[open] this ae night, this ae night

Who: People who went to the tower, and then people who want to hear about what happened in the tower!
When: 8/25-8/26.
Where: The CERES Tower, and then the Sanctuary
What: A catch-all log for the CERES Tower Exploration, and then a discussion of it!
Rating/Warning: Will edit when needed.




THE TOWER
[ As per the mod post:

All groups will find that the tower is deserted, and all technology is shut off. Through some fiddling, some of CERES’ databases can be accessed, but only in the most basic of safe modes. Hacking will just get everything to shut off again, as it takes too much power from whatever emergency power source allows the systems to turn on.

There are no dangers, but even so, the characters won’t have long in the tower before their code starts to warp strangely. If they stay too long, they will be glitched right out of existence -- and then right outside of the tower. They will find that for the next three ic days, all food tastes burnt and sleeping is extremely unsatisfying, to the point that they don’t even feel like they need it, before they go back to normal. Characters will have a maximum of 3 IC hours in the tower before that point.

Feel free to thread out characters meeting up before the exploration, or bumping into each other in the rather big tower, amongst other shenanigans! ]



THE SANCTUARY
[ there isn't much of a preparation for this, but there will be a text blast alerting everybody to go to the sanctuary if they so please to discuss what people have found in the tower.

as usual, a variety of flavours of pizza is being served. there may not be pizza for everybody however, as athena is rather broke. (sweats) remember to leave your cerevices in the basket by the entrance! ]

[ there must be some reason why they're trying to pretend their contract with dii consentes no longer exists. zer0 assumes it has to do with more betrayals, which seems... common, so far. ]

Tellus? And what names?
onethousen: (listen | to what you're saying)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-08-24 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, they had a contract with the beings of Tellus. None of it really made sense to me. I wasn't sure what terms they had, it was so...

[ She makes a motion with her hand, rolling her wrist. Everything had been vague. For her it'd been like reading a bunch of words talking about nothing much other than being obliged to something or another. ]

... talking about the land they bought.

[ The list of names, on the other hand... she breathes in, then out, squaring her shoulders. ]

The names were a list of worlds. Many, many worlds. I didn't recognise many of the names.

[ "so..." difficult to understand? zer0 inclines their head slightly, acknowledging the fact that she'd discovered the contract regarding land as well as full listings of names. ]

Which were recognized?
onethousen: (determined | close this door)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-08-25 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ "so..." vague she literally doesn't have words to describe it... ]

Earth. Written down many, many times.

[ which troubles her for various reasons. it's not surprising, so many of the presents and pasts and futures different people from Earth spoke about were... well, different, but it was still strange. ]

With different numbers. Something Gaia, I think, and then names that the others seemed to know.

[personal profile] faceplate 2016-08-25 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Eden?

[ it's... a little similar to gaia. zer0's heard of gaia, but they're more familiar with eden and pandora. ]

What terms with Tellus?

[ what did the beings of tellus trade for CERES' presence? ]
onethousen: (walk | on a journey)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-08-25 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They were vague, but it was for the land that CERES built on. Mintao-san might have been able to make more out of it, or Jessica-san.
faceplate: (bruh come on)

[personal profile] faceplate 2016-08-25 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Does Tellus relate to the one they call 'the Bridge'?
onethousen: (curious | what am i looking at)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-08-26 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ she pauses, considering. ]

Isn't Tellus the name of this whole place? Or... this world. So it would, because the Bridge is part of this world too, isn't she?

[ a not very nice part, from what has been said by Kashuu... and in Athena's shared document, by all accounts. ]

Is it her first home?

[ maybe she's supposed to represent some part of the world..? zer0 doesn't know, but they're trying. ]
onethousen: (quiet | not the places we imagined)

[personal profile] onethousen 2016-08-28 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. It's not something I've heard anyone talk about.
faceplate: (i'm outtie)

[personal profile] faceplate 2016-09-04 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Keep an ear out.

[ zer0 will try to be in contact, providing their attempts at communication with others don't go to hell. ]
onethousen: (listen | to what you're saying)

[ she gives him a thumbs up and nods. she'll do her best... though she makes no guarantees! ]
