Save Atlantis RPG

I am happy to report that rebuilding of the bookstore is going well. I shouldn't be surprised that somehow the trees have regrown themselves and it's possible that when we're done, they will be fully grown. Nothing about this place should surprise me anymore but sometimes it still does.

Congratulations to the happy couple. It's a bright spot. There's nothing to crown a victory like a wedding. I'm surprised happy I was able to see it.

[Friends + Teammates]

An old friend shared an old Egyptian blessing with me. Whatever you decide to do from this point on, "May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk."

[Jyn Erso]

Another friend asked me if I had trouble adjusting without a war to fight. I don't know It's hard to believe there won't someday be another one on the horizon, but I think I can do without for a while.

I can't say that I'm a fan of all the rain but at least it's Taco Tuesday? That's always a good time.

I bought a new shirt for Trocution tonight. Too Ravenclaw?

It seems to be fashion day! I wouldn't have picked this for myself but once I put it on, I like it. Marcus, where shall we go so I can show people that I actually can dress like a girl?

If I had to be a vehicle, I would have preferred a ship. Or at least something full-sized.

[ALPHA]

There might be a tactical use for this, I suppose. Otherwise, Team One should do just fine training in my absence today.

I'm glad to be back from the mission but it was really sort of fun. I also never knew hanging out with a giant caterpillar smoking a pipe would make so giddy. I've never felt quite like that before.

Well at least no one is a dog today? Unless I missed something.

[MJ and Marcel]

I'm going to be gone on a mission for a few days. Probably for a week at least. I don't know if we'll be able to communicate or not but if we can, I'll check in.

[Marcus]

Apparently I'm going off to hunt some puppies from a cartoon land. Marcel will be at home but would you mind checking in on MJ while I'm gone? I don't know if we'll have comms access or not, I'll check in if we do.

I love you. I'll see you when we get back.

( We can stick together )

So, what the fuck was the point of that meant to be?

[To people in the Arena]

I'm sorry. I panicked regressed wasn't suited to a leadership role when we were in there and I apologise for that. I should've been stronger more put-together.

Thank you to everybody who helped in various ways, though. I owe you all drinks and dinner if/when you feel up to it.

[Separate filters to Bones and Pike, same message]

Sorry you had to watch me being a mess, apparently. Kind of embarrassing.

As both a warrior for ages untold and one here now too, who's been through some sick shit and watched cared for ones go through it as well, I can tell they are trying to break our spirit and our morale. That's what the coma dreams were about, the kidnappings, the intake sabotage, and that's what that arena is about.

I was once broken and my little pieces backflipped into a deep dark hole out of which I climbed literal ages later, with a little help from my friends. Now I am the spiteful, contrary sort of shit that won't go back down there unless I damn well want to and I don't want to. They can't break me, I've been broken. It's the good thing about a really strong, deep sort of pain is it renders you sort of invincible after a fashion.

I know I'll probably piss some of you off even saying this shit, I can't tell you how to deal with your own trauma. I'm not trying to. But I can tell you in a way I get it, and I can ask you not to let them win. Do it for the greater good, yourself, your loved ones, out of spite even. Hold onto each other, cute animals, vices, whatever you have to. But don't let them break you.

I never saw a pinecone before I came here. I hope I never see another one and if I do, I am not touching it.


[Marcus]

Where are you? I know you're patrolling somewhere and might not see this right away but I need to get out of here and do something.

[Alex Belikova]

I can't tell you how glad I was to see that you were okay when I woke up here. Did you get a puzzle piece too?

Beware of your surroundings and don't trust the arena. Don't open any strange packages. Stay close to each other.

Hello, everyone. I'm Edmund Pevensie. If you were in Atlantis, you might know me as an assistant district attorney at the courthouse. If not, you may have read those bloody books

I don't know who all is here, but a roll call wouldn't be a bad idea. I expect we'll get back to Atlantis soon, but if anyone was injured when the bears attacked or otherwise needs help, I've some experience in living in the wilderness like this. We're well set up on this island, except for the barrier, and the better we are at working together, the better we'll do.

Hello, Atlantis - I'm sure some of you have noticed we've had a bit of turnover lately. People leaving, new people showing up. For you newer people who don't already know, I'm Katie Bell and we've got a bit of a quidditch league going, which I started up with Benjy Fenwick! If you've never seen the sport or played, we play on brooms, it's bloody fun and those of us who have experience playing are happy to teach anyone who wants to learn.

That said, we could use a few more reserves to pad the rosters, so if it sounds like something you'd like to do, please sign up! We practice on weekends, so come on down to the Pitch to see what it's all about! Spectators welcome, even if you don't plan on playing!

I'm not going anywhere. And Proud and Star aren't going anywhere, and if you try to take anymore of my family, I'm going to stop you.

Even though I know I don't have the time to join one of the official teams, these Quidditch matches make me miss playing sometimes.

[All Agents/Teams/Reserves]

I've been meaning to post something formally with this for a while, but this place doesn't like to take breaks. So, I'll just do it informally, and we'll have a go when we can.

Is anyone interested in having a round of Capture the Flag? We can spread out into teams down by the lake and woods. The idea of this is to work on team building but also to have a little fun. The number of teams will depend on the number of sign ups, my hope is to mix up people with powers and skills. Use the skills like you might would on a real mission with protection of the flag and looking out for your fellow teammates.

I'd want anyone to be able to join in and not interfere with a mission, so as long as we have enough people to make this worth it, the target is in a week or two to avoid interfering with any future missions. Just leave your name below if you're interested.

[Becker]

We should check out some of those cabins down by the lake for a couple nights.

Did you know that today is the anniversary of the seventh time that Henrik von Schpeklaklaus found a iris-colored sporkwheeler in his back garden? What a wonderful day and we need to celebrate with yorkschemlders! Does anyone have any?


ONE CHARACTER EACH spends the day trying to tell people about a holiday that they made up.

I'm not a very crafty person, well I am but not in an arts and crafts kind of way. Usually Atlantis finds a way to get me into cooking contests or classes but this time there was something different. I went to the class on making pressed flowers and this is what I made.

It turned out pretty well. I guess I should frame it, I don't know what else to do wth it.
