[ OPEN ] August 2012 Introduction Log

Characters: OPEN to new arrivals and NPCS.
Where: En route to Casualty Communal
Rating: Gen
Time: March 12 onwards
Description: Welcome to Death City!


It had been a little over a week since the sandstorm, and thus a little over a week since the last batch of newcomers. When the readings indicated that BREW was activating again so quickly, it was a bit of a scramble to get everything prepared. The last time it activated before then was early February, so this really was a small time frame. It had been some time since that happened.

But everyone dutifully prepared just in time for the first arrivals. It was also a relatively good day despite the past few rain showers. At least things were much calmer now.

[ooc: Player characters will also be joining the log. Everything after the sub thread Soul Perception is open to all characters.

...Wwell, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

[Might be a bit of awkward shifting there.]

Eridan, I do believe you might need to learn the virtue of patience...

Something else to work on while you're here.

Though, Eridan, you are not your ancestor. You were never meant to be, just like Karkat can never be me and Kanaya can never be Dolorosa. Instead of trying to be someone you clearly are not, maybe something else to reflect on is how to just simply... Be you.

But I suck.

[Not something he usually admits lightly to anyone, but there's no point in holding up defenses around this guy.]

[ just shrugs with a smile. ]

If I'm going to be frank, then where has being this ancestor of yours gotten you? True insanity is trying something over and over again, getting the same result, but not rethinking about a different approach. Why keep on trying something that is destined to not work?

[He can't deny he's got a point there, but he's really not sure what to even say to that.]

Tryin' isn't ewer good enough for me. It's hard bein' alone an' growin' up an' no one understands. I couldn't ewen keep any a my quadrants, they all left me. Thinkin' one day I could be as unforgettable as Dualscar wwas my only motiwation.

Oh I wouldn't say no one understands.

Once again, I drive the point that you are here now. The expectations that Alternia had for you are now rendered moot. Any expectations of the Game are now invalid. Becoming your ancestor is not the only feasible motivation now.

You can find something else. You now have the time.

You're six, Eridan. Who really knows that answer at such an age?
