[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! ]

Elvhen. I believe humans sometimes refer to it as Elven or Elvish.

[Lavellan's always more than happy to educate someone on her people and their culture, so the explanation is delivered with a happy, genuine smile.]

And I agree on helping. If we work together, we'll be safe, and we can keep others safe as well.
tiarae: (Remember me)

Oh! Yeah, I've read about them. Or....well, in books. I'm not sure if all of that would be necessarily relevant to you, of course.

[Since for all she knows the generic fantasy stuff she read probably did not all apply for those traits to the actual elves like Lavellan here.]

Right! That's why I came - to help out.
neverexpected: (oh this is gonna be good)

[personal profile] neverexpected 2016-09-01 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. I've found that many human accounts of my people are... exaggerated.

[To put it as nicely as she can.]

Good! That's something we share in common, then. [The smile on her face widens even more.] Let's go!

[And she continues onward! Glancing around the maze in case something tries to pop out at them.]
tiarae: (Wonderful Journey)

[personal profile] tiarae 2016-09-02 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure if there are many stories about my people....

[From the moon kingdom and all. Or, not that she really recalls off of the top of her head, anyway. Still. That is hardly the most important thing here.

Still. She sticks close, trying to keep an eye out as well. Though she isn't quite sure what she would do depending on what they might come across. But she is determined to try do her part. Else she came here to help for nothing.]
neverexpected: (are we telling dirty stories now?)

[personal profile] neverexpected 2016-09-04 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Many stories about humans in general? Or are you speaking of a particular background?

[Because where she's from there are pleeeenty of stories about humans. Nothing about moon kingdoms, however. Not yet, anyway.]
tiarae: (Until it was)

[personal profile] tiarae 2016-09-07 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh. No, I guess I didn't mean humans. Or, not humans on Earth anyway.

[If not from Earth, from their Guardian Planets and the moon. But that probably technically makes them aliens, right? Still. Usagi is always kind of sheepish still about topics that come to addressing her past. Her secrets she has been trying to keep.]
neverexpected: (tell me your life story)

[personal profile] neverexpected 2016-09-07 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
What other kinds of humans are there, then?

[She's legitimately curious about Usagi's background now, to the point where she's pretty much blind to any discomfort or shyness Usagi may show. Oops.]
tiarae: (A miracle romance)

[personal profile] tiarae 2016-09-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Or maybe it would be more...they would look like humans but be aliens, if they weren't from Earth.

[No, she is totally not implying anything at all. Nope. Why would anyone assume that? Though she has transformed in front of some people, it's still generally supposed to be a secret, one she doesn't share lightly. It's why she transformed prior to arriving to meet the group.]

With special powers they use to protect the humans.
neverexpected: (nope not listening)

[personal profile] neverexpected 2016-09-11 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Not at all. Not a single in common with these sorts of not human people from different planets!]

I see.

[Lavellan thinks about it for a few moments before asking a very important question.]

What is an alien?

[...Seems like she didn't 'see' at all.]
tiarae: (Foretell love's whereabouts)

[personal profile] tiarae 2016-09-12 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh. Aliens are....well, alien. Not from Earth?

[Or, anyone not from the native planet they reside on or however that works. Usagi has never had to actually answer something like that. But of course, from the appearance, it's not a hard stretch to presume space travel or the like isn't a thing yet for the elf.]
neverexpected: (attention: grabbed)

[personal profile] neverexpected 2016-09-14 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
I am not from... "Earth".

Does that make me an alien to you?

[There is literally no offense taken, which Usagi will hopefully be able to tell from Lavellan's tone which is made up of pure curiosity.]
tiarae: (And then that word)

[personal profile] tiarae 2016-09-14 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. I....I guess it would? But I usually think of everyone as potential friends rather than aliens.

[Especially when many still seem so humanoid. So similar to humans in spite of the distance. Still, that's just like Usagi to brush something like this aside in favor of friendship. At the least, the chatter is distracting her enough from being quite so jumpy, even as she tries to keep an eye out still.]
neverexpected: (o hello frand)

[personal profile] neverexpected 2016-09-20 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Any worry that Lavellan may have shown before quickly dissipates into a giant smile, the prospect of making a new friend vastly outweighing any potential danger surrounding the two.]

[...Yeah, someone's pretty easily distracted.]


I'm happy to hear that!

[Obviously.]

I'd also be happy to consider us friends if you do.
tiarae: (That lets you)

[personal profile] tiarae 2016-09-22 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Eheh. Of course I do!

[Because Lavellan, please. Usagi is obviously the kind of person that talks to someone once and that is usually enough for her to be instant friends with them. Or, for her to consider herself as such. Usually.]
