Where: Thisavrou + New Worlds
Warnings:

thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

⋆ All information is current as of day 62 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

⋆ The storm around Thisavrou is rather quiet this month. Although there is still an upsurge in the number of Outpost techs called in, many of them have been put on standby until otherwise needed. Weather on Kauto is a moderate 70°F / 21°C during the day and 65°F / 18 °C at night, and Chioni’s has reached dangerous highs of 200°F / 93°C at peak hours.

⋆ Savrii Notices:

Region One grocery depots are offering sixty percent off of any item purchased between day 70 and 82.
Region Three’s residents are doing a pruning ( every sixty days or so ) and all excess is available to be taken; if you need it for mulch, lumber, etc. it’s free to anyone.

⋆ Mission notices have been posted to TABs for anyone interested in earning a little extra cash. Available missions are listed below:

Day 65 (March 6th) - The locals of Region One (R1) are looking for extra help with cleaning and are hiring pairs to run each machine. They’ll pay 50 sencs an hour or 300 sencs for a full day.
Day 68 ( March 10th) - A group of newcomers have taken shelter in Region Five as their home world is no longer habitable. All of their belongings have been brought through the Ingress and is stacked up outside the EN-Line in R1. Savrii are paying volunteers 70 sencs an hour to help transport everything to their new homes. This species returns kindness with kindness, and will offer any volunteer who goes the extra mile tips ranging from 100 to 200 sencs.
Day 75 (March 16th) - With temperatures on Chioni reaching record highs, some scientists and researchers have been stranded due to EN-Line shutdowns. Those in the Ingress Complex are offering 950 sencs to anyone who is willing to withstand the heat and rescue their fellow colleagues. Any equipment needed for the trip will be provided, but due to the greater increase of temperature, some suits may only cool a body inside for a total of four hours before needing replaced. Plan the trip wisely: most EN-Line access has been completely revoked and travel by foot (or vehicle) is necessary.
Day 87 (March 28th) - Scientific Study. Do you smoke? Are you addicted to any substance? A scientist researching methods to combat addictions, of all kinds, is looking for volunteers. He’ll ask a series of questions, take samples, record, study, analyze, and apply new procedures over the course of a day (nothing invasive without permission). Compensation is 800 sencs with complete cooperation.

ingress travel info

⋆ Signatures are the base reason for traveling through the Ingress (aside from general exploration and monetary gain) and are used to discover the correct world visitors on Thisavrou wish to return to. Every visit through a different Ingress brings the technicians a little closer to finding it. The two worlds open for access this month only have a slight impact on the signature of each person who travels.

⋆ Missions are jobs or specific tasks listed on the TAB once new worlds are open for exploration. Be sure to check if Clearance Levels are required to accept some of these missions.

⋆Clearance Levels are given to visitors for the length of time they have been on Thisavrou (or traveling on the Moira). Each CL offers access to certain things or incentives that others will not have.

deslora

⋆Upon entering the world of Deslora, everything seems to be connected by an intricate tunnel of tubes that lead to different and very explorable areas of this new place. Ingress travel will have been quick but somewhat nauseating for most, and returning to Thisavrou will result in the same feeling. However, it wears off quickly, and Deslora is opened as EC (exploration class). Aside from the bright colors of the “walls” and the excessive lights, there are also smells of familiarity—to some. Popcorn, pizza, cotton candy. They waft through the tunnels and get stronger the closer anyone comes to the first open area of Deslora, and depending on the route that is taken, some may have to crawl or walk right into it.

⋆Food, perhaps, might be one draw to Deslora, but it is not, so to speak, the main attraction. After piling through the tunnels, it’s like being inside a massive tent. There is no natural lighting, everything illuminated by bulbs or torches placed strategically across the path that leads to an equally smaller tent. Dangling above the doorway is a sign that reads Laugh Your Way to A Smile with reflectors and pieces of glass hanging from its bottom. Entering the tent will reveal a very small but intricately designed room full of twists and turns and mirrors. The strange thing about them comes with looking at your own reflection; passing by will do nothing. If you linger too long, you find your own physical body beginning to take the shape of what is reflected in the mirror. Sometimes, you are stretched thin and tall. Sometimes, you are short and round. And other times, you will find yourself suddenly wavy and curved from head to toe. These changes do not hurt the first few times they happen, but after the third look at your reflection, some alterations may cause pain in your limbs or torso. It increases each time you look at a mirror, and while the effects will fade after a few minutes, it’s best not to linger too long and find your way out through the otherside.

