Harvestmere Rifter Arrival

WHO: New rifters & their rescuers
WHAT: People fall out of a rift and get attacked by stuff… in the desert!
WHEN: Harvestmere 10
WHERE: The Western Approach
NOTES: The arrival log is open to all. Solas was able to alert the Inquisition to the general area where the new rifters would be arriving so people could be sent to pick them up.


You were asleep--deeply or fitfully, for the last time or just resting your eyes for a moment-- and then you were not. And wherever you were was not, anymore, replaced by nothing but the sensation of falling, tumbling into endless, bottomless nothing. If this were still a dream, you would wake before you hit the ground. You can't die in a dream, they say. In some worlds.

In this world, you wake with a jolt when you hit rock or sand or wooden planks--you've been dropped into a narrow canyon, into the rocky orange sand at the floor or onto the rickety scaffolding along the steep wall. Judging by the heat, somewhere above is a bright and unforgiving sun, but view of the sky overhead is blocked by a flaring green rip in reality. There's a narrow splinter of light in the same sickly green as whatever brought you here, now glowing out of the palm of your left hand. It aches, a bone-deep pain that gnaws even through all the distractions.

The way ahead is blocked, too, by a monstrous, horned beast with too many eyes and electricity rippling down its arms: a pride demon with a very off-putting laugh. The only quick way out is up. The ladders and scaffolding and narrow bridges across the gorge have demons, too, but only smaller shades and wraiths. Your chances are better up there--you and the people you arrived with, four altogether, collectively less dangerous-looking than the demon.

Along the way, the planks are littered with debris: crustaceans, skateboards, crustaceans on skateboards, a cyvasse piece, a dagger, a set of bloody and very sharp canine teeth. And an enormous, moving, roaring tiger made of something green, translucent, slightly bouncy, and fruity smelling. The tiger has a rider, at least briefly, clad in a crinkly white suit and rounded helmet. It also has saddle bags, which are full of donuts if anyone is able to get close enough to check without getting swiped by a giant paw, claws sticking out through the ends of pink bunny slippers.

And at the top of the canyon walls, there's help--armed, armored help--already making its way down to meet you.

He pressed his mouth together, confusion again flashing through his blue eyes. This one was slightly less terrifying, however, than the creature below them, but only slightly less.

"I am ... I promise, Sansa. I will ... tell you whatever you wish."

"Good. It has been a long time," she says, giving him a tight smile. "And much has happened to me. I imagine it's been the same for you, too, and it will be good to speak with a friend again. It's been a long time since I've talked to anyone I knew in King's Landing."

Her smile grows but only a little. "I saw my brother Jon again."

"Yes ... yes it has. Months. Almost ... well. Almost a year now, if I were to guess." A friend? Well, they had been getting there, friends who could depend on one another. Inbetween his stabs of lust and his family heartlessly murdering her own.

Something in his chest surged, bastard, you live yet, before he exhaled slowly. "I want to hear all about this -- once we aren't getting hunted by horrors."
theladyofwinterfell: (and there you go)

"Yes, exactly," Sansa agrees. "I just thought you'd want to know that I lived," she says. "And that I made it to Jon."

Not in the condition that he'd seen her last, no, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that she survived and she'd made it north again to Winterfell along with Jon and they are the last Starks in their ancient seat once again.

"I am relieved to hear, and to see." He crooked a smile at her, before he bowed deeply at her, "As you can see, I am also alive. In mostly one piece."
theladyofwinterfell: (but i can't find you)

"I am grateful, my lord," Sansa says, her own little smile firmly in evidence. She never wants him to think she is anything but grateful, considering how he protected her when he did not have to.

"I am glad."
