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.

just Raiden flipping his shit nbd || OTA
[There's a trail of destruction behind him; cups, trays, tables, etc., all laying shattered on the floor, contents strewn across the ground where offerings were thrown aside. He's so incensed and there's nowhere to direct it, no one to get angry at. The bugs, these hosts, either they don't know anything or there's nothing to tell, and there's only so much breaking stuff and carrying a sword is gonna get him answers here.]
[He's incensed, and anyone who finds him will probably come across a cyborg in various states of his rage rampage. Any bug who approaches him has their offering smacked away and tossed aside by Raiden as he makes his way through the city, looking for someone with some kind of authority. Demanding to know who runs things or why.]
no subject
[riptide hadn't been following the trail of destruction, he'd just come across the small rampaging man by chance.
he cocks his head and looks down.]
You need a time out, pal?
no subject
[He doesn't scoff though. He just frowns.]
I'm fine.
[Read: go away and bug someone else.]
no subject
[he inclines his head vaguely to the path of destruction raiden has left.]
You annoyed about the stupid bug people too?
no subject
[Raiden sighs, looking in the direction indicated and then back up at Riptide.]
They can't just get away with this.
no subject
there's a long pause. the fog hangs thick and heavy in the air. riptide watches raiden and finally reaches a hand out and knocks over a nearby table with his finger.]
Yeah! Take that, bug people!
no subject
That's not... [sigh.] That's not what I meant.
no subject
[he brings his hand down on the chairs, too. crushing them.
sorry raiden, it's the latter.]
That better?
no subject
Breaking things isn't the goal. I'm trying to find out if there's anyone in charge here.
[it does feel good to break stuff though]
no subject
[riptide grins and winks at raiden like this is some sort of in joke. he then stands up and yells:] Hey! Who's in charge here?! We want a word or more tables are gonna get knocked over!
no subject
So yeah, the urge to punch a few of the bug people in the face had been pretty damn strong, but Snake can tell when that sort of effort is going to amount to nothing.
Still, he's someone who can control his emotions better than most, and rampages are bound to happen. Snake would normally look the other way, not one to get in the path of someone who's trying to let off some steam, but it's a different story when it's Raiden.
Even though Raiden can clearly take care of himself, even though he's technically not the same person who Snake had assisted back during Big Shell, Snake can't help but feel responsible for him. He heads over as Raiden decimates some furniture with his sword, making sure that he isn't actively swinging the blade before he approaches. ]
That isn't gonna get that year back for us.
[ He shifts into Raiden's feel of vision, stares him down. ]
Breathe.
[ He doesn't know whether or not Raiden really has lungs and he doesn't particularly care. ]
no subject
[He gestures angrily with a sweep of his sword, glancing toward something off to the side, and then he's back to scowling at Snake.]
Somebody has to answer for this.
no subject
It's not like Snake can blame him for being pissed, either. ]
Someone should, yeah. But have you tried talking to them? It's like they're pre-programmed to always say the same thing.
[ Which had gotten Snake to thinking, maybe there's more to all this.
He sets his jaw and narrows his eyes at Raiden, continuing to keep half his attention on that blade. ] Think about it.
