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.

B.
It's why she sits her tray near Tex's, the only person in the room she's spoken to more than once and thus the closest thing to an ally she's got. She picks at her bread moodily for several moments, just watching Tex eat.]
Does it scare you too? I don't think KK would let 'em drug the stuff in here. It's probably safe.
[She mistakes the slowness for fear.]
no subject
I'm not worried about someone here wanting to drug us, no. I think trust between crew members is about the only thing we have right now. The idea of being drugged like we were, though? Yeah, that's a scary thought. I hate that we were all taken advantage of that way. None of those aliens are here among us, though. We left them all behind on that planet.
no subject
Some people could still be drugged, they could still want to try somethin' on the rest of us. [A far fetched notion. She puts down the bread she's been tearing at, folds her arms on the table.] Why ya bein' all careful if that's not it? If ya ain't scared they're gonna drug you again?
no subject
[ She had not been sharing the fact that she's an AI around the ship much until the crash landing, but there's no point in hiding it now. Most people who know her are aware of that fact, now. ]
I'm not what I seem to be, to look at me. I'm actually a computer program in a body. The body got hurt when the ship crashed, and then we had that jump in time. So the body spent a year in a coma. It got really weak during that time. I have to exercise and stuff to recover.
no subject
You're an android? That's pretty milkshake! [She pauses, tries to look less excited.] I mean, being hurt ain't. But ya know what I mean.
But coma? Not really sure what that means. Some kinda bad injury?
no subject
I'm like an android, yeah. A coma's like a nap you can't wake up from. Since I wasn't in the body, it couldn't wake up. And when we lost that year we were all too busy worrying about parties and having fun to pay attention to things like that.
no subject
[She's met more robotic types here than she thinks there ever were in the desert. She never got to hang around the androids her parents frequented, for obvious reasons, but she'd always wanted to. She's not sure how she got the chance to make friends with so many here.]
So it's made you all weak from it. Year's an awful long time to be stuck asleep. [She chews her lip, staring at Tex thoughtfully.] But you're gonna be okay, right? They can get ya fixed back up?

You know, you're right about that. I had to recover from an injury once before and I did push too hard. So I've learned my lesson about that. I just have to keep it in mind.
no subject
Good. I'd kinda like for ya to keep 'round, not get stuck to the medbay all the time.
no subject
no subject
Ew, no. Ain't goin' anywhere near water if I don't have to.
no subject
All right. I was going to invite you to join me, if you felt like it. It's good for gentle strengthening, which is why I'm doing it.
