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

yeah i am and it SUCKS.

little brother

well twin brother but I'M the eldest

[heartsteals]

If you are twin brothers then should he not share that same immunity?

[satanslash]

nope

he was sick even as a baby so he's always gotten colds and crap

[heartsteals]

Then your heritage is such that the demonic blood was not divided evenly between you? I'm rather unsure which of you would be considered the lucky twin.

In any case, it is a shame you are sick now, but you surely know how to take care of yourself if you've taken care of your brother so long.

[satanslash]

yeah

good question

[Right now both of them are pretty boned, so...]

mostly yeah im just gonna complain a lot lol

[heartsteals]

But it is strange that you should become sick after such a long time so suddenly. Did you do anything unusual lately? Fail at a quest, perhaps?

[satanslash]

no actually ive passed the last two i did

one of them was an accident

nyx and i were lookiing at the quest board and he was joking he was gonna take my color and actually did but it was only my arm

but even after that i didnt feel sick or anything so i dont know what i could have done to makeit happen now

[heartsteals]

[ so it happened by accident? He'd better be extra careful. ]

I've not lost any color, so it can't be that. How about the mirror?

[satanslash]

[The intent was in a joking manner, but apparently that was all it took. As long as the idea is that you're 'going to take someone's color' even as a goof it's going to happen.

Which is, frankly, terrifying.]

I


broke it

i couldnt handle it
what i saw in it

[heartsteals]

[ HM!! ]

How interesting; I broke mine as well. I had not considered this sickness to be anything supernatural, but it may very well be so if it's affecting even those who don't get sick.

[satanslash]

you think the mirror did it?

[heartsteals]

I do not think one way or the other as of right now. It merely seems a likely possibility. I'd need to ask others who broke their mirrors if they're feeling similar effects to be certain.

[satanslash]

uuugh

well whatever i can handle being sick more than i can handle what that stupid mirror was doing

im glad its gone

[heartsteals]

Certainly - if the only consequence we have to face is a cold, then I'd say we chose the lesser of two evils by smashing it.

[satanslash]

yeah

i feel a little better about that now

[heartsteals]

Drink lots of water and eat plenty of fruit and I promise you will live.

[satanslash]

aw but death sounded SO much fun

[He's joking.]

im gonna go get a blanket and lay on the couch for a while

[heartsteals]

That sounds like an excellent idea. Sweet dreams - I'll try and send a little good luck your way from here.

[satanslash]

thanks man
