Well she's definitely not doing the latter yet. Though they should probably find out where they will be sleeping.

Permalink

"I gave you two bunks in one of the tents - we can throw together something a bit nicer if you need it, but proper living areas for everyone are probably going to have to wait a day or two."

Permalink

They have no opposition to bunks in tents.

Is he also off to sleep? Does he want anything from them?

Permalink

"I think we're in a much better position than we were expecting to be in. I'll have more work for us all tomorrow, but for now it's fine to rest. And, yes, I'm going to sleep for as long as possible."

Permalink

Affirmative sign.

"I was figuring I'd teleport over to the beach again - and back after, obviously. Anything I should be passing on? Or back."

Permalink

"We found the Generator, and it's running. We are building the new city. If anyone is sick or injured, please do fetch them back, we have eight bunks free and could throw up another tent or two if necessary. I was thinking of asking you to bring people here as work, tomorrow, actually."

Permalink

"Can do. Well, can do some of that for the second thing, can't just do that all day. Unless you just want me to help with the road here or something, in which case that I can do all day. No issues with the first thing.

Anything else?"

Permalink

"If you can lay a clean and easy trail, that's probably actually better than teleporting everyone here. I'm mostly worried people will get lost. Nothing for now. Good luck."

Permalink

Asking him more about that: can wait till morning since he wants to sleep.

"Good night!"

And, to Genea, you wanna come with?

Permalink

I think I'll stay. Unless you have a reason for me not to. should sleep.

Permalink

No reason!

She'll see Genea to the tent. Is it warm enough she doesn't need to magic the blanket or anything?

Permalink

It's still kind of cold inside the tents, even with the radiators they've put in the middle of each one. Probably livable but a little extra warmth wouldn't hurt.

Permalink

She magics the blankets. Anything else Genea needs?

Permalink

She thinks she's good. And she has the longer-distance distress signal Aye gave her, if she needs it.

Permalink

Then she bids Genea good night and heads back out of the tent again.

Scrying the beach people?

Permalink

There's still a little visibility on the beach from twilight. The fleet of beached and icebound boats is getting bigger. There's a makeshift ramshackle string of platforms from boat to boat, helping people get ashore. Maybe a hundred fifty people are on the beach. Some on the trail inland. Plenty still waiting to unload off boats.

Permalink

She teleports over. 

Permalink

Nobody notices her immediately.

Permalink

Does anyone look not currently busy? If so, she walks over to them. (Are they using her previously heated area alright?)

Permalink

They're using the heated area!

There's a small ripple of confusion and caution when people notice her. Eventually one woman speaks up and says that this stranger isn't a stranger, she was here this morning, and heads for Aye.

Permalink

Well, she is a stranger, but she's an established helpful stranger!

She waves at the woman. "Hi!" And she can pass on the message from the Captain. Also if anyone is sick or injured she can noted take them to the Generator, but she can also do healing.

Permalink

"Hello!"

This lady is kind of skeeved out by all the magic. Nobody's badly sick or injured. The news that the Generator is running is great! Two hundred and twelve people are accounted for and on the beaches so far, they're going to resume unloading in the morning. Does Aye need anything?

Permalink

If anyone is not-badly sick or injured, she can help with that too. 

She does not. Do they need or want anything? She can make more warm areas, or ward the little platform-bridge they have, or other things.

Permalink

The warm area could be bigger. Or another one could exist. Doing something about the cluttered mass of ships and the platform bridge would probably be good, though they're not sure exactly what ought to be done about it.

Permalink

She can do either or both those things! 

Well, if they want to leave them as-is she can ward the bridge so it's safer. If they want something else she doesn't actually know much about these things so she's going to need to know more about it to think of things.
