spencer was grateful to be back on familiar ground. it had been a whirlwind of a month, so a walk across the peer with the familiar views of the beach and cliffs around him was just what spencer needed. even with the looming threat of the storm in the distance. with someone speaking to him, spence directed his attention to her. "we will," he confirmed. "you can see the pannus underneath those clouds," he paused for a moment, remembering that he was trying to explain terms to people. "that's the ragged and wispy bits underneath. an indication the cloud will produce rain, compared to a rounded, lighter coloured cloud."

❧ open to all ❧ near the beach

Thunder to be heard in the distance as clouds closed in. It was a beautiful display for those that could appreciate the wonderment of a storm, the harshness of a tidal wave or even just the gust of a strong wind. Fall had come and gone, and with it the increase in the grey that seemed to cloud the entirety of the world around. Every now and then Bonanus felt as though there was something beyond those clouds, like she had a connection somewhere far away. For a split second, before she'd push those thoughts away. Distraction was easy to come by.

In the corner of her eye she noted movement, causing her turn to with face full of wonderment. "Do you think we'll get some rain later?" Always the rain enthusiast.

"usually i handle them with a glass or two of liquor," anthony spoke back. it would certainly do well to calm his nerves right now. he had been confused about this whole thing, as well as how his head was full of concern for kate's safety and whereabouts. "it is quite large," he agreed. "nothing like our small island with it's streets so familiar."

The scoff flows freely from her lips, annoyance flitting over her features. This predicament hasn't been an easy one. Not when she couldn't find her husband and now must board with another man. "When I am nervous, I speak too much. Apparently you have other ways of handling your nerves." she muses, "I was just commenting on how massive this city is. I've gotten lost an embarrassingly amount of times."

murphy folded his arms and observed her and how she was controlling the water without realising. then it came crashing. "no, that was all you," he said simply. he had also found out his powers in a similar chaotic way.

@signcfthetiimes (Osha & Anyone (Northern Water Tribe))

Osha had been trying to summon any semblance of the force, Standing with her back near the water's edge. She was completely unaware that the water behind her was responding to every movement she was making until it came crashing down too close for comfort. "What the---." She scrambled to the side before looking around. "Did you do this?" She called out to the first person she made eye contact with.

if galadriel was being truthful, this had been the worst month of her life. she had been thrown into a completely new and alien world alone, without halbrand. it might've been exciting, enjoyable if they were together. galadriel had been putting down the strange and unnerving nightmares she had been having down to the stress. but they felt so real. like glimpses of another life never lived. but when she next awoke, her eyes opened to the familiar canopy of her bedroom. the feel of her own bed beneath her. instinctively, galadriel reached out, only to feel the space empty beneath her fingers. sitting up, she took in that this was in fact, her own house. but she was seemingly alone. rising, galadriel began to panic. had she returned, but was still alone? was halbrand elsewhere? she hoped it wasn't so. "halbrand?" galadriel called out as she stepped out of the bedroom, urgency present in her tone.

that was a lot of questions all in one go and not all of them rhaenyra could answer. but at least they could provide an answer to most of them. "i do not know how long we will be here," she spoke back. "but i can tell you we are in the city of volantis, in essos. there's many things i could tell you about this place and of it's history. it was a city founded by my ancestral people, after all."

location: volantis

"Soooo," pausing he looked over at the other and pursed his lips for a moment, "how long do you think we'll be stuck around here? Any actual idea where we are? Have you gained any information or history about here?" As a warrior and a commander of an army for the Night Court back home Cassian had a taste for any information that would help. He was determined to find out what he could and what would help especially since he didn't have Azriel around who's shadows came in handy.

they had never hugged before, yet ivar felt a sense of relief and his body relaxing when she's pressed against him. he doesn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her, which was strange. he hugged her back for only a moment, before pulling away, resting his hands on her shoulders and looking her up and down, checking for any injuries on her. "are you hurt?" ivar asked, instantly. a question he never spoke in ivy cove but yet somehow had also asked her many times before. this all felt so strange and confusing here.

The uncanny feeling that she knew this place was unsettling. The way some people around this city recognized the name Valdeth was even more rattling. Fortunately, she seemed to suffer the same invisibility she did in ivycove. She was desperate to escape this place, feeling like she was unravelling already. She couldn't help but admit that she missed a certain someone. Just as the thought struck her mind, she heard his voice. God, this heat must be making her hallucinate. Except, as she turned, there he was. "Ivar?" She wasn't quite sure what come over her, but she finds herself running towards him. Next thing she knows, her face is pressed up against his chest, her arms wrapped around him in a hug.

