searching [OOC] The Æther Project

@Props Valroa

I'm going to need to know if Power is successful in his efforts to recreate the matter he was told about. Essentially, is it something that can be made with the resources available on the Project, and was the information he was given correct?

If he is able to create it, what exactly can it be used for in the context of the Project?

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Props Valroa

Being useful for mana storage, you also mentioned that this matter draws energy extra-dimensionally. Could Power use this matter to bolster his own casting potential? Essentially using is as a supplemental generator to the mana he produces on his own?

@Illiad Easle

Have you forgotten the thread by any chance mate?

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Blitz Boom

No I haven't, I was waiting for Strawberry to post but I don't think that is going to happen.

@Props Valroa @Blitz Boom

That being said, I don't really know where this story should go, since the traders indicated that they shouldn't really go exploring, and given they know this is not their world exploring wouldn't be useful anyway, I don't think that Amber is going to allow anyone to leave the shield and will more than likely just call off the mission to save on resources. Then everyone is just back on the Æther for the rest of the month and I don't think that will be much fun for either of you.

The question then is, what should we do?

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

@StrawberryMilk Simp might not have realized. Hopefully the mentions gets something going.

@Illiad Easle @Props Valroa

I mean, you are assuming everything goes well, and nothing disastrous occurs. Could be the camp got overrun, or some of the mantid creatures were less sincere about things than we assume. It's Prop's world, so they might have nefarious plans for what happens in it. For all we know, some of the creatures the manetid things warned about, is gonna show up and kidnap some folks.

It could also just go back on The Æther, then time skip to when the month have passed, and they land, so that things can be set for the world once left behind. Must be a right mess, judging by how you've mentioned it a few other times.

@StrawberryMilk Simp @Illiad Easle @Props Valroa

I always think about *What afterwards?*. That's why I set up things with their stories, with all of mine having something to do, after The Æther is technically done with it's semi-exile.

Blitz is a family mare now, and will stay to help the scientific team, along with her husband. She will want to meet her brother again though, and I have thought of how that'd go. Mostly by her asking those going out to give him a message, in case they ran into him. Though if there were a set place The Æther were likely to land, he'd wait there, on the date that the time had passed.

Briar and the few other Evergrown saved, will go on what amounts to a holy journey for them. They will wander with the potentially last remaining seed of their trees, and find a place to plant it. Someplace not infested by antimagic, so the seed can do it's magic, and sprout the tree they need, as well as flourish a large area around it, into a place with vegetation. Though what kind? Depends on where it were from, so could be anything from pine, to jungle. But it will adapt to the area.

Any living creature of higher sentience in the area though, would end up getting transformed into an Evergrown too. It is part of the abundant magic of it, and why it is not a thing they take lightly, to plant. They would want an area close enough to where they could still be near others, to help with vegetation, and have a working relationship with other races in general, but not close to any settlement, for safety reasons. Individuals would ideally be found and asked to be out of range, until things were done. Think a radius of 10km around the central point, in all directions roughly. Potentially more, but I figure going for one of the smaller *growth spouts* might be better, than the original, that had a large desert covered in jungle. That was the first seed though, and far more potent.

I have written Briar for long as being open about things, so he would have told the leadership of The Æther of this a long time ago, so they knew what to expect. The seed is basically a collaboration of powerful chaos and nature magic, so it goes hard. So that's what they'd do, and then there'd be things they would then have to do, and could help with, after that. Regular wood and such could be harvested for lumber and such, for instance. Fruit grown could be eaten, fertile ground spawned be shared for cultivating greens, etc.

Brittle would be set to go out into the world, and look for some of the survivor's enclaves. She'd start wherever she'd be told survivors from Las Pegasus might have gone, seeking a good hive, and her place in the world. Etc. There are things to do, but I always think forth.

@Props Valroa @Blitz Boom @StrawberryMilk Simp

So do we want to just jump forward then? Or just bring everyone back onto the Æther for a bit to resolve remaining plot threads before moving into the final section?

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

@Illiad Easle @Props Valroa @StrawberryMilk Simp

We would need to end this chapter eventually, so if there's nothing to do with the other dimension, they could return and wrap up things before looking ahead.

I'm assuming Light would be put into isolation for a bit, so I'll have those I want to meet him, be around the docking bay when they return. It'll speed things along from my end if it is.

[Evil Pink One 13,505]

Light can always send everyone to limbo... Just a suggestion 😜...

Or probably return them to their rightful reality?.... Or fight off avarice? Is discord finally killed though?

Uuu the war of the draconicous...

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Blitz Boom @Props Valroa @StrawberryMilk Simp

I would prefer to play out the return to the project rather than glossing over it. I think there's some good interactions to be had between the younger characters' disappointment or relief in the mission being cut short and the older characters' experience in the matter.

I'll set up the return in my next post.

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

@StrawberryMilk Simp @Illiad Easle @Props Valroa

No issues from me. Beam us up, Scotty.

[Evil Pink One 13,505]

Game on my side too....

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

So is the plan to just wait for the next post then, that puts us back on the ship?

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Blitz Boom @Props Valroa @StrawberryMilk Simp

I'll be posting later today, setting the course back to the ship so we can play that out. I have a few characters who will be disappointed, and I think that will be a good scene before we jump to the next section.

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Props Valroa @StrawberryMilk Simp @Blitz Boom

Let me know if I missed something, the next post is up!

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

@Evil Pink One

Mate, I think we're waiting for you again.

[Evil Pink One 13,505]

@Blitz Boom

What its @Catpone Cerberusturn....

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Evil Pink One

Catpone isn't in this RP, or if they are, they haven't been active in a very long time.

[Evil Pink One 13,505]

Catpone was never in this RP. We had other people at one point, but they eventually dropped off over a year ago.

I said i was sorry

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

@Props Valroa @Illiad Easle

@Evil Pink One is potentially confusing this thread with mine, where there is a sub-thread with him, myself, and Catpone. Just for context.

[Evil Pink One 13,505]

Seriously i didnt know everyone was waiting for me.... I was actually waiting for you guys ......

Damn nov25.... Im so sorrythats 2 weeks lost of potential role play ....

The pink one has commenced the story yes.

[Illiad Easle 3,123]

@Evil Pink One @Blitz Boom @Props Valroa

Hmmm.... Looking at all the categories, it doesn't look like I really have anywhere to input at the moment.

@Blitz Boom forgot to respond to the Brittle prompt, so I don't have anything there to say.

 

I realize that the Plein/Brittle pairing is the only thing really keeping them from just all going back up immediately. Do we just want to bring everyone up immediately and just move on?

@Props Valroa I need some more detail on the stuff that Power synthesized. Given what you said before it should act just as a source of energy, right? It shouldn't otherwise affect magic cast on it, but rather one can draw energy from it to cast spells?

[Blitz Boom 4,612]

@Props Valroa @Illiad Easle @Evil Pink One

No, I didn't forget the Blitz part. It's under my last section of my last reply, titled (Lab). Nor did I forget a reply to Brittle, as Light and her, have not interacted. I checked. Only one of my chars he have interacted with, is Last.

Feel free to point me at it if I missed it though. I just can't see anything I did miss currently.

As for moving things up, I do believe we can do a small skip to when everyone's getting back up if it is, the next day. Seems like most chars are staying until the day after regardless.

I didn't say you missed the Blitz part, I said you missed the Brittle part.
