un: tabibito, after this week's boss battles

Everyone (and I do mean everyone!), please come to the [ Net Slum ].

This is a gift from Zelkova-kun, put together with the help of Noir-kun and Vogel-kun. Let us hope it is not his final gift to us. I am sorry it took us so long, but there was a lot to do. We are not taking criticisms at this time (you're wrong), but we are open to suggestions.

PS: And you - yes, you! The injured friend on the other side of the screen now - or in the future. Perhaps you are thinking we are not on the same side, so you are not welcome and you must not go. On the contrary, please make haste. Send me a private message if you are hesitant.




(( Congrats! Your character has the ability to enter the Net Slum now, our newest Root Town. The descriptions have been added to the Locations page and are included below for your convenience! ))

The Infirmary:
What was once an abandoned building has been tidied up and fashioned into an infirmary just in time to receive the wounded.
Along the walls, you'll find wooden cabinets stocked with various medical supplies including bandages, stitches, and painkillers. AI nurses make the rounds, attending to the injured and fitting casts and prosthetics onto patients who need it. Crutches and wheelchairs will also be provided.

Warm sunlight filters through the arched windows and potted plants decorate the space, giving the room life. A row of beds partitioned by curtains offer wounded heroes a place to rest and recover. For some reason, one bed comes equipped with straps...is there someone who needs to be lovingly bullied into resting, perhaps? The infirmary also houses closed rooms for those who prefer to recuperate in private, and by each bed, extra chairs have been made available for visitors— we know love is the best medicine of all.

Some patients may recognize Ki, the adorable grunty plush. Now relieved of his original duties, Ki sits on a shelf to watch over everyone recover in peace.

For those determined to throw themselves into the fray again, visiting the infirmary every day for a week will accelerate the healing of broken bones and get you back into shape. (Permanent injuries such as severed limbs will still require prosthetics.)

Inside the infirmary, cordoned off by curtains is a small area full of cozy blankets, pillows and arm chairs that are easy to get out of. There's a small coffee table and a shelf full of books from the library, and various board games like chess and shogi. It's clearly designed to keep patients from going too crazy with boredom as they recover, or for visitors to pass the time while the patients rest.

And for some reason there are also some cat plushies...potential comfort items for patients?


The Meeting Room:
Whereas the other buildings have been more or less cohesive in design, the meeting room is a clash of four personalities.
The outside leading in is initially dense concrete and dented steel, similar to the rest of the Net Slum as you’d expect. All gray floors leading to a console that’s directly across from the door, with a large screen showing the various states of the Root Towns. There’s a large, rectangular meeting table in front of the screen, and the chairs seem cozy enough. Very professional and clean!

Until you look at the rest of the room.

The flooring and walls shift from steel to wood and stone, with plush rugs and potted greenery scattered about. In the very center of the room is… a meeting of mismatched chairs. All of them comfy and cozy, in varying shapes and colors as though the crafters could not make up their mind and went with all of them, all the chairs. Why not?

For those more antisocial friends: there are a couple seats to the side and some solo play time nooks. One in particular looks very inviting; it’s next to a wall of books! So many! But they are all about dogs for whatever reason… and you realize... it’s just the same book with different colored covers for variety.

The cozy vibes don’t end there. You may hang out by the forever-burning fireplace that’s next to the meeting of chairs. And, naturally, a snack corner awaits any hungry Fragment citizen, stocked with a little bit of everything.

When you’re alone, gaze out at the windows overlooking the Net Slum. Or visit the landing through a door by the console and discover a surprise: this sanctuary is carried on the back of a flying turtle.


The Supplies Storage:
The supplies storage is less of a closet, and more of a quaint little shop.
The shop front is pleasantly warm and full of light, the air somehow clean and fresh. When you enter, you will see a large oak desk out front, with a tidy pile of books stacked up neatly, along side some papers with a series of numbers of sums that suggest it's accounting work. Next to it is a cute cat plushie. At the desk, you'll be be greeted by either Miharu most days, Aitla the Grunty("Greetings, Friend") or Sinclair as part of their job as Phantom Operatives. There are two (comfy) seats in front if you just want to sit and chat with them, along with an always full pot of tea and snacks.

Zelkova has left behind a large number of supplies Sinclair, Haru and Hani have painstakingly sorted and organised for the coming battles ahead. Each person in Fragment has been accounted for and supplies sorted by priority for those who wish to take part against the Wave, and those who have been severely injured during the battles. Make your request, and you'll gain access to the back storage area , which has been organised in shelves and chests in terms of professions needled to harvest the materials. Meanwhile, for those looking for meat, Monster hunting and Fishing has its own section down in the cellar below.

But the most essential discovery has been the new supply of potions Zelkova has left behind for the battles ahead. As a much needed resource, Miharu may be a little more firm about how many of these supplies can be taken per week.

A weekly dungeon runner can ask for 5 potions to take with them, while those preparing themselves for the Phase battles ahead will be given 10 for each battle they participate in*. Use them wisely because they will run out in due time too.

*that said, if you are a gentle soul, you may be able to appeal to Aitla the Grunty's soft heart and wheedle out an extra potion or two.

The Supplies Storage is available to people every day, except at a certain nebulous time Fragment has agreed is 'time for dinner and sleep'.

Fine. Just a chance.
gluttoning: (079)

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-11-08 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. You feeling better will help me feel better.

Let me check something real quick with Hani first. We can head there after I know for sure.

( :T kyun... )

Is it anything I should know about?
gluttoning: (023)

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-11-08 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You already know. Just need to see if it's going to be safe.
tablescraps: (pic#16659028)

[personal profile] tablescraps 2023-11-08 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
( Mm. )

Okay. I'll be waiting for you.
gluttoning: (002)

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-11-09 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[A short while later:]

Okay. It should be fine. If it's not, we have a plan.

@ tabibito

If we need help moving me, FlameMane is strong enough to support my weight. I should be okay. I just might need some time to get there.
insinning: (nervous; uneasy with this)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-11-09 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
tabibito needs to be down here too because they're still not fully healed

and they have wheel chairs

i think we can ask the nurses to borrow one for you both
gluttoning: (005)

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-11-09 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
That might be easiest. Femur break so I can't move much even with my hip.

I can push myself once I'm in it, I just need someone to help hold doors.
insinning: (fluster; that isn't true is it)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-11-09 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
you don't need to worry about doors down here, the ais help out a lot

but uh

fair warning if you can't do the right thing the head nurse will come for you
gluttoning: (011)

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-11-09 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
The right thing?
insinning: (thinking; not the worst thing)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-11-09 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
you'll see what happens when people ignore her instructions

Is your shoulder still not healed?
gluttoning: (083 [d])

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-11-09 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Could you stay and wait for us?

I want to show some of the others that it's better to arrive and be patient.


[read: mithrun and tylor and hector.]

Once we feel better, we can do a lot more. And I want you to feel better, too. Not just me.

You discovered the infirmary but you didn't pause to heal your shoulder?

( mithrun would do the same though )

[personal profile] tablescraps 2023-11-09 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Were those involved not allowed to ask for help?

( He doesn't mean specifically from him, though, since he's guessing this was already happening while he was busy being Macha, but still. )
