 ⏵ arrival ⏴ Arrival is absolutely not normal this month. Instead of a hospital bed, you wake in a tunnel with a large group of other people. These are the residents. A woman’s voice in an earpiece hurriedly clues you in with an apology. I apologize; I had not planned to introduce you this way, but we are low on time. Please proceed down the hallway. For everyone else, coming in is much the same. The instruction goes out to head to designated areas immediately, where companion bots will escort the residents of Etraya down into the depths, the area beneath where much the same is explained.  ⏵ disrobing ⏴ The tunnel eventually opens directly into the foreroom of an expansive library, painted in marvelous hues and patterns with skylights far above. There are wizards milling about, bearded and holding tomes, quietly chatting amongst themselves. The reception area of the library has tall ceilings with equally tall doors Before you get too caught up in the scenery, a voice directs you forward. A gentleman, hunched and bespeckled craws out. "Make a line! Make a line, everyone! You cannot enter the library dressed as you are... Come forward and give me your name." The receptionist asks your given name and then hands over a box from underneath his counter. You can give him any name you want, he doesn’t seem to mind. It is tied with a tagged ribbon- labeling it accordingly. “The _____ robe of _______.”
As you read what the contents of the box may be, they form inside- Looking and behaving as your character expects them to. After all, magic is all in the wielder’s mind. Don your robes and enter the library.  ⏵ unfamiliar familiars ⏴ For those without a familiar (like one hatched from an egg not too long ago) you may borrow one from the library counter. They all have strengths and weaknesses, but they will all assist in the very important mission. As you roam the library, they will make little indications that you are closer or further from finding a piece of the pearl.
 ⏵ the task at hand ⏴ With robes donned and creature in hand, you must now complete your mission. Find the pieces of the shattered pearl. As you enter the library, you may notice that it’s all very dim. There’s oil lamps around the place that may be moved with you to assist in your journey if your robes do not already emit light. Break off and search the library. There is a directory at the front to point guests to all the different sections.
Each section looks enough like the last, though the books within have immense power. Pick up the wrong book, and you might conjure a dragon or a historical figure! You must persist and avoid making too much noise or breaking too many things. Or else the Librarian, a tall mass of knotted fabric will confiscate your robe and usher you back outside. Your name will be struck from the list, and you must pick a new one to re-enter the library to continue the search. You can try to fight back against him- he may be set alight with the lamp. But should you be starting fires in here? Any thread with 15 comments between you and another may be submitted to find a piece of the pearl. There are 20 pieces altogether, and we will determine if the mission was successful by March 28th. A post will go live on the OOC comm for this! This mission occurs out of time, similar to how the spaceship had. Meaning, those currently in game can experience these events any time between now, and March 14th. Please direct all questions to our mod queries comment! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

[ and though he doesn't know what he's done, he does know what he should have done. he should have gotten sam out of the cage. what else was he brought back for, if not to help?
except he died, again, and this time to his own foolishness. in dean's time, does that mean that god brought him back again? why? why would he have done such a thing, only for this to be the result? ]
We should find Dean.
[ fuck this mission tbh ]
no subject
Except it's not.
It's really, really not. And Sam is already exhausted.] It's Lucifer.
no subject
of course it's lucifer.
he should have known, honestly. what else would sam be seeing after a year in the cage?
castiel looks back in the direction sam was looking and swallows, like he can see him too. there's real fear in his face, in the micro expressions that play across his muscles, beneath the impassive blankness that he usually wears. ]
There must be something that can be done.
[ it's a miracle sam is even alive. ]
no subject
Touch, uh, touch seems to help. For a bit.
no subject
[ he supposes that makes sense. it would be grounding, to a human.
he leaves his hand on sam's arm for now. ]
How were you dealing with this back home? Does Dean know?
no subject
Dean knew back home. I was getting benched. And then he pulled me on a Leviathan mission.
[As for Dean here, well let's just pretend the threads are in time order.] Is Dean here?
no subject
[ maybe not in the library, but in etraya. ]
If he knew then, he'll know now. All of this has already happened to him. Maybe— Maybe he'll have the solution.
[ which also means that dean knows everything he's done. ]
no subject
Yeah. Dean should know.
no subject
[ sam's told him more in the few minutes they've spoken. he wonders if dean will be unhappy about that— he's sure that there were things that dean didn't want him to know. and cas had been willing to respect that, right up to the point when he realized he may have done something unconscionable. ]
no subject
What do we do now?
no subject
[ he's worried about sam. ]
But if you'd rather stay and complete this mission...
no subject
The mission might be a good distraction.
no subject
[ he studies sam a moment longer, sympathy just beneath the surface of his features, and then he beckons sam to walk with him. ]
Let's keep checking the books.
no subject
Look.
