[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! ))

We won't know until we try. People do desperate things when they're grieving. [He knows firsthand.] She's our best bet at figuring out whatever's going on, anyway. A little less up her own ass than Ryba, from the sound of it.

[As for weakness...] Unless you have an informant in some kind of underground sea monster club, I don't know. Even the cultists didn't know that much about her.

I've tried to contact Nalanni before with a whole lotta nadda.

[ please understand how crazy that sounds to him. ]

However—with the dirty deets on Pomarr, I may be able to make this worse. Who would know Ryba better than her own sister?

Well... if you couldn't contact her before, why do you think you can now?

I was blowing smoke into the void, you could say—rather like scrambling without purpose. I thought if I sent something out, she may respond.

With all of these new deets, once abilities are restored, I may be able to get a little closer.

Well, God willing. [A beat.] Pun not intended.

[It definitely was intended.]
