[OPEN LOG] Welcome to Cape Beryl!

Who: Everyone!
When: Spring 2nd - all day.
Where: All across Cape Beryl.
What: You've splashed down into the Harvest Goddess's sacred pond, pulled yourself out - or perhaps been pulled out by an out-of-breath and soaking stranger, shaken off the worst of the shock of the cold and the unexpected trip underwater, and likely by now noticed that the little silver piece of jewelry that put you through this seems to have found its way around your neck.

Now you ought to get your bearings. Leave Goddess Grotto whenever you're ready, take the path out along a beach and up the cliffs to a village - see where you are, maybe if you can get directions. No matter what, you're going to realize that you're somewhere new - but maybe some of the Bower Village townspeople will be willing to help you get sorted out. If nothing else, maybe you'll be drawn into talking to anyone else you might catch sight of wandering the village, disoriented, soaked to the skin, and with a silver heart-shaped pendant around their neck. Depending on how you see it, you're not all alone - not any more than everyone else, anyway.

Headers for open interactions in example locations will be posted - but by all means, start threads wherever and with whoever you like!

Rating: Expected K-PG - subject to change as appropriate.



It's a cool, early spring day - the air and the breeze may not agree with anyone with wet clothes. But apart from that, the atmosphere is pleasant and peaceful; distant chirps of birds can be heard from the mouth of Goddess Grotto to Mt. Throne. The trees and grasses are pale green and flowers are budding in the meadows - not to mention the garden at Florist Lilia and de Sainte-Coquille Park.

And the town at the top of the cliffs is somewhat drowsily at peace. It's far from deserted - stabled behind a house on the town's east side is a healthy-looking mule, and a pair of chickens and a goat hang around in a pen behind an inn, the town's brightly-dressed mailwoman is out and about, as is the town watchman, who will likely be ready to approach anyone with an unfamiliar face before they can approach him, if he happens to catch them on his rounds. However, although anyone may freely knock on any of the doors in Bower Village and expect a polite "come in", no one is prepared for company, and whoever is inside might jump at finding themselves talking to a clearly displaced stranger!

"As in outer space and astronauts and that kind of thing?"

She couldn't help turning to Jane and staring a bit at this strange story. The wet clothes and the sting of the cut in her hand felt real enough but maybe this was actually a dream. The sometimes illogical nature of dreams was one of the few ways Lily could think of to account for all this weirdness.

"Oh. Did you have a fight? I'm sorry."

She thought back to her own recent arguments with her friends, them wanting her to back off during the Malachi Zazi case and her refusal because she wanted to protect them.

"I got into a big argument with my friends a while back but we made up. I'm sure you'll have a chance too after you get back." She tried to sound reassuring even if she had little idea yet of how they were going to accomplish that.

"Somewhat! It was ... We were sucked into a game we were playing, and it made planets based on what our classes were. We were able to get from place to place with the use of transporter windows, but it was still its own little universe of sorts."

Explaining further at that stare, Jane couldn't help a sheepish sort of smile, lowering her eyes to the ground.

"Oh, uh, somewhat, it was more like a disagreement that escalated into the realm of stupid. Thank you though, it.. it's reassuring to hear that at least someone has faith."

And although she tried to stop herself, Lily couldn't help gaping a bit at this story.

"Sucked into a game? You mean something like a computer game?" she asked a tad bewildered. "How did that happen?"

As if Lily weren't already wary enough about technology, here was another reason to be! She'd always been a bit worried that some supernatural entity might take the opportunity to jump into a computer...

"Yes, exactly like that! It took a chunk of our world each time, whatever our house was around. I'm not particularly sure how it happened, but my friends Roxy and Dirk might know more. They're the ones who sent myself and Jake our copies."

At least it didn't sound like she didn't believe her.
