[OPEN] Well. That Didn't Go Quite As Planned

What: You fall, you pick yourself back up and you move on. Or at least, you try.


Fished Out Of Water
One minute, you are witnessing the fabric of an entire world implode as it is literally ripped apart by powers unknown. The next, that tell-tale twist somewhere beneath your sternum, before you are bodily YANKED away from Akvos, away from the ocean and the Queen and the King and the Princess.

And land back on (mostly) solid, dry ground.

Welcome back to the Temple of Beginnings. Don't worry, there's no hurry for you to get back up just yet.


Hey, Howya Doin'?
Once you do get back up, now is the time to be taking stock of the situation - yours, your friends, and even those new merfolk neighbours (who may need a hand getting their fins back into the water). There is also the missing members of the Circle to consider: people who disappeared on the journey to Akvos, and those who never made it back..

(There's also that small matter with a certain 'witchess-san' that may be a cause for concern to some more than others.)

Whatever the case, it's a lot to process right now. Take the time you have, because you don't know if it'll be enough for what you need.

I'd want to say that sounds like him, but it kind of doesn't. At least. Not when I knew him.

[To him, Wash was the rookie. Hard-working sure, but also willing to talk to people.]

I don't, but I can check around.

[spaceforged]

I can sweep the halls near my partner and I's room. We're on the east side of the temple. [But the first statement sticks in his head. Wash came across as having as much baggage as he has. He was careful in his approaches and they both admitted...]

People come here from different times in the same reality. Was it that?

[brodakota]

Yeah. I think so.

I was kind of able to piece a few things together, but like I said, we never really got a chance to talk about it.

[Namely that he's dead back in their world, and Wash was from a time where that had happened. And well, Epsilon was also a factor.]

[spaceforged]

...maybe one day you will. People have come back before. If he does return, I hope he gets a power he dislikes less.

[He also might not be. It's up in the air.] Either way, so far it's just empty rooms in this hallway.

[brodakota]

Here's hoping.

[They hadn't even really gotten into a conversation about powers. It was weird, to know so little about someone he once knew rather well.]

No dice on my end either.

[spaceforged]

The hallway west of it is clear. ...we’ve lost several. No surprise so many are empty but it is a little jarring to see.

[But no sign of Wash. There’s no contact on the user list either. It’s as he suspected but he still goes through with the search.] If you see an elvish looking woman with red markings, tan skin, even tone of voice with the air of a scientist let me know.

[He still has to look for her too.] She’d answer to Honerva.

[brodakota]

Honerva, got it. I'll keep an eye out.

[He's mostly been outside the temple area for the time being, meandering his way back to his room.]

Haven't really seen a lot of people outside either. Though, I suppose we're all finding our own space right now.
