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.

I'm not going to apologize for not thinking we'd be from different points in time! A lot has happened! Clearly!

That's not--

[he presses both hands to his face to breathe for a moment.] It's not the point.

[BREATHE. Then he starts walking to the ship ahead of him.]

[well, Martin's going to speed back up.]

Then what is the point, Jon? What, are you telling me that you can't figure out on your own why I kissed you? Is that it?
eyediot: (take all those emotions. and bury them.)

[He sputters, stumbling half a step but keeps moving.]

Among other things.

[Martin's comment of 'your eyes' wasn't lost on him. If he really was from two years his future, then do his eyes look different? Oh god what happens to his eyes.]

Fine! Then let me spell it out for you, okay, are you ready? It's shocking to you, I know, but in my time? You and me? We're an "us". Sure, a lot happened between your Point A and my Point B, but we got there, and it's done both of us a lot of good through a lot of terrible things, and we were going to face even more terrible things but together. Okay? Is that clear enough for you? Do I need to write it down? Or give a statement?
eyediot: (I'm gonna be the man who comes back home)

[Ask and ye shall receive, huh.]

So. Asking the ship for answers. Yes.
