The creatures from the well.

I don’t think they’re merely dolls or monsters. I think something is wrong with the well. When I used my purification on them, I was able to extract a feeling. They were once human. It’s as if everything that made up who “they” were was ripped out of them, but this town has shown me what mindless dolls feel like before.

This is different.

I know they’re dangerous, but I’m afraid to kill any more of them. Please be careful.

This is Cairngorm.

There have been a few changes to the books in the library
I was able to restore a few to their original state using some of the ink we all received
I wanted to restore some historical records, but it didn’t go as planned. I’m currently going over some logs about the daily lives of the inhabitants, but something more vague restored alongside them

It was a book about the town’s original inhabitants’ “religion” and “worship”
To be honest, my kind don’t have those things. So I’m not going to be the best at interpreting it
If it even means anything useful.
They seemed to care a lot about separation is about all I can get from it

There are probably those of you out there who know more about religion and who might understand this text more. I’ll explain the contents to you or even show the book to you - if you don’t mess with it.

By the way
Do any of you have the means to build a box the size of a head?
It’s for storing something head shaped.

Ciao, Chroma.

My name is Caramia for those of you who don’t know yet. I haven’t been around these past few weeks. Out of commission, more or less. For anyone I haven’t met, another proper hello to you! If you ever need anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask me! (˵Φ ω Φ˵)

Anyway, I’m here to announce that in a handful of days (9, actually!), it will have officially been a full year since we’ve had our “positivity party”. I would like to throw it again this year, and maybe think of it more as a festival sort of thing? You are all invited, of course! In fact I encourage all of you to come! I’m hoping to make it even better than it was before!!

I would like to ask a few people for help with setting things up, if they’re willing? I have a couple of things in store this time around, and could use some extra hands. As well as more talented musicians if anyone is willing to provide us with music.

Thanks much! Let me know if you have any questions.

It’s been a long time. We have many new people here. My name is Dextera.

A few weeks ago, some others and I were able to defeat the powerful creature in the woods that Ryo discovered. When we kept walking after it, we found that the area beyond it was strangely calm and safe. It was a respite unlike anything I’ve ever seen that deep in the woods. We even saw one or two animals that were completely normal. If you’ve seen any of the usual animals from the woods before, you must understand how strange this is.

It was a small area, but it felt “right.”

The second update is that I recently came back from the woods again with Damian. Because the story from #FFFFFF keeps updating, I thought now was a good time to see if we could find any evidence of that man.

After a long time, and I’m sorry if we scared anyone by disappearing, we were able to find what we think were his bones, plus a locket with the picture of a beautiful man and a colorful feather inside of it.

That’s all. I hope everyone is well.

passio

It’s Dextera, again. I’m sorry to post something again so soon.

Guren disappeared a few days ago. He went home. He told me that Zelda was intended to take over the Defense Force, but it looks like Zelda has gone as well.

I don’t want to take it over. If there’s anyone who thinks they’d like to run it, I believe Guren’s notes still exist. Please take them.

[ even the text is dripping with despair, honestly. ]

And, I have a personal question, unrelated to the Defense Force.

What would your ideal world look like? If you could create something entirely new… what would you want in it?

( just as it says, there’s currently no one running the defense force! if anyone is really interested in taking it over, feel free to make an ooc post about it or put it up for discussion or whatever you feel is best, otherwise both zelda and guren’s players have said they’re fine with handwaving it! )

#FFFFE0 is working on a red map, but I have blue and yellow pieces. Who else has those?

But I'm not holding on to them after we put them together! One of you can do it this time!

It’s Dextera.

I hope everyone has recovered from the town’s most recent mystery. I had intended to make this post earlier, but I think all of us were distracted. It’s confusing, and I’m sorry if it’s hard to read as well.

My brother - Sinistra, #610B0B - and I went into the forest to try to recover the rest of the items I’d found with Guren. We were able to get the pocketwatch, but it’s broken. If anyone knows how to fix it, I would appreciate your instructions.

It does something as it is, though. It’s strange. When I hold it, it feels like nothing exists. It feels like none of us exist. It’s scary. I don’t know how else to describe it. The town feels like an illusion, and all of us even less than that. Those of you that have just arrived still feel “real,” but the people I’ve known for a long time are barely here. I'm barely here.

