Origin Star Finale: Session 2

[fairwind]

Who: explorers
When: Day 54, noon
Where: The Final Island

[At nearly noon, Thyme's airship returns from the island with the first session's explorers. Everyone receives a chain message:

Time for round two. If you want to go, gather up.

Those who wish to go looking for the second totem can now board the airship. It waits around 20 minutes -- long enough for a quick break for those who are going twice in a row -- but then heads off again with its new crew. Along the way, everyone gets a lecture:]

Okay, for everyone who missed it the last time, here are the rules:

You're not looking for a monster to beat up. You're looking for a totem, that you'll have to deactivate by showing positive emotions. Any creatures you meet on the way can also be beaten with good feelings. Some can be killed, but that's not purifying the soul, so try to avoid it.

[When you arrive, it's at a damp sea cave. The airship hovers over the water, leaving you access to the only viable ground -- a narrow, salt-crusted stairway leading up into a tower.]

[ sounds like it.

maybe she should take a. . . very different approach here. ]

And what do you think being left alone will accomplish, huh? You're just going to wallow in your tears? That won't bring anyone back! That won't help anyone-- and honestly, do you really believe that doing this is worth what happened to everyone?

To your friend?

[ she does realize that this MIGHT antagonize the flower, but sometimes you gotta play the role of a villain in order to get things into their thick skull because simply empathizing with them and trying to help won't work. ]

[--Well that's rude!! But it does seem to work a bit!]

To... Briar...?

[The flower pauses in its fussing, holding still long enough for Solar to do her Thing...

And you successfully clear the mission. And also gain some cargo.]
