JOURNEY TO THE MAW'S CRYSTAL CAVES

At this point, news had been spreading about the flowers- the ones that only grew near crystals in the Maw, that they were what Seek had used on Nova City back in January, even though they were Fayren-native. Those who have made it this far to The Maw and searched for some time will finally find themselves at a cave, deep within. The only light there is whatever they brought with them and the bioluminescent glow of some crystals and fungus within the cave- certainly not enough to guide the way without your own source.

Once the expedition party is deep enough into the caves, they'll likely notice that the crystals have shifted behind them and cut off the way that they've come in. They have to go somewhat deep into the crystals to get to the patch of flowers they’re looking for, a veritable field of them. Most of the crystals are white or a pale lavender in color, and once in deeply enough it will become clear that the crystals have been enchanted as they rapidly spike up from their spots on the walls and cut off the entrance, regrowing just as rapidly if broken. A character may be able to get out if they have teleportation or phasing abilities, but they will not be able to bring other characters with them.

The only choice is to go deeper, and some who do will begin to find crystals that look a little different- refined, not bound to the enchanted white and lavender ones, and they’re a vibrant green in color. Careful though- spirits still lurk around certain corners, and with the low light and the Maw's nature.. well, you may want to stick close to someone else. Those aren't the only monsters down there.

DIRECTIONS:
-If you were RNG'd to receive a green crystal, you received a notification last night. Reply with a top-level to this post to receive the content of that crystal. If you do not post a top level by the 17th, your memory crystal will get rerolled to go to someone else who has already posted a top level. The mod NPC account will reply to your post with the memory crystal contents so you will not have any way to receive them unless you reply to the main post. Crystal finders: Cassian Andor, Koishi Komeiji, Link, Kamille "Mobius" Rainer, Belle, and Major Lilywhite.

-Regardless of whether you were RNG'd, anyone who replies with at least 5 comments by July 4th will receive a Fayren charm.

-If you are one of the four people who get to participate in capture, feel free to assume that your person got separated from their group and ended up finding the other three who did as well. That way you can still have main threads with whatever group your character came in if you'd like while we can limit the thread to a semi-reasonable amount of people for a single thread because 5 people in a single thread is already a lot and we do want to make sure that this thread is completed. A specific thread for this will be posted in reply to this post for each of those who joined in to participate. Once again, if you do not reply by the 17th, you will just have your character dropped from the discovery so that we can move on. Because this is an active thread and not just an info drop, the role will not be replaced unless all four characters do not participate.

-Just replying may also give you a chance encounter for other neat stuff in the Maw. A mod may reply with something fun to interact with if it looks like your thread is active based on a daily RNG through the 17th.

-Please feel free to assume that characters eventually find a second way out. They can also take samples of anything they want with them- flowers, crystals, rocks, whatever they may find. If your character wants to do something with something they took, please ask a mod what they'll find out and include the method they are trying to analyze it with. (If you just say 'analyze it' that's not going to tell us whether you'll find something out- if your character says they're looking at something under a microscope or that they're running a test for something specific, however, the mods are more than happy to answer if there's relevant information that your character can discover.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It's probably the main one. For some people, they have an addiction to it. True fact.

Some people enjoy it with their special someone or... just like to shag anything that moves.

But I'm sure you aware the main purpose of sex, right?

Addiction? What makes sex so great?

[Give him the talk, Krista, why not.]

Well, biologically speaking, it is reproduction and continuation of the species. But I know that most people aren't particularly interested in that.

I don't know, I just know someone who really, really enjoys sex. I guess it's the feeling she gets when being intimate. Not that I honestly know.

[She always thought her friend enjoyed sex too much and a little too dangerously sometimes...And her other friend was at least better about it, but simply did it to use people.]

Yeah, most people aren't for one reason or another. Some people wait until they are stable.

Ah. [Intimacy is not somethign Kay gets very often but probably that's why he can udnerstand its importance.]I think I get it now. It's nice to be close to someone. You don't have any person here you would like to get close to?

Where I come from, because of the war, a lot of couples decide not to have children. The world we live in, under the EMpire's regime, it's not a very prosper one.

No, my mother was very picky about who I could even date and I never really thought of anyone in that way. If that makes sense.

[Didn't mean she didn't like how people looked. She just never saw someone who she could see go further.]

That makes sense. I mean something like that wouldn't be something I would bring a child into.

she isn't here to policy your private life anymore, though, so there's that. If you...are ever interested in that. Not everyone is.

[He knows that much. Cassian doesn't seem to have a lot of interests in people or a sec drive.]

And no one could fault you. We don't see many children in this world either, or women expecting.

Oh, no pretty sure I am interested. Just... gotta explore that shit, you know.

[She paused for a moment.]

I assume you mean the not natives?

In that case, have fun and good luck with the exploring.

[Kay nods.]

Will do... But first exploring this whole thing and so far we seem to be coming up extremely empty.

[She sighed slightly.]

We should think about heading back soon.

Ah, yes good point. I don't think we will find anything useful here, better turn back already and start looking somewhere else.

[Kay looks around one last time, making sure no spirits or other sneaky monsters are around before motioning for Krista to lead the way.,]

[ooc:we coudl end this here? Seems like a good place :3]