There are some other people who don’t feel as if they exist at all. We haven’t figured out that criteria yet. I don’t know why or how it’s like this. I’m sorry. I don’t know if the watch works for anyone but my brother and I, but I don’t want anyone else to touch it. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’m sorry, again, but my brother or I will answer any questions you have.

I'll keep this short and to the point has anyone ever received a direct message from #ffffff before now? you don't have to tell me what it said, but I'm asking for reference thanks

[Cool, that's not ominous or anything.]

passio

It’s Dextera.

Guren and I recently returned from a trip into the woods. We’re unhurt, but we weren’t without our trials. Our final encounter was with a mysterious woman who asked us each a question. I’m sorry that I can’t share the details of those questions, but they were intended to present us with a difficult, painful choice.

Even now, I’m not sure why she accepted our answers, but we were rewarded with our selection of items. Of the three things presented to us, we chose to take a journal written by one of the former residents of the town.

Without repeating everything that he wrote here, I can summarize what we found important.

1. The Town’s districts used to be much more discrete. Romance between the residents of separate districts was bound to fail, which seems to be the focus of the story being revealed to us by #FFFFFF, but the writer explains other small difficulties of trying to intermingle as well. I don’t think there were any laws in place, but the social tensions were discouraging enough.

2. The woods weren’t always the danger they seem to be to us today.

3. Even so, near the end of what’s written in the journal, the writer mentions that the colors of people around town are fading, and that he’s beginning to fear the woods in a way that he never had before. Along with the color disappearing from the people, it’s as we’ve seen in circumstances like this before. Their joy disappeared.

4. The last entry is about his best friend going missing. After that, the pages are empty.

I wanted to present this information as objectively as possible, but based on everything we saw in the woods, and the sickness that spread throughout so many of us when the Sirens attacked, I have to say this: the connections we’ve formed in this town are critical. They are our strength and our weakness. The past few weeks have been kind to us, but I’m afraid of what that could mean.

If anyone would like to see the journal, feel free to ask. That’s all.

Hi there.
I'll keep this short and sweet, cause I'm sure you guys hate to read as much as I do, I have a quick question for everyone: What's your blood type?

This isn't for some compatibility thing.
I mean I guess.
I'm just curious.

Addressed to all:

Now that things have settled again after the recent incident, I want to make an offering.

As a child, and into my adult years, I underwent spiritual training on a daily basis to forge a bond with the ancient gods of my land. The purpose of this training was to unlock myself to the world, and gain its wisdom in the process. Though it was a long process, I was successful.

In times of struggle and strife, it can be difficult to figure out where one should turn. It's easy to feel abandoned, and harder to feel united, and you may question if there is any care in the grand scheme of the universe. No one person won't ask themselves if they should take their sufferings and bottle them inside, or reveal them to the world with the fear of judgment. To take hammer to the wall that shields the vulnerable heart is no easy task. Some don't want to break it. Others need help.

To insert an opinion into this, I no longer trust in the higher beings on this realm who brought us here to be of any help. They want us to restore their color, but don't care to grant us any protections in danger. So we must help ourselves, and each other, in times of disillusionment. I've come to feel very strongly about this following the sirens kidnapping.

The purpose of this posting is such: I want to offer myself to others as a spiritual guide. If you feel yourself conflicted, or feeling you have lost your path, or if you want to pray with someone beside you, then you may request me. I ask for nothing in return other than your patience and belief. More so in yourself than me.

If you have questions you may place them here. Comments and discussion into these topics are also accepted.

-Zelda

[ USER: #E00707 in this lovely color ]

so hey we never discussed how a magical hen would induce feelings of romance
like how technicolor is this bird
could you hold it up so it could be a discoball
i guess id fall shades over heels for that kind of chick
youd think thered be more magical rainbow bird weathercocks around if that were a huge thing here though
i want a magical rainbow bird weathercock
also i think the forest is against us looking for a disco bird
because the forest is antidiscobirds
which is oppression tbqh
i am being oppressed by a bunch of dickass trees
which is BULLSHIT
but also pretty much par for the course

anyway waiting for quest day and the new month to come is so oldschool
so
i am officially opening quests up for business
thats right mr f you aint the only one who can assign vagueass poetical quests with random requirements

quest fuck you forest and your disco bird oppression:
find the sacred discochick
dancing queen of only seventeen
or whatever that is in bird years
requirements: hopping dance music