⋆Located several tunnels down - or up, depending on the direction you go - from the Deslora’s ever-popular funhouse is another equally famous attraction. At the top of the steps, a worker waits to pair up individuals into groups of two before ushering them inside the first set of doors. The foyer is quiet, and after the doors behind you have been shut, two single doors ahead of you and your partner begin to illuminate. There is a sign between the doors: Pick A Path . Once through the chosen door, it will lock and the door will slowly fade away. It will quickly become evident that what is in this room is specifically targeted at one out of the two people inside. A happy memory, a beloved hobby, the person you love most - the scenario is always different, but the overall feel is the same. Whatever the room has transformed into, it’s what makes that person the happiest. If it’s a person, they can be spoken to and touched, if it’s an object, it can be used. As the interactions between both characters and the room increase, subtle changes will begin to occur. Slowly, the contents of the room begin to morph into something new. The combination of what one person loves the most and what the other hates the most. The only resolution to be had is to confront the issues and find something in the room to help. For one past patron, the room transformed into thousands of paintings that morphed into painted memories of their partner’s most painful memories. The only way out was a can of varnish tucked back into the corner of the room. Be creative, be careful. Find the way out together.

thisavrou (R6)

Every so often, new Regions are built to accommodate visitors who are looking to make Thisavrou their homes, a place to work, and many other acceptable reasons. The Savrii pride themselves on being open to explorers and travelers, allowing Thisavrou to be a mecca of trade, exploration, and for some - a place to live. During many meetings with Savrii intermediates over the course of 600 days, an agreement was made with an entrepreneur looking to find a safe place to build their business. The funder, John Hammond, spent millions of sencs on the proper permits and is funding the building, transportation, expansion and overall creation of Region Six. Over the next 30 days, Mr. Hammond will be following very specific building schematics and with this, will be hiring temporary workers to fill the positions required to do so. Job postings will go up and those that do well, might be offered permanent employment when Region Six is up and running. Hammond, along with his temporary work posts via the TABs, will release a missive explaining the following: a few days before the Region is open he will be hiring a large number of permanent employees in (research, science, ingress, cleaning, security, transportation, customer service) fields. He’ll also thank all Savrii, and anyone living on Thisavrou, for allowing him to bring him and his to live here.

I'm always flirty, love.

[He drums his hands on the table when she successfully picks the lock.]

Ha-ha! What did I tell you, eh? Easy peasy.

[And, turning to Nate.]

Teach her how to do a lift and she'll be twice the thief you are, mate.

1. Day 75 - Too Hot, Hot Damn! - OTA

93 degrees celsius was a hot day on Palaven. But not the hottest. Not by far.

Which isn’t to say the experience was particularly pleasant.

The first hurdle to overcome was the issue of transporting the trapped scientists and researchers around safely in the soaring temperatures. None of them were listed as heat or radiation tolerant species.

The EN-Line trams on Chioni were up to the task, but the lines themselves were overheated and blacked out. Renting in a space shuttle with the proper insulation was one option, but re-entry was dodgy with the atmospheric temperatures this high.

The solution was towing one of the trams down to the stations with the stranded people with a truck equipped to handle the heat. Bring them safely back to a working line.

Which worked just fine for the first few hours until the truck’s systems decided to give in halfway to one of the stops. It’s been thirty minutes into diagnostics and Nihlus feels vaguely like he’d been turned into a sentient walking steam box. Stretched out around was a vast, blazing hot wasteland far as the eyes can see.

The soaring temperatures aren’t going to kill Nihlus, but you might wanna come over and help him out before your suit overheats.

2. Cool Down - OTA

There’s a little balcony at the edges of R1’s central station, overlooking the city. It’s quiet, out of the way of the main foot traffic and mainly frequented by the nearby university’s students looking for a peaceful spot to study or complete their assignments.

Today, there’s a slightly overheated Turian leaning against the steel guardrail, wisps of steam still curling off of the curve of his dark, tattooed carapace and water canteen in his bright pink bionic hand. He’d stripped of his hardsuit some time ago and his thermals were unzipped all the way down to his waist, excess fabric draping over his thighs.

Public indecency laws probably weren’t really a thing in Savrou due to differences in cultures and species, but if they were, Nihlus would probably be skirting the edge of it.

Frankly, he couldn’t care less at the moment. It’s been thirty minutes after he’d landed back on Kauto and once all the rescuees had been properly accounted for, he’d ducked out to cool down a bit. Paperwork will be sorted out later.

You wanna approach the steaming hot, alien bird man?

[The reaction was stunning, produced a flinch on Angel's part. Her expression remained frozen like such as the shirts tumbled down around them. It was like watching a film, only so much worse because, well, someone was actually that much of a disaster.]

I...

[She looked down at the pile, smile slowly spreading over her lips. Kneeling down, she plucked up a gray shirt and held it out to him. The smile on her lips quickly turned playful.]

This... This might be a good color on you.

I have plenty more to eat. [She held out her cotton candy, then waved it about. Her fingers tore off a piece, and she popped it into her mouth with a teensy smile.]

Besides. [She swallowed her sugary treat.] There's whatever is in this line. [She attempted to peek up and over at the menu, but frowned when her short stature once again bit her in the hind end.]

[Despite himself, he grins, proud of her accomplishment. If they were sneaking in somewhere together, he would totally let her have a go at the lock instead of just shooting it.]

