January Intro Log

Who: New arrivals and old residents
When: January 5 and beyond
Where: Avagi
What: Hello, nice to meet you
Warnings: Label where applicable.


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.

redshitlord: (you say it's dinner with your sister)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-21 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! So!

You gotta find a new place to crash!
deal_me_in: (That moment when you think...)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-21 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's...been fine though, I think. I mean, it was weird, but I don't think he's had it out for crushing me. To be fair, I'm hardly in my room as it is.
redshitlord: (heaven in a ragtop)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-21 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah but!

He could change his mind! And just. Squish you!
deal_me_in: (Worse case - you die)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-21 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll talk to him and see if he wants to squish me. Okay wait, I have to ask- why would he squish me? Other than by accident.
redshitlord: (it doesn't bother me at all)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-21 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Because that's what they do!
deal_me_in: (That's good right?)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-21 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, but he hasn't.
redshitlord: (It's getting close to sundown)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-21 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
He could!

He could be like. Biding his time!
deal_me_in: (Then I shot that guy)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-21 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but then what would be the point? Anyway, that whole floor's a wading pool so I think I'll be staying away from there anyway.
redshitlord: (Bleeding when she kissed me)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-22 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno!

That's just. What they do!
deal_me_in: (Don't know don't care)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-22 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you said that already.
redshitlord: (BABIES COME FROM WHERE???)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-23 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
So! I really mean it!
deal_me_in: (This is my serious face)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-23 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
All right, all right!

[He is totally going to go and ask Spinister.]

And now? I'm going to go find somewhere to dry off because this is really not fun.
redshitlord: (but you --)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-24 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Right. Sorry about that, dude.

You uh... want a dry one? For like a towel situation?
deal_me_in: (That moment when you think...)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-24 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
A dry what? It'd be a big help to not be standing up to my boots in water for starts.
redshitlord: (darlin you're still divine)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-25 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He just wordlessly offers poor Cayde a sandbag from his pile.]

[It is, in fact, dry, however.]
deal_me_in: (So everything is gone)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-25 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
....

[Cayde isn't sure what to say. He ends up accepting the sandbag because he doesn't have the heart to question what good it'd do him. Sideswipe's trying to be helpful, anyway. ...at least he thinks so.]

Thanks...

[He looks at the thing, shifting it in his grasp awkwardly.]

Okay. Um. Gonna move on now. Keep up the good work?
redshitlord: (no more for sure)

[personal profile] redshitlord 2018-01-27 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He does brighten up a bit when Cayde accepts the bag. Mostly because he totally thinks he's helping. Cayde accepting it means he was, in fact, doing good.]

Okay. You do that.

Oh, and if you go diving and stuff? Tell me if you find treasure.
deal_me_in: (Then I shot that guy)

[personal profile] deal_me_in 2018-01-27 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Uuuh yeah. Sure will.

[He starts to head down another corridor, but not before giving Sideswipe a wink paired with a classic finger-gun gesture. No sense in putting the robo-kid down for trying to help out.

But all the same, Cayde will be really glad to get dry again.
