[OOC] The Dust

[Darcs]

Haha! How can he be here and on Jupiter at the same time!?

[Callthecops]

That sweet, sweet jazz carried him all the way to the Dust?

[Syben]

I would much rather be whisked away upon the solemn melodies of a violin

Mega posts!

[Antediluvixen]

@kapuchu Bravo, bravo.

[Syben]

@Kapuchu Tits McGee!! HURRAY. @Darcs & @Kapuchu you two have a wonderful collab going on, and I enjoy reading every bit of it. I am myself, working on snippets of Jon's post, leading up to his storyline which is going to heavily interupt the plans of the Castilia Mafia unfortunately. Though such was inevitable, as I almost always have a reason for doing things. It's just unfortunate everybody wanted to start in ground zero. *wink*. My girlfriend leaves thursday in the early A.M , I will have a post for you all then. I apologize for the delay, but feel reprieved at doing away with post order as I'm not actually holding anybody up. Speaking of people, where is everybody at? I haven't heard from some of you in quite some time.

[Antediluvixen]

@Aeonumbra I'm just sort of waiting to see if anything else happens so far.

[Darcs]

Next post depends on how Kapu and Cops wanna play it. I felt like ending where we did leaves enough ambiguity for Evelina to go do her thing and Bento to wake up and make his way in, that the next post can either start with them interacting, or we can have a few solo posts THEN have them all interacting. Also Ground Zero!? You mean to say we won't get to make that trip to Tas everyone's totally looking forward to??? Edit: Finished Sel

Sel

Sel

Faction: Aqueous Classification: Small town Population: 125 Est. Production: Paper, Ink, Art, Culture, Modern Religious scrolls, Geisha training, Southern Shengriantist Monks Notable Areas: The Maiko quarters, The Temples, Southern Shengriantist Shrines, Sayuri's Grove, Khan's Yurt Shanty Town Description: If Tas is a testament to the vices of Old World Sino-pacific culture, then Sel serves as it's literal opposite. Less a town and more a gigantic temple dedicated to the cause of preserving the virtues, traditions, practices and culture of the Old World and Dust. Sel also creates art, religious texts and trains those accepted in the ways of the Geisha both Old World and new and serves as a gathering place for Southern Shengriantist Monks. At one point, Sel was an Old World amusement park, miraculously preserved by the Fall, it's transformation into the plastic sacred ground that it is today was done by the first early Shengriantist monks and volunteer help from the Khans. In a 200 year event known now as "The Divine Transformation," the grounds were re-purposed into several traditional temples, shrines, statues dedicated to the gods, meditation grounds, and training groves. The area outside of Sel is generally flat desert dotted with shrubbery and mutated flowers. The closer to Sel one gets, the more flowers one can see-- an attempt to regain the beauty of the land by monks, now forgotten. Technically not part of Sel, would be the extensive community of tents one would have to approach before getting into Sel proper, these are the yurts owned by the Khans of sand-- a nomadic group of men and women dedicated to the days of the Mongolian Empire. The have a spiritual agreement with the Monks of Sel and have a constant garrison of protection surrounding the city. Further away from Sel, are the packs of hollow and corrupted Immortals-- which seem to be increasing by the day. The interior of Sel is the impressive result of 200 years of religious dedication. What was once a mouse themed amusement part, now holds stone shrines and wooden temples and lodgings all in accordance with Heian era Japan. Artisans and Geisha have reworked, over long periods, the 'rides' that once gave praise to capitalism, into testaments to humanity's praise to the Deva, the only true and just Gods. The men are either Southern Shengriantist monks, religious pilgrims, or artisans who seek sanctuary from the harshness of Dust in the protected borders of Sel, the women fall similarly, either being Priestesses, pilgrims, Geisha, Maiko (Prospective Geisha/In training), or artisans. Generally, Sel citizens are a kind and peaceful, if slightly isolated and naive about Dust and the ways of the world.

@Darcs Sel is very nice, very creative. I know your creation of Sel lies in accordance with your characters storyline, but I appreciate the work none-the-less. Well done, and thank you.

[Syben]

@Callthecops I know you are lurking. @Vandy Still around? Been awhile since I heard from you. @Firecracker_ Still with us?

[Vandy]

I'm still here, I've just been busy lately. I'll get a post up when I can. Really sorry it is taking so long.

[Callthecops]

This weekend was my school's Saint-Patrick's Day parade (yes, we know it's early) so I spent the entirety of yesterday drunk off my ass. Like literally. All day. It was terrible great. I will be reading posts today and trying to get my life back in order. After that I will be attempting to get a post together for sometime early this week.

[Syben]

@Vandy@Firecracker_ Have you kept up on the IC posts?

[Vandy]

I'm on about number 17, so I'm in the process of catching up.

@Vandy

Ah, choosing to read all of them then. Thanks for the effort, I'd hate to lose anybody else in this.

[Vandy]

I'm still here, just real life is being a bitch at the moment. I do want to know what all is going on but I might have to skip a head a little bit.
