End of Event + Announcements!
[The intercom comes on in time to catch someone in the middle of a long, relieved sigh.]
..aaaaaaahhhhh.
Oh.
What?
It's on already? Why didn't you tell me sooner!?
[The sound of a throat clearing]
A-hem! Right! The Drive's shut down, the banana-creatures have disappeared, and we're currently in orbit around the beautiful steel-and-titanium star of the Nahalarian Galaxy, Cornucotopia VIII!
Shuttle service down to the planet will begin tomorrow.
Oh, and the upgrades to the Stowaway cabins are complete, right on schedule. You're welcome.

OOC Info:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about Cornucotopia VIII:
Cornucotiopia VIII is a hodgepodge of civilized society, where all of the finer things in life are actually city sized. According to the Cornucotopia Tourist Department, the entirety of the planet's surface (excepting the one small ocean in the southern hemisphere) is fully covered with cement and Damoragian steel, and the world's second biggest city, Townsville, boasts the tallest skyscraper in the Eastern Spiral Arm of the Galaxy at just over 19,840 feet (counting the flag pole on top).
The planet's largest city, Malltopia, is famous galaxy-wide as the largest mall in the known universe. Though initially the planet's first, and then largest, shopping mall, it has since grown to such a size as to rival and then overcome both the square mileage and population of the now second-largest city on the planet, Townsville.
The indigenous people are mostly humanoid, save for their skin color, which is translucent. However, based on their moods, they will change, often times elevating the mood itself. Needless to say, a few words can escalate a situation into any matter of mix ups, so make sure your Babelfish is set to its most polite function, lest you unintentionally create an interstellar incident.
If you're concerned about your inability to be polite, however, have no fear! Almost 50% of the planet's population is made up of immigrants from various other worlds, so you're sure to feel right at home somewhere!
Cornucotopia stats:
Suns: 1, pale yellow
Sky color: Sea-foam green
Day length: 29 galactic-standard hours
Climate: Very moderate; Mild-warm at the equator, then mild-cool closer to the poles.
Population: 18.3 billion
Largest city: Malltopia
Chief attractions: Consumer-based activities such as shopping, shopping, and then shopping some more. The cities of Zoo York (pop. 756,008), a zoo the size of a city. The mayor is a space gorilla named Coco, and he's Coco for Coocoo Poofs.
Places to avoid: Buenos Office, a coastal office town whose main export is crippling management.
OOC Announcements:
× The nannerpuss invasion is at an end, guys! But don't let this stop you from backtagging!
× No, the Babelfish doesn't have politeness settings. No one knows what the editor of the Guide was drinking when he let that little anomaly slip through!
× As always, feel free to expand on the history, culture, and current political condition of our current planet! The description we give you guys is just a starting point - remember, culture, history, and population vary from location to location, so if two characters go to two different places and have wildly different experiences, it's complementary, not contradictory!
× It's December already! D: Just a reminder, while we did cut the activity requirements for November in half, we are still going to do a November activity check, so make sure you comment to the Activity post before the 7th! One entry in the gargleblasted community is all we're looking for this month! We'll be putting up more details about making up missing November activity in the AC results post that we're planning for the 11th or 12th!
× Plot spam post will be going up on the 15th!
× Missions will be posted a little later this evening! tomorrow evening. Sorry for the delay, guys! ;A;
