[EVENT | 4TH WALL] FIX IT FORTUITY | Feb 18-Mar 11

Characters: Everyone and anyone, including our visitors
Date: Feb 18, 2018-March 11, 2018
Location: This log can be used for anywhere to do with the fourth-wall event.
Situation: Many and various. There are a few starters in the comments below, or create your own!
Warnings/Rating: Please add warnings in subject headers as needed.


This year there's no sudden explosion to mark the influx of people. The weather is still faintly snowy, crisp and chill, and though there are days when the sun breaks through the clouds it doesn't do much to make things genuinely warmer.

Much like light slipping between the clouds, other Foreigners start slipping into the city, here and there. By this time the kedan and the anchored Foreigners know more than well enough what a Foreigner with no soul gem means, and by the time the third drifter has shown up it's considered sign enough for enthusiastic miniature pop-up markets to spring up where the snow is melting away, much like flowers.

Cheerful, profit-seeking flowers.

All the same, with the recent collaborations between Foreigners and kedan, the kedan are much more willing to look kindly on the newcomers-- at least so long as they don't cause too much trouble.

There's some speculation about what might be causing it -- the phenomenon comes earlier than it has before, not quite into spring yet -- but once objects start appearing and disappearing, it's safe to say the Dreaming can be blamed. As unpredictable as the Dreaming can be, this makes more than a few people relax-- at least it's a known unpredictability. The items that vanish are always of personal value, regardless of monetary worth, and they usually reappear later. And some items simply appear. Whether or not they'll stay forever remains to be seen, but it's always things with some emotional attachment, often which were on the mind or in conversation recently.

And often, the feeling of being watched, or that you've seen this thing before, no matter if it's impossible.

Mitsunari Ishida | Sengoku Basara

He will be taking a guide, certainly - and discarding it the moment he sees there isn't any description of how to leave this town or whatever this place is.

And so, the next time any kedan tries to sell him anything, he glares at them and says, "Give me a real map. Immediately!"
ten_zero: (skeptical)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2017-02-22 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"A real map of what?"

Bisi is immediately annoyed by the strange man's tone. That kind of outrage has no place, in her view.
upadly_aniol: ("counting on you")

late due to Very important IRL events

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-02 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
He grits his teeth. But didn't he once, so long ago... hear that sometimes one must be patient to achieve their goals?

Even so...

Alright. he will try.

"You. Have you ever heard of the Land of the Rising Sun?"
Edited 2017-03-02 01:12 (UTC)
ten_zero: (empathizing)

No worries!

[personal profile] ten_zero 2017-03-02 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
She shook her head.

"I haven't ever met someone in this place with a world like mine. We likely won't have any shared reference points besides maybe math or scientific principles and even that isn't certain."
upadly_aniol: (pic#10334003)

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-04 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
What'd he care about science in a situation like this?

"A world?"
ten_zero: (neutral)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2017-03-04 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"A shorthand, for 'universe' or perhaps 'dimension.' Most people have never left their home planet, although my known 'world' is actually a solar system and a few other more distant areas traversable by solar rail.

"Alternate realities were largely theoretical, and I'm not convinced this place actually counts. The emphasis on the 'dreaming' and 'life' plains... makes me think it follows entirely different rules."
upadly_aniol: (pic#10333798)

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-06 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"What are you talking about? Speak plainly!"

Alternate relaities? Solar system? He doesn't have time right now for some strange cryptic phrases, what's that even supposed to mean...
ten_zero: (empathizing)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2017-03-07 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm speaking as plainly as I know how to... but it would take a long time to make you understand all the underlying concepts at work here."
upadly_aniol: (neutral)

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-07 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
"If you can't explain quickly, I have no use for this."

Turns away, deciding to find some other help. Surely this person's useless, only speaking in some riddles.
ten_zero: (skeptical)

"When you stop being an idiot, you can find me on the network," Bisi called after him. "From your device. My name is Bisi."

She suspected most other people would have less patience with his attitude.
upadly_aniol: (pic#10428078)

wow she's patient :D

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-07 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
He probably won't remember her name (nothing personal here, she's just not important), but he might ask somebody later what the device or network is, at least.
purered: (Bitch you ain't Gilbert)

Well, that was quite the outburst. It seemed like it was best to intervene before a fight broke out.

"I am sure the Welcome Center will be able to provide you with all the necessary information. I take it you're a new arrival to Keeliai?"
upadly_aniol: (in tricolour)

Late because if very important RL curcumstances

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
" If Kii Lial is the name if this town; then yes, indeed. And I have no wish to be welcomed."
purered: (Ever Forward)

no worries!

[personal profile] purered 2017-03-02 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"It is Keeliai, actually," Klaus explained. "Situated on the back of Tu Vishan. Are you certain you would not like to go to the Welcome Center? They do a packet."
upadly_aniol: (neutral)

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-02 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
"A packet of what, exactly?"

He's too much in a hurry not to think straightforwardly.
purered: (But of course)

[personal profile] purered 2017-03-02 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Information."

Well, he'd have to break it to him sooner or later.

"You're in another world, you see."
upadly_aniol: (pic#10334003)

[personal profile] upadly_aniol 2017-03-02 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
That again?

"In some lower hell, from what I've been hearing. But I don't quite believe all of you here yet."
