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

Rating: PG-13, may vary by thread
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.

[Hank looks almost surprised for a second and then looks down, looking a little like he's tasting something bad. It's not that that second idea's a bad one - it's that it's a good one. One that'd need him to take initiative. Hank's had good ideas in this place before. He knows how it goes.]

Any chance you'll be the one to volunteer to set that up? Cause if that gets left up to me...

[He runs his tongue over his teeth, sighs, shrugs.]

[brodakota]

You know, now that I've said it, I just might. I mean, I could always use a hand if you're up for it, but I think it would be a good place to start.

[And that way, at least a conversation's happening.]

[fuck1ngusernam3]

[Hank eyes him, wary.]

A hand with what? Don't you just have to go, 'hey guys, let's go over everything we did' and watch it happen? But I guess uh, the problem with that is the fuck ups aren't going to want to join in and watch all their little fuck ups stack up.

[He bounces his eyebrows up with an unhappy, pointed smile, meaning to say, 'trust me, I'd know'.]

So you're only really gonna get responses from guys like Shiro and Izuku and, I don't know, Konoha or whoever. The people who did all they could, you know?

[brodakota]

Well, a response is better than nothing. And maybe someone would feel encouraged to chip in who otherwise wouldn't.

[He shrugs.]

I was just thinking it'll be a lot to record all that information. Keep a record, you know? But we can just call it an idea in progress.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

Yeah.

[He sounds tired, but he can't disagree.]

Yeah. Uh, if it's records you want there's this guy who has this little office, uh, Barabas. But- yeah. Telling everyone to go over it themselves would be... something. Good luck with that.

[He gives a tight, apologetic little smile. He knows what he's good for right now, and it's not 'good, helpful ideas'. Sorry, man.]

[brodakota]

Well, it's a place to start at least. I'll check it out.

[He'll take what he can get. It's only the start after all.]

Hopefully I have some time to work out the details.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

Yeah.

[He sighs, running a hand over his face.]

Good luck with that.
