[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! ))

[It's always been about the answers. She'd been chasing the answer since she was- how old? Three? Four? Old enough to formulate the symbols and concepts. If she could find the answer everything would be as it should.

But there's no answer, and no guarantee it would get better at all.]


But is that not what we are supposed to do? Fix things- ? That is what we were told... to make it "right"-

On their terms? Yes, I suppose that's what we were sent here for. Whatever those expectations are doesn't make you're more or less because of them, even if there are those that may fault you.

You told me you no longer wanted to be lied to. Fuck ALASTAIR, seek your truths.

[ this is her story, not ALASTAIR's, and not Nalawi's. he's gotten sick of everyone telling him what he should and shouldn't be—what kind of Loki he was. he was the only one who decided that. ]

You may not find them all, but you will be the one defining yourself.

[Wasn't it funny- that she'd met this god because he'd bought the beer that Chantean shopkeep wouldn't sell her? That she thought he wasn't just talking about her.

He was still having to tell her the same thing he'd told her back then on that bench.]


- where are you right now?

[ well that seems kind of funny that she'd ask him that. it throws him off-guard a little momentarily. ]

Around this shipwreck that you've uncovered. We do have repairs to make—why?

[personal profile] grunehexe 2016-05-28 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why]

I want you to come here.

[Where she is.]

Ah ...

[ there's a tiny bit of confusion. and also, one thing: ]

Where are you again?
grunehexe: (taken away)

[personal profile] grunehexe 2016-05-29 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
What's left of the east dock.

[Where she went to think it all out.]

[ there's a sigh as he's surveying whatever he's doing, and: ]

Yes, yes—I'm coming, I'm coming.

[Her reply isn't even a word, really.

Just a sound of acknowledgement. Mmm.]
