You're From The Isle If Anybody Asks

First Awareness

Those used to this by now probably knew what it meant when they felt their magic return for a moment. For the rest, suddenly their powers were back. Just for a few minutes, but a lot could be done in a few minutes. If the person even noticed their powers were back, that is.

Of course those on the shore might have seen the hazy indistinct shape through the barrier coming closer, might have seen the moment the hole in the barrier opened. Might have seen King Ben leading people down a gangplank through the barrier with crates of supplies....

Unions, Re And Otherwise

Once the supplies were unloaded, the barrier was sealed up again. King Ben seemed to be in charge during the unloading, Once the barrier was closed again, by the green magic streaming from the Queen's finger, it was Mal who seemed to be in charge.

"Alright, listen up. We have 2 hours and the clock is ticking. I'm not FG but we're keeping to a deadline anyway. If you want to come to Auradon or know someone you want us to bring back, you have 2 hours to convince us. You and everyone else, sharing the same 2 hours. Along with anyone who has a supply request for our next visit, or updates. Those of you bringing supplies to the school, time to get cracking. Two hours passes faster than midnight at the ball."

Those Who Left

(Please TL Here for boat and Auradon Shenanigans. TY)

Those What Remain

Once those going back to Auradon had left and the barrier was back in place, it was for those who remained on the Isle to sort the supplies and figure out how to get done everything that needed to be done with the people that remained.

Sun eyed the paper, silent for a second, and then looked up at Ian. He didn't say anything, then just looked back down at the bits of paper. "....This is about how to write a how-to list sort of thing, isn't it."

[ubuntu_programmer]

"All programing can be broken down to a list of instructions on how to do a thing, so yes."

[dualityinjest]

"Right... but I'm not sure if this is the sort of programming I use. I don't see any arrows, I see... ummm...."

He tilted his head a bit as he thought about it. "Things like... 'Insufficient privileges to access'... some... file...?" He didn't look up as he said it, absently fiddling with one of the little bits of paper with an arrow on it. "Or... or 'No such file or directory' when something is supposed to be there...?"

"These arrows are part of the building blocks that get to that point. I mean technically at its most basic programing is just patterns of zero and one, but that's like telling you to start building a pyramid with atoms. We're skipping the atom stage and going right to the building blocks stage. So while you can build a pyramid with toy foam blocks, building one that can withstand weight needs not only more solid blocks like stone, but also needs support engineering and math. But when you learn to build a pyramid, you start with soft foam blocks or coins. You learn the simplified easier to manipulate version first to understand the basics. That's what the arrows are. They're foam building blocks."
