catch-all open log!
Who: Anyone and everyone!
Where: On the beach, and various other places throughout the hub island
When: Day 80, and the next couple days after
Open/Closed: open log for hub shenanigans!
[This evening, someone has placed an old, rusted-over camp stove on the beach near the coven's row of huts--anyone examining it in detail will see that it's not operational at the moment, but that could potentially be changed, couldn't it? If someone was handy with mechanical things . . . .
Next to it is a crate (which, from the weight of it is empty) and pinned to that crate is a sheet of paper with a map on it, something like a much cruder, black-and-white version of this:
with the following key:
1 - crags. Contain snakes which may be poisonous. Watch out.
2 - ocean, going about one mile out from the coast.
3 - lagoon. Contains thick reeds (could be woven or shaped into tools) and frogs (edibility uncertain).
4 - abandoned campsite.
5 - orchard. Currently, trees are diseased and bare. Plant healer needed.
6 - abandoned house. A family used to live here, from the looks of it. Still contains some useful supplies.
And there should be a 7 north of base camp with the notation "graveyard. Graves unused." but the player forgot and is too lazy to go back and fix it right now. Observant individuals will note that the map looks like a more detailed version of one hanging on the door to a certain coven member's cabin, one that has a note on the bottom: "Have information? Ask for Jay."
Other than that, it's a quiet night on the hub island. We've been here for a couple days; maybe you're getting restless? Want to check out that ocean, or lagoon, or even those crags? Maybe just go door-to-door in the beach huts? Maybe you're sick of shrimp and looking for other things to eat . . . hopefully someone's got a fire going tonight, and thought to kill a boar . . . .
What are you doing tonight?]

Souda glares down at the map that he made for himself off of the one he saw, turning it around... damn it. He's a mechanic and not a map-reader! Oh well. Guess he went the complete opposite way, because this sure as heck is a lagoon. Sighing tiredly, he plods forward, avoiding trees until he can look at the lagoon proper.
...What's that big thing in it...
wait he vaguely recognises it]
What're you doin'? Havin' a bath?
no subject
after the initial shock wears off, though, his second take is delight. oh, it's that guy! the fun one! he grins at Souda, pleased to see him, and relaxes.]
Oh, it's you! No way, this place isn't deep enough for a real bath. I'll just fly to the ocean later.
no subject
Then what are you doin'?
[still looks like splashing around to him]
no subject
[a moment later, a thick, heavy bundle of reeds thunks onto the ground a few feet from Souda's legs. Geir's gathered up a small (for him) armful of them, wider around than Souda is; he's apparently preparing to take some with him.]
Jay told me that they might be good for building something, and... I guess they could be? I'm not really good at that kind of thing. I thought I'd at least put some together...
[he DOES still have the lattice that he started trying to make, but he's not exactly showing it off right now. it's pretty bad. Geir's very dubious about his ability to create things in general, and his inexperience and clumsiness with weaving objects in and out of each other is certainly bearing that out.]
no subject
[THAT'S A LOT OF REEDS. Souda pulls back his legs a little, squinting at Geir before back at them.]
I don't know anythin' about building with these, either... [He reaches, plucking at them with his fingers dubiously.] I guess we're talkin', like, super basic stuff. Like shipwrecked people make when they got nothin' else.
[If it was mechanical... BUT REEDS AREN'T MECHANICAL.]
no subject
[Geir sighs deeply. it's hard for him to parse the setup here... he's used to untamed wilderness, and he's used to cities now that he's had his visit to Aimintas, but this strange, half-abandoned setting is just weird. it doesn't help that he can't do much with anything that's been left behind, since it's all too small or too human for him to mess with much.]
I'd give a lot to know who was here before us...
no subject
[Souda picks off one of the reeds and just starts absently twirling it around in his hands, for something to do with them as he listens. His nose scrunches, eyebrows furrowed.]
Hey, how long are we here before we get brought somewhere else anyway?
no subject
[he nods to the reed in Souda's hand.]
Do you know anything about making baskets?
no subject
[He ties the reed at each end... And then holds up the reed bracelet. Ta da. Is it not beautiful, Geir. Isn't he talented.] This's about all I can do with this.
no subject
[Geir groans and flops down in the water, splashing Souda's feet with a wave. he does give the bracelet a second look after he does so, though. huh. it isn't bad.]
Humans have such tiny hands! No wonder you can make things. But what in the world can you make with squirrel food and lightning?
no subject
[Wait a second. He thinks back over what he just said. Oh my god, Geir. Souda's mouth gapes open for a long moment as though he can't believe this is his life, that he has to explain nuts and bolts.]
No! Not those kinds! Just-- [He digs in the pocket of his boiler suit and of course he has things on hand.] These! [He holds up a screw.]
no subject
Okay. So what can you make with little metal thingies?
[not a better question. sorry, Souda.]
no subject
[LOOK AT THIS DRAGON. HE HAS NO IDEA. Souda will educate him!]
The better question is what can't you make! Every modern bit of technology'd be useless if you couldn't keep the damn things together. You're talkin' medical equipment, computers, heavy-duty machinery, cars, all kindsa transportation, everything.
I mean, you still need other parts for those, but.
no subject
[Geir is interested enough and listening attentively, but he has no context for what Souda is talking about, so it can only take him so far.]
Could you show me?
no subject
Well... not right now. I ain't got the stuff I need.
But! When I got access to all the stuff I need, I'll build something and wow you! [YEAHHH]
no subject
[Geir will absolutely take Souda up on that. he wants to see one of these large metal contraptions -- maybe they'll even surpass dwarven work, though Souda hasn't mentioned making a gold armband that will produce more of itself every few days. now, that would be a piece of jewelry for a dragon who likes to hoard things...]
I meant, show me with those signets of Qri's, though. Have you ever tried to send a picture with one before?
no subject
[Souda's face scrunches up. He's totally forgotten because it still, well, weirds him out. He's not into it!! But he supposes it has its uses?]
Nah, I haven't tried it myself, though I've been on the receivin' end?
no subject
[Geir is frank and unembarrassed about it-- his interest probably isn't worth making Souda uncomfortable over, but if Souda can bring himself to show Geir some images of home, he would like to see.]
no subject
[SUPER. PASSIONATE.
And after a second, after intense focus because he hasn't actually done this (he avoids telepathy, to be honest, still kind of weird) Geir will get in his head what... seems to be video footage. It was supposed to be a picture, probably, but Souda got caught up in thoughts of what he was sending. This footage, to be precise. ROCKET SHIPS ARE THE BEST TECHNOLOGY.]
no subject
[Geir is SUITABLY IMPRESSED, starting up from his place in the reeds in shock; the reeds rattle and the frogs protest loudly en masse. he perceives the rocket almost as some mighty beast, clawing its way up from the ground and into the sky in a display of mastery, in an explosion bigger than even the lightning strike of Thor's hammer. as such, it's extremely badass.]
You can really make something like that out of little metal things?!
[he's convinced. technology is really cool.]
no subject
Yeah, 'course! We've gone to the moon, you know?! You need a whole lot of little metal things, but you can't underestimate tech!
no subject
[Souda clearly succeeded in his goal-- Geir is a convert. he sniffs at the bolts and screws that Souda is holding out with much more enthusiasm. he still has no idea how such stupid-looking little things can create a rocket that spits fire and flies to the moon, but he's willing to take Souda's word for it.]
Can you really build something that'll take us there?!
[huh... when he thinks about it, he knows someone who wants to go to the moon...]
