Stroma Isle - In Character Community

How the hell do you fight ghosts?!

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.

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?

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

My name is Aravis Tarkheena. I am told by a man named Michael this may help me find someone I am looking for. Michael showed me how to use this device. We have no such devices where I am from.

I am looking for a man by the name of Cor Luneson.

Cor, if you are here please answer.

Not the kind of island I usually have in mind.

[People from home]

Did you really think I'd let Tony go anywhere without me this time?

Which of my new pen pals can shed some light on the situation we now find ourselves in? The travel brochure was a little light on details.

Peter Parker, you better be making yourself available.

You've got to be freakin kidding me.

Are these feasts a common attempt to reconcile us to imprisonment?

Buffy was kind enough to get me a set of clothes- but I'm gonna need an extra pair, just in case. I hate to ask, but is anybody willing to lend me some...?

I would like to never deal with anything like that again.

I am so glad that those dogs are finally gone.

How many people were hurt?

Now that the devil dogs Hounds of Tinadalos have been dealt with, I'd like to get back to working on building an ice house, if my volunteer helpers are still up for it. I know we have a brand new freezer in the kitchen, but...I don't think we should depend on the Powers That Be any more than we must.

I suspect that if we slack off and start taking the feasts or the gifts for granted, they'll stop coming.

A bag of supplies was left with my name this morning. It appears to be items for hygiene and grooming. Does this sort of thing happen often here?

It's definitely going to be a better day. I have my Grimoire. Now at least I can be properly useful.

Anyone had a list of things they need from foraging? I'm going to do a run of the island and don't want to waste my time

Aye, Dios...

Um, hi? Never received an ominous letter and communication device upon arriving to a universe but, I've always wanted a phone and to see what the big deal was soooooooo, plus?

Can anyone direct me to where I might find this food? I assume the letter means other people from the multiverse, but I've been wrong before. Others doesn't mean ancient inhabitants, does it?

If it does that's cool. We can be friends. Why can't I leave!?!

Hey. I wanted to introduce myself. I got here a couple of days ago, but with the whole hell hound thing, I didn't get a chance to do this.

Name's John Sheppard. Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force. Got a lot of experience exploring uncharted territory and fighting the unexpected. Is there some kind of organized security force? Seems like setting up a structured watch schedule might be a good idea in case something else happens.

I GOT IT! I found it! I know how to get rid of the hounds. Everybody find some chalk or something to draw with. Go to corners and draw a curve in front of them. It blocks the corner with roundness. It'll take a while, but eventually the hounds will have less and less access, grow bored and find something else to do.

These things can go away at any time.

If anyone needs healing, I can help a little bit.

I know this isn't the ideal situation - far from it - but the views here are incredible!

Is the water toxic? Is that why they warn us to stay out? It looks so fresh.

I have a lot of other questions that can probably wait, all things considered.

I woke up with my scythe next to me. These hounds are so toast.

What a pleasant surprise. My paint brushes turned up; Now I just need to make some paint.

It seems the island can be generous. Now I have my sword. Who needs help?

this is so different from highland

has anyone seen a young girl name pilika?

she is only 8 years old

I HAVE MY BOOKS! Well some of them. Nine to be exact. I just woke up and there they were. These are so going to help! Having my notes too would be good, but this is better. Yay!

I am glad that wishing worked. I awoke to find a bow and arrows I haven't seen in years - but at least now I can better fight these foul creatures.

Uh... this isn't Bermuda.

MJ? Ned? Mr. Stark?

This is a far cry from Europe.

*Not the Europe I know, apparently.

I tripped fighting off one of those damn dogs and I...think I sprained my wrist.

They could vanish any time now.

Is there enough room in the lighthouse for two more?
