Who: a bunch of less-than-upstanding nerd boys
Where: along this route
When: Day 8, or thereabouts
Open/Closed: closed to mapping party; pm rebells if your character would have icly asked to come!

[So you may have gotten a telepathic message a few days ago about an expedition to map the coastline . . . or maybe you were invited along by a friend. Whatever the reason, it's bright and early this morning, and it's time to set out!

Characters would have gotten a further telepathic message from Jay with a date and time to meet outside the shacks. They'll be heading east along the "shore," tracking the coast, and then heading directly back towards base camp . . . who knows what they'll find along the way?]

Like...as in that's his entire magical ability?

[ BAFFLED STARE ]

[p_mortem]

No. He can make refrigerators and... make them disappear?

[ Otherwise the entire beach would be covered with refrigerators, otherwise Minato would be carrying 99 refrigerators in his pockets. ]

[parodeity]

...Huh.

[ like. it's not the weirdest shit he's ever heard of - he's from homestuck - but dave still has some questions??? ]

Do they like...have...stuff in them?

[p_mortem]

Yeah. But I don't think he can control what's in them.

[parodeity]

Is it all food and edible stuff, or like random items too?

[p_mortem]

Random stuff.

[ Presumably, from Lenka's app bc Minato's thread with him is still ongoing, but it sounds even more messy than Minato's surprise bag of beads. ]

Food mostly, but everything can be useful, somehow.

[parodeity]

So, like...a fridge full of swords isn't out of the question?

[ asking for a friend ]

[p_mortem]

Probably not. It'd be good practice, summoning and resummoning fridges until you get an armory.

[parodeity]

[ note 2 self fridges are still hella shady ]

Huh. You know, it's a pretty wide spread of powers...the only duplicates I'm super aware of are the healers. I've met, like, two.

[p_mortem]

[ mem regains shitty swords falling out of the fridge ]

I know... Madoka. With the ribbons. Who is the other?

[parodeity]

[ he already did that at rec! ]

Uh, FF? Girl with green hair, offered to punch me so she could heal me.

[ i think she has green hair anyway? jojos???? ]

[p_mortem]

[ omg what was the trigger, who's storing weapons in their fridge ]

...Did you take the offer?

[parodeity]

[ peridot kept a punching glove in her fucking freezer ]

No, I just cut my hand so she could heal that.

[p_mortem]

[ a m a z i n g
but also wildly questionable, both peridot and dave ]

Oh. I guess that's safer than a ruptured kidney if she couldn't do it.

[parodeity]

[ IT WAS VERY QUESTIONABLE ]

I'd rather control how I get hurt, yeah.

[p_mortem]

Most of the time, you don't get that luxury...

[ see: snake bite

but also, he wonders if the possibility of getting badly hurt is a first time reality for many of the people here, and that it's a miracle that no one's died eating crabs or jumping off the beach

maybe they'll be the first ]

I think I see the water falling off now.

[parodeity]

Should we just paddle over the edge?

[ DAVE..................... ]

[p_mortem]

Yeah. We've got a lifeline. It's fine.

[ 100% trust in the integrity of Dave's rope and anchor, it's fine, it's fine ]

[parodeity]

All righty then.

[ GUESS WE'RE PADDLING OFF THE EGDE! should someone ask the mods what happens or just assume slingshotting

are they

gonna get thrown back and wet or ]

[p_mortem]

[ NO SLINGSHOTTING HAPPENS IF THEY DON'T FALL

The point of all this was so they wouldn't fall, Dave. Minato hangs onto the edge of the boat as it tilts over the edge and the floor beneath his feet becomes a vertical drop as they fall... fall... ]

—How long did you make the rope?

[ How long are they going to fall for and how are they supposed to reel themselves in? maybe they should just jump ]

[parodeity]

I dunno, fifty feet or so? enough to reach the ocean floor.

[ ARE THEY

ARE THEY JUST GONNA FUCKING DANGLE OVER THE EDGE OF A SHEER WALL OF WATER THEN

he sounds supremely calm for this anyway ]

[p_mortem]

[ They're dangling over the edge of a sheer wall of water, yeah. What where they here to see, anyways?

...Minato hauls himself up so he's sitting on top of the back end of the boat and looks out into the black nothingness of space. The water seems to fall on forever, fading into mist. ]

Can you draw a working camera?

[ They could document their last few moments alive, idk ]

[parodeity]

Video or snapshot?

[ he can try to draw either, but.

also

dave sticks his arm into the wall of water to see what happens. ]

[p_mortem]

Video.

[ If they go flying, they could also document that for all the non-believers and those who don't want to jump off cliffs. ]

[parodeity]

We could also just broadcast mentally, but.

[ he will start trying to draw a video camera! ]
