[ Hopefully everyone had fun on the Arco Lunar! The morning after the boat departs from the docks, a letter arrives to your mailbox: ]

Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi

[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]

Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]

( This is the ill-fated mass extinction memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

[It's a tight corner they've been backed into, a worst case scenario. But they're saved, and Otegine finds himself both relieved and oddly uneasy at his would-be savior.

Who... is Taimi? And who is this? He feels the recognition, the weird swirl of emotion that comes with it. But this is... awkward.]

Braham. What are you doing here?

Real GW2 spoiler territory now

[chronosynthesis]

[What is he doing here? You find it hard to keep your gaze on him when you see his terse glare in return--perhaps it's your fault, the separation between you know (even though it still stings to remember the things he said). You had not been calm-headed and responsible in the face of your grief (you were grieving too).

But the conversation continues, even as your thoughts continue to pull back to the past.

"We chased whatever these things are through some portals. Trying to see where they're coming from."

"Wait— What portals?"

"Isn't that why you're here? Portals have started popping up all over Tyria and spitting out these...things."

"Joko's forces are in Tyria?"

"If these shambling rot-piles are his, then yeah— Tyria's teeming with them. But if you're not here for the portals..."

"We're here to rescue Taimi from Joko."

"You let this Joko character take Taimi?!"

"No one "lets" Joko do anything. He takes what he wants."

"Who's this guy?"

"I am Zaeim, Spearmarshal of the Sunspears."

"So first you put Jormag to sleep with that blasted machine—"

"Enough!"

Rytlock's final demand shakes you no matter what, and you find your voice again.] Taimi's in danger. Anyone who wants to save her can come with me.

[Your tone is firm. Statement, final. Even Braham, for as much as he clearly doesn't want to be under your lead again, relents. For Taimi's sake.

You still need to find where she's being kept. And fast.]
