Riftworld

i forgot how much playing in the mud can raise your spirits. i'm a mess but i like it that way. i've missed it.

[Expedition]
i'm heading back to skull rock for a little bit to handle some things. i'll either meet you guys back at camp in the wilds or track you down wherever else you might be. i need to see my friends right now.

[Skull Rock]
i'm coming back for a little bit. alone. we're going to figure some things out, one way or another. see you in a few.

And the ocean waves do roll,
and the stormey wind do blow
We poor sailors go skippin' at the top
while the landlubber lie down
Below, below, below
and the landlubbers lie down below


[Gil]
Hey, ye gorgeous idiot. We need to chit about Uma.

THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

Where am I? Oh no. I'm going to be late and mother says lateness is rude. I didn't mean to, but the air was so pretty and I just wanted a peek.

Bippity.

I'm heading out for a bit.

Seems the portals are bringing more people through at the moment, interesting.

[Skull Rock]

Harry and Gil are coming back here. finally

[Durin]

Saw someone from your world's shown up, this a good thing?

[Julian]

So. You're friends with one of mine. As her Captain, it's my responsibility to make sure you're on the level.

This ought to be fun.

[Gil]
Time for a wee bit change of scenery, lovely. We are going to the Rock.

[Harriet]
Make room, sister of mine. I'm joining the Rock... sort of.

So, I grew up in a place that was always dull and damp and pretty dark, but this is taking it to a new level. Anyone got any idea what might be causing it? I'd gotten used to having some sun.

I hesitate to do this again because my last three teachers have all disappeared shortly after we started my lessons. However, knowledge and survival mean more than my discomfort and we've had several new arrivals as of late.

My name is Evie and while my mom was very much into magic and powerful, I've never known how to -- or been allowed to -- access the magic in my blood.

Since being here, I have learned a few things, but I am aware that there is a lot more that I can and need to learn. To do that, I need a teacher.

It does not matter what kind of magic you have as Piper, Rodolphus, and my motherRegina all had very different magic and were still able to teach me and help me get in touch with what power runs in my blood.

I would also like to learn more about herbs and plants, as well.

[Filtered to Evie]

I need to talk to you.

[Filtered to Durin]

So, this friend of yours. Trust him?

Hey, I need to make a request?

First Mate to Captain?

Er, okay, this is screwed up. But on the brighter side, hey! Food!

What in Evil's name just happened?

Are we ever going to get any kind of normal for this place so we have a way to know what to expect or prepare for? Or is everything going to keep us in crisis mode?

I'm going to the Hidden Cove to see if there are any bottlessupplies left there from the cache that was discovered there.

Anyone want to come with me?

First my brother and now my sister has gone home. Now someone explain to me why I should give a single shit about this place any more.

So, I'm assuming this carnival is where my crew member is now.

Currently my plan is to go in, stab anyone in my way, and get her back. Does anyone see any flaw in this plan?

[Skull Rock]

You can either stay here or come with me, it's up to you. But I'm bringing Mal back. She's one of us.

With these new creatures coming in, it seems as if now is the best time to ask if any.

My name is Evie and while my mom was very much into magic and powerful, I've never known how to -- or been allowed to -- access the magic in my blood.

I would like for that to change, but I have no clue how to even start so I would very much appreciate any help that can be offered.

Well, at least I'm not bored now. I get to stab something.

[FILTERED TO SKULL ROCK]

Be careful out there.

Or, preferable option, we don't go out there, we fortify here.

So what is the point now we are here?

[FILTERED TO SKULL ROCK PEOPLE]

I'm going exploring. If anyone wants to come with me, make sure you can keep up.

Well, shiver me timbers.

[Descendants]
I am not taking me chances with a bunch of strangers, not when I saw something I plan on claiming. Who is ready to live like a bunch of Lost Boys?

Saw something that looks like Skull Rock when I was atop that dinosaur. I need volunteers because I am going to go look.

Uma- we need to have a wee chat and I dinnae ken why this is so bloody difficult.
