[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...

no subject
Her gaze roams over the crowd intently, seeking--though, she's not exactly sure what she's looking for. A familiar face? Voice? She doesn't know.
Until she hears a voice coming from behind her.
She turns slowly, her eyes wide and concerned at the same time.
"Al'amar?" she asks cautiously.
no subject
And now she was face to face with one of them.
She approaches slowly, cautiously, as if this might be a trick, a trap, not something really happening.
"It's you right?"
no subject
The words freeze on the ninja's tongue as the woman approaches, her wariness almost palpable.
Reeling in her curiosity, Sheena nods and offers a friendly smile.
"Yes, it's me. I'm Sheena. Sheena Fujibayashi."
no subject
"I couldn't be sure you were real," she admits. "Or that you'd still have been here by the time we got back, not all Dreamfolk stay around for so many years."
no subject
"I know how you feel," the ninja replies. "At first, I thought they were--- What? What do you mean, 'so many years'? Al'amar, how long ago did this happen?" Sheena asks, her concern for the other woman visibly deepening.

"Al'amar, I think we'd better find a quiet place to sit down," she says in a quiet voice so she doesn't alarm the woman. "I have something to tell you, and I don't think you'll want to be standing when I do."
