Event Eight.





To thee I'll return, overburdened with care;
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there.
No more from the cottage again will I roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.





he Town is quiet this week. No sudden quests on the forum post, no roars of werewolves in the distance... just peaceful, peaceful quiet. Of course, it's hot as hell right now, but that aside, it's pretty pleasant. You probably don't want to wander around the Town right now, but...

Naturally, now's when the Town is going to start thoroughly encouraging you to do just that.

You do want to find your doorway back home, don't you?

Better get searching! And don't mind the other worlds you might end up stumbling into first.




Welcome to Awash's eighth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post.

You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well. If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

["Some good." He smiled a bit wryly.]

I suppose people are nothing if not predictable.

[But, hey. He may fail in science but guess what his passion is? City planning and domestic affairs. So he's listening with rapt attention.]

A gondola. That is the same word used in Venedik for the small boats they use to travel the waterways in the city. [Which would be interesting if her were a linguist but like...you know what he really wants to know?]

How are the schedules determined? I assume it would open up during the times when it would be busiest...

And being able to extend a city into the sky...it would open up so many possibilities. The Kingdom of Urado in the north is in the mountains and that limits their resources as they have less available farmland. With technology like this, it would be possible to create plateaus. But I suppose irrigation would be a problem, wouldn't it?

[He wishes Zeki Pasha were here! He'd probably tell Mahmut off for being too stupid to figure out a solution himself but he'd surely have some idea.]

[ She's a little surprised at what he latches onto, but it's definitely not a negative. The only thing she's disappointed by is her own knowledge, since for a lot of his questions (and goodness, there's quite a few!), her answer is a simple: ]

I don't know, actually.

[ She gives him an apologetic glance and a shrug. ]

I know gondolas get their name from the boats in-- Well, I know it as Venice, but the rest I can only really guess on. It's kind of a long story, but the short version is that I'd never really seen Columbia until just before I came to Chroma.

[ She starts to look in the sky for something, but since she can't see it right now, she'll just have to explain as best she can, she guesses. ]

My whole life I lived in a, um, tower. So that's why I don't know very much about how things really work for the logistics of the city.

Venice. [The word fell from his lips and it sounded...odd, because of its similarity to the name of another city he knew. Could they be the same...? But that was a question he'll hold back on since his previous ones seems to have made things awkward.]

...that makes sense if you have not interacted with the city much. [He was curious as to why but was it really his place to ask?] It is a pity, that you haven't had the chance to see more of this city. It looks splendid.

[ She's a bit grateful that he doesn't pry into the tower itself, since that topic is always a sour one. Considering the wonder that he (and his eagle!) have for Columbia, she doesn't really want to ruin it. There's a lot to dislike about the city, she's found, but as it is now? It's harmless. Mostly. ]

I had been seeing more of it before I came to Chroma. But very quickly.

[ She admits that with a little laugh, since running through the city trying to escape definitely isn't tourist conditions. ]

It's nice to be able to take my time and see even just here. Plus, I get to show other people. Even some of the more fantastic places I've heard of don't have a city in the sky.
