Save Atlantis RPG

It's strange... to go back to a world where you've lived, which is both familiar and foreign..




I'm beginning to think that I should give up on trying to get a vacation. We went on an anniversary trip.. which of course got interrupted by . a mission to the world where we met. I suppose nothing is guaranteed in a place like this.

At least Atlantis was kind enough to let Jason and Helena stay through the renewal of vows that we had on the 1st.



[Edmund]

Are you alright. I heard all the teams were back.

[LUCY, REYNA, JULIE]

Oh, ladies! Quick thought. Are we all interested in the Christmas cookie exchange? I'd love to get the four of us together to do some baking for it. I do have Mum's shortbread recipe memorised and it is the pride of Finchley.

( 'So what are we looking for?' )

As a matter of course, I usually expect that I will be spared from magical anomalies. It seems that my presence is typically enough to send magical screaming for the hills. But not this time. I've missed class, your messages, and most anything for a week. And why, you ask?

It's because I was impacted -- I have, apparently, developed the ability to hide. And I can hide so well that no one has been able to see me for a full week. I've got some small handle on things and I'm going to attempt to get back into my routine.

[PEVENSIES]

Ed, I missed a message from you. Is everything quite all right?

I'll warn you now: if you see me at any point today and I'm not talking, it isn't me. It's this strange desire to ask someone to be my date for the upcoming dance. You know, I'm very old-fas It doesn't strike me as fair, so I'm doing my best to hold back. Besides, I'd rather show you I'm a bit more complicated than how I'm written. And not attending a dance seems a way to do it.

So, I'll just stay very quiet for a few more days. Except for when we go shopping of course, Julie.

All this snow makes Atlantis seem a lot more like home than it did before. We didn't usually get this much so early, but if I don't look too hard, I can still almost forget where I am for a second.

Some advice: don't try to fly in 40+ mph winds. Super not worth it.


Does anyone want to go shopping with me? I need a dress.

THORIN OAKENSHIELD:

Hey! Hi. I'm Julie. Um. I know you don't really know me, but we talked before, you'd mentioned seeing the thunder battle between the giants? Anyway, so I was thinking about this dance that's coming up? Are you going with anyone?

Is anyone aware of a child mentoring program in Atlantis? An orphanage that could use volunteers? Before I was here, I actually had joined a monastery (please feel free to laugh now) , and my primary job there was caring for the children - something similar here would be nice. I make a much better nanny and nurse than teacher.

[FILTERED TO PORTHOS]

It occurred to me that I have not been nearly as romantic as I usually am and I am utterly ashamed. Porthos, would you care to join me for dinner this evening, at Cinders?

I wanted to thank all of you for your kindness in my introductory post, as well as the kindness shown to me in the days since. It isn't easy for me to take fantastic things on faith and you, as well as where we live, are all quite fantastic. I am lucky that my siblings have faith enough for me and those of you who conversed were quite patient with my pseudo-philosophical questions.

The longer I have been here, however, the longer I understand that it is all too real to be make-believe. And I do not want to waste any more time when, it seems, I have been chosen to support a goal. So, in case you were wondering, I will tell you a bit more about myself:

My name is Susan Pevensie. Edmund and Peter are my brothers, the poor things. But where I'm from, I'm getting ready to read Literature at Oxford. I love William Blake and Spenser. In fact, a copy of The Faerie Queene came with me from home. I've been to one of Mrs. Woolf's talks at school and I feel very strongly that we may find some equity amongst the sexes in my lifetime. I want to be a Professor and I want to write about moments of artistic or religious ecstasy.

And yes, Narnia is r This is not my first time hopping world to world, either. I spent many years as one of four rulers of a land called Narnia. I'm no longer a Friend of N We had Talking Animals, Dwarves, Fauns, Satyrs, Tree Spirits and other such subjects that we loved very dearly. It was a wardrobe (that was in a house, in the English countryside) that we traveled through. A wardrobe made from two trees from a sacred grove. A wood between worlds. I also met Father Christmas and he gifted me with a bow and a quiver full of arrows. The bow rarely misses. And I think it may be magic, not me. There's a horn somewhere, too. And it will bring aide to whoever blows it - but the horn has been in the hands of others for ever so long.

All of this to say, hello. You and I are very real. I am at University continuing my study of Literature and I would like to get to know more about all of you. Mightn't you share with me your name and something you love about our new home? I would very much like to hear it.

[PETER, REYNA, EDMUND]

Can we get supper together tonight?

Train stations are strange places. Liminal spaces, I guess. They are only for waiting and never for staying. I've loathed them so well through my life that at one point, I thought to never again take a train. I'd rather fly or go in a car. I was just at a train station. I picked up a coin and, I suppose, I fell or blacked out because I'm here now but I know it cannot be.

I was just in England. I was in England in 1949, in fact. And Atlantis is a land made entirely of fiction, ergo I must be dreaming. This technology is likewise years ahead of what I know. We have computing machines at University that take up whole rooms. And to my knowledge, there's only one. Not hundreds. So, I hope that some kind soul has seen fit to put a sheet over me or drag me out of the road until I wake up.

In the meantime, I shall say hello to you. All of you figments of my imagination. I hope you are doing quite well.

[PETER, EDMUND]

Enough with the unsolicited food. It solves nothing and I keep throwing it away.

[Link and Merlin]

I don't know if I can do this. If I can stay here.

There are times I feel a bit lonely here. Is that okay to admit? Or do I sound a bit too much like I'm pleading?

Regardless, I'd like to get to know more people and perhaps go have some fun. I know I rather like coffee now, and your beer here is rather interesting in its creation.

Atlantis is constantly surprising me. Impressive how the housing adapts to thing.. Is it sentient? Or are we just being watched?

Regardless, the gift basket and the change in roommates was a nice touch, Atlantis.

[Friends of Reyna & Edmund Pevensie] (feel free to assume)

In case we didn't get a chance to tell you last night at the party (things got a bit crazy), Edmund and I are engaged again.

[Edmund Pevensie]

I suppose we should thank atlantis for changing the rooms on us. Though it'll be harder in some ways

I rather enjoyed the music today. It improved my walk to work, but I'm glad to be back at the Tower with no need to go out again. Suggestions for whiling away the evening?

[Friends + Family]

My arm is officially healed enough for sparring, and I'm ready to get back into practice. Anyone care to help me?

[Reyna Ramirez-Arellano + Nico di Angelo]

I've had my fill of March snowstorms.

[Nico di Angelo]

Reyna's birthday is in two weeks, and we're not under siege this year. I think we should celebrate.

Well I'm not one to say no to new clothing I don't have to pay for. Did everyone receive something today?

I have returned from my mission with my other team. I look forward to healing up and getting back to more coffee, and seeing some friends.

[Filtered to Team 10]

I apologize for getting separated and injured, I became a liability and I intend to work extra hard for our next mission in order to prepare myself properly to be a better assistant in the future.
