[After several attempts to leave her room and get some fresh air are thwarted by her housemates, Estelle's going crazy. It's nice and all that they're all concerned, but a girl can only stay in bed so long resting before she wants to pull her hair out in frustration. The fact that 'so long' amounts to about 24 hours is another issue altogether.]

So I suppose asking people 'If you were stranded on a deserted island, name 3 things you would bring' is pointless now, right.

I'm sick and stuck in bed. Tell me something awesome that's happened to you recently? Or not so recently. I think we could all use a pick me up right now.

[She's grown bored of attempts to train chickens to bring her things. It's not working out so well.]

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 bogeyman that was hiding in town has finally been defeated, but it was at the cost of three lives. Dave, John and Dextera. I couldn't save them. I'm sorry.

Okuyasu and Asuka are badly injured, but are currently being treated for it. [He is too? He's bleeding all over his laptop, but it's fine.]

Dextera's body changed into something else, but the other two are still remaining. I think they both have family here, or something close. You can contact me and I'll tell you where they are, so you can arrange a burial or whatever you think is best.

I take full responsibility for this. There's still going to be a defense force meeting at the beginning of next month, so we can talk about it then. I know there could still be people missing from the werewolf thing, too, so keep your eyes open for them, alive or otherwise. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.

That's all.

[Of course, after this, he'll be in his room at his laptop, so people are free to come bother him. He's covered in blood, most notably a stab wound straight through his chest at the heart, and it looks like he's only partially been able to deal with that. He's not bleeding out as quickly? But his healing isn't working. He's only just barely come back to consciousness from Mahiru taking over.]

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.

Hi. This is Akira Kurusu. I'm the leader of the patrol team for Bluo for the foreseeable future.

Now that hopefully everyone is out of the well, I'll be around Bluo helping anyone if they need anything. Bluo is the district with all the bridges and the boathouses. Be careful if you're exploring. Some of the bridges are out and some of the boathouses are rickety. We've been trying to clean up what we can.

Of course, if you're reading this you've already found your laptop and your house. Congrats.

For the rest of the Bluo patrol team, try to be around today when you can to help any new people find their laptops and not drown.

...Maybe we should have matching armbands. [Like a disciplinary committee?]

I'll check replies to this post later tonight. That's all.

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

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.]

so that whole last week sucked! i don't think i got much sleep and i'm sure it's the same for everyone else.

SO LET'S HAVE A SLEEPOVER! [What does the two have to do with each other, exactly? Well, sleepovers are fun and after the week and a half everyone had they could use a bit of fun.] i was thinking of using the church (at least i think it's a church?) but it could use some cleaning up so if anyone wants to help that'd be great!

actually, please help. i can't clean up that whole place by myself!

IT'LL BE FUN. we can play games, tell stories, do each other's hair, and have skin-ship moments--the possibilities are endless!

normally, i'd say it's girls only...but we're modern people! [Well, she is. And it's not as if the guys didn't have a hard time too.] so to make this fair, guys can come to as long as you're willing to contribute one to one of the 3 Cs! Cooking, cleaning or crossdressing!

any guy who shows up in a dress will be christened hermione and allowed to stay!

girls just have to show up and be their usual cute self! [How is any of this fair? It just is. Really though, if a guy shows up and just wants to have fun she probably won't stop them.]

oh and do we have anyone who's good with technology here? there's a favour i'd like to ask.

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.

Greetings, one and all. My name is Maribelle, and I trust by now we're all aware of the situation we're in. I believe we should be ready for whatever comes our way, and seeing as we have so many unanswered questions, that could be almost anything. The one thing we can be sure of is that we need to work together. In that same line, I wish to keep a track of everyone's abilities, both mundane and powerful, so we can make the most of our reluctant visit.

For example, we're in great need of seamstresses, blacksmiths, and farmers. But we could also use more people with healing magic, such as myself, and all those with combat skills will be called upon should we ever go into battle. My skills with this sort of metal contraption are lacking, so until I can figure out a way to make this list stay on screen for all to see, you are free to visit my shared home if you wish to see this for yourself once all the data has been compiled.

Now then, I'll start us off.

Maribelle : Healing Staff, Elemental Tomes, Horse.

Lastly, I wish to apologize to those I met recently and informed me that there are different kinds of magic that can be used without tomes. I may have reacted a tad childishly to this information.

[BUT SHE'S STILL NOT ACCEPTING A CERTAIN BOY IS A GOD, HELL NO.]

Hello again! Are you used to seeing my string of letters and numbers yet? I think I've spoken to you all often enough, or it feels like I have. It's Caramia!

This may feel a bit impersonal, as I am addressing all of you, but I hope you'll find comfort anyway. Even if you just needed it a little bit. Most of you have probably been victim to the constant proding and poking from the furniture, which is a sentence I never thought I'd write or say, but I'm sure I'll say stranger. Know that you're not alone, know that we realize it can be agonizing, and if you are tired or frustrated, know that above all else, we should understand. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, or even to everyone, but this is just for those who need it, I suppose?

We can get through this. If no one else, there's at least one person who believes in you.

Feel free to chatter with each other! Maybe give a compliment to someone? Say something nice? Counter all the negativity, if you will. If not, I'll be here for you. And if you'd rather not speak publically, I'm not hiding. I'll be in Ruga if you need an ear.

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!)
