeks, 'n the cocoa beans should be ready by the end of next month. If you wanna help, lemme know. Hot, shirtless hunks are encouraged to volunteer. Pantsless hunks are fine, too. Shirtless and pantsless hunks should just disregard this announcement and come see me immediately. Hahaha, wooooonk.

Aight, later darlings. Mwah! [ smooches ♥ ]

napstablook

[ This telepathic message sidles into your brain like it's trying not to be noticed. ]

Hey... could someone... help me... build a thing...

... Or not... don't worry if you can't.

Anyway... thanks... if you do...

... Or if you don't.

mythbuster

[ The kitchen is patched up. The shower hallway is fixed. The worst of the hurricane that busted holes in their base seems to be over, and everyone can go outside again. Everything should be fine now.

Except for all these newcomers?? They won't stop coming. The base is packed, always. It's mildly stressful, and so to help Loki find his happy comfort zone, he fixes himself a mug of tea and heads over to the library for a bit of quiet time. There are so many people loitering around in the hallways this morning that he has to carefully weave his way around, avoiding stray elbows and hustling pedestrians. But perhaps it was inevitable -- he turns a corner, only to run into one Hinata Hajime.

His mug falls to the floor. Hot tea splashes on the walls and at their feet, the violent streaks remnants of Loki's hopes and dreams for the morning. Explicit tea gore, everywhere. Loki stares at the liquid carnage in shock. Then he begins to shake. And like a volcano, he explodes. ]

AHHHHH!

[ He cannonballs into the brains of anyone in range: ]

Enough. We're building more rooms for people to sleep in. Now. If you want to be guaranteed a room, you work. The only people exempt are the sick or otherwise unsuitable. If you can gather materials, transport them, or help with furnishing rooms, then you're officially on the job.

[ Next, he points up at Hinata. ]

You. You're helping with this.

(( OOC: The actual building of rooms and furniture can be handwaved! Despite what Loki says, pretty much anyone can have a room. They'll be big 6-person rooms to share with your fellows. Responses will come from either Loki (who will probably bully you) or Hinata (who will herd you gently) or both!

Also: check out this spreadsheet (there are two tabs) and assign your character to a room! If you would like a few additional details or to plot OOCly, check out this OOC post here. ))

[Past the 9th of the month, the hurricane's finally blown itself out, leaving a great deal of mess behind (but at least, a lot less mess than there would have been without the crew's various antics, right?)

After the calm there's the storm, but after the storm, there's...uh, actually, it's not all that calm again yet. Look at all these notable goings on that you can play with:

SICK PEOPLE are still a thing. Are you still suffering from the ravages of alien cave flu? Finally finding the energy to crawl out of bed? Starting to come down with it yourself? Getting dosed with cure attempts? Doing the dosing? Or maybe you're not sick at all but went hurricane surfing and are now prone in the medbay. It's been a rough couple of weeks.

The HURRICANE'S AFTEREFFECTS still linger. Fish in the base aquariums and biomes are just starting to resume their regular activities. Maybe some of your special fish friends are still spooked and need some coaxing out? Maybe you want to swim out to a more distant biome to check on creatures like the Reefbacks or the Birdogs? Or maybe you want to stick closer to home and do things like finish repairing the busted corridors, and cleaning out the kitchens and showers so the food and bathing situation doesn't descend back into complete travesty.

For those who've started wandering out, there's also FAMILIAR ITEMS washing up -- things from your home, or at least...someone's home. Is an embarrassing photo of you now plastered against an observatory window for the world to see? Your fancy car from home buried in the sand of the Safe Shallows?

Lastly, on the night of the 13th (and subsequent nights...), a distant DISCO LIGHTSHOW becomes totally visible on the horizon, in the Monolith's direction. What the heck? Maybe that's worth checking out.

And of course, there's always PLANNING, MISSIONS AND SHENANIGANS to do. Go nuts!]

imsorey

[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!]

nobeans

[ Kei likes onsens but this is just too much! So last thing he remembers is just hitting his head, so that's always nice, right? Then... Nothing else, really - until his eyes snap open in a steamy, warm room that reminded him like the onsens back at home.

