Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special
Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post
Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~
The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

Ena clutches her umbrella and peers upward at the dome. The dome is at least under control, but that's not exactly the most comforting thought.
Regardless, she has a job to do. She wonders how the crystals managed to get into the dome, not to mention how they managed to preserve enough momentum through the water to somehow break through the dome, if that's what caused the cracks. But she hadn't seen any yet, so unless these crystals are microscopically small, one colliding with the dome could have shattered the entire thing. She didn't know how the dome was engineered, though--she could not ignore the possibility.
But she thought it was much more likely that someone brought one in. While the crystals appeared not too long ago, Vaikuntha was a constant stream of people going from one city to another, an impression she got from the intricate network of airships that connected the whole globe. But then again, while an outsider could have brought one in, she couldn't imagine that the owner would let it leave their person willingly. That is, unless they had a private and safe place they could put it, out of sight and out of reach from the general public.
Was there a place that had private storage for outsiders, but was also open enough to catch a crystal in case it fell directly from the dome?
...
The Blitzball Stadium. ]
no subject
And apparently you absolutely must come this way.
As you ascend the steps to the entrance, water rushes down alongside you. You can hear shouting, clanking, and the roar of water within. Once you’re at the threshold, you look down at the half-dome stadium seating to see that the water level inside the stadium is much higher than in the rest of the city. It’s halfway up the stadium! Thankfully, the stadium was built with these sorts of disasters in mind, so the water is being drained down the sides. What’s not so great is that it’s not being drained fast enough. The levels are definitely rising.
“Heeey!” A soaked, blond man in fashionable waiters and goggles jogs over to you. “About time you got here! This place is turning into a fish bowl!” He turns away and shouts down at another man closer to the water line. “Neggi! Lyh dra ynlr suja oad?”
The other is on his knees, somewhere between working and beating something with a wrench, when he looks back up at the two of you. “Fa fuh'd ghuf ihdem fa dno! Ajanodrehk'c picdat!”
“Aaah,” the other groans before looking back to you. “Did you bring the rotary couplings?”
> “I have no idea what’s going on. Goodbye.” Leave the stadium.
> “I definitely have the rotary couplings, yes.” Lie.
> “I don’t have the rotary couplings but I do have a ton of questions.”
no subject
When the man rushes over, she gently lands on the nearest dry patch and watches their exchange curiously. She doesn't understand them, but maybe she could do her best to suss out the problem. ]
I don't have the rotary couplings, but I do have a ton of questions. Do you need help? I'd gladly fetch some of the tools you need.
no subject
You have no idea what he just said, but he’s nodding and pointing down at the other man. “Go see Neggi. He’ll help you out. Just don’t touch the yellow motor, okay? The green one is the one you want.” He claps you on the arm and leaves.
You carefully walk down the seating area to find Neggi with half of his body stuck through an open grate in the flooring. He looks up at you when you approach. “Ah! Dra amiceja tamejano vehymmo ynnejac!” He holds his hand out. “Did Pitto say green, purple, or yellow?”
> “Green.”
> “Purple.”
> “Yellow.”
> “I have no idea what anyone’s saying.”
no subject
As she floats down to Neggi, she brushes off the spot that Pitto touched. ]
Well, he said you wanted green, and not to touch the yellow one.
no subject
… Okay, it’s starting to get awkward now. “Uh, dra luibmehkc? Oui tu ryja dras, nekrd?”
> “I have no idea what you’re saying.”
> “If you’re asking about the couplings, I don’t have them on me right now.”
no subject
Ena squints at him and tilts her head. A little awkward, indeed. ]
I'm sorry, If you're asking about the couplings, I don't have them on me right now. But I can fetch some if you need me to.
no subject
He then takes off after the first guy, leaving you to your own devices.
> Leave the stadium while you have the chance.
> Look down the hole.

The purple motor looks to be in decent condition. It has a large switch just within reach to apparently turn it off and on.
The green has a large panel missing on the front to show the inner workings, where it looks like more parts are missing. Luckily, Neggi left some parts sitting on top of the machine. You figure you can eyeball the rest and cobble it back together yourself.
The yellow looks dented and scorched, has definitely seen better days. Perhaps that’s the one Neggi was bashing on when you arrived. The on and off switch is within reach of that one, too.
What do you do?
> Turn on the purple motor.
> Turn on the yellow motor.
> Try to put pieces back into the green motor.
> Wait for Neggi to return.
no subject
So her unfamiliarity coupled with the understanding that this is not her place to fix this, she steps back from the hole and looks up in the direction the two disappeared to, to wait for Neggi to return. ]
no subject
He’s waiting for an answer.
> “Yes.”
> “No.”
> “About a quarter past nine.”
> Finally admit you have no idea what he’s saying.
> Point out that there’s something wrong with the motors.
no subject
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're saying. If there's any way I can help, could you please tell me what that might be in, er, Common...?
no subject
He pauses, blinks, and speaks again. “What do you have to say for yourself?”
> Ask what happened.
> Apologize and leave.
no subject
no subject
He sighs again and looks up at the arch before turning his head back down to the hole. “We were thinking that if we got all these old motors running again, we could do a check of the whole system to see what’s wrong. But because the equipment is so old and outdated, it won’t work at all. They need parts and rewiring and- We upgraded the equipment years ago. Never thought we had to use these again, and now look where we are.”
He shakes his head, at a loss.
> Ask if there’s any way you can help.
> Apologize and leave.
no subject
Obviously, she was here now, barging in on their business, and it would be rude if she just waltzed away after all this. ]
Is there anything I can do to help?
no subject
“And you’re one of those people who helped kill that dragon, right? Yeah, I’m sure you can handle it! Go on in!”
> Agree to dive into the water.
> Ask if there’s another way you can help.
