3. The Search for Magiq: Cataclysm

The office is gone.
Was gone. In a a flash. Like how tsunamis sweep houses away in those awful videos. I cast the spell and posted the incantation.

And the walls explode in. Exploded in all at once, and then I thought I was unconscious or dead. It was all black everywhere. But I could hear voices. And then I see a light. A little green light. And I can walk so I walk to it. And then I’m in the office, and it’s normal, except I’m looking over my own shoulder. I’m standing in the corner and I’m sitting at my desk, trying to get the forum back up. It was my voice. I blink and then I’m at the desk. On live chat with our hosting support. Our forum is gone. Was gone. They found it on a partner company’s shared server in Venezuela.

I don’t feel great. I’m on my way home. Whatever we cast did something, I hope someone on the outside saw it. Is everyone else okay?

Would it be rude to @ all the spell participants? I just want to know how they’re holding up.

I was thinking that…maybe we give it a little more time?

Edit: it’s only been 30ish minutes that we’ve been back online…some people might not have gotten to their objects yet…

Just got a chance to check in here, I’ll know about my token in about 45 mins when I get home. I feel alright, though I’m currently sans appetite.

That makes officially 1/3 of our casters accounted for, plus @Saberlane!

Sorry, was out seeing a potential apartment and just now got a minute to check in. I’m fine. I had a moment of dizzy around the time of the eclipse that I thought was due to the heat, but maybe it wasn’t, after all? Anyway, the necklace I added seems to be fine.

I’m alright save a nasty headache. I’m still at work so I don’t know what became of my token yet but I’ll report as soon as I can

Honestly at this point, I think we’re most worried about people. Do report back on what happened to your item, for the sake of knowing all the spell effects, but for now I’m glad you’re alright!

I’m UK, just about to crawl into bed.

Spanner is… Well used?
The ring on one end of it has snapped and it’s got a slight bend in it. Nothing I haven’t seen or done to a spanner before.

I have a splitting headache, could be caused by the noise of the spanner breaking, spell sickness or just a normal headache for me woop.

Glad everyone seems to be ok.
Worst part was forum going dark, oh the irony, and not knowing what was happening. I really do feel for Marty when the '74 Mounties vanished!
Thanks for getting it back up @Saberlane, your experience sounds both awesome and a touch scary.

Has anyone tried calling a courier?
Have we damaged/weakened the veil?

We haven’t tried anything yet, but I personally want to wait a bit to see if everyone is okay. On the other hand though, our veil might close itself up again if we wait too long.

Assuming I didn’t miss anyone who posted, we’ve got half of our casters that have checked in now.

I cant help but wonder what would happen if we used wrought magiq right now.

As for me personally, was really hungry just after totality (audible growling), am now sleepy and almost feeling shaky but not quite.

Remember our job was to shine a light so that the outside could find the door and reach us. Definitely first priority are out people being safe.

But second after that we need to keep watch for any signs of contacts from outside.
