The Stormfather

"Oh yeah, him. Uhhh....." Mark stops. I can't... I thought I was over this. Rusts! "I mean, we should probably..." Mark drew a finger across his neck. They can't see this weakness within me. They cannot know what I did. "Or just run, because he might injure us." @Lotus Blossom @Dragonheir @Unintelligenius

Mark looks at Astra. "You're a Radiant? What order?" @Lotus Blossom @LightRinger @Dragonheir @Unintelligenius

"Good enough of a plan." @Dragonheir

"No idea." Mark says, oblivious to the fact that Astra probably wasn't talking to him, but to Tondon.

Mark follows Astra and Tondon, not knowing what else to do.

"Hello? Have any of you considered running away?" Mark asks. "Whoever or whatever was in that tree probably threw some rocks upwards. If I were in that position, I'd be sneaking around to hit them in the back, so we need to get moving. Now." @Lotus Blossom @Dragonheir @Unintelligenius @LightRinger

"Let's get out of here. Quick."

Mark is completely oblivious, even though you're really close to him.

Mark winces as a rock hits him. "Who threw that?" Then he turns back to Astra. "I thought you were dead. I thought..." It's fine. It's not like Sereine. It's not like Sereine. No. Not again. "I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine." He starts murmuring.

"This time, I'm certain your drunk." Mark sighs. "Astra, why did you leave? Abandon the person who trusted you?"

"I'm Mark. Are you about to kill me, or do I get to finally relax a bit?" @Lotus Blossom

"Astra?" Mark says, remembering the odd woman who had shown up and left like the highstorm at the beginning of the games. "Where did you go? You just disappeared during the storm!"

"Stay....back. Need...food. Help!" @Lotus Blossom I think you're also near here?

Whack the block with a sledgehammer. It gets rid of it.

You can see Larry, wandering in front of the chicken coop. When you appeared, he appeared at the same time, maybe he just got up from the disorientation before you? That makes the timeline make sense. Larry cannot seem to get his communicator to work, even if it's battery still has power. You can't figure it out. It doesn't say any errors, but does not connect to any channels.

"Ow! Rusts, what was that?" He looks around for the source of the blast. Stupid investiture other than Allomancy. Far too confusing, the lot of it. Mark looks around himself, looking for some kind of tree/hole/shelter that he could huddle in to withstand the cold. I wonder if Roy can hear me through the door... "Roy!" Mark shouts. "The door won't let me through! Something's stopping me! If you can, try to win some food! I'll be fine!" Ignoring the fact that yelling will pretty much call anyone towards him, he yells at the door, hoping that Roy can see him.

"Yes." Mark steps into the casino.

Oh sorry, forgot about the sign. it says 'Chicken prison. Stay life with space on the you where are.' Clearly wherever you are has a different dialect. There is an image of a solid red chicken.

There is a red painted barn a hundred-fifty meters away from the cliff edge, and even farther out, maybe around a kilometer you see a house. There is smoke coming from the chimney. One of the chickens clucks loudly, and the others cluck quietly, as if in response.

"Rusts, neither can I! The casino might be heated!" Mark runs to the nearest door and tries to open it. @Edema Rue @Ancient Elantrian @RoyalBeeMage @Wierdo

Your characters hear these things from... somewhere. Somewhere upwards.

Yeah, you can join. Not much to read about what already happened, we've barely started!

Yes, you can.

What's going on? This... Who are these people? Wait.. this could work... It's not what they expected, but it could still get us some cash. In the farm you can see large expanses of grain and wheat, along with a huge field for cows. There is also a large, very large solid steel coop for chickens, one that looks nearly like a bunker of some kind, yet the front of it faces you and you can see the chickens. (You might not know what a chicken is, depending.) There is a sign on the chicken coop that is too far away to read. Below the cliffs on all other sides there are crashing waves of the ocean, with a near two-hundred foot drop down to it. You can see, off in the distance, the sails of ships out on the ocean, but you do not see any modern or high-tech ships with steam engines or whatever futuristic engines are powered by. Only sails.
