this magic is tragic (part II)

(Partially roleplay, still partially just baffling. Continued from part one.)

All right. We're all here. What's up?

[14:51] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): ok. so.
[14:51] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): watch this.
[14:51] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): watching?
[14:52] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Yep.

And she walked to the far end of the deck, and fell through the floor. What?

[14:52] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): EVERY DECK.
[14:52] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): in that spot.
[14:52] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): That has never happened before.....
[14:52] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): WTF
[14:52] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): is NOT SOLID
[14:52] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): i know!
[14:52] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): i don't know what happened.
[14:53] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): but it's been like that since the Gray Area returned.
[14:53] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): from wherever it was.

So I walked to where she'd been when she disappeared...and fell through the floor, all decks, out the bottom side, and hit the sea floor below. WHAT?

All right, there had to be a reason for this. I swam up, and then hovered, slowly rising, and...figured it out.

[14:53] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): I see the issue!
[14:53] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): you do?
[14:53] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): And...it's weird
[14:53] Captain Lackbeard (araseagas): Grey Area?
[14:53] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): so yeah. Rusty and Thomas,
[14:53] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): That's this airship
[14:53] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): The Gray Area
[14:53] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): this is the ship the duke was on
[14:53] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Our other big fleet ship, the one with heavier armament, is the Grown-Up Conversation
[14:53] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): when he went missing
[14:54] Captain Lackbeard (araseagas): Oh yes, I'm following
[14:54] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): the grown up conversation is more a space ship, rather than an air ship like this one, right E
milly?
[14:54] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): True
[14:54] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): It's future, not past
[14:54] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): So
[14:54] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): i think we need to get Rusty a pirate uniform.

I mean, don't get me wrong, he's dashing in the white suit, but he'd probably be quite dapper in a frock coat, too.

[14:54] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): here's what we're dealing with, and AMUSINGLY, only the Duke can fix it
[14:55] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): great.

[14:55] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): This we're on? This metal plating?
[14:55] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): yes.
[14:55] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): it's a texture. Bet me the entire thing is phantom
[14:55] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): And that's fine, because we're technically 'walking' on the metal prims underneath
[14:55] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): But that bit over there?
[14:55] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): The prims underneath are gone
[14:55] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): All the way down

[14:55] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): wow.
[14:55] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): HOW?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

[14:56] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): i'm wondering if this is a side effect of ... the accident.
[14:56] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): I'd virtually guarantee it
[14:56] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): the whatever-happened.
[14:56] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): right. ok.

[14:56] Justine (justinejohndory.amethyst): well. we need to sort this out, then don't we.
[14:59] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): That's tricky

[14:59] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): That one section, all the floors are just...gone
14:59] RoseDrop Rust: and thus the ceilings and bulkhead
[14:59] Emilly Shatner-Orr (emilly.orr): Right

So, add that to the list of things that need doing.

• Finish terraforming the sim.
• Open the portal to Carcosa, and get the Mystic and the castle set up there.
• Finish planting things in the garden.
• Finish fixing up the Ocean Club.
• Pull the space station over from Oceanpoint to Gearhaven.
• Track down the flickering of eldritch energy I've been picking up in the house.
• Finish making the decorating changes we'd planned in Steam.

Oh, and:

• Find the Duke.

Suuuuuure.
