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.

Hey! Long time no see!

[And just like that, he's hunkering on down to wave at the human. With both hands. Jazz hand style.]

Dude, if you think I'm tall, you should see Riptide. He's like ... twice my size! And then Ultra Slowness? Even bigger.

[Lavellan sighs. He knew this wasn't going to be easy, but he had been hoping Varric might be a little more sympathetic, given enough time.

It's exasperating enough that he can't stop himself from snapping right back, which is obviously the most sensible course of action.]

What do you want me to say? "Sorry, it turns out none of that actually happened, my mistake"? Believe me, Varric, nobody wants it not to be true more than I do.

[He gestures with the stump of his left arm to emphasize his point.]

You, me, and everyone else.

[No argument here. None whatsoever.]

The ship we were on assigned everyone a job. Some made sense, but uh... guess they thought I'd be best in the kitchen.

As a chef.

Probably. [A smile twitched over Angel's lips. At least there wouldn't be any awful memories of her being an embarrassing, pudgy toddler, running amok in her underwear.] I hope that you didn't lose anything good, though.

Only embarrassing incidents with 'Space Ho' shirts, right?

She thought you'd— What?

[ He frowns. Shiro is without question the most level-headed person he knows, let alone the most level-headed Paladin. Wasn't that basically on the list of requirements Allura had cited for piloting Black at all? ...Then again, Zarkon wasn't exactly the most level-headed being in the universe, and he'd piloted Black, too.

He shakes his head as if to clear the thought away. ]

Maybe she could've thought that on day one, before she got to know you... But I guess there really wouldn't have been a good time after that to drop the whole "hey by the way, a psychopath hellbent on the destruction of the universe used to pilot your Lion" talk.

[He doesn't quite look at Lance directly when he nods.]

I'm a risk. That's what it comes down to.

[That's what she said -- not really, but that's what it boiled down to, as far as he figured. That she didn't trust him to listen. To take her advice. Or make a sound judgment.]

Then we should have made time. For all of us. You guys deserve to know just as much as I did. But...

Now we all know about Zarkon, and now we go forward, I guess.

Heh. That's cool. Most kids don't. Good to know when you're older though.

[KEITH STOP GIVING HUNK FEELINGS. He actually stops at that and looks a little awe-struck.]

... really? You mean that?

[ Lance takes a few steps faster down the sidewalk they've been walking, and turns to stop in front of Shiro. ]

You're not a risk, Shiro. Even if Allura was 100% right not to tell us, you're our leader for a reason.

[ All he can think about right now is Black's cockpit opening before him and the others, empty, and the feeling of dread that had sunk over him in the few moments before he'd suddenly woken up here. ]

[Her grin broadens, turning toward Hunk a little more.] We probably can! Or, well, we can at least do some tests to evaluate my hypothesis. Try out all of our potential options, right?

And if it does work, that's a pretty huge breakthrough. [Not that she's preemptively bragging or anything. Just stating facts.]

[Of course he stops when that happens. Staring at his teammate in surprise. An expression with slowly softens, as Lance keeps talking.]

[He doesn't answer him. He just steps forward, and puts both hands on those shoulders. Space Ho shirt and all.]

... I'm only as good as the team with me.

[And he squeezes, carefully.] Only as good as you guys.

I'm glad you're here, buddy. Part of me... probably needed to hear that.

[It was hard to resist his smile. Even though worry still churned in her gut, she offered Reinhardt a smile of her own, before her expression faded back into something more neutral. To distract herself, she quickly held out the glass, motioning with her other hand back toward the elaborate structure from whence she had come.]

I live just over there, with some friends. [She looked to the chopped wood, then to the man.] Do you mind if I ask the same question?

Whatever man, you don't look like that kind of punk. Just a sneaky one, that's all. Maybe try being less skulky?