Oh, no. No way. At least one person in this family needs to be relatively respectable, and that was a lost cause for me and Sully years ago.

[She'd probably looks cute all disguised in black, though.]

Mmhm, it sure was.

[ The lock is clicked back shut. Time for a second round of picking at it, leaning back a little in the chair but scooting it closer so she's not as hunched forward. ]

What makes you think I can't do a lift?

[Angel tried to recoil, but crippled as she was, it looked more like her leaning back slowly. She tried to focus on the child, to watch where that knife had gone. With the illusion shattered, C.T. should have had no reason to attack any longer, but --]

[Children shouldn't have been so manic, so vicious. There was something wrong here, something critically wrong. She'd thought as much before, but even that couldn't dissuade Angel from being the person she was.]

[Not that her efforts mattered.]

No one should be hurt in such a way. It isn't a matter of thinking that I know best.

[She pinched the bridge of her nose, to force herself to focus. This wasn't good, this situation wasn't good at all. Trapped in a place like this, with this child? She needed to get herself back on her feet, and get out of there. C.T. was out of the woods -- there was no point in lingering.]

Sorry.

[Because yes, that flinch was visible. And yes, he feels bad startling people. But wow -- he didn't expect anyone to actually see him messing around with a ridiculous shirt. Especially one that said "space ho". Of all things.]

[He's still bright red when she offers up a gray one.]

Well. Let's. Hope so. I mean... [Awkward hand gesture at the gray already in his hair.]

You...just got on this long ass line cause it was long and looked promising?

[he gawks for .2 seconds before laughing]

Alright, fair enough. Hand a little of that over, then.

Well. Honestly, some of us are always armed.

[No one but you is going to get that joke, Shiro, don't make it.]

[It takes more than this to get him properly soused but the drinks have him feeling good and warm and sociably limber. He chuckles. This Elena girl seems to like a challenge, if nothing else.]

Oh Nate, I like this one.

Perhaps I deserve it.

[The answer whip-cracks out sharply, the proverbial blade to be lowered and slipped between ribs and then, at the pivotal moment, twisted. This is what you get, when you help creatures like them.

Kids like them.]

Perhaps violence is the only language I understand.

[Their shoulders are too stiff, their posture too taut, everything about them too - unrestrained. Uncontrolled. Be better than this. Be the implacable demon. Play the role.

Even worse -

Even worse, she looks like she's about to pass out on the spot: abnormally pale, swaying in place.

Did she risk herself just to see them suffer?]

No way. Kids, deep fryers — where was their sense of adventure?

Look...it's kneejerk, okay! When Lance and Keith first showed up, my first thought was 'well, the gang's all here' and there isn't really a spot for me.

But then you went and left and all of a sudden I was needed. It was...weird. Scary.

[He sighs.]

But...in the end, at the very least the majority seem to want me around. I'm as confused by it as anyone. So...no, I'm not going anywhere because we have work to do.

Yeah. And that's part of the reason why I said that. So you'd stick around.

[Like he'd told Pidge originally. But... hadn't managed to, in the moment Darin confronted him.]

[Apparently he makes a lot of bad decisions while under personal duress.]

Is it so hard to believe people want to be friends with you? Or are already?

...Yes.

If you expect me to say you deserved it, you'll have to keep waiting.

[Surely she had been sitting long enough. Her arms trembled as she placed her hands against the ground and pushed upward. Once, her arms crumbled, and she nearly found herself face first on the cold ground. With one last, deep breath, she managed to bring herself back to her full height, though her legs quaked and threatened to crumble once more.]

[She had risked herself, but it was certainly not for anyone's suffering. At least, not intentionally.]

I'm sorry, C.T., but you needed help. I could not simply ignore it.

[Oh. Oh. She clapped a hand over her mouth, eyes briefly going wide. She'd acknowledged it was there, but it was one of those things that she hadn't considered the ramifications of. Moreover, she hadn't considered how her words might have come off as an insult.]

T-That isn't what I meant! [Her hand lowered just enough to allow a few words out.] You just seem like you would be much better suited to neutral colors, is all. Pink is just... ostentatious.

[She stepped closer to the mess, trying to search for some way to free the vehicle. Really, it was impressive workmanship, this wreck.]

Any ideas?

Right?

[ And, after a moment's consideration: ]

We should tell the rest of the team.

This many people can't possibly be wrong.

[She drew in a huff, faking offense. It lasted about as long as it took her newfound friend to start laughing, at which point she joined him. The elephant ear was handed over, in the midst of her fit.]

Whatever, doesn't count if I'm fine with sharing it anyway.

Aww, man, you're such a softie, buyin' everybody matching shirts.

[ He says, like it wasn't half his idea. ]

Lance.

[ Keith raises his eyebrows, licking the cotton candy off three fingers methodically. ]

Are you trying to one-up me by sharing your food.

Do you trust me?
