The ever-anticipated turn 17! Remember, don't post new actions after this, turn 18 will have the waking events revealed, and whatever dreams that may have been encountered.
As it is only two people awake, this turn will be rather short, as the upcoming waking turn will also most likely be, albeit a bit longer, but still below average. The plot should get moving again by turn 20 at the latest. Or so I hope, never can tell with this bunch.
And yeah, not really a twist per say, but who knows when the dreams might have meaning to them?
Turn 17
Group 1: Flat, Astor, Xix, Gaweir, Abronychus, Zak
Flat: Sleeping
Astor: Sleeping
Xix: I do random stuff for some hour more, then go to sleep inside the HQ, guarding the laptop.
Gaweir: After a quick breather, I'll finish what I started, and try and get us a door before the end of the first day. And then I will sleep.
Abronychus: Sleeping
Zak: Sleeping
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night was slowly crawling its way towards the village as the sun had finally set, the horizon a brilliant glow of violets and oranges, and the above sky a deep blue. Xix, not quite ready to sleep, went outside the HQ and looked up into the sky, gazing for a while, as Gaweir was sitting by his nearly-removed crude door, resting. Looking at the many stars dotted across the heavens, Xix was somewhat surprised to see, after a bit of observing, that the stars had identical placement to her own planet, however they were a deep, and pulsating, wavering purple. Noticing the leather store shopkeeper walking by, she decided to question about it.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"Uhh, yes, what is it?"
"In the sky, the stars are of purple hue, and they waver as though they were submerged in water. Why is that?"
"I'm... not quite sure what you're talking about. I see white stars, and they are not wavering..."
Xix took off her glasses, rubbing them slightly with her clothing, before putting them back on and looking at the stars again, which were still just as purple and were rippling just as much.
"No, they are definitely purple and waving. Have you looked recently?"
The leatherworker looked into the sky, and saw the stars. He squinted slightly at them, rubbing his chin, before looking back to Xix.
"Miss, perhaps you are sleepy. You should rest. The stars are white, just as ever, just as before the Rahn inya, just as after."
"No, I would know if I was simply tired, I'm not overly so. Hmm, I could use a picture of this..."
Xix took out her camera and, pointing at the sky, took a picture. Once the camera had processed it, and displayed it on its screen, Xix looked at it. It was still purple, so whatever strange thing was occuring wasn't just in her head. The shopkeeper looked over her shoulder, at the camera, and saw the picture.
"It... they are purple! Er... go and rest, perhaps we are both tired. Keep that picture though, perhaps the elder will know what's going on..."
The shopkeeper walked on, to the far north west hut, while Xix sat with a confused look, and continued to watch the sky. Moving farther to the north, and looking south, she saw the moon rising. It, too, was purple and rippling, but as it was larger and far easier to see, the effect was much more noticeable. While she continued to stare, Gaweir had gotten up from his rest, and continued to hack away at the two sides of the door, removing its crude shape after a few more minutes. With the basic form made, he then took the axe and hacked at its sides with decent precision, considering his skill with weapons, however it was no masterpiece. The finished product was decently rectangular, aside from a few frayed edges, a few knots, and a moderate sized crack in it. But it would do.
Realizing he would need to have hinges of some sort for the door to work properly, Gaweir noted the materials he would need before slumping over, quite exhausted, and very sleepy. But he forced himself to get up, and brought the door. As he approached the HQ, he saw Xix beginning to enter the hut as well, rubbing her eyes in both a sleepy and astonished way, and giving a glance up to the sky. Gaweir looked up as well, to see why she seemed so puzzled, and saw the radiating discolored stars. But he was too tired to connect it to anything out of the ordinary, and went into the HQ, where he placed the door in its frame. It would hold, but you would have to remove the entire door to exit, and then it would have to be placed back in, which took a bit of force, afterward. Then, he and Xix grabbed a mat and slept, Xix taking her laptop and placing it next to her.