"no, not rude!" ariella reassured quickly, dropping her hand to not bring attention to them anymore. "i'm just -- well no one has ever said nice things about them before," she muttered, blush continuing to pile at her cheeks. "my cave is... um, i live south of the city," ariella spoke quickly, not meaning to mention that she lived in a cave. how lame that would seem compared waterdeep. "i hope not," she said with a sigh, looking past him to the city then focusing back on gale. "i liked ivy cove. i'm... fine." a lie. "i just don't like big cities and well, baldur's gate has bad memories for me." she had lost friends here. ones she had been unable to save. "do you think... do you think you could figure out this barrier?"

Gale smiled easily back at her, delighted to have found the woman here of all places. He did worry that he'd spoken too bluntly when she touched her horns, blushing slightly himself and nodding. "You're quite welcome! Apologies if that was rude, sometimes I fail to stop my thoughts from running out of my mouth." Gale gave her a soft smile before his gaze moved to the barrier, curious eyes moving over the space looking for signs of the Weave. "Trying to go home? Do you live outside the city or somewhere else entirely? But I suspect we've not seen the end of Ivy Cove...or at least the people from there. It still feels like a lot of displaced people here, but..maybe Baldur's Gate is the new Ivy Cove." Chuckling softly, he returned his attention to her. "Are you alright though? I know it's stressful, not being able to go home."

[signcfthetiimes]

"no, i can't say i do," peter said. finding a bar had been the last thing on his mind here. he was too busy trying gwen. after finally having her back, she had been torn from him again. "well, that's a lie. i've been round both areas quite a lot. there's a bar close to here, but i don't know if it's good or not."

@signcfthetiimes (Cypher & Anyone(In Piltover & Zaun)

The tension written all over him came from one source. He had lost Nova again. He had scoured the city and found no trace of her. He now had yet another thing to ask her forgiveness for . "Do you know any place above or below that's good for a drink?" He questioned the first person he could find. Stuffing his hands in his pockets as he did his best to try to appear neutral and bury his own feelings.

hearing the bang and crash, roan instinctively leapt up. it was his warrior instincts kicking in. usually he would be more cautious and not rush into an unknown room because of a noise, but hearing the voice caused him to investigate. he was still cautious and on edge, but less defensive as the other spoke. "it's not mine," roan answered. "do you need help?" he asked, considering she was on the floor.

@signcfthetiimes (Toph & Roan)

There was a loud bang and a crash, followed by a stringing of verbal swear words that would make a sailor blush. Toph laid flat on her back, an end table tossed over on it's side with the vase that was on top of it scattered into a million pieces across the floor. "Something is seriously wrong with me." She grumbled aloud. Since waking up here, she had felt different. It was messing with the energy she spent into her seismic sense. There was another sense there, a third sense she couldn't quite touch or control properly. "I hope you didn't own that." She grumbled, feeling another coming toward her. "Cause I'll let you know i'm broke."

roan was finding life in this place confusing. he wasn't used to such tech. even from life in ivy cove. it seemed like space, which roan was sure clarke would understand. lost in his own thought, he was brought back to reality by the other and her exclamation. "that's pretty common here, apparently," he responded. "i can move things too."

@signcfthetiimes (Asterin & Anyone (In Coruscant))

Blackbeak's didn't have magic, no the only power within their blood came from the Yielding. Yet here she stood moving things with just a single thought. A strange sensation washing over her entire body as she lifted various objects in size and slamming it back down into the ground. "What is happening to me." She questioned stumbling back in pure confusion.

[signcfthetiimes]

"that's probably us," shoto returned to the other, simply. it seemed no one in the city had realised it had new residents from a completely different world. which was strange, but it was also easier this way. "those from ivy cove, that is. we don't know how we got here." shoto wasn't sure if the other was actually from ivy cove, but by the way she spoke and how she looked like no one else he had seen, he deduced it.

@signcfthetiimes (Aayla & Anyone (in Balders Gate))

The Blue Twi'lek had to take the small wins she could muster and being back in her own skin felt like one she could at the very least is take. She stitched herself a makeshift headband to style around her lekku before heading out into the city streets. Her mind needing a bit to readjust to being sensitive to the emotions of all the residents of the city. Her feet silent against the ground as she observed those around her. "Something is off within this city." She spoke to herself, "I doubt any of the normal residents here can feel it." She turned slightly before sighing at the sight of another. "Sorry, I was just verbally sorting my thoughts."