quest im bored and you should all entertain me:
tell the coolkid a fairy tale of your own creation
(authors note dirk isnt the coolkid)
(some offense dirk)
requirements: the ability to string words together to form sentences

quest usually we have to fight something:
i made a scarecrow and put it up in the garden
go defeat it in honorable combat
requirements: no sense of shame

quest something something feelings quest:
hug a tree
maybe if we hug enough forest trees
the forest will stop being a little bitch about us wandering inside
requirements: touching mood music

anyway if you complete one of my clearly superior quests you can go to the garden to get a prize
were on the honor system here folks
dont take shit you dont earn
or do im not the boss of anyone

ps if anyone figures out a way to get or make more film for cameras on the regular
hmu
peace out

pps the forest thing was john and i kept getting bounced back when we went to maybe consider finding this awesome discobird
and eventually went well fine fuck you too
after like
three attempts

ppps is there an upper limit to how many postscripts you can put on something im not even sure

ah, it seems i've lost some time
were those that were disappearing recovered safely, or are they still missing?

i also might have some interesting information
shortly before the disappearances began, i went into the forest with kaoru and mutsunokami
the path shifted around us to lead to a strange cottage, which was entirely empty save for an old woman
she offered the three of us information if we were able to answer her riddles

when asked what happened to the colors in the town, she told us this: "the color disappeared because something very important was forgotten by everyone in the Town, and therefore lost"

we also asked who or what #FFFFFF is, and she simply said that the answer is right before our eyes, "stated very clearly for all to see, if they only know what to look for"

i don't know much of what to make of it, since i only arrived recently, but perhaps those of you who have been here longer will be able to find clues in her words
unfortunately, she and the cottage disappeared as soon as she'd answered our questions, so it will likely be difficult if not impossible to find it again

[ hi, it's bruce. he has this horrible color and is being nosy again. ]

Two questions.

1) Of the items received and brought back from most recent events, has anyone gained something that can be used for the whole town? Things such as seeds, bandages, medicine, etc. It might be worthwhile to throw together a resource pool if it hasn't been done so already.

2) If you could pick something at all from home that would help you get through the day here, what would it be? A type of food, clothing you prefer, your favorite flower. Things like that. If you're comfortable with sharing, I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks,

Bruce.

Please complete these quests. If you do, there may be a reward awaiting you.

Once upon a time, there lived a young man in an azure district. While his family wanted for nothing in terms of wealth, the man's heart sought one most felt was beyond his reach. His heart's desire was a poor but comely man who hailed from the crimson district, and his beauty had already drawn several suitors from that same district to his side in the hopes of claiming his heart for their own.

The young man despaired, for he knew to approach his love whilst hailing from another color would be a fruitless effort indeed. Thankfully there was another, a true friend, a young woman of the brighter, sunnier district, who was there to offer her assistance. It was then that he was told of a legend passed down through her family: in the forest dwelt a miraculous hen whose feathers shimmered with every color of the rainbow. The one who obtained the hen and brought it back would achieve true love with whomever he gifted it to. But a warning accompanied the legend. If the hen did not come willingly, or if the seeker succumbed to temptation, a terrible curse would befall them.

Determined to acquire this hen, the young man entered the forest. As he walked deeper and deeper, the path grew more and more tangled, until he came to a split in the path. One path went left, clogged with bushes and brambles. The other beckoned right, golden flowers and gleaming gem-like rocks lining it.

The leaves of the trees rustled and sighed, and he thought he heard a voice, no more than a whisper, say, "No bond strengthens from an easy path."

The young man was then reminded that he would be tested, and chose the left path. As it appeared, he faced a difficult progression, and was becoming weary and parched when he glimpsed through the trees a clear spring where the water shone like diamonds. The path continued past it, but the man paused.

Again, the trees seemed to whisper to him, "No bond strengthens from a fickle heart that cannot commit."

The young man steeled himself and continued, his legs sore and bleeding from the brambles, until he entered a clearing. There, he beheld a beautiful hen with shimmering, colorful feathers. So gladdened by the sight was he that he did not heed the warning whisper of the trees this time, merely grabbing the hen and running back through the forest with it clasped to his breast.

The hen was presented to his love, and a marriage was arranged between the two of them nigh immediately.

