vatheon | Monthly Mingle Log + Marks

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.]

[The other half is exciting too!]

Really? So where are you from, that there aren't any humans around?

[ He hasn't had a chance to react to the other half yet! ]

I am from the Land of Ooo, Percy the Quasi-Human. There is only one human that I've ever met and other than her, I always believed them to be extinct.

The land of Ooo. Very creative. [Sarcasm!]

I actually prefer it the other way. We go by "demigod", rather than half human.

I'd suggest talking to the ones who named it but they're long dead! [ Chuckles warmly. ]

Oooooooh, does that mean your other half is god?

[ A GOD?? Gumball is man of SCIENCE!!!! Though, magic and god-like stuff actually exists so he can have BOTH and be happy, huzzah! ]

Yeah. My dad, Poseidon, is the god of the sea. [No big deal.]

[ No big deal indeed. ]

Sounds fascinating. Being made of god is a lot more interesting than being made of candy. Perhaps your father can help us out in returning home?

[Percy sighs.]

I haven't spoken to him in months. I've tried to reach out to him, but either he can't hear me or he's still ignoring me.

How do you typically communicate with your father? Have you tried a different method?

Usually I just have to call for him really insistently with my mind. But it's not working. I even tried doing it underwater, in his realm, but nothing there either.

[ Gumball thinks for a moment. Not his usual mode of communication but it does give him a BIT of an idea. ]

Then the insistent frequency in his area must not be very strong. What we need is an insistence amplifier to help send out stronger signals.

[ He lacks a pad of paper and a pen for note-taking but he's writing it all down IN HIS HEAD. ]

First we'll need to find out what kind of waves this gives off so I know what I'm working with! You say he's the god of the sea so it shouldn't take too long to figure the waves out!

[Percy just stares at him for a moment.]

Dude, are you for real?

Don't get excited yet. I haven't even started.

I don't really know that this is something you can measure. [At least he'd never thought about it before.] I think most people would call it "praying".

Most of the time I figure he hears me, but he's just not saying anything back. But usually when I'm in trouble he'll at least send a naiad or a hippocampi or something to help me out.

Hm. All right. So we're dealing with a big butt?

Scratch the plan.

[ Hm......... ]

A big butt? What?

Have you never heard that term before?

Are you talking about the fact that my dad is kind of a jerk?

I've never met him but perhaps?

Oh I've only met hin a few times myself. And not until I was twelve.

[Percy looks a little uncomfortable.]

He's pretty busy.

The situation is kind of dire right now.

You know, there are two options, and I'm not really sure which is worse. Either he's not answering me because he doesn't think I'm in danger, or because he can't hear me.

[He lowers his voice.]

I can't orient myself in the water. I can usually tell where I am, how deep the water is, that sort of thing. But I can't tell where the ocean ends in any direction. I don't know what that means.

Hm, not at all?

And usually that's within your powers and abilities?

[ Hmmmmmm... ]

Not at all. It's just dark after a few miles.

[He shivers.]

It didn't feel right. If I have a boat I can usually tell exactly where on Earth I am, exactly, but I have a feeling it wouldn't work here either.

That does not bode well.

When your wormhole plan is looking like the most realistic plan, that can't be a good sign.

Wait, what wormhole plan?
