Hey... everyone. It's Keith.

So a couple things. I guess.

First. Someone brought it up already I think. A while back, but people are going missing. I know it's happened at least a couple times. Not anyone I ever really met, but one guy I was assigned to as a sparring partner, but I couldn't find him. It really seems like he's gone. Even his code has been struck from the network. Which seems pretty deliberate.

Is there anyone else?

If people are disappearing, or wandering off and getting hurt or... worse... I guess most people probably have friends to look out after them. Maybe not everyone though.

But even so, if people are disappearing and none of us know how or why. I think that's something we should probably at least think about and what it means for the rest of us.


Second. So I guess it's a little easier now that there are some colors to help remember, but the whole username code thing is confusing in keeping track of who is who. At least it is for me.

If it were voluntary, what do people think about putting together some sort of directory? Something we could keep updated and search by name and/or code.

It might help us keep track of people too.

And... If people do think it's worth pursuing, I'd be really grateful if anyone better at computers than me wants to help making it user friendly.

EDIT: And apparently some people are turning into statues. Which sounds horrifying. Anyone have info on this? Do we know how to reverse it?

A directory of everyone's codes would be useful. I have a lot written down, if you'd like me to send it to you.

Also apparently some people are turning into statues. I'm not sure if the one I found is one of the people you noticed missing, though.

[lonered]

Yeah I can't remember any at all.

Wait. What. Who? When?

What does their network tag look like? Is it struck and gone?

[inheritance]

Memorizing details like this is kind of my thing, so it isn't that bad for me. You don't want to keep the list updated yourself?

Her name is Vriska. I actually don't know her hex code, though, since I spoke to her before we all figured out the laptops were here. Do you remember the names of the people who went missing?

I only found out about this yesterday. Arisato-kun and I have no idea how it happened, so we just tried to make her comfortable in case she's still conscious.

I didn't know people were disappearing, but... has anyone else experienced people turning to stone or statues?

[JUST LIKE.

CASUALLY TOSSING THAT OUT THERE.]

[lonered]

Yeah. Some guy named Akihiko is the one I know about.

Yeah that. Just heard about that now. When the quiznak did this start??

[messianic]

[Akihiko is a relatively common name... it could've been anyone, and Minato's immediate thought isn't "My senpai must be missing". Probably for the better.]

It's my housemate. She went missing, but a statue appeared in her place. I think it's really her.

i know a few people who were already trying to collect names and hex codes bc they cant memorize them easy
so im not personally opposed to it
i mean
i have no issues w people knowing who the fuck i am on the whole
but a post we can ctrl f thats in alphabetical order seems like the best way to go if youre looking for opinions

[lonered]

Yeah. Alphabetical order. Maybe also by color. Quiznak. They fucking colorcoded is. Like socks.

[Keith can't make up his mind about how to swear right now.]

Have you heard anything about people turning to statues? Because that's apparently a thing now.

[parodeity]

hm well
why dont we do it by color
like red blue yellow
then under those headings do people alphabetically with their hex codes to the side

also wait what

people are disappearing? i wish there was a way to find out who might be all alone here... i try to get out as much as i can, but i know there are people i haven't met yet. like you! you have someone watching out for YOU, right?

and the directory is a great idea! good job! (･ω･)b

[lonered]

It is hard to keep track of everyone. The directory might help, somehow.

I'm Keith, for what it's worth. If you can count this as meeting.

As for me... I look out for myself. I'm pretty used to it.

[thriftea]

it really WILL help! so thank you for thinking of it.

hello, keith! i'm ochako. it's a little weird to meet like this, but it's still nice to talk to you. ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ and you know, just because you're used to looking out for yourself doesn't mean that you HAVE to do it alone! friends make everything so much better!

izuku and i are starting to collect hex codes from people, too, because you and i talked about it last time. he has a few i don't have and i've been collecting some from people, too. i can send them to you here or somewhere else or whatever.

who turned into a statue?

shhh what journal fail

[lonered]

Yeah he mentioned having some. As long as those people are good having their names and codes attached to one another, then yeah. That'd be great.

Some girl named Vriska. I don't think I've met her, in person at least. Minato and Izuku found her.

keith's just channeling its fine its fine

[windeity]

you obviously have mine...

#e00707 is dave
#df0000 is terezi
#005682 is vriska
#b91600 is lupin
#0715cd is minato
#0000e6 is okuyasu
#0715CD is a guy whose name i didn't get though, sorry.

a lot of people are getting the idea of actually sharing their names on the forum which is nice. those are the ones i know of and who have told me directly who they are or people i recognize.

...wait what? hold on, when did they find her? HOW did they find her?

With regards to the disappearances... I suggest everyone keep a close eye on those they don't care to lose.

If nothing else, it doesn't appear to erase them completely. They've physically disappeared, but any memories of their existence seem to remain intact.

[ Which is more than he can say for some, as strange as that sounds. Good news, Keith, he doesn't intend to start anything over a topic he's this invested in. ]

[lonered]

Yeah. Looking out for each other is probably the only defense we have right now. But knowing more about how people vanish might help us with that too.

Some anyway. I mean. Would we remember if someone were erased from our memories?

But you're right. It's not like someone has tried to remove signs of their existence in the first place.

[crowsigliere]

I'm sure you wouldn't remember, no. I doubt any of you would. But, should someone come along suggesting you've forgotten, I recommend keeping an open mind.

It doesn't seem likely their existence will be scrubbed totally from this world, but until someone who has disappeared returns, there's not much to be done except hope that they do.

Keith! It's Riku!

It's kind of scary that people are disappearing... But if they are, I really hope they're going back where they came from > <

Maybe we should set up a buddy system, so if any of us go out in the forest or something, we have to bring someone with us. It's better if we look out for each other, right?

I don't have THAT many names written down, but if you're still home (you're in Ruga, right?), I can bring you my notebook and let you copy down my list of codes and names!

Or even better, we could try making a post and having everyone reply to it with just their name! That way, we have everyone's name and code in one spot, and we can see the color too! That would be really helpful, right? Someone better with computers might even know how to make it always show up first on the forum!

[lonered]

That would be the best case scenario for certain. I hope that's true. But I still would like to find out as much as we can.

Buddy system is probably a good idea in general.

Yeah, I'm in Ruga. Notebook would be great.

But honestly that was sort of my plan, making a post. If people were interested in it. Figuerd I'd float the idea first. But with a post, that way we'd have it all in one place, and people could decide whether they wanted in on it.

I don't see any reason to stay anonymous, but I guess some folks might have their reasons for it.

[doublesharp]

Yeah... I don't know anything about the statues, but that might be even scarier, since we have no idea how it happened... There are a lot of things we don't know about.

Okay, I can run over my notebook any time you're free! Do you want me to bring it over now?

But yeah, I really like that idea!! Besides, it's easier to see the colors and connect it with a name than memorize a whole bunch of numbers. You're right though... Some people haven't said their name at all.

#000033

[whereabout]

The fact that "apparently, people are turning into statues" is just a casual thing dropped into the end of the post says something about how weird our situation is, doesn't it.

[lonered]

Not casual so much as I just found out about it.

But yeah. This keeps getting more and more messed up as time goes on. We're being toyed with and that #FFFFFFucker isn't even brave enough to show their face or speak to us except in orders and riddles.

people are turning in to WHAT

[lonered]

Statues. I haven't seen it myself yet. But I trust the people saying they have.

Sounds like it's something that just started.
