Arrival

A shiver of light, a sense of falling, and Avagi's portals have claimed another traveller. For those first stepping out of the Ingress Memorial, Avagi may be rather disorienting, but some areas are quite lively, and there are plenty of places to explore. As newcomers make their way into their new home, they'll encounter new acquaintances and a few pitfalls. Last month's time distortions have settled... for the most part. The strange flickering light atop the Ingress Memorial's central fragment lingers, though, pulsing and shifting in strange, hypnotic patterns. Left to their own devices, a character may stand in place for over a day, entirely unaware of their surroundings or the passage of time. They can be snapped out of the daze... with effort. And in most cases, touch. Over the last few months, Avagi's sudden population has done a good job breaking in old living spaces. Unfortunately, after a century of disrepair, some of those systems have been quietly breaking down. Today? It's the plumbing. The Bar, Bartering Block, and several of the Labs are rapidly imitating a swamp. The Gym has acquired a new pool, and Sanitation is mostly underwater. Residents of the Chemistry and 🙀 housing sectors may need to start putting up sandbags—or bailing their rooms dry. Whether to lend a hand or loot their neighbors, someone's going to need to (dive) get to the bottom of all this. The water spillage is mostly clean, but if conditions persist, that won't last long. While a few (aquatic) species of the local mini-dinos are enjoying the new swimming space just fine, their more feathery compatriots have rapidly gone from bedraggled to soaked... and heading towards hypothermic. The recent spate of exterminations has them warier than usual of humanoid life, but less hostile (or more oblivious) station-dwellers may find a small flock trying to get dry in front of their space heaters—or any sources of potential warmth.

Eddie was built on nothing but stress and offense. Actually, that wasn't completely true, but right now it might as well be. Everything about the flooding situation was offensive to him in that it was deeply inconvenient.

'Because of how I am'. Well. Eddie looks a little put out by that. Not really in a bad way, but because he understood being sick easily. Not that he actually was sick easily, but it's a concept he grew up on.

"Yeah, well, if you're sick then you can't help people. You should at least change out of those and let me make you something that'll keep you dry," he suggests with a point to his hand-made tarp pant things. They at least did the job.

That... actually does give him pause. It would make things more difficult, that's for sure, but... hm. In the end, he shakes his head stubbornly.

"That'd take too long. I can worry about stuff like that later."
