WHO: All y’all
WHAT: A nice vacation to ease everyone in
WHERE: Various locations on Alkonost Island, including Navi
WHEN: Sept 12-30
WARNINGS: Use ‘em in your threads if needed!
Welcome to Alkonost, the beautiful tropical island on the planet Tetagari where you have just made an emergency crash landing! You’ll be here for a while, so settle in and get cozy with your new shipmates until Navi is repaired and ready for takeoff.
Alkonost is a small island with an eponymous beachfront village, with the rest of the land covered in tropical rainforest, dry forest, and grasslands. Most of the land is still wild, as the Alkonost population is centered at the beach, though ancient ruins can be found a bit more inland. Alkonostians are a humanoid, amphibious people, with light green skin, gills, and webbed fingers; they are friendly and welcoming to tourists, business contacts, and intergalactic refugees alike.
Speaking of business, the main exports of Alkonost are various types of fish, shell jewelry, and a unique, dark red pearl that is only cultivated in the waters surrounding the island. These red pearls are highly prized on other islands and provide the bulk of income for the Alkonost population. They’ve also recently attracted a band of pesky pirates, which has taken to raiding export ships and even the pearl farms themselves, on occasion. Warning signs are posted near the shoreline and will be explained by locals if asked.
While visiting, you can elect to work as part of a fishing or pearl farming crew, or with one of the island’s fruit collection squads, and you’ll be paid daily in fresh fish and equally fresh fruit. For necessities of the non-consumable sort, the village open-air market is open every day for all of your shopping needs. Otherwise, grab some sun on the beach, dance and sing around bonfires at night, get to know your fellow passengers, or just chill on the ship and get to know Navi.

"It's not real," Isaac explains, dropping his good hand and shoving it into his pocket "I... there was an accident. I lost my arm, this is just a prosthetic. It doesn't work like a normal human arm..."
They were making advances all the time, and Isaac knew that one day he'd have something almost like the real thing - if he ever got home that was - but it would never quite be the same, not for him.

And there's a definite wave of sympathy that emanates from Navi. They may not understand the situation entirely, but it's clear this is an unpleasant subject for Isaac.

"Sometimes they can do that with humans, but there are some injuries that just can't be healed..." his arm had been well beyond repair, though they'd tried their best in the end all the reconstructive surgery in the world wasn't going to do anything.
But reminding himself of the day he'd been told he'd never fly again is not why he came here, so he shook off the melancholy and forced a smile "Anyway I just figured I'd offer help if there was anything I could do."
