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.

[He'd only been there for a second before he'd spoken, he couldn't blame her for not noticing.
He shrugs under her grasp.]
It's not a big deal. [He smiles thinly, changes the subject.] Flying, huh? Did you win the genetic lottery or what?
no subject
[ She softly admonishes him before reaching up to tap his temple and then her own. She an sense his emotions, after all.
But then she's shaking her head, ]
It's not as great as all that. But it is coming in handy more and more.
no subject
[It's like trying to argue with Wanda, completely useless and he's lost before he can begin.]
Not all that great? Come on, that was pretty awesome and you know it. How many people can say they can fly? You've got cool powers Jean.
no subject
When even other mutants look at you like you're a freak, it's hard to think of your powers as being "cool".
no subject
[He tugs at his hair like that makes his point.]
no subject
I can also sense what people are feeling, move whole buildings and burn walls in my sleep.
[ And even destroy another being on a molecular level. Maybe they should be afraid of me. ]
You having silver hair just makes you... unique.
no subject
[He shrugs. River's not so far off on the feelings thing, he's used to her telling what he's going through and he knows it's not just because he's an open book. His sister here was the same way. Billy had told him of powers that could alter reality itself, if the boy got the desire to do it. It was all part of who they were, and after the initial shock, Peter had gotten over it.
He didn't see why people couldn't just do the same for Jean.]
Sure it does. I don't hate it, you know. Or my powers. Actually I think it's the coolest thing about me. But you could say the same about your's. You have powers, you're unique. That's not freaky.
no subject
Maybe some day I'll see it the same way.
[ Until then...
She nudges one of his feet with her own. ]
C'mon. On your feet. You're way too young to have a heart attack, anyway.
no subject
Lucky for you that you're stuck with me for the foreseeable future. I'm pretty good at wearing people down into seeing my side of things.
[He stands, stretching and popping his joints obnoxiously.]
Says who? See the grays? I'm totally an old man.
no subject
Yeah. I'd agree with that.
[ Just barely managing not to smile at that. ]
Only when you slow down, will I believe that you're an old man.
[ There. Take that. ]
no subject
[He laughs at that, shaking his head.]
You got me. That's never going to happen. Not unless these powers wear off. Or if someone breaks my knee caps.
no subject
Nah.
[ And she'll just ignore that mention of knee caps breaking. Yep. Let's not touch that. ]
