march mod plot log

Who: Everyone
When: March 3rd to March 31st
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.

    [Allura isn't the only one whose job takes her to the Ingress complex. Now that everything is physically working again, and now that the entire team is here, it's time to start pulling his weight again. Which means back to the shuttle company. And back to running pickier Ingress transplants to the planet.]

    [Yes, he's aware it's basically a taxi service for rich aliens, but oh well. It's flying something, being a pilot. And isn't that what he always wanted?]

    [Of course he... didn't expect to hear familiar voices up here. Short of maybe a few medical personnel. Even if this one is twisting something in his chest to hear. He can't stop himself from leaning around a corner to see what's going on.]

    [And...]


    ... Do you need another hand?

    [Any other time, that would probably be a joke. But now, standing a few yards off from her and the baggage, it's nothing of the sort.]
    patchricide: (Are you pondering what I'm pondering?)

    [personal profile] patchricide 2017-03-18 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
    I'd also like to not use my teeth, though. The goal is to get the food home, then eat it.

    [She huffs.] Besides, these are ordinary civilians who are -- in the most literal sense -- trying to put food on the table! You can't actually expect me to treat this like some kind of warzone--

    [Just at the corner of her field of vision, a short and stout alien has just set up a free sample stand. The crowd is already shifting in response.]

    ... ... ...

    We need a battle formation. Now.
    shiro2hero: (seriously no fuck my life sideways)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-03-18 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
    Nice to know my psychiatric vacation was helpful.

    [How in the world he makes that sound like it's meant to be a joke is anyone's guess. Blame Shiro's morbid sense of humor.]

    Lance? I thought she'd say Keith for sure...

    [Then again, maybe the whole "taser him into submission" thing means they need more work.]

    ... me and... did you. Do that on purpose.
    forgeabettertomorrow: (I'm about to do something awesome)

    [personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2017-03-18 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
    Hahahahaha! Alright! Now we're talking!

    [With that, he clears his throat.]

    WHAT'S THAT?! A TEN MINUTE TIMED SALE?! BUY TWO GET FIVE FREE?? OVER THAT WAY?! WHY...THESE BARGAINS ARE PRACTICALLY CRIMINAL!!

    [Darin makes one giant sweeping motion, pointedly away from the free sample stand. And like a flock of meerkats, the crowds are already craning their heads in the same direction.]

    BUT WAIT, YOU NEED A TICKET TO BE SERVED?! AND THAT PERSON [Insert the most vague gesture possible] IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE TICKETS?! I BETTER HURRY!!

    [Darin takes two very pronounced steps away from Allura, then nods sharply back in the direction of the stalls.]

    [You've only got a few minutes before the confusion dissipates! Let's see what you've got!]

    forgeabettertomorrow: (I'm about to do something awesome)

    [personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2017-03-18 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
    No.

    [Yes.]
    shiro2hero: (maybe the castle won't explode)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-03-18 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
    Why?

    Why did you do that.
    forgeabettertomorrow: (Face tomorrow)

    [personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2017-03-18 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
    Because she's got issues leveling with you and you've got issues being leveled with.

    All joking aside? Unless you two can communicate in even the most basic sense without being so scared of one another? This team thing isn't going to work.

    [As blunt as he is, Darin's not worried about crossing a line. He knows his friends and he cares about them enough that sometimes a dose of reality is important.]
    shiro2hero: (no really i don't get it)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-03-18 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
    [Oh, okay, so it's serious, and not just a joke at his expense. That, oddly enough, makes him feel better about the setup.]

    ... If she'll talk to me after all of this, I don't have any problem working on it with her.
    Edited (html) 2017-03-18 07:04 (UTC)
    forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

    [personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2017-03-18 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
    She'll talk to you. Trust me.

    And before I forget? You were right about her.

    I just needed to give her a chance.
    patchricide: (I never authorized this.)

    [personal profile] patchricide 2017-03-18 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
    [You know, there's been moments where the gap between their races has been heavily apparent, and little things that get lost in translation. Things like food, jokes, beauty and culture. Uncomfortable situations, sadly, remain a universal constant.]

    [Fortunately, she is an expert at sidestepping all that and focusing on the work that needs to be done.]


    Right now? What I could really use is some kind of cart or trolley. But more hands would still mean a lot less round-trips on the EN-Line.

    Do you think you could spare some time?

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-03-18 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
    [For a moment there, he wonders if she's going to accept. Or tell him otherwise. And it comes as no small relief when she asks if he has time.]

    [This works for him.]


    Yeah. I only had another few minutes on the clock anyway. My shuttle's free.

    [Since he technically has to return it to the company planetside anyway.]

    Here, I'll take whatever I can.

    [The princess is already on the move. Even the sample guy seems taken by surprise when she suddenly shows up in front of the stand. It looks like some sort of dessert, spooned into a number of small cups. And there's different flavors!]

