Hi everyone. So with potential talk about traveling more, we might want to consider whether it will be worthwhile to create more gates with the places we go to. In order to do that we need relics. We do currently have enough (gates need four) to jump around, I know several of us have them, but it is possible that there are more in the ruins that people didn't pick up when we opened the first gates. It's sort of a 'the more the merrier' in case of emergency with them.

Info: the relics started out seeming normal and then a few days later glowing. They glow when a Displaced holds them, so we will eventually figure out which ones work. Any of us can hold them, it's not like they bind themselves to one of us. The relics were able to help during the monster attack by keeping the mind control/monster turning from happening. So they're helpful outside of the gates, but the gates are the main purpose.

Anyway, I was thinking of going on a quick expedition back to the four locations of the ruins and searching to see if there are more relics we can scoop up. If there are people here who want to come see them for the first time and see if a relic reacts to them, they're welcome to. I'm not sure if there's a one-relic one-person rule, I know that I picked up a bunch of relics and only one of them worked, so take that with a grain of salt. I was thinking maybe in a few days? So people can think about it and our newcomers to be a part of it if they want. We can start with Mt. Everest and then go over to New Oslo, New Cairo, and New Rio de Janeiro.

PS (I know I know shut up Q): Those of us who already have relics might want to make sure it is known to close friends that if they are sent back, their relic should be brought to Red Wings so they may be used by us in the future! I inherited my extra ones that way. I am also happy to show people how to use the gates themselves during this and how to close them. Okay I'm stopping now! Sound out in the comments.


Edited to add: I'm going to scout first to see if the yellow-eyed creatures are down there, because I don't want to put anyone at risk. I'll update if it seems questionable.

i'm dick grayson, but not either of the two that have been here before.
multiverse headaches, right? nice to meet some of you again, but i'll cut to the chase.

a lot of people need help, and the infrastructure is a wreck. i've been trying to catch up as much as i can on how things usually go around here. it sounds like you've helped during disasters before, so i'm looking to see who wants to help again.

things are chaotic, and i know most of you are probably still trying to recover after what happened. i can take point if it's needed, with organizing if nothing else. i know i'm new, so i don't blame anyone who might not trust me. i'm just trying to take some of the load off. i'm a former cop, and i have experience working in disasters like this.

well, as close to this as you can get, anyway.


[Which is only partially the truth but, hey! Oh well!]

so, let's get organized. start with a headcount of who's back, who can help, what areas are in the worst shape and what needs aren't being met, whether that means natives or displaced.
