OOC post discussion

It's a lovely, lovely day in the Desert Zone. The sun's out (because the sun is always out), the spearodactyls are soaring, and monstrous vehicles driven by mercenary tributes and their Warboy henchmen rumble through the dunes and harsh salt flats, hunting for unwary victims.

You are here.

Fortunately, you're not the only one here.

What We're Doing
You woke up with (or close enough to with) another Legionnaire (or Legionnaires) and have banded together. As team members find one another, they're forming a multi-war-rig convoy and making a run straight for the allegedly impenetrable force field in an attempt to break free.

On this journey, they will face opposition from the mercenary tributes. They will also have to cross through the sandstorm about halfway there. (You're also free to bring in your own hazards!)

Because having it all be one gigantic thread would be a mess, we're setting it up for everyone to be able to subthread whatever they want while handwaving the fact the convoy is going to the same place more or less together. Thread, NPC, and plot freely together. There will be a thread reserved for the end of the line.

When We Get There
The "finale" thread will have the Legionnaires reach the edge of the dome and do whatever they'd like to try and break it, instead just proving that they really can't bust out at this point. Then Arcade's hologram will appear to taunt them and use the Arena's teleportation systems to scatter the characters to other locations, wherever players deem fit to drop characters to continue their plot threading outside this post.

How Long Will This Take?
Assume this consumes most of Day 1. Characters will be scattered a little while before nightfall, so you'll have still have some time to do some Day 1 Things™ before Day 2.

Waking up in the desert and meeting others | OTA

As a firebender, Azula was used to heat. But this was something else. She felt like the sun was actually baking her and, while doing that, sapping her strength. She had to find some shade and soon.

She looked around her and noticed a few items she hadn't had before. Some if t was strange: two pain killers, that were packaged up in a material she didn't recognize and a a roll of something else that she didn't recognize, though it seemed like some sort of binding tool. However she smiled when she saw the set of throwing knives. While that was more Mai's thing, she could definitely do damage with those. Non-lethal damage.

After cataloguing her new possessions, she looked around. There wasn't much to see. A few trees and above them, she could see some sort of large creatures flying around. But there was something in the distance, though she couldn't tell what. She started to walk in that direction, hoping that whatever it was, it would be useful.

After Candy-Mountain; Before Industrial Zone

The thing in the distance was a figure and that figure was Jason. The teleportation that had occurred at the top of Candy Mountain had been unexpected to say the least and the fact that it had hurtled him into a scorching hot desert was NOT appreciated. Jason had only been here a few minutes and was already drenched in sweat. He drew a hand across his brow and squinted in the distance, seeing a figure approaching.

Jason looked around and then decided to Hades with it. He summoned a light breeze, the desert air refused to grow cooler for him, but at least the breeze was better than nothing. He started towards the figure and, after a few paced, recognized the person as no other than Azula.

He raised a hand in greeting, hoping he had her attention even though he could already tell she was walking straight towards him, "Hey!"

Out of all the people she'd met so far, Jason was the one Azula thought the most of, and so she was actually pleased to see him. "Hello," she said. "Fancy meeting you here."

The cool breeze reached and her and it was such a relief. For the first time, she almost wished she'd been born an airbender - but only almost, since the airbenders had been completely wiped out, save for the Avatar.

"Have you found anything of interest yet? All I see is desert and more desert."

"Glad to see you got my invitation to meet in the middle of a desert wasteland," Jason replied, trying to appear like the heat wasn't already getting to him. He didn't have a lot in his pack that was helpful in this (or really any) situation. And now he was starting to miss the ridiculous amount of food and drink resources that had been available in the land of sweets.

He shook his head at her question though. "I actually only just got here," Jason admitted. "I was in another zone before--and then I was randomly transported here." He knew that wasn't helpful, but he wasn't going to mislead someone into thinking he had information that he didn't. "Do you know much about surviving in a desert by any chance?"

Azula laughed at Jason's remark - actually laughed, albeit only for a moment. It made her think back to Ty Lee's advice about getting boys to like her. But she had more pressing issues right now, like getting out of the sun.

"Sadly no, at least not without adequate supplies. I'd kill for a drink right now." She isn't completely serious about that ... but she's also not completely joking either.

Jason hadn't known Azula for long, but even he was a little surprised he'd gotten a laugh out of her. She hadn't struck him as the type to have much of a sense of humor. Maybe he'd been wrong. Most people made that assumption about HIM at any rate and it was wrong.

"Well, I can only do wind...not water. We're going to need to search for a water source then...assuming this desert has one. Or we could try looking for the border -- there's a couple of different zones that would probably be more habitable," Jason suggested.

Azula nodded. It was good to know that the whole place wasn't just one big desert. "For once, I can't even see much use for fire, unless something or someone attacks us. Which I suppose is a possibility."

She turned around, looking around them. All she saw was sand, sand, and more sand. "I suppose there's not much to do aside from picking a direction and walking." She pointed back the way she came. "There's not much back that way."
