Day 8: Evening
Evening: 5:00pm - Midnight
[ IRL Timeframe: April 1st - April 15th, 2020 ]The light rain has changed into a downpour, coating the island, its forests, and its people in a constant barrage of water. After the events of the afternoon, it's like it's all being washed away.
Except it isn't, because the events of the day all happened. They're all real. And social media is abuzz about the loss of Harsen Island's mountain. Now, it's all just flat. There are forests, but Craydon is no longer a mountain-side town. Instead, they have a cog train that rolls horizontally across the flat ground from the main train station and over into their very flat town in the woods. Bamborough's hillside hotels with dozens of floors higher up for an ocean view are now down with the rest of the buildings, and only the highest floors can see out over the touristy area to the water. Far Haven, in contrast, has barely changed. You can't flatten something that's already flat. The only textures left on the island are the silver humps of two ships, one near Far Haven and the other near Bamborough. There's also a hump at the center, the cave entrance, leading down into the cave where the bodies were. For anyone who goes to look, there's a new body there now.

The participants in the fight against "Eight" put up a valiant fight, eventually defeating it in a show of heroic justice somewhere along the tracks. In all the rain, its yellowed body is disappearing away into the ground as it washes away.

Sxicq is... somewhere. The internet lost them again. Wherever they're at, it's not out on the surface of the island.

The monsters, meanwhile, have returned back to their home in the garden. At least, the ones who seem to live there.
Five and Six are in their rooms on the main floor with the doors open. Five is laying on her bed, tacking away on her flip phone. Six is in his room, sitting on the edge of the bed, also on his phone. If there's anyone in Four's room, it's unknown due to the closed door. Also on the main floor is the Wizard. She's casually sitting in one of the more plain of the thirteen chairs, reading an unnamed book. There's a steaming mug of cocoa on the coffee table in front of her.
On the second floor, Ten's room is the only one open. The doors for Seven, Nine, and Twelve are all shut. If anyone heads in to look for Ten, they'll find him writing in a small notebook with the title "Chef Notes" on the front.
On the top floor, Eight's door is shut but has a small "Text me" sign dangling off of the handle.

If anyone goes looking for the newly surfaced space ships, all they'll find is the smooth metallic surfaces of them rounding out of the terrain. If there's a way in, it's not obvious to others
The Weather
- Heavy rain.
- 59°F / 15°C
- A constant wind.
Prompts:
- 5:00pm Onward: Monster House, The Garden: For any heroes who are up for meeting any of the monsters, this is their opportunity. Some closed doors will have no one behind them, but the open doors are a guaranteed someone to talk to. Will they talk to the monsters, each other, or the Wizard downstairs in the sitting area?
- 5:00pm Train Station, All cities: All trains have been suspended, citing the "unknown conditions of the island's tracks" after the events of the day. No one is allowed to ride the rails, no one is allowed to go anywhere. Is your hero trapped at a train station waiting for an uber? Does another hero come to their rescue? What's the deal?
- ?:00pm General Post, Anywhere: Does your character go to investigate things around the island? Do they meet with other heroes somewhere over coffee? How are they handling being cut off from the world? Their family? Their loved ones? How do they feel seemingly being made the enemy of all people of the world?
Procedure:
Reply to the appropriate toplevel comments for events below. Indicate if a post is a private conversation with "Private" in the subject otherwise all threads should be open to interaction with others. Plan OOCly how you'd like to toss everyone around.
OOC Mortality Warning: Any hero who actively seeks out the Protector IC will be at a high risk of death in some manner. He is on the move, tread carefully!
no subject
I'm already scheduled with them?
Nice
Anything I should know about them that you can share?
no subject
Be yourself
They're all business
Ask questions
Invite Nine
no subject
Okay, easy enough
Luka's the best there is at being Luka, and he's dealt with a lot of business types (they tended to be boring, in his opinion), so he's not overly worried about the first parts.
I can try to bring Nine
I haven't really met her though
How essential is that part?
no subject
Not essential
Just helpful
Can't text her
Without permission I mean
no subject
Is it like a mental thing like with Sxicq...
Or is she just mean?
This was vital intel. If Nine was some kind of hardass it would greatly change Luka's approach.
Actually I asked Ten if you were mean too before we actually met
I'm glad you didn't turn out to be
no subject
Makes appointments
Bad at improvising
The first texts come all at once, before a long pause, and then--
What did he say
But also he's re-reading again and again that Luka says he doesn't think he's mean.
no subject
Okay that sounds not too bad
I'll try to bring her if she's willing to go with me?
Ten said you "try your best"
no subject
She's not bad
Say I asked
But then there's another long pause before he answers that other bit, unhelpfully:
Don't know what that means
no subject
But his confidence wanes when Eight's next reply completely debunks the conclusion he and Gyre had just come to. Apparently, knowing someone for near forty years or so doesn't always mean you completely understand each other.
I don't know one hundred percent either tbh
I thought he meant you had good intentions but maybe came off as rude?
But I didn't find that to be the case
no subject
Not sure
He's talkative
And weird
no subject
Weird is good
Ten was the first one of you all I really met
Ten was pretty vital in changing Luka's mind about the monsters. He likely would have come to the same conclusion even without Ten, but it would have taken longer.
Most of you guys are cool
no subject
Not bad
Then there's a longer pause before the more important question comes:
Who's your favorite
no subject
Well
I haven't really gotten the chance to get to know everyone yet
So I don't have enough information to choose!
Hopefully that's acceptable for now.
no subject
That's fine
Was curious
Thanks
All three texts come at once again, but unfortunately Eight doesn't know what conversation to switch to next. Oops.
no subject
Do you have a favorite knight?
