[EVENT] THE FOG COMES - Ship's Return
Characters: ALL
Date: July 10
Location: Aifaran Harbour
Situation: The Narrakra has returned, but those aboard are not the same as when they left...
Warnings/Rating: Creepy descriptions of things?
The night of the Narrakra's return, fog poured into Aifaran's harbour. It was thick, soupy and cloying in the summer heat, swirling and shifting with every change in the air, but never dissipating. Many Dreamfolk may feel heavy tension in the air, an eerie stillness about the night that seems unnervingly familiar. But beyond the occasional, inexplicable power outage, nothing seems to be otherwise amiss.
The Narrakra limps into the dockyard port on a single engine in the early hours of the 10th, steering itself erratically toward the nearest berth. The dock workers, having not expected to see a Sentry ship sliding out of the pea-soup fog, are quick to raise the alarm, which is hurriedly passed to a runner to bring to the nearest Sentry outpost. Heavy pylons keep the Narrakra from outright running into the dock itself, as the engine sputters and dies, leaving the ship without steering.
The ship itself is in poor condition, metal hull dented and scarred as if it had been in combat with some great sea beast. Deep gouges, like something had hurled sharp points into the metal sides and pulled, some even deep enough that glimpses of the hull's structural support can be seen. In other places on the exterior, what appears to be an advanced stage of corrosion and rust have affected sections of the ship, but not in any uniform way. A handrail might be corroded to the point of the metal disintegrating at a touch, but the stairwell next to it still gleaming as if it had just been put into place.
---
OOC Notes: This is the culmination event for the Ships in the Night plot that's been ongoing for the last few months, although the outcome will play into future metaplot. Characters can witness the Narrakra's not-so-triumphant return at the docks, speculate on where it's been and what could have caused its disappearance, question the crew (if they can get past the Sentry), or sneak aboard the ship to do some reconnaissance and potentially find things...

"Your 'aunt' was asking after you. I found myself wondering whether you would make it back," they admit, glancing back towards the crowd. Living things don't so much have the luxury of being repaired the way their own kind does. "Is there much you remember?"
no subject
He fixes Padparadscha with a faintly puzzled look at their question. "I remember... most all of it," he answered. "That's not the problem, it's just... I wasn't sure what was real. I'm still not. Am I really here or is this another hallucination?"
no subject
They'd dreamed of each other, true enough, but that was different - some kind of link, maybe through the Dreaming. An actual hallucination, as far as they're familiar with them from what happened with the bugs, would be a very different beast.
"How's your leg, by the way?"
no subject
"It's here- it's... fine. Right now."
That could change any moment now though, and he was looking at it in silence, watching, waiting for it to be anything else.
"Maybe this is real," he says. "It feels more stable."
no subject
"I would hope so," they say, tone still on the side of casual. There's no need to trouble the boy any further than they need to, but there are certain things that would be useful to know still. "How long was it you were gone?"
Whether it was the same for them is difficult to tell from the dreams alone, after all.
no subject
"It was harder to keep track after we left the ship," he said. "But... nine or ten years, I think."
no subject
"I see. It had only been two months for us...perhaps that's why the visions appeared so disjointed to those here," they muse, glancing back towards the shore where other Dreamfolk are almost certainly attempting to find those they shared visions with.
no subject
"No, we didn't even leave the ship for the first three months, and the island was... we tried to keep track by the seasons at first, because Eitria couldn't find the stars, but... it was definitely years."
no subject
"But you have been brought back only months after you initially vanished from the perspective of the people here. It is an unusual circumstance, but so are many things in this world."