[ Lance smiles, but it's small and unsure and there's worry in his eyes. He thinks about the conversation he had with Darin, about Shiro taking on too much, and he thinks about the fact that Allura hiding something from him had hurt Shiro this much, and then he's talking before he can stop himself. ]

Did anyone tell you exactly what happened right before we turned up here? For me and Hunk and Keith, I mean.

Super weird.

[ But Keith finds that he can't look at him, staring down at the ground instead. ]

... Hey. I know we don't always get along, but... thanks. Really. For being cool about it.

I've heard of amplifying sound as a weapon. I didn't think it would have many applications, but it is something that has been experimented with. [If only she had met Bossanova.] I didn't realize it could heal people though!

[She glanced down at his arm with a smile, then back up at the man.]

You must be incredibly smart, if you can find a way to use it as such.

[Anyone else, and she might have regarded them with a heavy dose of skepticism. But Zer0 hadn't ever failed her before, and she highly doubted he would now.]

I know you won't.

[Taking hold of his strange hand, Angel placed a foot against the street-sweeper, trying to find purchase on it so that the assassin wasn't doing all of the work.]

[She was determined to not be entirely useless around the Vault Hunters anymore.]

[More brow furrowing!!!]

How did they get red butts then?

[That's not the reaction he's expecting. So his own expression falters. The appreciation and praise fading a bit, into something a lot more concerned.]

I get the feeling you're not talking about the cow.

[And that, whatever this answer is, it's not going to be pleasant.]

Do you want to sit down for this?

In all honesty, I probably didn't.

[He can say that with a sort of half-smile. Like it's meant to be a joke. even when the truth is probably not even remotely humorous.]

[Then he shakes his head.]

So I guess I don't get to pretend that didn't happen, huh?

[Though the girl might not have meant to harm her, Angel still flinched away as best she could, wincing in anticipation of a blow that never came. When she realized that she would not be harmed, glanced up at the hand. Both confusion and disappointment ran over her features. Yes, her own changes had disappeared, but she simply figured she hadn't waited long enough.]

I don't understand. [She spoke more to herself than to her captor.]

[When the hand around her neck shifted, Angel tensed up in anticipation, expecting for her death to quickly approach. Instead, she met the girl's eyes, and sighed in relief when she realized that was all she was meant to do.]

[She didn't need the girl to speak to understand what was going on. The mirror was simply a trick, rather than anything else.]

I thought... [She tried to shake her head, despite the grip on her neck. Of course it couldn't have been so easy.] You're right.

[It was far heavier than Angel was used to, enough so that the weight pressed into her small, bony hands. They, along with the muscles in her arms, ached, but she wasn't about to be more of a nuisance than she already was.]

Yes. [She nodded, doing her best to put on a determined front. If she could lie about her impending doom, lie about the essence of who she was, then bearing the weight of a suitcase and pretending like she wasn't biting off more than she could chew would be easy enough.]

Lead the way.

Yeah, not so much.

[ He nods, though. ]

...Yeah, probably.

Okay. C'mon.

[The benefit of being on the same planet for a while is learning where things are fairly quick. They're not too far away from one of the coffee places Angela took him to.]

[It's one of the quieter ones, too. So that's where he'll steer Lance, and then, once they're inside, toward the more private seating areas in the back.]

Whenever you're ready. Unless you want to get something.

....I don't know. Maybe in a past life they fucked with some God and got cursed.

A lot of people have tried to shoot you, but they weren't your friend. Not like how he'd been to you.

[ Had she and Harry been friends at the time he'd dropped the grenade, chances are she wouldn't have been able to forgive him or trust him either.

Her hands tighten over her lap at the mention of her panic attack. Elena doesn't need that reminder, and she closes her eyes and drops her head because of it. ]

I never expected him to come back. I never expected to have to face him again. He should've stayed dead, Nate, and I know it is getting tiring having to hear that and...

And I don't know. It's a fear, okay? I'm afraid.

[ Her hands wring tighter and she does her best to ignore the catch in her voice. ]

What's the best thing to do when you're afraid? You don't run from your fears. You have to face them— I have to face him.

One day at a time.
