[ USER: #DC143C in this lovely color ]

hey sup
despite the un this is dave
and also keith bc the un is accurate to whose laptop this is
but anyway good news we have a town name things to DEMOCRACY
the town name is chroma
congrats feel patriotic
in other news tho with books being readable those books keith and i totally stole from that cottage way back when now have text
take it away and tell the lovely people what all we learned keith


Yay democracy.

Anyway.

We learned that woods hermits like to keep journals? Like, really really like to keep journals.

This guy kept track of everything. And it starts out pretty… mundane, but then it all gets a lot weirder. Apparently the woods started talking to whoever this forest journaler was, and apparently it wanted something.

Not… that he was kind enough to say what it wanted. But I’m going to go out on a limb and say nothing good.

So. There’s that.

The woods have apparently sucked for longer than we’ve been here. Maybe whatever happened to the town’s color and uh, residents, had something to do with that.

Maybe.

if you want to see the books theyre at my place
my place being me dave
so feel free to come see
john or i will let you in
if were there
probably plan for a time we are there
anyway thats all for today guys
good hustle

Considering everything that's happened, I'm wouldn't be surprised if the forest had something to do with it.

I'd like to see the books! Is it okay to head over right now?

[parodeity]

yeah of course you never need an invite anyway

forum --> action

[inheritance]

Thanks! I'll be right over.

[Aaand sure enough, there's a knock on the door just shortly after!!]

[parodeity]

[ and dave opens up his door to usher izuku in! ]

Hey, man. Looks like we can make that town name sign now too?

[inheritance]

You bet! There's a bunch of wood scraps in Yaoyorozu-san's storage--we should be able to find something we can use!

Want to go over to the depot before or after we look at the books?

#DC143C

[lonered]

Yeah. This is just more proof of that. I just wish the guy hadn't started like breaking down at the end. If he'd been clearer we might have a better idea.

[inheritance]

I feel bad for him. It can't have been easy dealing with the forest, knowing what kinds of things are in there.

Did he live alone? Actually, I guess I'll find that out once I've had a chance to look over the books.

[lonered]

He definitely went out there of his own free will to start with. So maybe it wasn't always terrible. It just got that way.

As far as I can tell, yeah. But another set of eyes reading is good. Maybe you'll catch something Dave or I missed.

Sooo the woods talked to this guy?

Im not exactly surprised the super freaky, creepy woods were freaky creepy woods before we got here, but man....

#DC143C

[lonered]

According to his journal. But he did sound like he may have been losing it towards the end, so it may not be the whole story.

Yeah, same. But they must have not been terrible at one point, because his journals start out pretty normal.

the woods are gonna woods i guess
at least we know its not just entirely us

Chroma, a fine name. Clearly the majority of us have good taste, at least.

As for the books : all within the library are fairy tales, but there was an exception in that cottage? Interesting. I'll have to give them a read sometime.

#E00707

[parodeity]

yeah were keeping them at my place
no idea how to refund the like cottage
since as we know the woods like to change

[troubadamsel]

I must admit, the fact that we're trying to accept that the trees are both sentient and evil is a little difficult.

[parodeity]

eh
ive known weirder sentient evil things

#DC143C

[lonered]

Yeah, definitely not fairy tales. Whoever lived in that cottage wrote these.

[troubadamsel]

Were you able to uncover anymore clues in the cottage?

[lonered]

Aside from the books and some old looking food supplies there wasn't a lot there. And then the shadows started getting a little aggressive. So we grabbed what we could and tried to get out of there.

[satanslash]

do you think the woods are what made everyone and the color vanish?

or was the guy just nutter butters?

[parodeity]

honestly at this point maybe it was something in the woods
or
whatever makes the woods like
The Woods
capital letters and all

[satanslash]

feels like a shitty horror movie
so whats the fucking point then
if these people vanished forever ago then us being here aint gonna bring them back to life
or are we just the next thing on the menu

[parodeity]

i mean
maybe we can bring them back if we bring the color back or
some shitty rpg answer like that

#DC143C

[lonered]

Could be. The shadows were pretty intent on dragging people back there.

I mean, the guy definitely seemed to be losing it too, but that doesn't mean he was wrong,

[satanslash]

damn it why do they gotta be so hard to fight

honestly id probably go crazy if a forest was talking to me, too

[lonered]

I don't know, but I hate it. My sword is pretty much useless. The only thing that bothered them at all was its transformation because it gives off light.

You've got a point there too. He may have sounded crazy because he was driven crazy by what was happening.
