Event 1: Gods and Monsters
[Time is a bit difficult to measure in this place. The storms that rage beyond your safe barrier, overtaking the horizon with their shifting lights and shadows, aren't doing it any favors.

Today, you wake up to quiet. No drone of distant winds. Not even birdsong breaches your bedrooms. Like a inhaled breath, the world seems to have paused.
And then, it exhales. The ground under your feet trembles and shakes. Dirt flies. Rocks shower down from the direction of the cliffs.
There, like an open wound stabbed into the earth, was a large crack where there wasn't before, spilling out an oppressive red light. Stranger still, some larger rocks are floating over the opening itself.

[ There's a lot of rude shit she could say, and absolutely nothing he or anyone else could say in response that would matter, emotionally! But she's taken enough of a liking to Quark to leave it at that, largely since she thinks he's the kind of person who'll eventually rally if left unantagonized. ]
Tomorrow will come. You're the sort who'll continue to negotiate terms when it does.
[ And off she goes! ]
