(Day 1) ==> Lyndis: Enter.
Your name is LYNDIS NIVALI, and you are decidedly ON EDGE.
Waiting so long for your fellow players to get into the GAME WORLD (whatever it is) before you has played hell on your nerves. You are THIRD TO LAST, and the meteors have been FUCKING SHIT UP more and more as you wait. There's so much DUST and SMOKE in the air that you can barely see the stars anymore, even with as far away from the NEAREST CITY as you are.
The horizon in the direction of said city is GLOWING RED. You're pretty sure what parts of the city haven't been COMPLETELY ANNIHILATED are currently ON FIRE.
You occasionally feel EARTHQUAKES, which you are aware are actually METEOR STRIKES. There have been a number of ROCKSLIDES on nearby cliffs, and even one some distance away on your own. So that's yet another thing to worry about, as if YOU DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH.
At least you got IOCIDE into the game. If you do die, at least you will have accomplished ONE USEFUL THING in your entire meaningless life. That the accomplishment in question is SAVING THE LIFE OF A HIGHLY UNSTABLE AND VIOLENT HIGHBLOOD is so fucking ironic you would almost laugh if your throat weren't so dry.
Still, you've managed to SURVIVE for this long, and finally it seems to be your turn in the ENTRY ORDER. A certain seadweller is setting up his SERVER PROGRAM even now; your CLIENT PROGRAM is already running on your husktop. All that remains is for him to CONNECT.
And for you to ENTER THE GAME without dying horribly.
Since you're waiting around with nothing to do anyway, you decide to MAKE A MEMO.
artfulTransgressor [AT] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board status update.
AT: so for anyone who hasnt heard
AT: or whos already in the game and has missed this beautiful hellpocalypse
AT: alternia is seriously going to shit
AT: i haVent eVen been too near any direct meteor strikes
AT: and theres nothing but rocks out here so i dont haVe any fires going on either
AT: and shits STILL bad
AT: you can barely breathe anymore
AT: too much shit in the air
AT: smoke and ash and dust from the impacts
AT: i cant eVen imagine the hellpits the cities must be
AT: more and more rockslides are happening out here though
AT: the earthquakes are setting em off
AT: so if you could hurry the fuck up adelle thatd be fucking loVely
AT: id almost rather be hit by a meteor than buried aliVe
After much consternation, you acquire a CRUXITE GEODE. Which, of course, to your eyes just basically looks like a ROCK. It's just as well that SMASHING it to reveal its CRYSTAL INTERIOR is exactly what you're supposed to do, because flinging it at the wall of your cave at full force was HIGHLY THERAPEUTIC.
And then...
You find yourself in the LAND OF CLIFFS AND CONCRETE. Oddly, it doesn't look much different from the part of Alternia that you came from...save that there appear to be CLIFFS and RUINED HIVES very similar to your own dotting the barren landscape. Both your own cliff and ruined hive at the base of it were apparently brought with you.
The other difference is that it is very blatantly DAYTIME...and you're out in the sun. Shockingly, you're not being FRIED TO A CRISP; you're merely uncomfortably hot. Clearly the game world is not much like Alternia.
AT: holy
AT: shit
(OOC: Lyn can be contacted anytime before, during, or after his entry to the Medium!Though there will be a period of ten minutes or so immediately following his entry where he won't be able to be contacted. In particular, his coordinating the details of his entry with Adelle will be happening in the comments~)

The reminder of how close you are to horrific death gets you moving. You scoop up the dowel and manage to get it into the lathe on the second try; your hands are shaking more than a little.
Your sprite - whatever he is - appears to be simply floating out on the ledge by the cruxtruder, doing absolutely nothing of value, but you'd swear you can feel his gaze even with solid rock between you.

You're just a little anxious, really.
no subject
As soon as you have your dowel - which looks a little disturbingly phallic - you bolt with it straight for the alchemiter. Holy shit, you're not going to have enough time...
you better be talking to whoevers next on the list adelle
Now your quirk is gone, too.
Be prepared to break the artifact, Lyndis.
HOW IS HE SUDDENLY HANGING RIGHT OVER YOUR SHOULDER
But the alchemiter is already working. It produces a massive, beige-colored stone, and off of it tumbles a smaller rock. Then the larger stone vanishes, leaving you with...
...what looks like a plain rock.
This is supposed to save your life?
Stop staring at it and moVe, you imbecile.
It's at that point - with about three seconds left on the timer, and counting down - that you whirl and chuck the rock straight at your asshole sprite, who vanishes. The rock hits the wall, falls to the floor, and cracks open, and for one second you see the crystal lining inside -
And then everything goes white. Your name simultaneously drops from Trollian.
