[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!

no subject
He was tempted to just dash off while she was gone, run away and clear his head somewhere else, but managed to restrain himself. Knowing where he was would be...something. Maybe nothing good, but something better than not knowing at all. And maybe he could trust the people who actually lived here, where he wasn't sure he could trust Lily.
And I guess it might be good to wrap up around here?
But even after twenty minutes, she only wound up with more questions and little notion of just where the heck this Cape Beryl and Bower Village were. The mayor seemed nice enough but didn't seem to have any idea where California was, much less San Francisco.
Grumbling about ambiguous maps, she stepped back outside.
Yeppers!
...well, that tore it. Time to stop skulking around and trying to make sense of puzzles that were beyond him, and time to start hurling himself at the problem until he broke it down. Not exactly the healthiest of ideas, but Zed wasn't in the healthiest of places right now. And if he was nothing else, he was resilient.
Without another word to the witch, Zed turned his miserable crouch into a spring that took him clear to the roof of the town hall. From there, it was just a matter of leaping from rooftop to rooftop to take him out of the village.
He'd get back home if it killed him.
