sweet dreams till sunbeams find you, sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
Reaching out a hand to accept the offered flowers, Safrin gives Sunjata private wink for his efforts, before schooling her face into a more neutral expression for the rest of those gathered. "A barrier over the ocean...to stop the winds.." She repeats, his request sounding more and more like the sort of thing he really should have asked Frey for. But, that he came to her anyway is admirable and appreciated.
"A barrier of stars, perhaps. Just after the world comes out of a week-long darkness, the star-wall can emerge from the sea to protect Torchline from the worst of the winds." Safrin nods. "However you will need to find ways around the changes to the ecosystem this will cause. The monsoon wind helps pollinate the surrounding jungle and also strikes a delicate balance with the natural erosion process of the beaches. We'll also need a few anchors to be made from stone and metal with which to affix the wall of stars in the ocean."
Tasks. There is no time limit. There are currently 19 active Torchers. This means 10 unique characters have to participate (SCs do not count - they can participate, but they don't count toward completing tasks). Characters can participate more than once. Sunjata, Vervain, Nate and Zephyr must participate in at least 1 thread. Sunjata must participate in 2.
1. A PQ of 6 Torchers trying to predict what impact lack of winds will have on the natural erosion process of the beaches, and then come up with and implement a plan for how best to deal with its impact. (at least 4 rounds)
2. A thread of 3 torchers doing what they can to assist with natural wind-based pollination and seed-dispersal efforts (given that the monsoon winds normally do this). (at least 4 posts each)
3. A thread gathering rocks collected from Apopo or the Rainbow Road at midnight beneath the stars, a thread of making star-shaped anchors, and a thread placing these items at the bottom of the ocean. (at least 3 posts per member, per post)
* 50% of those with Torchline as their citizenship must participate in at least 1 thread, contributing at least 3 posts. All members of government must participate. Leaders must participate twice.

but in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me
