[After Rey's post went places, Clarke has decided that separating any New Oslo planning would be a good idea. Thus: this. It's hard for her to know who all is hoping to come, but Wei Wuxian's efforts to get a list is a good idea.
She'll follow that.
But first things first.]
So, New Oslo. I've been looking into it for a while, but I've had some false starts in getting it going. There's a lot on my plate. I'm not making excuses. That's just how it is. But what we're going to find there is important.
Now, I've said this and I've even had Caroline Caldwell revise what she added to her first aid offers: we don't know what awaits us in New Oslo. At least with Mt. Everest, we have some ideas of the gear we'll need. But New Oslo? Who knows. All we do know, thanks to Rey's talks with Ball, is that these gates have been kicking around for a while. You want to know what else I learned? New Oslo makes up an entire island, what apparently remains of Norway. That wasn't an island before. It is now.
The good news is that New Oslo is a popular tourist destination. It's unique. Large parts of the city are submerged underwater, so my hope is that we won't have to go diving. It's cold. There are natural bits of heating in place, but the time of the season and the location means it's … cold. Again. If you're hoping to avoid the chill of Everest, this isn't the place to go.
Everything above sea level is a large, green flowing bit of land. It's like a park and while you can visit it, no one lives there. Everyone lives below the park, under the sea level and thus in the underground portion of the city. Make sure to grab some vitamin D supplements before you take the train.
The city isn't as populated as New Amsterdam or New Beijing. That's good, though "a million people" still sounds like a lot to me.
All that laid out, I've got some hunches on what we might need. I'm hoping that we won't need diving equipment. I'm hoping that we won't need a boat. But if you know how to handle either of these things well, let us know.
Otherwise, apart from the part of the city that's literally in the ocean, I'm guessing we're going to be dealing in cave systems at the heart of the city. If heart's the right way to look at it. We got coordinates to the center of a city, but looking at map applications, that's just the general point people would be brought to from the start.
Anyway, please reply to let everyone know you're doing New Oslo, as well as what skills you have to offer and what you might make of the information I've provided.
She'll follow that.