But the forest was displeased, and thus laid a curse upon the young man and the entire town. From that day forward, the young man began to change. He found himself unable to care for his family. He found himself unable to understand why he had wished to give his heart to another.

And as his bonds weakened and broke and he failed to make new ones, he began to forget those around him. Eventually, he was last seen walking into the forest and was never heard from again.

But the forest appeared to have crept closer to the town, and the town itself began to lose the color it had treasured for so long. More and more of the townsfolk began to succumb to the curse that the young man had unleashed, and as more of them disappeared, the forest drew closer still.

Until there was no one left and the town was silent and drab.

To this day, the town waits for someone to break the curse, to restore color and to demonstrate once more the true strength of bonds.

THE END

Hi everyone! Hopefully this isn't too weird of a question, but my friend Riku was telling me there are some gardens in the Flavo district! What I'm curious about is whether or not anyone has been using them or trying to fix them up. If you are, how's it been going? Could I maybe help? And if not, would anyone want to help? Oh! And also, because I was able to travel home, I managed to bring back a lot of flowers and some gardening supplies thanks to my friends! I've been collecting flower pots around town to plant them, so if you need a little color in your life let me know! I'm up for trading and teaching people on how to take care of them! Thanks!! - Kairi

Hello. It’s Dextera. I appreciate everyone who checked on me.

I’m sorry that this post isn’t especially happy, since I’m not trying to put a damper on the nice festival we had, but I feel as if it’s important.

There are people here who are dead, in the worlds they’ve come from. It’s not a difference in time, as others have experienced. Nor is it the same as what happened to John and Dave and I, where we were killed here and revived days later.

Somehow, this town is able to bring people back to life, even outside itself, in order for them to serve some purpose here. I assume that if they return to their worlds, they will die again, unable to sustain themselves without whatever “magic” this town is able to work.

I realize there’s nothing to be done about this. I also realize that this is a Pandora’s box of information, since the perceived impermanence of death is a source of hope and despair, as well as fear, for many.

To those who are dead, please don’t feel the need to reveal yourselves. To those who have lost those they loved, I hope that this town will give you a second chance with them.

Thank you.

[The boy typing this message isn't his usual ditzy, cutesy self: Eliot has gone over a month without human blood, and his grumpy personality has taken over to address the problem:]

Please don't think poorly of me for this.

I'm looking for a living human who could donate blood to me. I am starving and can't stay awake anymore.

I don't know how many people my ditzy self told "I can survive off fruit juice and animal blood," but that was a stupid lie. It has to be human blood and from a living person.

There isn't much I can offer in exchange. I have an extensive memory and can recite books from my world, both for facts and entertainment. If I'm fed, I can happily recite anything you'd like.

Thank you.

hey sup despite this slightly less attractive shade this is dave i mean john is here but i am too and as the arguably more attractive of the two of us im going first i got more votes at prom that means its true but anyway just mentally call up my red i know you can do it obviously the rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated or like not that exaggerated that definitely happened but things are copacetic now aside from the weird few days where i felt like a reject mascot from a kids show what dave is TRYING to say is that hey, we're back. it looks like guren maybe sort of explained what happened (sorry guren! and okuyasu! and everyone else?) i think the boogeyman was defeated right? if we could get details on how it all finished that would be pretty good. here's a fun fact for you: when you come back from the dead, you get to look all sketchy and weird. i'm not sure we even recognized each other, we were just in our house assuming we were supposed to be there. we would have been in touch sooner but i don't think we could have been. it's been a couple of days though...dave probably has a more specific count. four days total dude two days gone two days in weirdass mode im not gonna go into minutes and seconds thats useless to anyone not me it was like being a coloring book only instead of waxy crayola goodness we were being filled with like speech and not looking creepy as fuck gotta say godtier revival is a lot neater than that bullshit and also generally more reliable bc idk how much we can rely on the sketch bullshit probably not dying is still an excellent course of action for anyone who prefers not being dead you know as per usual in more important news two days spent puttering around banging on the piano led to a life changing decision and were starting a band i would say a boy band but were accepting of all genders and instruments and like musical creeds although imma judge you a bit for musical tastes probably but like you can still come and join and hang and jam and john will judge you less probably maybe or at least hell smile goofily while he judges you so really what have you got to lose other than free time which lbr we all have way too much of were still arguing about band names or if an informal jam session even requires one hint john has awful naming sensibilities and mine are amazing ok more like the opposite of that is true! jeez. but like he said, we are actually open to people coming over and playing at our place. the piano is technically portable if we feel like it but i kind of don’t want to, so just let us know. thanks! oh. is there anything else we’ve missed in the last four days? thanks again.

