[shortly after the storm clears on may 11th and the network connection between both sides of the group is reestablished, the following post appears:]

We're fine, as far as I know. I don't think anyone's dead, at least.

The storm that separated us was brought about by a Dakal named Pomarr. Some of you may remember her as our feline friend who sold her soul to Ryba—or whatever it is she did—to continue to live on after death.

She swept us to an island that looked like it was raised from the seafloor. It wasn't a vacation, but there were definitely remnants of what those big cats must have called home.

Her plan is to revive her entire race, in the same way Ryba "revived" her. As if life-or-death deals with shady goddesses aren't concerning enough, she wants to grant Ryba the power to carry out this mass revival by having her suck Nalanni dry. Pomarr understandably doesn't care much for Nalanni after she drowned everyone she loved; in fact, she showed us this in morbid detail. She's taken Nalanni. Hence, all the Nalawi losing their Gifts and all of this inconvenience we have to deal with.

Pomarr knows where Nalanni is, but she's asking us not to interfere, and she wouldn't give us the opportunity to speak with Nalanni when I requested it. For some reason, she didn't expect that we would be suffering like the Nalawi are. She's promised to try to fix that.

What do we do now, ALASTAIR? I can share anything else you want to know about our meeting with Pomarr, or Yukimura Sanada-san or Mr. Keats can, but this is most of it. We have a situation where the balance of this whole world might be upended if we sit and twiddle our thumbs.

I don't think I need to remind anyone of the potential consequences of messing with either goddess. Or a litter of zombie cats roaming free.

(( ooc: infodump for rin, yukimura, and keats' conversation with a dakal npc, for one of the plot slots! feel free to handwave your character (in either the marooned group or the left behind group) learned this info by reading the post or talking with rin/yukimura/keats/another recruit. yukimura and keats may also be replying to tags! ))

Well, some of us care about your well being, you idiot.
respired: why don't you mind your own business (listen to the distance between us)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-12 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs. Right now, he really doesn't care about that, either. ]

Your mistake.

[ It would be like arguing with herself considering she thinks similarly, BUT- ]

At the very least, Mr. Koltira, you're not going to go alone.

[ A short, knife wielding girl volunteering to help? What's crazy about that? ]

You're not going to get off easy from that.
respired: and all this love (all these things)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-12 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I will not stop you from taking your own course. But I do not know if I will succeed, and I can't guarantee your safety.
digophelia: (as the world is slowly coming down)

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-05-12 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
It is far better than to just sit here and watch them suffer any more.
respired: will you pick me up again (when i'm falling down)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-12 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
A few others are with us. Gilgamesh. Kida. Ashraf. But of those, it is likely only Gilgamesh and I will fight.
digophelia: (Your eyes never close  your mind's not a)

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-05-12 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not even hiding the fact she groans when she hears Gilgamesh's name. ]

Then you'll at least have strong support in that regard.
respired: might as well let it die (Default)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
You seem agitated, nevertheless.

[ He didn't miss that groan. ]
digophelia: (no)

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-05-12 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
He is mildly agitating.
respired: but i'll never die (you can bury my body)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-12 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
He is with me in this, and he is formidable. I am glad of his help, for as long as he chooses to provide it.

[ That's all Koltira needs, really. ]
digophelia: (Healing accordingly)

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-05-12 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I feel the same. Unfortunately. Though-

[ Awkward pause. ]

I feel much more comfortable that you would take this mantle up, truth be told, despite all the circumstances that have fallen on the both of us. You have a good heart and that is what matters the most.
respired: i'll face the quakes the winds the fire (angel angel what have i done)

[personal profile] respired 2016-05-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shakes his head, muttering. ]

My heart is not 'good'.

[ It's sorrowful, and it's angry ... but not good. Not to his mind. ]
digophelia: pretty sure this is the official art (I will lead this beast)

[personal profile] digophelia 2016-05-12 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
We all have darkness in us, in some way or another, Mr. Koltira. Don't be so dismissive of the goodness in you.
