Turtle & Canary; Friday [08/20[.

[white_oleander]

After radio and the few mentions of interactions between other people on the island that suggested that she was not alone in what she'd been feeling this week, Astrid finally went to the woods. And it was...not much. A glowing stone, that she touched, and the feeling, the thoughts, she'd been having repeated and pulsated in her brain and through her blood, and while that seemed like something she should be worried about, she was instead oddly comforted by it and it felt...fine. She couldn't shake the feeling that it maybe shouldn't feel fine, but it did, and that was just kind of...nice, and so she just...let herself embrace it.

She was also going to embrace a page from her boss' book and maybe borrow a pillow from the bedding section and take a nap at the counter. There was a bell above the door, after all, she was sure it would wake her if anyone came in, and, if anything, she would no doubt be stirred back into awareness by the sheer power of Apu's disapproving glare, anyway.

Blackstone Foundry and Forge; Friday [08/20].

[special_rabbit]

The only glowing stones that Amaya was dealing with that week weren't actually stones at all, but rather coal and embers from the forge as she was hard at work forcing a comparrison into a description.

However, she'd made pretty good progress on the online order she'd gotten from a customer up in Canada with some pretty unique weapons design that she had been really excited to sink her hammer into and was feeling incredibly proud of the results. Definitely a lot of potential there, she felt, especially with the winter months right around the corner.

And just wait until she got started on those pucks! There were going to be so many spikes, you guys!

The Forge is open!

Rey's warehouse- Friday

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had been around for the last time this happened, but she didn't have anyone who would have come for her. Sensing a familiar presence was kind of a shock, and one she didn't quite know what to do with. She still didn't feel anything bad, but as far as she knew Luke hadn't exactly been a big fan of hers, so she wasn't sure what to expect.

So she went to the warehouse early, and sat on a crate, waiting. She'd set another nearby just in case. She could meditate, or something, while she waited, but she knew she didn't need to. If he was here for her. he'd find her.

(Also she was too anxious to actually meditate. Details.)


[Open!]

The Woods, Friday

[endsthegame]

By morning, the stone's song had died out gently. The glow that had built and built these past few days dispersed into the undergrowth, leaving behind nothing but a gnarled old rock.

The magic it wanted to weave took time. It was a complicated thing, forcing its mental fingers into the afterlives of so many different worlds. And so it lay quiet. Working, waiting.

A thin mist rose as the sun crept downwards into the evening. From within shone a strange, pale light. As time crept by, it reshaped a part of itself itself, forming an arch, a... gateway.

The mist slid across the clearing inch by inch, and by the time the sun had disappeared behind the horizon, it had filled it entirely. From within it, shapes emerged. They had been called, and they had come.

[[ and the dead have risen! for the weekend. you can come meet your guests here, in this post, or elsewhere. this post nfb ]]

Trooper Station, Friday

[firstofitskind]

The mood at the station today could only be described as ‘anticipatory’; Liam had been around for this last time, and so he knew what was coming.

(Even if the who he’d ended up dreaming about hadn’t exactly been who he might had expected. Still, he welcomed the chance to spend more time with who the island was sending his way.)

Even the Troopers were somewhat subdued, just going about their jobs without any of the usual complaints or attempting to wheedle out of it.

The Devil's Nest, Friday Night

[texted3times]

Behold, Eric at his job two nights in a row! He was still making Tino do all the work, let's not get crazy, but he was around!

Tiny was in charge of the specials tonight, so blame him for the two-for-one Bourbon Sweet Teas.