Hi everyone! This is Riku Nanase!

I know we've all been worried about everything going on, but even though it's important to find a cure, thinking about something else for a little while might bring our spirits up. > <

So I wanted to ask if anyone who showed up here in the first group (3 months ago) had anyone they know come here last month! And if any of you did, did they say you'd been missing?

When my brother and another friend of ours showed up last month, even though I'd already been gone for two months, they told me they didn't realize I was missing at all! So whether it's magic or time working differently or something, unless it's just me, we might not have to worry about everyone back home thinking we've been gone for months!

Being here isn't always easy, but if that's true, then it makes me feel a lot better. So I hope it helps make some of you feel better too! We're supposed to be staying positive, so even if it's hard, let's try to think about good things like this!!!

Hello everyone! Caramia here!

A quick word of encouragement for making it through another town trial. An apology that you had to go through it to begin with. If there’s anything you need or want to talk about in that regards, remember that you have people here for you!! In all honesty, I was worried I might not see some of you again. It certainly felt nice to be wrong in that regard.

We’ve been given new quests, and one of them is something I feel I could help with!!! It says 20 people are required, and I don’t think it means all at once, but all the same, it would be nice to have it done in one fell swoop, right? I have to get things prepared, so it’ll take me a week at least to get it sorted, but would anyone like to join me for a positivity party get together? It would be fun, and a celebration for the people who really feel they deserved one (because I know some of you got ripped off for rewards), and finally as a big (pardon my language) “Fuck You” to this Oz-forsaken town.

Let me know your thoughts!!

Hello, everyone. It's Dextera.

I've recently come into the possession of a potion that allows me to speak with animals. It's limited in both quantity and effective time, but with everyone coming in recently, I've noticed that there are a lot of new animals running around the town. If anyone has very strong feelings about learning the emotions of their animal companions, please let me know. I'm willing to use the last of the potion to ask.

Additionally, it seems that the thoughts of the creatures in the forest are as distorted as their bodies. I could understand them, but I couldn't "understand" them. I did learn that the geese are very angry. For those of us who have been investigating the forest, I thought this would be of interest.

Thank you for your time.

My dear kidnapped kin,

This is Lupin, once again, along with monsieur Dave. You may recall my mentioning that the town we find ourselves in has yet to be properly named; my young friend here suggested that we hold a poll and democratically decide on a name for it here. If you care to participate, we can finally have a name for our little prison here.

anyway we have for you a collection of potential names in nonalphabetical random order
if you have a write in ill edit it into the post after
im also gonna keep track of who voted for what and how many votes a thing has
you can change your vote if you want or lobby ppl to change theirs but whichever has the most votes by friday will be what at least lupin and i use to call this place
and like maybe all of you if you abide by the rules of democracy
haha almost typoed that democrazy
anyway
without further ado here we go:

chroma 6 (dave, okuyasu, ochako, izuku, maribelle, shouto)
sunrise vale 4 (lupin, noctis, akira, yuuya)
deepwell 2 (emma, minato)
senkolora 2 (kyrie, caramia)
spero 1 (tellus)
garbageville 1 (vriska)
purgatory 1 (dextera)
grayport 0
ravus 0
grayton 0

if you dont participate absolutely nothing will happen to you except you will miss out on the warm fuzzy feelings of democratic domesticity and who really wants that
also maybe well make a town sign come friday to reveal the winner
anyway thanks for listening have at it

Thank you,
Lupin
& dave

Hey. Uh. It's Keith.

Something just happened to me, and I don't know if it's happened to anyone else.

I went home. I went home for months. But I'm also not sure I even really left? I've been gone... quiznak, a few days here? Maybe? It's confusing but I swear it's real. I remember all of it.

And more than that, I've got the injuries to back it up. You can't fake a fighter crash injuries under battle wounds just like that. And older scars I didn't have before I...

[He's fine. But the impressively colorful display of bruises and minor cuts that cover most of his body is pretty distinct at the moment, and not something he thinks could come from much besides exactly what he remembers happening. It all matches up perfectly.]

