♈ Aradia: Cut the ribbon. [open/journal/action!]

[psych0p0mps]

[You know... Aradia's friends are right. She can't mope about the past forever, and all the new historical information has pinged her inner archaeologist (which, incidentally, is also her outer archaeologist) so brightly that she can't help feeling a little excited. And more like herself again, even if she feels a tiny bit guilty about feeling better. Feels are complicated.

Thus, she has drawn a colorful crayon sign into the journal, and hung up copies of it all over the castle probably right next to Nepeta's flyers:]


[And true to her word, there is a party going on at the outpost! Drop on in, why don't ya?]

JOURNAL REPLIES / AROUND THE CASTLE

[psych0p0mps]

[Geez, that sign takes up the whole page. Or is right on your door or something.]

TRANSPORTALIZERS

[psych0p0mps]

[Well here's the transportalizer pad, just like she said! But for some reason you're reluctant to go through maybe? Or someone else is? COME ON, SHE SAID IT'S SAFE, GOG.]

OUTPOST - COMMON ROOM

[psych0p0mps]

[The common room of the west outpost is the biggest room in it, with a two-story ceiling and large, twelve-pane windows set in the wall. It's well lit but sparsely furnished (as of yet), and the walls are made of unpainted concrete bricks, but colorful streamers and balloons have been hung up all over the place, and various party games are set up.

There are also arrows pointing to the stairs and elevator, labeled "the food is this way".]

OUTPOST - THE DOME

[psych0p0mps]

[Following the arrows will lead you to the stairs/elevator, past the second floor and to what you'd think would be the roof. Instead, though, the top floor is taken up by a large geodesic dome made of glass, providing a lovely view of the sky above and the forest to the west, although the view east is limited by the hill and watchtower being in the way.

In the center of the room are tables with brightly colored tablecloths, a few refreshments (with plenty of room for more! the sign did say to bring food), and some wildflowers in glasses of water.]

OUTPOST - AROUND

[psych0p0mps]

[Getting the grand tour? Investigating the ... occasionally flickering lights? Wandering off or outside? There's not a lot to see yet, but the place does have working restrooms, for what it matters.]

LASTLOOK SIGNUPS

[psych0p0mps]

[On the DOME LEVEL, there's a table with another colorful sign to the effect of "apply for lastlook here!"

Aradia will be manning this table on and off, but if she's not available and/or you don't want to thread stuff out, your character can just write their name down on a list to signal their interest.]

[ruin_mania]

[Raine's spent some time wandering around the rebuilt outpost, but of course it's necessary she sign up. So it won't be too long before she's headed up to this level.]

Ah, good afternoon. This is where we'll be signing up for the next expedition, hmm?

[midget]

[ Just... giving this such a dirty look. ]

I thought these were supposed to be secure. [ She doesn't worry about it being safe. ]

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia adopts a professional pose, folding her hands on the table.] Yes indeed!

[Raine maaay notice impressions on the paper where her name was already penciled in and then quickly erased......... I MEAN WHAT NO SHE WOULD NEVER ASSUME LIKE THAT.]

[ruin_mania]

[NO NEVER well it's a fair assumption anyway, and Raine finds herself writing her name over the one that had been erased.]

Remind me when you plan on leaving, would you?

[psych0p0mps]

[Appearifies on the pad just in time to hear...?]

Well, the door has a lock. [That she has ... never actually locked.]

[midget]

[ ...Stares. Into her soul.

A demon, huh? ]

And what happens when one of the bad guys comes in from the Dead Zone and uses this as an all-access pass to get right into the castle?

[psych0p0mps]

Sure thing! I have to do some stuff at the other outpost first, I think, but right now I'm planning for us to go on the 24th.

[Only, you know, it'll actually be like the 28th because Camp Halfblood.]

[psych0p0mps]

[A little self-conscious since yeah that was one of her concerns too, she just hasn't seen to it yet with everything that's been going on. Stepping off the pad, too, while she's at it.]

I know it's a risk, but the word is they've all taken off lately... Anyway, the security's a work in progress. I'm usually over there, if nothing else, and soon we're going to have giant robots and multi-layered magical wards on the place, plus some kind of alarm and protection on this end, at the very least.

[solar_absorber]

[Apollo can't help but be captivated by the view. Seeing the sky is both calming for him and a reminder that as long as he's here, he'll never be able to reach the sky again.

Turning his thoughts away from that, he goes to the refreshments table to set down what he brought: a few bags of chips and some dip. He's classy like that.]

Hopefully some other people will bring stuff. I'm not the best person to rely on when it comes to food.

[midget]

So, until then, we're relying on a sole demon to keep us safe from the possibility of an invading enemy army.

I feel so reassured.

[ruin_mania]

[She nods. That should be--well,Yuan should be back by then, she thinks. With luck, at any rate.]

I'll be certain to have everything packed by then. Do you have any ideas as to what we'll find?

[psych0p0mps]

A demon? [OH YOU MEAN HER.] Wow, it's really been a long time since anybody called me that. Anyway, I am pretty overpowered, so it's not like the place is defenseless.

[psych0p0mps]

[Shakes her head.] Not really! I mean, I have a vague idea, based on the maps and the painting, but it's hard to say how old or accurate either one is.

[ruin_mania]

That would be--the painting from the room in the Insolitus? Or is it some other painting?

[psych0p0mps]

Heh - it's not in the Insolitus anymore, but yeah, that's where I found it. [She pulls it out of her sylladex and shows it.] Actually, I should probably put it on display here, huh? That might make people interested.

[ruin_mania]

An excellent idea, I think. And perhaps someone will notice a clue about it?

[midget]

[ There's a little girl even younger than Aradia giving her an incredulous look. Wat do? ]

I think you and I have a very different definition of overpowered.
