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.

I'd be more than happy to assist, absolutely. Whenever my skills could be of use I'm always glad to offer them. I know it's difficult to sit still for so long, but you do need to focus on energy intake and activity in very short spurts with plenty of downtime for your body to recover.
I can at least get you started on a few simple exercises with a resistance band. Let me fashion one up for you, and I'll be right back, all right?
[ True to her word, she bustles right off and comes back still fixing some latex tubing together into two separate lengths, tying the ends so there's a loop at each of the two ends— one band was longer and one was shorter. ]
Here we go. You seem to have some decent strength still in your arms, no? So what I'll have you do is simple— for the short one here, you either hold the ends between both hands or hook them on your feet and try to pull. Slow movements, hold it stretched near as far as you can for a long count of five seconds, then relax. This will help get your muscles supple again. For the long one, one end on your foot and hold the other with your opposite hand, same idea. Only this time you alternate between keeping your arm taut and leg working, or your leg taut and pulling with your arm.
[ As Angela explains, she demonstrates on herself, ensuring the instruction is clear. ]
You can do this for about ten repetitions at a time, every other hour. Don't push too hard or your muscles will stiffen and seize. Does that sound all right?

[ She's more amused and rueful than anything, though. She already went through what happens when she pushes too hard. She's weak, but she's determined, and she knows that will carry her through more than anything. She reaches for the resistance band. ]
Thanks. I do appreciate it.

I know it's difficult advice, but do please try to take it with a spoonful of sugar. You'll recover much quicker if you can avoid pushing yourself and allowing enough rest.
[ It's largely teasing though, and she'll remain seated on the edge of her bed long enough to see her use one of them, already taking the longer one to hook over one foot and leave the other end in her lap where she can easily reach it. The loops were large enough that she'll be able to switch feet without needing to reach down and shift it over, which Angela isn't even sure she can do if she can scarcely get herself propped up in bed. ]
Did you want to give it a try while I'm here?