    Excuse me, but could I get samples for both myself and my friend? He's momentarily occupied, but he'll be right back. [The alien makes an agreeable croaking noise, apparently that's no problem.] Great! Then we'll need two of every kind, so we can try them all.

    [Again, those aren't really words coming out of it, but the croaking noise sounds like that's going to be a problem. "Nuh-uh".] What? You can't mean we only get one each? ["Yuh-huh".]

    [Fortunately, like the princess she is, she has little animals to help her solve these kinds of problems. She feels one of the mice scampering up on her shoulder, and that gives her an idea.]
    Oh! I almost forgot. All four of my mice would like one each, too.

    [The next croak sounds skeptical.] ... what? Yes, of course they each need a full sample! They need to get a good taste for it, because... [think think think think think] ... they're chefs! That's right. Each one of them is a top class chef. It's actually quite a compliment that they're interested, since these little gourmets know quality when they see it!

    [So long story short, Allura walks away from the sample stand with an armful of the sample cups.]
    shiro2hero: (im so proud of u nerd)

    [personal profile] shiro2hero 2017-03-18 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
    Trust isn't really the issue here.

    [He shakes his head.]

    I won't say "I told you so". But I want to.
    yablueit: (015)

    @ voltron writers, please don't let season three fuck me on this

    [ Lance hears that pause like it's a lot longer than it really is, and it cuts into the joke he was going to fire back with. His grin fades and he glances sideways at Keith while they walk. Keith finding out he was part Galra had shocked everyone, but at least back on the Castle, everything had been so stressful and immediate that there hadn't really been time for reactions to simmer. Allura had gotten over it quickly enough, but apparently that wasn't the case here.

    Keith being Galra didn't really bother Lance any, though, and he couldn't really pin down why not. Maybe it had been the fact that they'd already been helped by Galra, but Lance just saw the same old Keith, his rival, his teammate, running headlong intro trouble like some action movie hero, ready to cut his way through any soldier who stood between them and protecting the universe. Him being part Galra didn't change that he had a broken sense of humor and a dumb haircut and this crazy intensity to the way he fought.

    It's around this thought that Lance realizes he's been staring and not saying anything. Oops.

    What do you think these things are, anyway? The last crates I took on this route were just rocks, which I guess makes sense for building in the new region, but animals?

    [ It takes him a second before he cringes inwardly, realizing he just gave away that he's been doing cargo routes regularly. ]
    businessinfront: (Fuck those pointy horses.)

    [personal profile] businessinfront 2017-03-18 10:54 am (UTC)(link)

    [ The longer Lance stares at him, the more uncomfortable Keith feels; like Lance saw right through his sad attempt at covering for himself, and Keith can't imagine what he's thinking. It's like some kind of tension is spooling tighter and tighter between his shoulderblades, readying him for an argument he doesn't feel like having right now. Finally, he just snaps a weary: ]

    What.
    businessinfront: (Why is there blood & lettuce everywhere?)

    [personal profile] businessinfront 2017-03-18 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Yeah, he's calling shenanigans on that. For one thing, no kids that look that sweet ever are. ]

    Or maybe you just dropped something.

    [ He holds out his hand, cotton candy glob and all. ]
    yablueit: (107)

    [personal profile] yablueit 2017-03-18 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
    Sorry! Nothing.

    [ He looks away quickly, but it only takes a moment before he's glancing sidelong at Keith again. ]

    Is the Princess still all... Y'know.
    businessinfront: (voltronld-2x11-sa_1140-Recovered)

    [personal profile] businessinfront 2017-03-18 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
    Yeah. She is.

    [ He almost just leaves it at that, but... but Lance is the only other one who knows how everything went down, besides Hunk, who had been so kind and so optimistic that Keith had almost felt guilty for not completely believing what he'd said. He and Lance might butt heads more often than not, but at least Keith trusts him not to sugarcoat things. ]

    I don't know how to— ...I mean, before, she changed her mind after I volunteered to infiltrate Zarkon's ship. Maybe if I could do something like that again? But I don't know what.
    yablueit: (095)

    [personal profile] yablueit 2017-03-18 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
    I dunno, man.

    [ He sighs, shifting. He's uncomfortable, but he can only imagine how bad it must be for Keith. ]

    Have you talked to her at all since we got settled?
    businessinfront: (I got her a Nickelback box set.)

    [personal profile] businessinfront 2017-03-18 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
    Why do you think I've been out of the house so much?
    yablueit: (024)

    [personal profile] yablueit 2017-03-18 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
    Because you're a lone wolf who's used to doing his own thing, not living so close to so many other people?

    [ He offers a grin, hoping that it helps to make a joke. That's kind of all he's got to offer here. ]
    businessinfront: (Woke up with my pockets full of raisins.)

    [personal profile] businessinfront 2017-03-18 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
    Well... okay, maybe that's part of it, but...

    [ He trails off, uncertain. That's not inaccurate, but it's not the whole story, either. ]