[signcfthetiimes]

peeta was slightly startled by the other jumping down from the roof on to the steps that were a bit in front of him. it shouldn't have, considering it was one of the least surprising and odd things here. she spoke oddly too, but he paid no mind to that. "then you're in the right place for that. this market has lots of good food."

FISCHL  PROBABLY  SHOULDN'T  be  walking  across  rooftops  in  an  unknown  location,  but  she  did  always  say  that  a  birds-eye-view  was  the  best  way  to  catch  your  bearings.  the  hustle  and  bustle  below  doesn't  deter  her,  but  she  takes  note  of  the  citizens,  many  of  their  features  not  quite  human,  yet  no  one  bats  an  eye.  she  casts  her  own  eye  on  the  vendors  in  the  streets  below,  watching  them  sell  their  wares  and  bargain  for  a  while.

she  leaves  the  rooftop  eventually,  climbing  onto  a  low  slanted  roof  and  jumping  onto  the  building's  front  steps  just  as  her  stomach  rumbles.  ❝  perhaps  i  ought  to  ensure  my  continued  health  and  nutrition  before  venturing  further  into  this  new  and  powerful  world, ❞  she  muses  aloud,  though  immediately  closes  her  mouth.  there  are  many  people  around.

azula rolled her eyes at the comment. it was true, they could have come from ivy cove like her. "well then he still deserved it then for being a man." usually people didn't go around just hitting people for no reason. even she didn't do that.

.｡.:*☆ "Sort of, yeah," Catra nodded, eyeing the other female, not sure yet what to think of her. The attitude reminded her of her time with the Horde. And that was not really something Catra was fond of remembering.

"But, how do you know what place he was coming from? Mean, you have not even seen him, have you?"

[signcfthetiimes]

marcus honestly found it a little cruel to be ripped apart from abby again after reuniting so soon. but he had been doing his best to make a new life in this new place, considering he didn't know when, or if at all he would return to ivy cove. "hmm?" he let out at the other's warning. "someone should clean it then, else they get hurt." marcus didn't know if it was the other who caused the mess or not, so didn't want to accuse at all.

TIM  GLARES  AT  the  abandoned  bottle  he  is  moving.  he  isn't  waving  it  around,  not  even  touching  it  all,  simply  testing  out  this  new  ability  that  he  has  never  been  able  to  do  before.  something  he  isn't  supposed  to  do.  he  isn't  a  meta,  after  all,  or  an  alien,  or  even  a  witch.  yet  here  he  is.

with  a  sigh,  he  lets  the  bottle  fall  to  the  ground,  letting  it  smash  at  his  feet.  ❝ raven  always  did  this  telekinesis  thing  better, ❞  he  mutters.  at  the  sound  of  footsteps,  he  raises  his  voice,  if  only  slightly.  ❝ careful,  there's  glass  on  the  ground. ❞

the way the other spoke reminded sam of lara. it was similar to something she would say. "i did know that," she responded. she had spent hours pouring over different documents in their research of yamatai. sam leaned to look at the object the other was holding. "that is interesting. do you know what it is?"

@signcfthetiimes (Susan & anyone (In Volantis))

Susan was examining a small trinket she purchased from a shop stand in the center of town. Her eyes looking toward the other. "Did you know you can tell so much about a culture from their art." She admitted honestly. "Art is the most beautiful way to learn about those around you." She explained, "See, look at the intricate design within the wood here. I wonder what it says."

[signcfthetiimes]

"and so what if they do?" loki questioned. "if it's your signature colour, seems like you already own it, so why care?" it was a bit much to loki himself, but they also often used to over do it with the green. but at least that was more muted than yellow.

heather & loki || @signcfthetiimes

"do you think people here will have an issue with the yellow attire?" heather questioned, pulling the blonde hair back off of her face and placing it into a yellow scrunchie. "because i'll be honest i refuse to wear anything that isn't my signature colour."

[signcfthetiimes]

"i don't have any specific questions," aerea said. mostly she had just wanted to explore on her own, but apparently that wasn't possible. "just want to know what this place is. seems it's all anyone talks about here, so it must be pretty important. not that it looks it at all." pretty unimpressive, in all honesty.

Depa let out a soft chuckle at the others comment. "We don't truly offer tours, not on Coruscant at least." In Ivy Cove they had, but here the Temple had simply been their home. Nothing special, just a comfortable place to rest their head. "Perhaps though I could answer any questions you might have of this place."
