THE INFLUX
"It is not so much about beginnings and endings; it is about muddling through the middle."


The Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a long platform and that the room is filled with a soft cerulean light. It's slightly humid and dark despite the glow around you, and nothing is familiar.

Welcome to Caducus Primary


Shortly after your arrival, you are met by one of the captains and any of the crew of the Moira who might have accompanied him. You are given a brief physical scan and are asked to sign a contract that states you are now part of the Moira with a specific job. This process consists of a complete work-up of medical history and current health, and afterwards, you are given your MID, a device that is integrated into your hand with only the slightest pinch. Much like the Moira's own Ingress, C-Primary's Ingress seems to be malfunctioning, and nothing can return through it. If you choose to disregard this offer, you will be detained indefinitely by the natives of Caducus Primary. (Joining the Moira is really the only choice you have.)


DESCENSION
"I am the keeper of fragile things."



From a distance, Caducus Primary doesn't look like much. The weather on the planet is extremely stable, and the vegetation is neat, almost pristine. What stands out about C-Primary, however, is the fact that there are hundreds of VERY TALL buildings packed together in many of the cities. They are elevated about the ground on what appear to be stilts and sway almost gracefully in the gentle breeze that is always present. Their stability never wavers; they don't fall down. The streets are lined with beautiful sculptures that are placed wherever light is needed. Many other designs can be found outside as well as in. This planet is rather wealthy, and the abundance of their natural resources reflect in everything. The world glitters just as glass would in the sunlight.
Native Details
● They have darker skin tones, but their hair styles and colors are all as unique as they can make them. This can be seen as influence from other travelers.
● Friendly, welcoming, and encouraging to the crew to trade with them for what they need.
● There are no visible "poor" areas.
● Calm and organized. If lost or in need of directions, they will offer to take you where you are going.
● Vey strict when it comes to rules. (Trade what you say you're going to trade.)


CITY PROPER
There are many things to do once on planet. In the city proper, stepping into one of the multiple shops reveals workers crafting glass figurines, jewelry, cups, and other items to your specifications. Trading is the same as on all other planets—there is no one accepted monetary unit. Yet, any unsavory cargo (such as weapons, explosives, alcohol, and drugs) will not be found anywhere in the vicinity of these areas. Other travelers have set up places outside the cities near transporter zones for these particular necessities. Trade at your discretion. At night, if you catch your reflection in a surface that isn't quite as transparent (on a sculpture, the side of a building, anything made of glass), there will be a momentary glimpse of your past or future self. A blink, and then, it will be gone.

Staying on the Moira isn't required during time spent on Caducus Primary. Visit one of its many fine hotels with its beautiful accomodations. The price is remarkably inexpensive: it's free.

Tapas-like things... is there wine to be had with these tapas-like things? Or should I make a quick stop back at the Moira?
intherigging: (welp i'm screwed)

[personal profile] intherigging 2015-11-22 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt it; I haven't seen as much as a cider in any of these eateries, let alone ale or wine. [Jacky's pouting. Whoever heard of not selling ale???]

I'm nearer to the dock; I can pop back up and grab something if you'd like? Red, white, rose?

Red. [Elizabeth grins.] Let me know where it is, I'll grab us a table. [This was going to be fun. Those 'girls' nights out' she's heard of!]
intherigging: (peer)

I am actually so excited for this girl's night???

[personal profile] intherigging 2015-11-29 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's in the square with that fountain, the one with the queer flat horse? There's also a paper seller, and a bakery.

[Packing up her bowl (complete with at least a little bit of currency; hopefully enough to cover a meal or two) and her Lady Gay, Jacky loped off back to the ship, dodging people as she went. After grabbing two bottles from the commissary, she took the time to drop the Lady Gay and her bowl back off into her room before racing back to meet Elizabeth.

Skidding into the restaurant, she looked around to see if Elizabeth was already there.]

IT'S GONNA BE GR8 8D

[Indeed she is-- one chair empty across from her, lovely candles, Elizabeth is watching for her to arrive. When she sees Jacky, her face lights up and she waves excitedly. What a night this is going to be.]

Right where you said it'd be!
intherigging: (happy smile 6)

[personal profile] intherigging 2015-11-30 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Spotting Elizabeth, Jacky made a bee-line for the table and brandished the wine.] Elizabeth! I'm glad my directions made sense! I grabbed two, just in case!

[Placing one bottle on the table between them, Jacky folded herself down into the chair, tucking the second bottle down by her feet. Brushing her hair back, she looked around the place with delight.] This place looks even better for the dinner crowd! Weren't near as many candles when I poked m'head in around lunch!

How've you been enjoying the planet? Done anything fun?

[personal profile] tearmeanewone 2015-12-05 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Not so far-- well. Alright, that's being a little negative. I've spent all day negotiating some acquisitions for the library. They were happy to donate some volumes that they were culling from their collection, but I had to bargain for others.

[She grins excitedly at the bottle and reaches to open it-- fortunately it's one of those strange screw-tops so she can open it without a corkscrew.]

It'll be good to relax.
intherigging: (teach me your ways)

[personal profile] intherigging 2015-12-05 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jacky made a face.] Supply runs are definitely the least-fun part of shore leave. Necessary, but--

[She noticed how the wine-top worked.] Bloody hell, that's genius! [Grabbing her own glass, she waited for Elizabeth to pour herself a glass before taking the bottle, sniffing at the mouth as she talked.] Cor, that looks much easier to reseal than a cork. Mmm, smells good, too. Wasn't too sure; I've had some bad vintages in my day.

[Filling her own glass part way, she poured some of the water from the glass left next to her setting (a glass with ice, this future was amazing) into the wine glass to top it off.

She took a sip, eyes fluttering shut.] Mmmmmmmmmm.

[personal profile] tearmeanewone 2015-12-14 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh, she'd never seen the thing with the water before. In Paris, everyone had just poured from the bottle and drank it straight. But maybe there was something to that...]

[She takes up the bottle once Jacky's done.]
I've never seen anything like this either. It does seem rather convenient, but I wonder how good the seal is... [She pours herself a glass then does what Jacky did with her water.]
intherigging: (happy with food)

[personal profile] intherigging 2015-12-14 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Taking another large sip, Jacky hummed with pleasure.] Well, we might not need to worry about the seal long term--this wine is cursed good!

Don't know 'bout you, but I've enough coin to treat us if you need. [Looking around, Jacky caught the eye of a waiter and waved him over.] Oh, it feels like it's been hours since I've eaten; I could eat a horse!

[Not an actual horse. They're a bit tough, and while she doesn't mind them in burgoo when she's at an actual restaurant that she's going to pay actual coins for, she prefers to have the higher-end meat.]
