EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA

[ironwood]

Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

The name. Frank.

"Do you mean the tall boy with dark hair who suddenly had muscles one day?"

[sophos]

She perks up a little. She remembers being surprised by the transformation herself too. "Frank Zhang. You know him, I take it?"

[unetrustworthy]

"I do. We're..." Friends was a precious word for her, and one that she had ever used with few individuals. Allies also sounded wrong. "...we talk sometimes. About different things.

"He told me about his father. A little."

don't mention it

[wrathfulkhan]

[Tony, the proper etiquette for this is to invite him to sleep over. Clearly.]

Yeah, uh. Thanks for the hot chocolate. See you later, I guess, [Gene mumbles, and makes for the door. He's not sure what he'd been expecting from this, but this is awkward now and he's not here for it. He just wants to go back to his suite and sleep until this whole thing has blown over.

Tony's got time enough to say one more thing, if he wants.]

[highprofilerichkid]

Sure. Um. See you around.

[He has a weird urge to ask if Gene wants to crash here, but that's stupid. It's not like he has a long walk home or anything: he can teleport. Anyway, Gene never took him up on that offer in high school, so Tony can't see why he would now. Since they're kind-of-enemies now, instead of kind-of-dating.

...Not that he'd be suggesting it for the same reasons, of course. Obviously a sleepover would have had very different connotations in high school, when he'd still had a huge crush on Gene and hadn't known that he was a freakin' supervillain. Now it would just be, like, you know, letting him nap on the couch for a couple hours instead of making him walk home in the middle of the night - er, morning - after an intense and exhausting argument. Which he doesn't have to do anyway. Because he can teleport. So, kind of pointless, really.

...Oh my god, why is he still thinking about this? Clearly the sleep deprivation has addled his brain. Shut up, brain.

He manages to keep himself from blurting out anything idiotic, and shuffles awkwardly after Gene, following him to the foyer to see him off.]

[wrathfulkhan]

[Gene looks like he's going to say something else, pausing at the doorframe - but then he seems to think better of it, and, with a wave, he leaves.

Walking.

The whole way back.]

Solomon laughed. "I haven't the faintest idea. The first one was a forest full of giant, luminescent and magical mushrooms--though I didn't try to eat any, I assure you." He threw an amused glance at her. "That's the purpose of going through them, after all. Don't worry. I'll make sure you don't die."

It was said flippantly, but it was true--Solomon stretched his students' talents, but he never threw them in the deep-end without a lifeguard present. But he wasn't going to give Hayley the chance to back out; so with one last indulgent smile he strolled toward the gateway. "I'll see you on the other side, shall I?"

[peacefullywreathed]

"I see," said Solomon thoughtfully. By instinct and emotion rather than logic, then. Solomon would need to reconsider how he was going to teach Frank, in that case. "I believe we should leave the chess match for another day, then. I'll have to reconsider your strategy."

Chess might not even be the best way to teach Frank, if that was so. That was fine. There were always alternatives.

[everylittlegirl]

For some reason she never quite understood, Hayley took a strange sense of delight and proud in making Solomon laugh. She supposed it was a result of their first meeting and how little he seemed amused in a general capacity, but it was difficult to tell whether that was true or the bias of limited observation. Whatever the case, making him smile often made her smile in turn.

"My hero," she teased, responding to his underlying honesty with an unspoken gratitude just before he moved through the portal. Then she had no choice but to follow and so she did, with relative ease all things considered, striding through and emerging on the other side to stand beside him not unlike they were a moment before. Only, this time, their surroundings were far more intriguing - and intimidating - than the ruins of the town.

[sophos]

Annabeth recognizes the uncertainty over word choice and waits patiently for Midii to decide.

A grin plays on her lips. "What about him, exactly?"

...there are a variety of ways a conversation like that could have gone, okay? The whole god thing included.

[unetrustworthy]

"We were talking in front of some sort of...shrine, I guess?" Her familiarity with religion started and stopped at Christianity. His own rituals were about as foreign to her as Keelai had once been. "He was explaining how he was giving him some kind of offering, even though he wasn't here."