Anyway. I woke up in the woods. I don't remember going out there, but I must have. And someone or something stole my shoes, so that's... also awesome.

Has this happened to anyone else? What the hell is going on?

Oh.

Turns out I'm alive after all, by the way, if anyone was wondering. Back home, I mean.

And I have a mother.

[It has been... a really really weird day. He needs a hug. And to beat the crap out of something, but there's no training deck here so that's unfortunate.]

inheritance

Hey, it's Midoriya again. The shadows haven't acted up in a few days, so hopefully that means we've seen the end of those attacks for now. It looks as if everyone's color is back to normal, too.

[What isn't normal, though, is Izuku's text. Instead of the eye-searing yellow that it's been for the past few weeks, it's returned to the black that everyone had in the beginning. How strange.]

Since we're no longer fighting off our shadows 24/7, there's a couple things I wanted to discuss:

1. Has anyone else noticed color disappearing around the town again? I'm not 100% sure if figuring out the cause of this could help us restore the color in this place later on, but I think it's worth looking into.

2. If anyone's brought back something from the forest before, would you mind letting me borrow it for a couple days? I've been told there's something unusual about the items and creatures in there, and if we have more samples to examine, it'll be easier to confirm whether everything has the same properties or not.

whereabout

[ User #000033 apparently won the text color lottery, because you can hardly tell his color is there. The very opposite of eye-searing! ]

Hi, this is Joshua.

After we did one of the quests, Estelle and I found a crate full of live chickens in our house. We figured that a steady supply of eggs is probably going to be more useful in the long run than a few meals' worth of meat, so we're working on getting them settled in here.

[ Also, let's be real, eating them just seemed too mean after the chocobos decided these were clearly their tiny adopted offspring. ]

I'm not sure what the yield is going to look like yet, so we haven't figured out how much we'll have to share, or if they're even going to taste like anything yet. But in the meantime, while I think we've figured out how to get the yard fenced in well enough to prevent any escape artists, if you happen to see any of them wandering loose, we'd appreciate it if you could bring them back or let us know so we can collect them.

sup this is dave again
this time im solo if you were wondering
anyway im going to try to be brief and to the point up here but i know ill ramble down below
but major points to discuss before i inevitably just let my train of thought slam off the fucking rails and down into the valley of meandering metaphors

1) quest coordination
there are four quests and 1 requires 5 trios of red/yellow/blue
it says restore the written word which as a dude who is in possession of books purloined from a weird little forest cottage
i find compelling
i know of at least 2 trios who did or are doing this
me minato and ryoji
and egbert momo and izuku
so we need three more
if you are in a trio doing this or have done this lmk so we can be sure were clear
if you would like to do this or another quest let me know your name and color and i will play matchmaker in the interest of literary options to stave off boredom maybe being restored
i mean that sounds pretty cut and dry right
restore the written word

summation: leave me your:
name
color
what quests among the four you want

and ill sort you out
time management and group management are basically the same damn thing right
ftr for those of you who forgot the other quests are
-leaf hunting 1 yellow
-harpy hunting 1 red 1 blue
-wolves 1 red

also im pretty sure only i can time travel
and egbert kind of halfway but he doesnt fucking count rn because i told him to knock it off already
but like if anyone else has time related powers
heads up maybe dont use them in the town
i assume you already figured that out if you have secret time powers
but also i guess if anyone shows up with time powers
tell them not to go back or forward
freezing stuff or speeding it up didnt get me slammed with a naughty boy mental kick but like fun fact
i for sure got hit with some pretty ridiculously ominous flashbacks (flashforwards??? whatever)
when i was attempting to break my selfimposed time travel ban
highlights of my magical mental mystery tour included
-things eating ppl in the woods always a classic
-ppl going into the woods and never coming back because why not
-same via sailboats into the horizon which wasnt that like one of the end things in lotor??
-all you all dying in various fun ways so cheers to that
anyway i pretty much assume the powers that be are like dave my man
we like the timeline in this town exactly how it is so like
fuck off
and im gonna do the cool guy thing and raise my hands in surrender and go yeah ok
because doublechecking that a few times was maybe stupid and i dont plan to keep it up unless i have a reason to

ftr it works fine outside the town though so theres that
ok im going to cut myself off here because i kind of want to discuss the possibility the natives were elves who went off to elf island and that maybe detracts from my main points of "lets try to do the really fucking intense coordination quest please assist" followed by "if you want to do quests but cant find a partner bc youre too involved in standing at the edge of the ballroom floor trying not to look at the other kids lmk and ill be that one asshole teacher who goes why dont you dance with little susie she looks nice" followed by "time travel still sucks an update"
later dudes

Despite what most might wish, it's become evident that the lot of us will be here for some time. It's irresponsible to continue without a baseline to work on in regards to sustaining us long term.

