All bubbles pop eventually

Yesterday was a day of celebration. For once, it seemed that the foreigners were able to affect the coral, and in a positive way at that. The coral lit back up, the barrier strengthened, and everything looked like it was back to normal again.

Unfortunately, it doesn't last.

Overnight the coral begins to dim again, flickering wildly along with the bubble itself. Those who stayed up on the island might notice the strange lights coming up through the waves if they're awake. The ones who stayed in the bubble will notice more than that. The atmosphere is tense, and every now and then there's an echoing crack, like a massive piece of glass is slowly losing its integrity.

By the time the morning arrives, the crack in the bubble is evident. After hours of threatening it, the crack finally falls open with a thundering snap, allowing the ocean to rush in. It hasn't yet given up entirely, but there's a steady stream of water pouring in to the plaza and on to the coral. The waterfall would be a pretty sight if not for the situation.

Hopefully no one stayed down there that long.



((OOC: The bubble has cracked! Feel free to use this post as a mingle log if desired. The elevator is still functioning, so anyone down in the bubble will have some time to escape.))

There does seem to be a good amount of people who are used to rough conditions here... We might be better off than I thought.

Regardless, is there anything you think we might need on the island?

...not that I'm much of a green thumb, but I don't think it'd hurt to be growing some of our own food. Are those supplies on your list?

Yes, as a matter of fact! After I'm done with my business in this store, I plan on quickly grabbing some plants and seeds from the store which sells vegetation.

I believe Zelda has also started a garden on the island, but you would have to speak with her more for that.

All right.

Just be careful then.

I will. An associate of mine, Miss Washu, has helped set up quick teleporting routes to doorways near the elevator. That should make things quicker.
