Save Atlantis RPG

Can someone please tell me who is I need to know who is investigating the strange goings-on. I believe myself or Sara to be affected. This morning, Sara and I noticed that whatever I was telling - small, large, serious or joking - she would do. Sara has many beautiful and alluring qualities, but her obedience is thankfully not one of them. We are not certain if it is a problem with me or with her. A volunteer could likely solve this issue.

I'm skipping training until this is resolved; it's difficult enough to write without an implied command. I doubt I would be so cautious in-person.

[ ooc - Reyes's Trouble is that whatever he says to do, whoever he is speaking to is powerless to resist doing it. ]

If a child refuses to take a nap, are they resisting a rest?

Wanna hear something really wild, come find me. My voice coming outta this face is bloody weird. I'll probably need saving from Louis soon anyway.

[Musketeers + Anne]

Happy Birthday, D'Artagnan. I've had an obstacle course built for your birthday. Somewhere in there, you'll have to get past Porthos armed with a pugil stick, dodging rubberized fire from Aramis, and solve a riddle that I have personally put together to pass the final hurdle. A gift will be waiting at the far end, should you make it.

I had expected to put in a more personal challenge, but I seem to have an issue with walking today.

[Isabela]

Any big plans for tomorrow? Or rather is it common for your friends to throw you any kind of party that I should be aware of?

I trust I'm not the only one unable to walk normally today. Well, at least I can walk, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too loudly.

I make my way back here only to have my wife leave the way I did a few weeks ago.

I don't understand how this happened.

Someone please distract me with alcohol and good news.

I take mild comfort in knowing I am not the only one left to wear nothing but this wrap of bubbles today. However, having to wear multiple layers for the sake of decency has made it rather difficult to move around comfortably. Now I must weigh the joy of popping the bubbles against the need to apologize for noises when I sit.

[Team 18]

I will need you all to train without me today, as I am unable to properly cover myself. Reinhardt, please take charge.

Boy, you should not have told that girl about hearing the bird. That was a mistake.

[ ooc; Kratos does not know how to filter. He is unbothered by this. ]

[ command + team leaders }

I wanted to check in with the status of our rescue mission. We had a few snags at the start, between a nasty storm and a bit of tricky navigating. Today, we found and were tracking a COS agent -- the bastard disappeared into a tree, which then exploded. We've got a few plans we're working through now, but it's at least a lead.

We're getting there. We'll get them back.

[ kirkwall + musketeers ]

I just checked in and saw something about comas? What in Maker's breath is going on back there?

This morning I wasn't able to wake my partner, Gabriel Reyes. He was breathing and his pulse was a little elevated but he just looked like he was in a deep sleep and wouldn't wake up. I contacted medical and he's been moved now, but is still asleep. He isn't the only one, either - I discovered Jesse McCree in the same state after he wouldn't answer text messages and medical was bringing in more when we first got here.

Check your friends, housemates and loved ones today, and please report anyone in the same condition to medical, where they will be transported and kept there for tests and monitoring. It's easy to tell you to not panic, but I won't do that - I get it. There's coffee and food here in medical for everyone visiting, along with support. Security won't tolerate aggression towards anyone here, so be on your best behavior if you want to stay, the medical professionals are doing everything they can.

[VICTOR & MITCH]

Sydney was with Jesse, and in the same state. I just gave transport the go to have them both transferred to medical. I'm sorry, I wish I had more answers for you.

Oh, wow! This is so great. I've seen a lot of snow before, but I've never been on an island, and these communications are just- this is so great.

Hi! Hello. I'm Atreus, of Midgard. My father and I are here to help! Or, at least, help as much as we can - we've been pretty good so far at being problem solvers in multiple realms. That this adds to the realms is just- wow. I never expected something like this.

Is there a blacksmith here? Or a place to make arrows? Are we allowed to explore the forests? Or the mountains?

