how many people need a primer on survivalism for this mission?
general headcount and identifications would be useful, so others can keep an eye out for you also, once we're in.

( to be helped, of course. )

gathering some info on this already, so I'll edit a bit later to add a basic guide below.

Planetary.

This place is much smaller, and I can only influence about a square kilometer here. I hope that would be enough for our little impending adventure into the labyrinth, but we shall see.

I did gather that most are human, with focused skills of some kind. I worry for everyone's safety, but I am hopeful that we can all help wherever and however we can.

( holy shit— )

damn
and you're human, too?
is it some kind of magic?

we could negotiate your ability to do provide rain without compromise
with the name of the game is teamwork, I think Aurora could be effectively persuaded by the right person

I was worried also, but it does seem like many people are capable and willing to lend a hand as necessary
even a selfish person should realize that cooperation nets them the biggest benefit, for the time being

Not human, but the next step. Mutant. [ Goddess, as certain people in Central Africa and Wakanda insist. But today, here, she'll try not to alienate too many people. ]

I have reached out to Ms Aurora to see what can be done. I suspect the atmosphere in the setting they've chosen to test us in should be malleable enough for me, but I also worry about accessibility to basic needs. Water is important, but so is food, shelter... Electricity, even - and I can provide that as well. What worries me is the nature of a labyrinth - I won't be able to reach everyone who might need help.

[ And, as usual, that is what grates the most. She's capable of a lot, but she can't be there for everyone, everywhere, all at once. ]

[counterstep]

mutant?
meaning with some kind of genetic mutation?

( he's never heard of that giving anyone abilities like she's described, but that's a helluva thing, if that's normal in her world. )

yeah
with the nature of how mazes tend to work, I'd say that's what they're intending also, not letting us be able to reach everyone. but water is still better than nothing, if you can get that negotiated. please let me know what she says, if you could.

that's why I think a primer would be good though
and maybe a checklist for what people should grab at Roxx

[agoddessonce]

Yes, a genetic mutation. Mine grants me a connection with the elemental forces of nature. Or weather, if you'd like a simpler description.

[ It's far from normal, but not something she'll advertise right now. ]

I will let you know, yes.

If people do not manage to prepare on time - perhaps we can put together some packages for people to take with them. Something to distribute upon entry, or to people we encounter inside.

I am not sure if people realize how important things like a firestarter or shovel might be.