A garden is a fair start, of course. However, with the ever-increasing amount of danger, it would be worth investing in a clinic of sorts.

It should be a designated spot, ideally as near to the center of town as is convenient, with supplies available for first aid. If anyone would care to volunteer to maintain it, it would be best to have someone knowledgeable on site or nearby, should their services be required.

We have healers among us to handle more extensive injuries, but if there are any doctors who might be familiar with more than just first-aid as well--perhaps medicine, or experience with making it? If not, then anyone willing to learn will suffice. We may not have the materials needed for anything extensive, but there are those among us who would benefit from even some basic supplements, I'm sure.

It's best to assign such roles early, rather than wait until it's required. We don't know when we might need it.

After a successful mission, I have been given a medium-sized crate full of blue-colored lobsters. There should be enough for at least one per person.

I will admit that I do not know how to cook them. Therefore, anyone who has the acceptable culinary skills and would be ready to cook for a group of people or even our current population is welcome to let me know what they wish to do.

Considering fact that they were packaged without any bands for their pincers and they are alive, we have put them under a sleep spell and bubbled them until they are ready for consumption.

Additionally, if you wish to claim one for a pet...or raise one, you may do so. I was told to let you know they are an adorable shade of blue. However take note that in doing so, you forfeit your share of the food provided.

I do not know anything about raising lobsters so if you have knowledge that could benefit us in the long run, please feel free to share it.

Additionally and of note: If you know where to obtain salt or salt water, please let us know to prolong the life of these creatures.

A brief announcement, as we’ve all seemed to embrace the trend of sharing important information on this forum: we have successfully begun cultivating a garden.

apparently when he says brief he means brief but anyway
flavo is now plus one flavor station
you could say its flavotown with guy fielderi
or not that you could also say not that
but yeah we just took over a random ass field and planted things
and then used a magical fertilizer known as time shit and also me
but mostly time shit which smells less bad than like bullshit but apparently has the same results
and anyway we used that to make stuff grow faster
you know for fun and profit
and also french fries
and now we are inviting you to help the fuck out because gardening is actually really boring
and also we could use a bigger variety of things to garden
i guess
right
hey how do we garden salt

Salt can be distilled out of salt water, with a bit of time and effort. Or was that intended to be a rhetorical question?

none of my questions are ever rhetorical i always want an answer
unless the answer is something dumb i guess but in that case i can always just make up that someone told me something not dumb
or i can just pretend i never asked
anyway that aside
were willing to probably reward anyone who wants to put in gardening time
like with weeds or things
or like actually giving us neat seeds or whatever
with food that actually tastes like stuff since thats most of what were growing
or just like food which is an important resource if you dont wanna die i guess
but also more importantly than any of that
french fries
because guess what tel made me french fries and theyre the bomb and i can now die a happy man the end
I didnt realize until this moment just how much i missed salt and that kind of warm greasy french fry smell and feeling
its chicken soup for the soul only way more satisfying and also probably less healthy which is what makes it more satisfying
you know you want in on this

That does seem a sufficient bribe, yes. Join the gardening effort; receive french fries. I’m willing to call that my contribution to the cause.

[ despite the fact this is all in dave's lovely red text, he is probably not larping talking with someone else. in fact, the other person is ignis scientia who will also probably respond to things. and as promised they have in fact set up a garden plot in flavo! thanks to dave's dumb time powers things they're growing there are on a month-week scale. for example, potatoes take 2 months but with dave applying some time shit they're taking 2 weeks. the garden currently offers: tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, onions, and wheat. these things all have flavor because they were made from things ignis had already from home! give them more stuff, obviously. maybe earn yourself some delicious french fries! ]

Black-as-can-be cats arrive a-pair,
Up on a rooftop, a plaintive eve,
And on the tips of their pointed tails hung
A wispy crescent-moon, looking hazy.
'O-wah, good evening,'
'O-wah, good evening!'
'O-wah, o-wah, o-wah!'
'O-wah, the man of this household is bedridden.'