( Delivered to Athos. )

Since I've made the decision to stay, I have a proposition: if any of you lovely individuals with an interest in swordsmanship could do me a favor to keep me fresh, I'd very much appreciate it. No need for magic - I learned in the traditional way of Grey London, for fun (so no charms, defensive spells, etc etc). I won't claim to be among the very best, but I'll give you a good workout, and I'd be happy to recompense your time with either payment in coin or goods.

Much obliged.

I really hope this is just an Atlantis thing and I didn't accidentally fuck something up, because everything I dreamed last night seems to be bleeding into Atlantis. Like, literally. Sorry if you guys hate bubbles. I can't seem to make them go away.

WICKERWOLF FAM

Um, also, there seems to be a younger version of the twins running around. Kind of like astral projections or whatever - I saw them run right through a wall like it was nothing.

PLOT: ONE CHARACTER EACH had rather vivid dreams the night before, the weirdest part some of them seem to be coming true today! Julia dreamed she was in the park making bubbles with the twins and today Atlantis is full of magical bubbles + there is an incorporeal version of Hope & El as 5 year-olds running around Atlantis today. Thanks to Andrea for the idea!

JANUARY 6

ARAMIS + PORTHOS (+ ADORABLE TODDLER)
S FOR SAPPY | COMPLETE

( Anne and I want you to have equal guardian rights, if you’re interested. )

I suppose a little change is a nice thing! I'll very much miss my former roommates. Thank you for being so kind to Louis and me!

Unrelatedly, I do encourage those of you who like sweets to visit the marzipan tent. They've done a wonderful job! It reminds me of my childhood.

[ Aramis & Porthos ]

Oh my goodness, I did not expect this! The guardianship paperwork has gone through, clearly. I hope you're both alright with us living together as a unit?

Everybody gets to have ridiculous banana and rain powers and I just get clumsy.

I broke my foot today, and I'm on "no weight on it for a week" at the moment. I heal fast, and I can get a boost from medical if I need it. SAM gave me a three-day-estimate. If anyone needs me, I'm hanging out at Reyes place until Friday. Maybe Saturday. Probably Friday though, because he keeps roping me into stupid board games and I can't punch him from my place on the sofa.

Oh! Er- Sorry, Heart 13, Goliath is nosy af and I didn't want to leave him alone since Reyes insisted I stay. If he bugs you, let me know or just tell him to shoo. (he likes bananas, I suggest stealing some from Hawke)

Porthos, you're free to just stick with the Musketeers the rest of the week.

Is anyone else hearing some weird shit in their heads today? Because damn, the one I've got is kinda fucked up. Normally I wouldn't cop to hearing voices, but I'm pretty sure this one is telling me to take over Atlantis.

Good news is I don't have these tablets of destinies or whatever those are on my person.

TEAM 3 & STEVE ROGERS:

I gotta bail on training until I'm more sure I'm not just going to create darkness everywhere.

Goodness, a second day? Aramis, I hope you're willing to keep Louis for a little longer.

Never in my life have I preened more, and I'm royal. Surely, that's indicative of something. Please don't judge me for my bird's antics.

Too much to hope this was going to be a one day thing. I can't deny that it's thrilling to see Atlantis from in-flight, but I'm not entirely sure how long I can refrain from the more natural instinct of a crow to steal eggs from the nests of other birds, and more than once I've tried to steal a ball off the golf course before catching myself.

Between cookie competitions, baking with children, children, holiday foods, gatherings, parties, more baking, stress baking and stress eating... I need to get back into shape. A shape that isn't round.



But also I may be dead from trying to run. Never again. Running is for being chased, not fun. This one isn't for me.

I can't stay awake today. If I were at home, I'd assumed I had been drugged - I can barely keep my eyes open.

Work's right out. Is it Atlantis? Is anyone else ----

[ ooc - if anyone wants to find Reyes, he's asleep against a wall of the Royal Opera House in Atlantis Village ]
