The recruiter's name is "Kapatas". The stone is called "Vasic". Quote:
Kapatas is wearing some around his neck, but this is a smooth polished disk, with a set of geometrically engraved markings. Its set in a fitting, not pierced. Quote:
He walks Julian down the hall a little more, and then opens a door. There is a mining operation of sorts. The door is on the other side of the hall from almost everything else, and immediately descends down into a large wooden chamber. A passage on the ground level is large enough for carts of earth standing around to be wheeled eight ladders lead up into holes in the cliff face. Men are passing buckets of earth slowly out of the holes. Julian is pointed to someone else named "Kapatas". A very short, very wide bald fellow with a huge beard, nose, and brow. They exchanged words breifly, and then the new kapatas gives instructions. Which seem to be go up a hole, take two lefts and one right, and bring back rock others chip away. He's then handed one of the glowing stones with the "divot" in it.

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Well I suppose Julian has written off heading into the vegetation tunnel as worse (no outdoorsy skills), up seems dangerous for little gain, and down seems more so.

Any indication as to what they're doing with all this dirt? Dumping it on some poor sod on below the clouds maybe? Quote:
Well, I'll give it a closer look/feel. How is it shaped? Is it rough or smooth? Does light always project in the same direction or can I direct it like a flashlight? Is there any waste heat/sound etc. Last edited by TGLS; 02-22-2022 at 03:26 PM. |

He crawls on his hands and knees, and then sees a kid coming down the tunnel towards him backwards. The kid pushes a basket of earth behind him, and then turns and goes the other way. Quote:
OCC: where is the panic attacks disadvantage from? what does it do?

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Other kinds of rock?

So with glowy stone in one hand, book in the other, I'm pushing along a basket full of rocks and dirt. For what might be a pittance. Hopefully I get to stop before I collapse from exhaustion. Quote:

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
For the most part, yes. Its mostly a soft (ish) limestone and associated grit with it. Its pretty wet. Chunks of the black stone come back occasionally as well.

I guess that makes quitting time; I add my glowing stone to the basket and push the basket the rest of the way out. Once I get out I'll adjust myself (vine probably doesn't stay in place too well and follow the next person who leaves the narrow tunnel. If from the entrance: I guess these rocks eventually lose power... I'll take a replacement, push the basket up, and compare to see if there's any difference between their lighting. Well claustrophobia's not on the sheet or in the backstory. Public humiliation, beatings, tubes down the throat? Yup. Not tight spaces. |

Julian pulls out of the tunnel, and watches the other boys come out as well. The last boy to come out is a man, but a very short man with a miner's pick, much like the "Kapatas" who gave him instructions... and now gives him what he assumes is his "pittance"... four metal coins, made of what he thinks might be copper.

Well I'll buy one and if it isn't too busy I'll ask if he knows where he can buy clothes (like by miming out putting on pants and pointing at the money.) I'll start eating pretty much immediately after the wrap gets into my hands. It's been so long since I've had warm food... |
