Greetings. This is Archer. I hope that you are all faring well after the recent abductions. But it is concerning that and many other strange things in this realm which I wish to speak of today. I refer in particular to that book which Mythra and I have discovered underneath this town.

Last month, I have received a quill. How I came to obtain this item is best left unsaid, but this quill will write upon no surface save for that book. A few short lines scribbled onto that book’s pages have yielded me no results, but perhaps defter hands than mine can reveal its secrets. To that end I have left the quill within the room where the book lies, so that any denizen of this world might use it freely. I believe that, considering the recently published end to Mr. F’s woeful tale, we are meant to rewrite the story of this world. As such, it seems fair that all of us play a part in its completion.

Also, and this is very important! I have left a second quill there. This quill is very special and is quite a pretty shade of blue. By no means should you touch this second quill. Only true kings may use it and no other.

That is all.

[ OOC: This post refers to an especially significant quest reward from last month which might have a strong impact on the endgame. It’s a magical quill that can only work on the book found a while back. Feel free to let your characters use this quill as you will, regardless of whether or not you have CR with Tristan! Just remember to report to the mods if your character writes anything substantial with it!

Also the second bit of this network post is just a flimsy ruse to ICly keep a certain someone from making some very irresponsible decisions RE: the quill. Your characters are perfectly free to touch that second quill (it’s just a random goose feather, and has now been stolen) if you want, or even call him out on the weirdness of it all. That feather is otherwise practically useless and just there as a silly decoy.

ETA: OOC plotting here and a log for threading out book shenanigans is up! ]

You wish to find something.

[ Although does that quest even matter now that she's running around a lot lately? Not that he still doesn't take that quest dead seriously. ]

Something made of light.

[ O h. ]

That’s your quest. Better finish it before the trees gobble up the town.

[noholdsbard]

Yes…there seems to be a need for haste as of late.

[ Although he's thinking more of his alarming tendency to lose his memories as of late. Never mind if the book gives them hope or the fact that the color of the well is restored—no optimism allowed here!! ]

But should anything happen I must ask a favor of you.
No, never mind that. I shall pursue your quest with all haste.

[mythratastic]

What’s the favor?

[ Like... why write it out that he might need a favor only to also write never mind?? ]

[noholdsbard]

[ He's dumb and typed it without thinking, pls no bulli!!!1 ]

I should not speak of it here.

[ He knows she's going to pursue the issue no matter what, anyway, but at least he can try to buy himself some time here. ]

Right now, we must focus all our energies upon uncovering the secrets of that book.

[mythratastic]

Fine. Tell me when we see each other.

[ A part of her wonders if he wrote that just to lead her on into seeing her in person again. Another part of her thinks that he's.... not that cunning. ]

I'm going to write in the book.

Later.
