Hello, everyone. There are a lot of new faces around the safe house so I'm going to try to make sure to catch you up as best I can. Insomniac Ball, a city organizer and apparent leader of the religious group that have painted shrines to us throughout the city since we fought those creatures, gave us the locations to something he called “gates.” ([Bad username or site: Loki @ Odinson] and I posted more about this group HERE if you want more information.) Ball claims the gates will prove something about the blue light in our chests, tell us why his people have been worshipping us.

Whether that's true or not, it seems safe to say that discovering what's there will give us more information on what was done to us, how it works, and maybe even how it's limiting the powers some of us used to have access to.

That's why Wei and I have been working on a way to get to them, and we want everyone together on it. The two most promising locations are Mt. Everest and New Oslo.


[Bad username or site: xuanyo @ mo]
Hi, I'm "Wei"! That's me, surprise! My countrymen and I spent our time in New Beijing looking into how to get to and from Mt. Everest without setting off alarms, and we think we're at least able to offer you all some idea of what the trek to the gate will look like.

I don't suggest that anybody who isn't extremely physically fit undertake the journey to Mt. Everest - a lot of people have died in the past on that climb in the past. That doesn't mean we don't need your help. Those going to Mt. Everest will travel under the disguise of eco-tourists creating art, music and more on social media to bring attention to the new, green wonders of the world and the need to preserve and maintain them. If you have connections that will support our disguise or get us a good boat that won't sink, we'd be happy for them.

Yes, I said boat! Travel after arrival to New Beijing will be along the rivers by boat, so this is an extended trip - make sure your jobs are flexible if you want to come. The boat is the cheapest option for this trip in particular. Knowing that, we could really use people good at fundraising and awareness-raising for the other two trips we'll need to go on. Even if you're not interested in making the physical journey, your help and ideas would be appreciated.

Right, because we’d like to do this again with the other gates once we know what’s waiting at these.

Those who aren’t able to make the trek up Everest can go to the New Oslo location under a different banner. The city is easily accessible by train. For Everest, it sounds like we’ll need food, camping and climbing supplies, and maybe even oxygen tanks in addition to the train tickets. It’ll be a long hike.

I’d like us to get moving in the next couple of weeks. If you can help, or if you want to make the trip with us, we should start making arrangements now.


[ ooc; This IC invitation ties in with the January plot! Further event information is in the calendar, including when to expect an OOC info post. As stated, Rey and Wei Wuxian do not have more information currently about New Oslo, so feel free to have your characters search more about that up on the questions part of the OOC post. ]

I know I'm new, but I would be interested in joining the group headed to Mt. Everest. I've been trained in outdoor survival, including in high altitudes and cold weather conditions, and first aid.

Oxygen tanks will definitely be needed.
In theory, the climb could be accomplished without it but if even seasoned climbers baulk at it we shouldn't be taking any undue risks.


( hello, yes, he's here for this. )

I don't have the full formal training of a medic, but I can get people patched up.

I've heard that too. Even experienced mountain climbers die up there all the time. So know I am taking this very seriously.


[But also, she really wants to climb Mt. Everest.]

I work at a local art gallery, and I'm certain I could convince the owner to send me along to secure first claim on any pieces that would fit with the collection. I may also be able to talk them into donating supplies.

Everest is ambitious. I've heard it's cold this time of year.

New Oslo was the location handed to me, so I'm planning on going. I've just had my hands full.

We might want to see if there are any landmarks around Mt. Everest in case you can skip the climb.

[That's totally possible, right?]

It's okay, someone will hold your hands to keep them warm.

That is, if we DO have to climb the mountain.

It IS a protected location. There is likely some manner of encampment or facility at the foot of it that we'll have to stop at.

I really, really want to climb the mountain - even still!

Thank you for supporting our efforts.

[ it's more directed at rey and those who are inclined to join in, but: ]

What Wei Ying says is true. You will need great experience if you wish to climb.

OH! YES! That's a very good idea, and wouldn't it be a pleasure to create some very lovely pieces for you to return triumphantly with. I want this to be as legitimate as possible, not just to protect us, but to bring awareness to the splendors of the world. If you want, I'm sure we could "negotiate exclusive rights" and everything.