A poem by Sakutaro Hagiwara, that I heard once from a friend. It seems things have calmed down since #FFFFFF arrived, but I wonder if that's the end of it.

How is everyone's literary analysis? I think we should be prepared for more mysterious messages, and maybe there's a way to prevent it before it gets bad.

inheritance

Hi, everyone! This is Izuku Midoriya, in case you don't know my hex code yet.

1. Since it looks like we're stuck here for a while longer, I was thinking it would be a good idea to try collecting more information on this place, specifically the forest. As of right now, it's probably our best bet for finding a way out of here, and it's a source of food, too. [No matter how bad it all tastes.] Yaoyorozu-san and I have been trying to put together a working map, but we just don't have enough information to work with right now.

What do you think of us all working together to map the forest out? If we're successful, we'll be able to mark out the safer paths to take, as well as where we can find anything edible. The more people we have for this, the faster we'll be able to get the information we need!

2. If you've already gone into the forest and encountered something like the shadow monsters or some kind of magical trap, let me know! I can put together a database of sorts on this forum so we all know what kind of danger to look out for when we head in. I'll keep it updated if we run into anything else during this group trip, too.

3. Not related to the information gathering, but has anyone managed to find anything like tshirts and jeans around this place? I've found some extra clothing while cleaning this past week, but most of them don't fit me and they're not really in a style that I'm used to. So, if anyone needs an extra set of clothes, come find me?

(ooc: Sign ups for the forest exploration can be found here!)

Please complete these quests. If you do, there may be a reward awaiting you.

Once upon a time, there lived a young man in an azure district. While his family wanted for nothing in terms of wealth, the man's heart sought one most felt was beyond his reach. His heart's desire was a poor but comely man who hailed from the crimson district, and his beauty had already drawn several suitors from that same district to his side in the hopes of claiming his heart for their own.

The young man despaired, for he knew to approach his love whilst hailing from another color would be a fruitless effort indeed. Thankfully there was another, a true friend, a young woman of the brighter, sunnier district, who was there to offer her assistance.

Seeing as I'm stuck inside for the time being, I wanted address a few questions here. Just... while I have the chance, I suppose.

[ Nevermind that he's sick with literally nothing to do beside cover his blanket in snot. Gross. ]

Does anyone's computer device show a date of any kind? It's cold outside and there are no calendars around to really indicate how long that's going to last. Or, even if time is actually moving at all. I would assume so, since there's a clock and a night and day, but honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised to hear if it wasn't.

Also, to anyone who tries going out in the flurries today: stay warm and be careful. If the water is strange around here, there's no telling what the snow will be like.

Oh! And alw;lmm

This is Lt. Colonel Guren Ichinose of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. I don't expect that to mean anything to any of you, but if it can make anyone take me a little more seriously, then I'll take it.

I'm sure you all saw the illustration of those apparent shadow monsters. If there are dangers, it means we should be ready for them, and somehow I've run into a surprising few people who have enough experience in combat. Some of them don't have any at all.

Would any of you be interested in learning how to fight? To defend yourselves? What about the capable out there— are you willing to teach, or spar to improve yourselves? Let me know, and I can set something up for regular practicing.

That's all.

(OOC: Basically, I thought it might be fun to encourage more random CR with both characters who would like to learn how to fight, and characters who already know how and are willing to teach or spar! If there's enough interest, I can throw up an ooc post with match up sort of things that can provide a semi-regular chance for new CR (via threading or handwaving). Let me know in your tag, or via PM if your character won't tag the post!

Edit: I put up an ooc sign up! Please remember to sign up there if you'd like your character to be included in some fighting (and friendship) styled pair ups!)

[ USER: #2471A3 ]

It appears that as a group we've all generally agreed to utilize this forum as a means of sharing relevant information with each other and pooling collectively our experiences as we grow acclimated to our new circumstances, so in a similar vein — a few questions, if you will.

1) Has anything verifiably edible (and safe for consumption) been found in the wilds surrounding this town?

2) Has anyone yet identified a foodstuff that isn't altogether flavorless?

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.

[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]
