[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! ))

if you're not moved at all by her story, sure.
——was that too sappy? how about this: it sounds like listening to her might be the best bet for getting our powers back.
no subject
Pomarr may very well be able to work something, but I doubt she'd prioritize us over literally anything associated with raising her dead.
no subject
[ lancer knows someone will suffer for their decisions—decisions and sacrifices that have to be made. he's just willing to play favorites. ]
anyway, unless you've got a problem with dragging the dead back to life, we might not need to get in her way.
no subject
[watch what you're saying, lancer... don't block her off from all this alastair manmeat...]
And of course I've got a problem with that! It won't be pretty!
no subject
[ and perhaps more importantly: ]
what do you think'll happen?
[ he has his guesses (very few are good), but he is (was?) a spirit. he doesn't have the proper dominion to speak for other dead things. ]
no subject
Um. The same as hoards of undead back at home. Those Dakal will prey upon the living. They'll command a fragment of Ryba's great power.
no subject
you worry too much.
[ to both points, really. ]
but all right———whatever happens, i'll do what i can to stop a buncha undead cats from sprouting out of the sea. happy?
no subject
Is it important to you that I'm happy?
[let's make this conversation squishy and embarrassing, lancer.]
