Job 001 :: The Arrival Job [Written/Action] {Backdated to the morning of July 5th}

Jul 06, 2011 17:15

[Waking up in an unknown area - a forest - with all of her clothes and belongings missing, face down in the dirt officially made the morning count as "one of those mornings". It hadn't been the first time it'd happened - hunters were a lot of pranksters when it came to their own - so Ginia couldn't be that surprised by it, but the problem was she ( Read more... )

Hello, Ginia. My name is Derek.

1) No one knows.
If you give me a landmark, I might be able to help guide you.

2) They have a nasty habit of activating by themselves; be careful where you leave it.

3) If they're taken off, it will kill you. We can glide for very short distances, but not fly. Most people don't bother.

4) We have a library, a bar, a welcome center, clinic, battle dome, a few shops, and a pizzaria. Everything is free.

5) Only way to leave is by way of the same unknown and uncontrollable force that brought us here.

Nice to meet you, Derek.

1) As advised, I've been following the river. Are there any notable landmarks out here? I haven't seen much that stands out aside from the occasional fallen trunk or memorable tree.

2) Really, an interesting thing to know. I'll be careful then.

4) The lifeline. Morbid as it may sound, how easily are the wings removed? I suppose one would have to saw through bone and muscle, but it's a valid inquiry.

5) So basically I should make myself comfortable.

1) There are mountains to the east of the village. You'll want to keep the river and mountains to your left and head south, more than likely. Eventually, the river going south terminates at a large lake. If you get that far, you've passed the village, but that means you just need to turn around and head north again until you see houses.

2) If you have a sharp weapon or a lot of strength, pretty easy. But yeah, you'd have to work at it a little at any rate.

3) Not too comfortable, but yeah. If you're going to try something, don't waste energy until you're relatively sure your idea might pan out.

...And so far, no one has had it pan out.

1) Duly noted. I think at some point, and after more preparation, I'd like to take a trip to the mountains or the lake. Anything of interest at either point?

2) So they're durable enough. A relief to hear.

3) Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'll have to do some more research into what efforts have been done. Have any suggestions on a starting point?

[Written] derek_bliss July 7 2011, 00:03:27 UTC

1) Depends on what you consider 'of interest'.

3) Know any quantum physics?

[Written] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 01:38:15 UTC

1) I'll take anything. Interesting natural formations, caves or alcoves from a previous era, man-made markings, anything.

3) Not my strong suit at all, I'm afraid.

[Written] derek_bliss July 7 2011, 02:44:52 UTC

The mountains have a lot of caves in them. Have to be careful though.

...That's a shame. People have tried a lot of stuff, from magic to what tech they could get their hands on in here already.

[Written] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 02:47:44 UTC

Has anything been found down in the caves?

What is the level of technology around here? Running water? Electricity? Heating or air conditioning?

[Written] derek_bliss July 7 2011, 02:50:20 UTC

Mostly wild critters and the like.

[And the occasional resident who needs a break form the village for one reason or another...]

Tech's not so bad. More or less modern stuff. Some folks even have a TV and dvd player, but you have to ask for those, and recently, things have change, so you might be out of luck on that end.

[Written] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 02:53:34 UTC

Good to know some people have some entertainment around. I guess I can find an outlet or something around somewhere. So things are comfortable enough, the shifts and such aside?

[Written] derek_bliss July 7 2011, 02:56:48 UTC

Yeah. As long as you aren't addicted to the internet or reality TV, you should be all right.

[Written] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 03:00:11 UTC

One can only look at cats doing funny things for so long. I think I'll enjoy the time exploring the area and getting settled in. There's a library to read through too.

[Written] derek_bliss July 7 2011, 03:06:33 UTC

[Well, that confirms it; they're at least from similar worlds.]

It's a good library. Has stuff from other worlds, too. Can be an interesting read if you don't mind being a little lost at first.

[Written] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 03:12:05 UTC

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of multiple worlds, but I'm sure it'll be interesting to read about. It's all very [She pauses, trying to find the right word.] fantastic.

Do you mind if I ask where you're from?

[Written] derek_bliss July 7 2011, 03:14:04 UTC

That's a good word for it. Fantastic. I tend to go for 'unreal' myself.

I travel around the southwest; primarily New Mexico and Arizona. Sometimes Mexico. Was raised in Malibu, though. Circa 2002. You?

[Written] shadedsunlight July 7 2011, 03:19:45 UTC

New Mexico, always liked the area. But I'm from the east, Davenport, Massachusetts, 2011. Been doing a lot of traveling though.
