lunarwhite | NOVEMBER MINGLE.

STARS WHICH FALL FROM THE SKIES...

WHO. Everyone.
WHERE. Inside the White Moon.
WHEN. November 1 - 15.
WHAT. Mingling and exploration.
WARNINGS. None for now.

FOR THE NEWLY AWAKENED.

You are asleep. The dreamscape ripples, resolves into a vision of a foreign land, and then a world of pure white. There is the sensation of rising through deep water, and then you find yourself in a room of white marble. Your items may be set on the floor around you, or you could have arrived bare-handed - whichever it is, you'll soon be addressed by a couple of tired-looking people in white coats. It seems they're as confused as you are.

Upon receiving an introduction to the White Moon and choosing your faction, you will be allowed to leave the Sanctum - but there will also be an announcement made later on in the afternoon to all of the Moon's foreigners. Will you attend?

COLLECT AND RENEW.

Those who do attend will be ushered into one of the Sanctum's meeting halls, where Lucius waits with a woman in green by his side. The Empress and Wintersmith have arrived as well, taking their places to the side of the room - one austere, the other radiating a chill that befits his name.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks to your help, we've been able to assess the condition of the terminal. In the best interests for the Moon, it will be decommissioned permanently. We need to retrieve the crystals still inside it, and transport it back here."

Now, the Wintersmith speaks:

"Crystals are a unique type of substance in this world. They have the capability to store a great deal of energy within themselves, so they were chosen to power the environmental systems here. They are however a limited resource, so we need to conserve as much as we can. Understood?"

The Empress shoots him a glance, though her manner remains placid as ever.

"I will assist all that I can. If you have any queries, we are here to answer."

What will you do?

ADMIN.

Welcome to Last Eden's November monthly mingle! It is intended as a catch-all for threads that are not put in log posts. New characters are encouraged to use this post as an 'intro log' of sorts, for prompts both in the Sanctum and around the Moon. Please direct any questions about this log to the OOC post here.

The faction leaders (or their stand-ins, for Blood and Light) will be available to interact with upon arrival. To thread with them, tag in to the NPC toplevel and mention who you would wish to thread with. If you wish to have your character meet them later on in the month, please submit this to either the interaction turn-in on the OOC post, or contact the mods to arrange it.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"If you feel like carrying more crystals around, yeah, come up. From the looks of it, we can get everything out of this level, but then we'll have to head back. The basket will be full." It's a big basket, but there's apparently a whole lot of these crystal things, and he'd rather not drop any on the way back by the basket being over-full.

Phillip shrugs, climbing the ladder. He doesn't necessarily feel like carrying more, but he can and he feels a little bad for just 'supervising.' "The others are for another trip, right?" That could get annoying, with the basket.

"Possibly another couple trips," Stone says, eying the room, which looks pretty much exactly like the one below them. "If there's more than just a few of these levels." He heaves a sigh and gets to collecting. "How much has your faction told you about the other factions? Spring, Ice, and Light?"

"Not much. I know pretty much what we were told when we got to pick and not a whole lot more." Eventually he will have to, especially Light since there is a chance it's not high tech enough to freak him out, but he's just been trying to get his bearings so far. "Why?"

"Because I'm trying to figure out how much of what I've been told is the truth," Stone answers. He doesn't think the villagers lie to him; the villagers might have been lied to, or misremembered, or had their experiences colored by their own feelings. "And what the other factions all think of each other. Like how Spring isn't too fond of Blood. I wanted to know how much of that was earned and how much was exaggerated."

"Why aren't they?" That's a decent place to start, at least. Phillip doesn't know a lot about Blood, having just gotten there, but he knows more about it than the others. He can at least tell if what Stone's heard is remotely accurate.

"Because Spring blames Blood's wars and fighting and search for power for destroying their world," Stone answers. "They and Spring apparently had a skirmish going on, Blood destroyed some of their villages and injured their spirits. War made the land die faster." He still doesn't quite get the idea of a flat world that can disintegrate, but he'll wait to get into that with Phillip later.

"...Huh." That doesn't sound out of character for what he knows of the faction, true, but he also hasn't heard anything about that. "I can certainly try to find out. But I wouldn't be surprised if that was at least partially correct."

"I wouldn't be, either, but I want to make sure I have the facts straight before I condemn the whole faction for it," Stone allows. "And I need to find out about Ice and Light, too. I like Spring, and I like the people in it, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're right about everything." He heads back to the ladder to drop the crystals through the hatch, down into the basket. They make a lot of chiming and clattering noises but nothing seems to break.

Can these break? ...Is it worth it to try? Maybe later. "Mm. Makes sense. As long as we're here, it's probably worth it to find out." And somehow Phillip gets the impression that they're more likely to share notes than the people who actually live here.

NOVEMBER MINGLE.
