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

Quests that turn out to have negative consequences seem like some sort of test to me. As if we're being studied on how well we work together or not or if we are easily manipulated. If this is the case, or something similar is the motive, then it's honestly disgusting.
But you have my full and undivided attention when it comes to this Boat you have in mind. I'm a navy man, you see, and while I never built a ship myself, I've sailed enough of them to have a fair enough idea of their construction. I fear that however well-constructed a vessel may be, though, the ocean here is just not normal and could tear whatever we build to splinters. Still, we won't know until we try!

It's true that we cannot predict what could be waiting for us out in the water, and we will be very vulnerable there, but we've explored far less of the lake than we have the forest. There may be an entirely separate town on the opposite bank, for all that we know.

As long as you're aware of the possible dangers. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, but I know it's not entirely avoidable, especially if we want to to make progress. Do you have other crew members in mind for this little adventure or are you focusing on getting a ship ready first?
no subject
[ a bit dark, but... it's simply a reality of life here that people sometimes disappear. ]
Without a doubt I will need people who can fight even out on open waters.
