Event || Mysterious Fathoms Below

[eternitymods]

Who: All characters who signed up
When: June 23rd-25th
Where: Ka'Pandol, the underwater city
What: While the outworlders and their guides are touring the new arena at Ka'Pandol, the city begins to flood. It is up to them to activate the ancient drainage system beneath the city before the Blitzball Association is forced to cancel the upcoming tournament.



The Zora guide, Pharce, is leading the group from the Curti Center through the center of town, waxing poetical about the legend of the First Zora, when the sirens begin to wail. At first, the residents of Ka'Pandol wave it off as a drill, but the sirens do not stop, and as they walk, the visitor shoes are beginning to get soaked through with sea water that is slowly rising.

"Come along, quickly, all of you!" the guide calls, leading the group to the Bureau of Tourism near the city center. As they walk, the group will see the aquatic residents quickly deploying bubble helmets around their 'exotic' pets -dogs, cats, parrots, squirrels- heads, just in case City Management takes their time righting whatever issue the dome is having.

"Inside, please. Safety first is our motto, so let's get you outfitted," Pharce says, waiving them inside. Each person is given one of the patented Ka'Pandol Bubble Helm, which will allow them to breath comfortably for several hours. Those that cannot swim are issued an emergency life vest as well.

The water had reached knee-level now. An emergency evacuation message broadcasts from loudspeakers.

"Well, yes, you could...but where's the fun in that?"

Pharce waves at the Hypello gift shop owner, and the two bow their heads in discussion for a moment. When they part, Pharce pats the Hypello (whose nametag declares him 'Shtan') on the back.

"My good friend will lend us some of his wares, if you will join me in saving the city. We wouldn't want this little mishap to delay the big game, after all."

Those that agree to hold off on fleeing the city will be split into groups and given instructions on where to go in order to help the sinking city of Ka'Pandol.

[This whole thing is a little intimidating, but Salieri works to keep his cool.]

Well, we did answer many riddles just to get in here, or at least the folks in my group did. I think that was a pretty good example of cunning, yes?

[zanarkandian]

Yeah! I thought I was a little out of my depth, at first, but once we combrined our finntastic puzzling skills, I'd say it all went pretty swimmingly.

[This could be the biggest mistake of his life. You wouldn't know it from that grin.]

[ Finn was strong, he knew, but visions of Kylo Ren in the snow flashed through his mind. His resolve was strong when put fully to a task but crumbled if any doubt lingered no matter how important.

But his plans. He wasn't exactly boastful about his half-cocked ideas, but they worked. Usually. It was the best asset he had right now.

Staying with his previous group was just a plus.

He braces against the wave and stays still as it passes by, guns still drawn just in case, waiting in a fighting stance. He wasn't going to act without reason, but he wasn't taking chances either. For now, he just stayed quiet and paid attention. ]

[ Lean likewise hept his silence, for he doubted the power of their words alone was going to carry them through the trial. Maybe it wasn’t as much about taking action as providing a reaction worthy of the Goddess’ attention, and for that... he could only observe and wait, keeping a potion flask close to his chest. The glistening potion within wasn’t merely a curative, but a certain chance of survival in case drastic measures would need to be taken.

... Honestly though, one more riddle wouldn’t hurt, if he had to choose. ]