. . . Yeah, this would've been better if he wasn't fully clothed because now he feels completely uncomfortable because his flowy kimono is just sopping wet.

It could've been worse though! At least there are no people around!? It saves him from some embarrassment, so he definitely doesn't hesitate to hop out of the water. Kei rings out the obi of any access water and ties that around his head again. ]

Ahh... Seriously... This is such a pain.

[ and now he's grumbling to himself. He knows it won't get him anywhere though. He should... Probably find whoever brought him here, huh! Kei's kind of grumpy since he was dropped into nice onsen water with his clothes on! Now he looks like an angry, wet cat honestly.

Whatever! He's GOING, he's GETTING OUT OF HERE! Oh, he almost slips, running with wet slippers is a bad idea isn't it - so now he's running (hopping, more like it) out of the closest door while trying to take off his slippers.

OUT THE DOOR NOW! Andddd... Oh, man, are you there?! This might be a problem because that really surprises Kei. He'll do his best to at least try to dodge you, but he's still soaking wet because he didn't find a towel. One of the hanging, flowy parts of his kimono might give you a wet slap, too. You also might just get some water sprayed on you as well? Sorry about that.

Kei's only response is a surprised yell, before he finds his footing (almost slipping, once again), and he's staring at you with furrowed eyebrows. ]

H...Hey, you!! [ Yeah, he's not a happy camper today! ] Couldn't you at least watch where you were going?!

[ He might need some help, though... ]

undyning

[ The large shadow of a sea creature looms in the distance, getting bigger as it comes closer and closer to the base. If you're in the observatory, you may even notice it become dark briefly as it blocks out some of the natural light from above as it passes overhead. When the creature is close enough, its features become more easily distinguishable in the ambient light of the base. Those who haven't figured it out already will be able to make out the very distinct shape of a Reaper Leviathan.

But not just any old Reaper Leviathan. This one is swimming about recklessly, dazed and confused, crashing into the side of the base as its rider-- a woman wielding a glowing spear-- cackles from stop its scary-looking head. This is her fish now. ]

URSULA!

Come out where I can see you and face me head-on!

[ As far as Undyne's aware, URSULA's just some disembodied voice that keeps pissing her off with a bunch of crap she doesn't understand or care about, because all that matters now is getting back to her friends. Why did she even agree to come to this weird planet?

Feel free to investigate the source of all the commotion outside, tell her to shut up because you're trying to sleep, or invite her in for some tea, etc., but not before Undyne releases the Reaper Leviathan back into the ocean because at the end of the day it didn't do anything wrong. ]

o1. dreaming

(ooc: please let me know if you'd like chara to see your character's dream and if you'd like your character to be recognized outside the dream! otherwise, i'll make up the dreamscape.)

[Even dreams aren't safe from strange happenings. If you're one of the unlucky dreamers, you may notice you're being haunted by a sullen-looking, red-eyed child. It's not as though they're doing anything malicious. What's strange is their attitude towards you. If you're unlucky enough to be human, a look of disgust will twist the kid's face. No matter the situation in your dream--serious, absurd, painful--this kid is always there, floating at a distance with a judgmental frown plastered on their face as they watch the events unfold.

Sometimes, they even have the nerve to float closer to you. Close enough to bump into your shoulder. Close enough for you to hear them sighing or to see them shaking their head.

Do you...

>Confront them?
>Stare back at them?
>Ignore them?
>None of the above??]

o2. stuck in the jet wash

[Are you doing your laundry?

Well, if you pop open the washing machine, you'll be greeted with a welcome sight: Chara.

Fortunately, they're small enough to fit inside the cramped space when they pull their knees to their chest. They look up, surprised.]

... hey. Can't you see it's occupied?

[WHEN YOU'RE CONFUSED BY YOUR SITUATION, MAKE BAD JOKES.]
