Glimpse of Nature

Who: Everyone who has enough proofs! Where: District 4 When: September 20th to October 4th Summary: There is a new district reopening, and the city needs your help to get it up and running! Warnings: Inbox death may occur. System overload at own risk. SOME NPC RESPONSES WILL BE SLOW UNTIL THE ONE WHO PLAYS THEM IS PRESENT. Also, remember that you can still submit proofs at any time here between now and October 4th to have your character be allowed in the new district before it's open to the public! Additionally, you are all free to start your own logs set in District 4 outside of this one, HOWEVER if you want your characters to explore in territory that hasn't been looked at yet, we ask you to please use this log! A different side of the city. Anyone hanging around the wall that blocks off the forth district will be in for a surprise on Friday - new signs are being put up, barricades are being torn down, and NPCs are standing around, both directing all the work and talking to anyone who approaches to enter. A few doctors are on standby as well. Any of the visitors who try to walk in will be redirected to these doctors, who will scan them, take a few measurements on some portable computers they've brought out, and then tell them their results - those who reach measurements that are high enough will be allowed to enter, and those who aren't will be turned away and asked to return when the district is more stable to avoid any health risks associated with the drain effect. They will then suggest to any characters turned away to try participating in more physical contact if they want to enter sooner rather than later. Those who are allowed to enter will immediately be greeted by a place very different from the rest of the city. The area is wide and open, with a path that's only loosely based on the locations of the few buildings around. Though much of it seems to be struggling to grow, particularly as the winter months begin to inch closer, there is nature and life all around - trees, large clearings that are or once were filled with grass, and most notably areas that seem designated for recreational activities, like swing sets and basketball courts. A perfect place to relax and have fun. Welcome to the parks and recreation district.

[For several moments, Diarmuid just stands in awe of the beauty that is surrounding him. He notices the sign out of the corner of his eye, but since he can't read much yet, he just files it away in his mind as another beautiful detail of this amazingly beautiful place. And then the movement in the pond catches his attention and he races down the steps toward the pond so curious to get a better look that he doesn't even think about all the warnings he's been given about staying away from water since he can't swim.

Fortunately, he stops at the edge of the pond and doesn't try to enter it. Instead, he just stands there watching the 'ribbons' move under the water. It's so peaceful and the closest he has felt to home while still being in the city.]

I wonder if Father can hear me from here...
