Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, September 19th. This mission will take place on Etraya, and will last approximately two weeks while our planet's trajectory aligns with the nebula we are utilizing. I will be opening a small vent that will allow particles from the nebula to enter Etraya's protective shield, and your objective will be to find the vent and close it.

However, the particles of this nebula are known to cause adverse effects in those it comes into contact with. These effects will make focusing on finding the source of the leak difficult, and may cause perceptual disturbances, paranoid ideation, disorganized thought, social withdrawal, emotional blunting, and symptoms of thought disorder.

For those who may have extraordinary abilities, this nebula will also block access to these. I would recommend not attempting to circumvent it, as previous attempts have not been successful.

Teamwork will be imperative, and I suggest that, given the amount of time you have to prepare, all of you work together to decide the most effective way to work through the nebula's side effects.

I will be here if any assistance is needed.

Thank you,
Aurora

Hello, Etraya. My name is Lois Lane, and for anyone who met a younger me before, yes, still a reporter, and no, that wasn't past me.

( A pause. People get alternate worlds here, right? )

I'm interested in talking with people about the most recent mission before our next one hits, especially in regards to the anomaly itself and any resolution or lack there-of there was. I want to write-up what we as Etrayans believe happened and get it out there for everyone since there's no real mission debriefing process.

If there are other missions you'd like to go over from your perspective, I'd be glad to do the same. If you're concerned about being named, tell me and you'll remain anonymous.

( Another pause. She sighs, very, very quietly. )

I'll be spending a good part of the later mornings over at the unnamed Diner. If anyone has anything else they'd like to comment on about Etraya and see distributed, you can reach out to me by text or call or stop by. If you're all going to end up asking for gossip columns or restaurant reviews, I'm drafting help.

( ooc: "Interview" Questions here as a form to fill out OOCly; happy to also thread anything out, just is easier if I have info to work with sooner for writing up. And no I have no idea what I'm doing we're living in Wild Times. )

[Su You has his hair in a low pony tail, still dressed in the white robes he arrived in. Modern clothing is...odd.

He has some clementines in front of him, one of which he's peeling.]


Does anyone know a way to summon a god? Preferably one that is beginner friendly. [He pauses, then adds.] I suppose a method for summoning spirits may be suitable as well.

[Is he going to give context? No. At least he didn't ask about summoning demons...?

He takes a piece of clementine and puts it into his mouth...then makes a face when he chews it. He looks down at the fruit as if he had been betrayed by it.]


...this is supposed to be this world's sweetest orange? Why is it so sour...?

[Did someone believe the advertisement? Maybe.]

I. Chocobo Ranch Announcement (video)

[This video message might inspire a bit of deja vu, because here's Cloud again on the network with his chocobo chick, though the chick is quite a bit bigger now than it was last time. Now, there's also a yellow adult chocobo with a saddle and bridle, and the backdrop is not his apartment but what looks like a farm of some kind.]

Hey. So...this is a chocobo ranch that came from my Planet. Showed up in Nevergrey, so I asked Aurora about putting in all the supplies and equipment it had back home, and she did.

So I figured, might as well run it.

[The chocobos 'kweh' in unison and do a little happy dance, which looks scripted but absolutely is not, judging from the slightly skeptical look Cloud shoots them. Well, chocobos gonna chocobo.]

Uh...anyway, we got stable space for rent, feed and other stuff for taking care of the birds for sale, and accessories with a place where you can try 'em out and see what works best for your chocobo. There's a vending machine with some potions and materia in it, too. Once I get a chance to go out and round 'em up, there'll be birds for rent, too.

And yeah, I know there's no money. Anybody who's hired me before knows I work for trade or services. Speaking of, still available for deliveries, odd jobs, deadly pest control - the usual. Gonna move into the farmhouse here, so you know where to find me.


II. Grand Opening! (action)

Just kidding - there's no actual 'grand opening' event, because this is Cloud and he doesn't do parties or anything adjacent to them. But the ranch is now open for business, and if anyone else feels like gathering a group and arriving en masse, well, not like he can stop them.

A simple wooden fence encircles a small ranch for raising, keeping, riding, training, and renting out chocobos. Cloud didn't advertise riding lessons, but if asked, he could probably be talked into giving them. Much of the land is taken up by the large, grassy corral in the center, where the chocobos can run around, dance, and entertain themselves during the day - though the only birds there right now are Cloud's two. Just inside the fence to the left, there's a rest stop that includes a comfy bench, restrooms, and a vending machine containing snacks, drinks, various types of potions, basic materia with a few accessories designed for mounting those materia in, and booster packs of Queen's Blood cards.

