Warnings: Violence, probably. Maybe language.
Status: Incomplete

( Pirates? Why'd it have to be pirates? )

It's going to be a full moon tonight. Everyone who was here two weeks ago on the new moon will remember the ghost pirate ship that appeared. I have no idea what, if anything, will happen tonight on the full moon, but I think it's likely something will, and we should be prepared for, well, anything.

Maybe stick close together and be ready to fight. Just in case.

They're all gone.

This little device is a wonder!

Where am I? Yes, I know what the note said, but it made no sense.

Lan Zhan? Lan Zhan, are you here?

I fucking lost him again!

What's the fucking point in bringing people here just to send them away?

I need to hit something. Anyone else feel like sparring?

I've seen a lot of weird shit, but this is new.

Hi, I'm Clarice.

This place is beginning to feel more like a cruel prank than anything. I've lost them all over again

I'm not sure what to think about our somewhat benevolent captors sending home so many people after giving us a nice, easy day with plenty of food yesterday.

Can those of you who are still here please check in? I'm trying to keep a list of who is around and it's hard to keep up.

The following were determined not to be well suited for this endeavor and have been returned to their lives.

( only character names are listed IC )

Thank you for your continued participation.

Reunited, and it feels so good  Reunited 'cause we understood We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited

( Somehow, the idea of Susan as a Changeling made more sense than Lucy dying with her brothers )

WHO: Dean and Castiel
WHAT: Cas is finally able to find Dean in Iceland
WHERE: Iceland, where Dean was staying
WHEN: Day 16
WARNINGS: language
STATUS: complete g-doc

( Are you there, Cas? It's me, Dean Winchester )

All right, that was not pleasant, but I finally made it back with Leah.

I'm Yennefer and now that I know that my portals will let me travel, do we know how many people are missing and how many islands are involved?

I was just in Iceland and there are several people there.

Geralt, are you still here? What about Buffy?

Caspian and I have made our way back to Stroma.

Has anyone else who teleports noticed we can't go directly to where we want?

Also who is actually still here?

WHO: Stephen & Michelle
WHAT: He finds her in Iceland, ready and willing to bring some supplies back
WHERE: A random store in Iceland that she's looting
WHEN: Day 16
WARNINGS: TBD
STATUS: In progress

( What could be stranger, than to be stuck outside your cage. )

Anyone find any graphite around?

This is particularly relevant to those still on the island who can read this and also teleport or create portals in another way - Alyssa and I talked to one of the merpeople, Toriel, and she indicated that word's spread down in her neck of the sea that us land-dwellers have been seen in Iceland, Hawaii, and New Zealand. Which sounds like a series of amazing vacation destinations but given what we know about the state of the world, it probably isn't.

I'm going to open portals to try to reach those in our community who are missing. If we have a couple of us on it, we should be able to get people back in a relatively decent timeframe. Anyone else in?

America, this also means you.

I am still on the island, as is Inej.

The phones belonging to the missing individuals are still here, which I believe means that they have not been 'sent home' as they say. I hope that means they will return.

Who else is still here?

( Now, I think I was just waiting for you. )

The people from under the water seem very friendly and kind. They certainly provided us with things that we can use to make life a little easier.

I didn't have the heart to tell our merfriends I didn't need the help underwater.

I don't know about anyone else, but I kinda liked being able to breathe under water.

Who: Katharine and Kaz
What: meeting
Where: her house
When: Day 14- morning
Warnings: should be low

( ~+~+~+~ )

I don’t recall booking a trip to the apocalypse. Geralt, didn’t we prevent this already?

You know what I really miss about home?

I mean, besides home, my family, etc?

Art. I miss creating art. I mean, yes, since I create mosaics with my actual blood, I could, theoretically make some here, but still

Warnings: None For Now

( His Run )

You know, at first glance this is nicer than the last "deserted" island I was on.

For those who wish, the merfolk will gladly take survivors to their city beneath where a feast will be held in their honor. More in depth interactions can be had. (Touch base with Krista if you have a request.) A LOT can be learned.

( Because I'm a dork and didn't do this but am doing it now. )

Has anyone spoken to the creatures appearing in the water? It appears that they're trying to help us, but we won't know for sure until we make contact.

They look like the people who saved me when I got pulled overboard retrieving stuff from the ship.

So, I guess they're mostly safe? Or at least mostly safe to us?

I found a box of hooks and various other fishing supplies.

I also have my trident. I'm willing to see what I can catch in the way of fish and seafood if people think it's safe to fish here? I don't want to hook one of the merpeople.

Who: Care and Az
What: Care tells Az she’s a vamp
Where: by the beach
When: Day 11
Warnings: low
Status: g-doc


( okay, one, that was marshmallow fluff )

Survivors will find more items on the beach, but now see heads poking up from the water's surface. Interactions can be had.

( Threads and Handwaves )

The stuff on the beach is no joke. I was just out there and found all sorts of things--cutlery and dishes, a box with all sorts of fabric... if only I knew how to sew! As I was collecting up some useful items, out of the corner of my eye I saw these strange heads poking up out of the water. But when I turned back again, they were gone.

[Private to Az]
Hey. Can we talk?

It seems that when I picked out a house a poison garden appeared.

How very fortunate for myself, as I feared a lack of access to poisons.

Please do not touch or taste from my garden, for your own safety.

The shore is covered with containers which appear to have washed up overnight.

ETA: One container is filled with silverware, plates, bowls, etc. Another is full of fabric and sewing supplies.

[Has literally no idea what the hell this device is. Accidentally sends nothing but a photo of an arrow on fire and a faraway voice saying "I'm to take it I no longer have need of the Winter Rose then?"]

This is for Day 13 morning.

I'm feeling the need to get some sparring practice in. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

ETA: Any of you folk who can heal others magically interested in being available during sparring sessions just in case? It would make our doctors feel better.

( First Rule is: Don't Mention That Movie )

I keep waiting for this damn cat to disappear. Is this someone's idea of a joke? If this is the tradeoff for Gale, it's a stupid trade.

We don't even like each other.

I can't believe I've been here almost 10 full days.
