E V E N T L O G

the lucid disparity revisited "Never be the first to arrive or the last to go, and never, ever be both." By now, time has passed, and most of the crew have found some sort of comfortable groove with the natives of the unnamed island they crashed near. Partying, gambling and drinking, and more… Even the mysterious pool has given people who could answer its riddle insight in this confusing time. However, as the nights and days continue to progress and the parties begin to blur together, things are… odd. The hosts are still as kind as ever, offering anything and everything those at the temple-like building could ask for, but every so often, the world around them appears different. Clear, as if a fog had been lifted. Yet, it’s only a blink, and then, it’s gone, returning everyone to their regularly scheduled eternal party. Down on the beach, the Captains are still as busy as ever working with those capable to restore function to the Moira. On the morning of the 20th, Navigator Manasseh’s vitals begin to slowly return to normal, her status on the Directory reverting to GREEN, and with it, life is brought back to the Moira. This, of course, means everyone is able to board the ship and leave, but most of the crew who traveled through the jungle and stayed at the party aren’t exactly willing to go just yet. Prior to this, a few of the crew who suddenly realized things were strange and that the people around them were acting strange - themselves included - approached Thán with this particular revelation, upon which Nathan Drake planned to bring back things from the temple to be tested for irregularities. Each sample returned to Cúrre does not alert her to anything abnormal, comprised of similar compounds—except for the water brought to her from the pool. Acting quickly, she reaches the same conclusion as a few of the other crewmembers do: that the water neutralizes the mysterious intoxication caused by everything on this unknown planet. ☄ FROM UNDER THE VEIL The combined efforts of the crew and Curre have resulted in an “antidote” being made from the pool water; crew members pass it around to those down on the ship and beach, then utilize caution while administering it to those at the party. The change happens slowly for most. A drink that was perfect only a little while ago is suddenly sickeningly sweet and no longer enjoyable. The food tastes wrong. The music no longer urges you to dance but instead reminds you that your feet are aching. The magic is fading, and as it does, the cracks in the facade begin to reveal themselves. The elegant city built into the rocks is faded and cracking at the edges. Nothing is as it seems, especially the hosts. Their eagerness to please now has an edge to it. They try and ply their guests with new food, drink and distractions, but they know when the game is up. Do you try and slip away when they’re distracted, or do you demand to know why they’ve done this? Do you dare to find out? ☄ AS TIME GOES BY Crew have begun to filter to the beach, and as the ship reboots, its systems expelling water and allowing it to float on the surface, all Moira-connected technology refreshes. MID devices, to those who check, will show that a year has passed since they crash landed on this strange planet. Those that did not join the party would not have been aware that so much time had passed as the planet seems to be under the influence of a blurring of time, probably due to the fact it is so close to the Luminous Sea. Crew would have gone through the motions and not realized that supplies were dwindling, and anyone who has themselves looked over in the Medbay will discover that they are, in fact, physically one year older. With the Moira finally functioning and with everyone on board, the ship finally begins to ascend and leave the planet behind. The Captains are all working together to get the crew settled back on board and help those who might need some adjusting to this particular news. Since it has been such a long time, fresh supplies are badly needed, and the ship is directed towards the closest known place: the Mini Colony. ( ooc; For questions, go here. )

[iseedeadbees]

I feel like he was just right here! Look, you look over there, I'll check this side!

[He looks like he might be panicking just a tiny bit maybe. Just a bit.]

[knaval]

Starscream!!

[riptide HOPS TO IT, cursing.]

What if he's still back with the weird bug people?

[iseedeadbees]

It's fine, it's fine!

[It's probably not fine]

We'll just grab him and leave, it doesn't even have to be a big deal.

[knaval]

That requires knowing where he is! Starscream!!

[riptide is kinda freaking out too.]

[iseedeadbees]

We'll find him! Trust me!

[except that it's starscream]

[knaval]

Can't you like, fly? Turn into a jet and look up in the sky?

[riptide drags his hands down his face.]

I don't even know how this happened. Hey! Bumblebee! Racing is lame!!

[iseedeadbees]

How do you expect me to fly with just one wing!?

[it's been missing for a year and he's still cranky about it 8(]

[knaval]

Don't you have like... boosters in your feet? You totally do! I've seen you fly using just those during the war!

[iseedeadbees]

I'm really low on fuel.

[Surprise magic booze isn't a good substitute for proper energon]

Might have enough for a quick look around, though. I'll be back.

[SO he's going to go hover in the air for a while BRB]

[knaval]

Oh. Me too, now you mention it. Woah.

[he puts a hand on his head.]

Dizzy. Alright, tell me if you see him.

[iseedeadbees]

[He's not listening he's too busy FLOATING. He's going to be at it for a while.

Eventually he does come back, landing next to Riptide and looking very much like shit. Y'know even more shit.]

[knaval]

Is that expression because you saw him and you know where to go?!

[iseedeadbees]

[That expression is because Starscream is pretty much completely out of fuel THAT WAS REALLY DUMB HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.]

No. I didn't see him.

[knaval]

Great. Great!

[he groans loudly.]

We lost a legless, bright yellow child!

[iseedeadbees]

[And Starscream's just going to sit his ass right down on the ground here because goddamn]
.
What if someone just took him back to the ship already.

[knaval]

Call him?! How didn't we think to call him??

[iseedeadbees]

My God. I feel like my IQ drops any time I'm around you!

[Starscream starts booping around on his mid-

and promptly falls over unconscious because guess who's out of fuel

go on guess]

[knaval]

Shut up, Starscream! I thought you-- Woah!

[he almost jumps forward to catch the jet then... stops and lets him fall into the mud. fuck you, starscream.

riptide crouches, cocking his head and tapping starscream on the back.]

...Huh.

[iseedeadbees]

[what an ASSHOLE

but nope starscream's just going to lay here in this mud and conserve energy or whatever. SORRY RIPTIDE]

[knaval]

That's what happens when you call someone who's trying to help stupid! Ugh! I thought we bonded a little!

[he half heartedly kicks starscream in the side, then bends down to pick him up, one arm over his shoulders. time to weekend and bernie's it up.]

[iseedeadbees]

[This still counts as bonding anyone else would have left Starscream in the mud. What a nice boat.]

[knaval]

[YOU CALLED HIM STUPID ASSHOLE

riptide continues to drag starscream, grunting and complaining all the way.]

You couldn't-- have just-- waited until we got back to the ship?! Now I gotta deal with this AND Bee!

[iseedeadbees]

[WELL DON'T BE A STUPID ASSHOLE THEN

AND LOOK HE WAS TRYING TO FIND BUMBLEBEE HE WAS TRYING TO BE NICE!!!!!

anyway he sort of wakes up a little bit and just groans because ugh dude feed this plane]

[knaval]

[riptide gives him a shake.]

Oi. C'mon. I don't have anything to give you but at least try and use your legs to get to the ship. I'm gonna call Bee.

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream grumbles something that might be words and steadies himself. Mostly. He's still leaning against Riptide but hey it's a start.]

Did you call him? Call him now.