Further from the entrance is a large barn beside a tall grain silo. Inside the barn there are stalls where the chocobos will eat, sleep, and get groomed. There's also a shop that sells various kinds of bird feed, greens and other treats, tack, accessories, and supplies, as well as a Chocoboutique where visitors can dress their chocobos up in those fancy new duds they just bought. Yes, that's what it's called - there's a sign that says so. No, Cloud did not name it himself.

Currently, the only workers here other than Cloud himself are bots, but Cloud is far from confident in their abilities, so he'll take over relevant tasks himself if he can whenever a customer arrives.

The rest of the grounds are dotted with sheds and stables of varying sizes, and there's a farmhouse with enough space for a large family to live in opposite the rest stop on the other side of the ranch.


[The chocobo ranch is here! The second prompt is meant to be a mingle-type prompt, so I'll be putting a top-level for interacting with Cloud below this post, and anybody else who wants to can do the same!

If you want a listening suggestion for music to play while you tag this post, here are a few for you to enjoy at your leisure!

Seriously there are SO MANY...]

reincarnesiac: (consider | the air is thin)
[personal profile] reincarnesiac posting in [community profile] etraya
( The wind's too loud to hear anything at first, catching the earpiece at exactly the wrong angle. Then Alex waves, smiling with that glassy eyed look that significantly tipsy people can end up wearing. It's dark behind her, but anyone very, very familiar with the skyscraper rooftops in Nova City will recognize she's on one of them. )

Hiii! Oh, it is... so not as cold up here as I expected!

( She laughs a little, throwing her hands up into the air and stumbling forward to likewise toss her arms around part of a metal structure, possibly a radio tower. Alex rests her head on it, her laughter trailing off as she smiles, a little bittersweet. )

I wanted to send a message. A big one! A big... message. So I thought, what if you had a lot... I mean a lot of power behind a radio signal? Won't that do something? We just want to be heard...

( Her eyes close, and it doesn't seem like she's doing anything. Then the tower starts to hum, lighting up with a soft sort of glow under her hands. Anyone tuned into its frequency will hear a humming too, almost like static feedback, that starts to sound more like a heartbeat. Hers. Then a clearer message with that beating in the background: Echo. Come in, Echo.

Then it really starts to glow, until the whole radio tower is a beacon of light. There is no way for the tower to handle that much energy for long. Alex's brow furrows as she's swallowed by the light, the overpowered radio signal shooting up a moment later, all the light abruptly going out as it fizzles upward, a misleading manifestation of what went without being visible to most eyes. Alex is left clinging to a partially melted structure, pushing herself away to stand, swaying.
)

... Did that... oh. I don't... feel so good...

( Which is when she goes boneless, dropping out of frame to hit the rooftop in a muffled thud, close to passing out. Luckily her earpiece is still recording! ... About four feet higher than her current head level. Enjoy your scene of a warped radio tower and the otherwise unremarkable rooftop, Etraya. )

Hey, listen up.

[He hates doing announcements. Even as Board Chairman he tried to avoid them whenever possible and let his city's communications department handle disseminating notices. Unfortunately, there isn't anyone else here like that who can do this, so the responsibility falls to him. Besides, it's a distraction from certain thoughts that keep invading his head — events in San Francisco, certain Etrayans disappearing, his ribs still aching.]

A while ago this brat and I were using Ramsay Farm as a space for kids. Most of them are gone now, but since kids still show up sometimes I'm opening it back up for that. The fridge is stocked, there are a couple of bedrooms, and a security system's been installed. There are some farm animals the bots have been taking care of, too.

If you're 15, 16 or 17 you can hang out, but only if you're willing to help out around the place. Cleaning, guard duty or whatever, I don't care as long as you're pulling your weight and not being a leech. Anyone younger can just hang out.

If you're 18 or older then you can come do work, and only if someone under 18 vouches for you not being a creepy shithead. You're not allowed to be a loafer. If you've got an age that doesn't line up with modern human legalities then go by your cognitive development and stick yourself into one of these categories: kid, teenager, adult. Then apply the rules based on where you fall.

If any teens or adults break any rules or if anyone messes the farm up, including the gravestone on property, I'll beat the shit out of you. This is your one warning.


[He isn't sure if he'll ever get used to giving warnings, but he knows it's better than the alternative of just attacking someone out of nowhere because they broke a rule. Violence is the easy answer for him, and he's making a concentrated effort not to take the easy way out.]

There aren't really places around here just for kids, and adults are usually really shitty, so getting a break from them can help.
