Kintsugi: The Breakening! (ooc Chat thread)

okay, cool.
because I'd be really, really upset if my long-time fluffy companion died a tragic death of drowning. even in an RP.
I am totally not crying just thinking about it, though. that's definitely not happening right now.

 

Re: Air everywqhere, I would prefer some airless shards just to have some obstacle? Also shards of actual moon.

 

don't worry. i will protect your fluffy friend with my life
(everyone bring pups I'm so pup deprived over here)

 

good
doing so will earn you my undying loyalty
(yesssssssssssssss ALL THE PUPS!!!)

 

Basically if y'all wanna find me I'll be raiding pharmacy shards with me and my cats all wearing little fishbowl helmets for any airless pockets. I think I'll probs stick with my axes and slingshot insofar as weaponry goes - Tiger can flush out rabbits and grouse for me to shoot, but she wouldn't much worry anything bigger.

Look for a suspicious british punk dude with purple hair and a very large backpack and what looks like a tall shepherd's crook. (I need a walking stick and the hook is useful for retrieve objects in crumbling places.) Also two cats on harnesses XD

(The amount of pupper is starting to make me worry for my girls, though. Lupin's not good with strange animals who are being overly friendly and might be bigger than her.)

 

Alix and I will just be floating on my half a house shard with Hannah on a leash. we may occasionally raid other shards if we suspect they have useful things. sooner or later we'll bump into the Kintsugi shard.

 

There are special arrows for decapitating turkeys, actually.

 

hugs the Eevee

 

ooooh, nice. I need some of those.

hugs Alix
also hugs my dog
pulls my dog close to me and squishes her gently

 

Spoiler: Have another

?????: 2...1… Are the panels oriented correctly?

[Murmurs from farther away.]

?????: Great. So anyone with a radio can tune here. Ehm...hello again. It’s...I never said my name during that EAN, did I? It doesn’t really matter, but it’s Marcus. I’m the head of what was the FCC on Earth. *Brief pause.* So I know that at least some people survived the event. I can see them on the shards around me. And there were a couple people on mine as well. So don’t give up hope! There are still people out there! These shards are bigger than you think. It’s safe to go outside, at least where I am. If you’re near any kind of hazard, like a nuclear plant, maybe don’t. If you don’t, then go try to figure out where yours ends. This one consists of the White House, the garden, and roughly a kilometer around it in a circle. So we have food, some water, and some nutjob’s--

[A sharp thwack is heard.]

Marcus: *off to the side* Ow, that hurt! I-I mean a, um very nice doomsday prepper came to help us. He had some seeds and a water purifier. How convenient! If you didn’t prepare for the end of the world, like most regular people wouldn’t--

[Another thwack.]

Marcus: *to side* Dude, stop it or I’ll revoke your broadca--ehh...never mind. If you didn’t prepare for the apocalypse, try to conserve water as much as possible. We don’t know where the oceans are right now, but anyone who lives near fresh water should try to connect with those who do not as soon as possible, to ensure as many people live as possible.

[A brief silence, apart from the rumbling of the backup generator.]

Marcus: *quietly* My back hurts a lot. It’s like --

[The sound of tearing cloth and a yelp from Marcus is audible. A smash, possibly from a light, can also be heard.]

Marcus: *whispering* Holy shit.

wait
wait
WAIT
WHY THE BACK HURTING TELL ME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME I NEED TO KNOWWWWWWWWW

 

Class now ;)

 

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
waits impatiently for you to return

 

You monster. I love you.

 

Nah it's a really good song, sorry if I sounded negative :P literally the only part about that being annoying is that it'll be stuck in my head for a day or more.
I just never noticed that it's by like... a known band and not just "A Theme Song" :P

this is so goooooooood
(Also I want a useless mutation that just gives my pointy ears and some scale-y natural armor on my joints. like it's p much useless except for helping stabilize my useless ass's joints a little against impact injuries.)

 

Writing it now. Stand by

 

Spoiler: AND ANOTHER

[Audio transcript from STATION:<ERROR 503: Maintenance>]

Marcus: Hi...Hi everyone.

[He is breathing heavily. Beeping can be heard.]

Marcus: *to side* Can you hand me the sheet?

[Papers rustle]

Marcus: So here’s something interesting. Whatever force pushed us out here did it with quite some force. Some of them are only around a thousand kilometers above the surface, but apparently the one I’m on is nearly 20 thousand. Meaning that most of the shards that I can see are currently inside the Van Allen radiation belt.

[A brief pause; some papers rustle.]

Marcus: Meaning that every second, every shard is being bombarded with...a very scary amount of radiation. Normally, we would all be dead from this. But for some reason, we aren’t. But our DNA is still being rewritten by this radiation. Mutation, if you will. And I found this out because…

[A ruffling noise, like feathers, can be heard. Marcus breathes in sharply, like he’s stifling a squeal.]

Marcus: It gave me wings.

[Several seconds of silence follow.]

Marcus: Now, this shard is quite close to the center of the belt, where the ionizing radiation is the strongest. It probably won’t give most of you wings. But there will be changes. Whatever is holding the atmospheres on the shards is also protecting us from the lethal radiation, and I think that this might just mark not the end of us, but the beginning of something new.

[Brief pause.]

Marcus: This is radio High Flyer, signing off. And remember: even if these changes make you different from your neighbor, we’re all human beings. Be kind. Share. Let’s build a community out here among the stars.

This is to explain powers and such

 

Whereas I'm just a grumpy nerd who can understand animals and hears the songs of trees. (Please nobody mow their lawn around me. The smell-sound of grass massacre might make me pass out a little.)

Other animals are easier to translate, because mostly they have the same communication methods as humans. Plants talk with chemicals and scent trails, so it's more like a smell-to-psychic mindthought synesthesia? (Synestreesia? XDD)
