ONE MONTH AFTER EARTHLINGS’ LANDINGS:
ASGARDIANS & GUARDIANS ARRIVAL / CAMPSITE EXTENDS:
STUDIES IN PLAY, RECORDING PLANET ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES.
The mission groups and the rescue team went straight to work, building a protective fence around the area they’ve declared as theirs. Thanks to Tony and Reed, they’ve created (prior to their crash landing) seven pods, leaving the Avengers and Xmen to be split up 3 per pod. These pods included four beds (shared bedroom, bunk bed style), a small bathroom, a kitchen and living room – completely furnished. Of course they’re fairly basic, designed only for a temporary purpose as they build more permanent structures here on Orbulite. The outside of them are dome-shaped and reflective and have solar panels on its sides to help run the electronics inside.
ASGARDIANS & GUARDIANS ARRIVAL / CAMPSITE EXTENDS:
The Asgardians reached their campsite first and received a warm welcome! After all Thor is an Avenger despite the company he keeps ( *coughs* Loki *coughs*). The idea of having more people on the campsite felt overwhelming at first but with the extra help, their settlement extended and Reed got to work on creating a larger pod for the Asgardians. Quill’s arrival was less welcoming. Between the Project New Home (PNH) participants and the Asgardians, opinions of the self-proclaimed Guardians of the Galaxy were low to say the least. Nonetheless, the campsite welcomed the newcomers and managed to squeeze them into their pods, dividing the pods amongst the PNH participants and the Guardians. Below is the current pod situation!
Pod #1: Tony, Bruce, Bucky & Charles
Pod #2: Reed, Matt, Steve & Sharon
Pod #3: Jessica, Elektra & Laura
Pod #4: Susan, Calvin, Thor & Loki
Pod #6: Wanda, Pietro & Yelena
Pod #7: Wade, Peter Q, & Rocket
ORBULITE STUDIES / ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES:
While Tony and Reed focused on the building-aspect of the settlement, others like Bruce and Charles were constantly writing down any observations of the new planet. Desert terrain. Pastel yellow and navy blue skies. Maroon-colored sands and of course the orb-like protective layer around the planet. They didn’t know much about it other than it clearly caused electronic malfunctions and quickly fell off their radar as storms began to be their primary focus. The moment the group experienced their first sandstorm on the planet, shifted some people’s attitudes about making Orbulite home. Not only did the sandstorm destroy one of the buildings the group had been working on but also managed to deposit large piles of sand along the settlement’s fence, trapping them inside.
Of course the sand alone wasn’t the cause for the shift in mind. Unfortunately with the storm, came an unexpected element – superpower outage. From Jean to Pietro, nobody was safe from this unexplainable outage and it received mixed reviews. All in all, no matter what each person’s stance was, it became abundantly clear that this planet might be unoccupied for a reason.
Some would say it was inevitable. Some would say the rest should have expected it. Unlike the first time, the second one the group is experiencing is A LOT worse this time around. While the first sandstorm lasted a total of five hours, our heroes are now in deep – eight hours in hiding, trapped by sand and high winds. The winds are as intense as hurricanes, moving and causing destruction with no mercy. And of course, creating new piles of sand all over, further trapping them in their hideaway pods. The winds managed to have knocked out the solar panels of pods #2, 6, & 7 and all electronics are down as the orb-like layer seems to be having an effect on the storm in play.
Characters are split up, some in their designated pods, some not. With the winds high up to 88 mph, stepping outside is ill-advised. Even if it’s for supplies or to escape to the larger pod that is hosting the citizens of Asgard. Our heroes are powerless in every sense of the word and tensions are high. Will they be able to handle the sandstorm? Or will this further prove how unprepared they are?
Pod #1: Pietro, Yelena, Loki, Laura & Calvin
Pod #3: Susan, Wade, Rocket, Jessica & Wanda
Pod #4: HEAVILY DAMAGED: Charles, Steve & Reed
Pod #5: Elektra, Tony, Matt, Bruce & Megan
Pod #6: Bucky, Thor, Peter Q, Jean, MJ & Sharon
OUR FIRST EVENT: THE SECOND SANDSTORM
Welcome to our first event!! We will be creating pod channels for those who are craving some team effort into surviving this crazy storm. Right now our heroes are facing potential pod-damage and short supplies on basic needs like water, food, etc. AND they’re not able to contact others as all electronics are down. They are stuck and have to stick together to ride out the storm!
The event will last for a week so be on the lookout for a plot drop or two! 👀 Prepare yourselves as this storm is far from over!
Participation for this event is mandatory! And will end on Thursday, April 7th @ 10 pm est / 9 pm cst.
