Your pride/hero is faced with some pretty strange anomalies. Some of them even dangerous. What safety protocols do they put in place to try and protect everyone against them? Is there a certain area or type of area they avoid to prevent running into them?

Day 5A - Land


   And, of course, just when it seemed like Tamaya could actually do something, outside forces decided to crop up and remind her how powerless she was. Waking up to trees uprooting themselves and whirlpools forming even in mere puddles... She would never get a real break, would she?
   "Okay," she mumbled as Bora informed her of the goings-on, "so I guess I'm gonna have to learn to hunt on land after all. Great!" She groaned. "Okay, well... Nahia, this is gonna sound lame, but don't go near the water, you'll drown."
   "I dunno, I'm a pretty strong swimmer-"
   "Even the gods can be killed, Nahia, and you're not one of us," Bora chastised. "Unless you wish to experience what Life and Decay have already been through - And I warn you, although they were reborn, I cannot promise the same for you - I suggest you listen to your friend."
   Nahia huffed and sighed. "Fine, fine." She pouted. "You're right about it being lame, though."
   "Yeah, I know," Tamaya acknowledged. "We should also try to avoid the trees in the area. It's not storming or anything, so we don't exactly know why they're doing this, right?"
   Bora nodded. "It's been suggested that this is some sort of magic, though they're unsure of its exact nature. Presumably, however..." It had to be tied to the titan, surely.
   Tamaya got the picture, despite his trailing off. "Right," she said. "With that being the case, there's not gonna be any warning if a tree or its branches start to fall, like there would be in a storm. 'Cuz when a storm hits, you can see the trees swaying in the wind if it's strong enough to blow them down or break off any limbs, you know? It sounds like these ones are just out of nowhere, though. So try to stay away from them. Even the already fallen ones. If this is magic, then we can't be sure they're safe even once they're on the ground. They could start getting knocked around again, and the last thing we need right now is for one of us to get taken out by a flying tree trunk."
   It wasn't an elegant solution... or a solution at all, really. But safety had to come first for now.
