Monthly Mingle Log + Marks

[thalassino]

Though things are certainly a bit busy, Station Master has decided to go ahead with the welcoming party for the new arrivals. Partially because he had decided to take this task upon himself and he certainly wasn't going to slack, and partially because making things appear as normal was as good a cover as they had right now.

However with how much has been going on, this party is not quite as extravagant as previous ones have been. The location is near to the elevator, on the beach. A large banner hung between two trees proclaims a cheerful 'Welcome to Vatheon'. The long food tables that normally take up most of the space are missing. There simply hadn't been the capability of whipping up the sort of food they normally served. What is there however is a lot of fruit. Fresh apples and pears. Bananas. A few bowls of strawberries and pièce de résistance several large and perfectly ripe water melons. One or two have already been split, the water melons pieces set out on small plates on one big table ready for any to take. Drinks are available too. Fresh water and fruit juices. The weather might not be entirely the best for this kinda thing (though occasionally the sun seems to peek out from between the clouds!) but at least it isn't raining.

But that is not all.

In the cover of the storage building turned bubble reparation headquarters sits C. She has been contacting the people who signed up for catching the fish, asking them to start bringing them to her today so she can start working on the marks. Similarly the people who have signed up for early mark change have been invited too to drop by today or in the next few days so the first step in making sure the coral is returned to proper working conditions can be taken.



[ooc: This month the monthly mingling log is combined with the log for the fish catching + early mark changing. Also, if your character is new but you want them to learn what is going on, please leave a small ooc note on your comment and we'll send a NPC your way. The mingling log part of this post is only on the first, in the afternoon. The fish catching and mark changing parts will serve as a collective point for threads of this nature for this whole week.]

[He walks inside and sits down in front of him, a small smile appearing on his face.]

I made a promise, didn't I? I'm not one to break promises.

[thalassino]

You aren't, are you? I'll remember that. Go ahead and expose your marking for me.

[Please don't let it be on his ass please don't let it be on his ass...]

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo takes off his jacket and shirt for C to reveal his mark on the center of his chest.]

I'm a bit disappointed my mark isn't lower, but I'll deal with it.

[thalassino]

[She raises an eyebrow at him.]

Now now, this is strictly business, hmm? You might feel a little nauseous, so bear with me.

[C places both hands on his chest, on either side of the mark. It lights up like it does when a curse begins, and Angelo would feel the very disconcerting sensation of her altering his energy flow. It's almost like something is moving through his veins backwards.]

[beauchevalier]

[He does indeed begin to feel a bit nauseous as C works her magic or whatever on him. The sensation is very uncomfortable on top of that horrible feeling, but he tries to bear with it. Since he wants this to be over with already.]

[thalassino]

[Now that his mark is active she reaches for a sterile needle, carefully pricking him in a couple spots to guide her work. It's barely enough to draw blood, but she has had a couple people get upset with her about the needle. She's found it's easier to just do it than to warn people first.]

[beauchevalier]

[Being stuck with a needle was the last thing he expects, yet he still endures it. He also allows C to continue her work, even if he's trying to fight back the pain and nausea.]

[thalassino]

[Thankfully for Angelo, that's the end of it. She puts both hands on him again after that, correcting the flow and realigning him with the coral. He'd definitely feel the urge to go touch it right then, but other than that he would feel normal.]

How is that?

[beauchevalier]

[While he does want to touch the coral, he restrains and looks at C with a small smile.]

Still in some pain, but otherwise fine.

[thalassino]

That should subside if you go touch the coral. I haven't had anyone get coral sickness on me yet, but you should still take care.

[C pats him, then stands up, moving to write down his name as someone who has had their mark altered. Sure, if she keeps her mind she'll remember, but she might not!]

[beauchevalier]

[He nods and then slowly gets up from the chair, still feeling a bit sick.]

So this nausea feeling should subside if I touch the coral too then. Hopefully in due time, I should be able to.

[thalassino]

Use one of those tunics we passed out and you can still get down to touch it. It's what the others have been doing.

[She's a little concerned about what might happen to him if he doesn't, really.]

[beauchevalier]

Thanks, I'll be sure to do that. And thank you for your help, my lady.

[He gives her a small smile before making his way to the door.]

It was a pleasure seeing you.
