My companions in kidnapping,

I've yet to see anyone make note of it in this most public forum, so I will do it myself: I would recommend you don't undertake the Quest requiring you to steal color from others. Firstly I do not know how you would accomplish this. But that is not the problem - recall that some have lost color in the past, and it is most often the result of a grievous Injury or temporary Death or some other type of curse from the town. Based on this we should assume for the moment that losing color is a bad thing, and to be avoided.

This begs the question of why such a Quest would be given to us in the first place. Indeed when I look back I see little benefit we have gained from fulfilling even those quests that are harmless outside of food or clothing. I have been here since the Start, and was willing to play along with these little games, but it has been many months with little results. As it is Winter, we should focus simply on surviving for the moment, but I would also like us to brainstorm how to move forward with our escape.

I am considering a sturdier Boat in which a small amount of us could travel across the lake. If anyone has experience in building these things your assistance would be appreciated in the future.

I am also considering trying to contact whatever lives here or watches over us here directly.

Your thoughts?

PS: I am feeling as of late a terrible chill in my bones and think that there is perhaps a sickness spreading around town. Do be careful.

Yours,
Lupin

I wonder, what methods did you have in mind to contact our benevolent host? A written letter, perhaps? A prayer?

If you decide to shout your frustrations into the sky, all I ask is that you give ample warning so that those of us less inclined towards this town's noisier capers might procure some means to deafen ourselves to it.

A letter was precisely what I had in mind, actually. But I shall not tell you the details for fear that someone may interfere with my results.

[ he wouldn't put it past Okuni OR Kyrie to write a fake response to him just for kicks. ]

[crowsigliere]

Oh? Well, I suppose it IS best to be careful. I would hate to hear that your efforts had gone to waste over some silly prank.

[ Good call, Lupin. ]

Do you still have the coin provided some time ago, or know of anyone willing to spare their own? You might attempt to wish for a response.

[heartsteals]

[ did kyrie just give him advice that's actually good... he's shocked. ]

As a matter of fact I do, and had been wondering what to use it for - this is not a bad suggestion in the least.

[crowsigliere]

[ Well, this is what he's best at. And besides, he's gotta keep people on their toes! Can't be contentious all the time--gotta sprinkle some sound advice in, earn their trust, all that jazz. ]

Of course it's not. I do generally dislike doing things for others, but it is still my job to advise idiots. Doing this much is only fitting.

Really, Lupin, do I seem like the type of person who would offer you poor advice?

[heartsteals]

Yes, without hesitation.

[crowsigliere]

Well, I can't say you're wrong.

You ought to have some faith in me! If you decide to go through with it, I'd like to hear whether or not it was of any use.

[heartsteals]

[ he tells him to have faith in him right after saying he's right..... kyrie remains ridiculous. Lupin's shaking his head at his monitor. ]

Of course, I will be sure to share the results with everyone, should I have any. This may still be too gentle an approach to take.
