If anyone has looked at the quests, you may notice that one requires “a new experience.” In the interest of efficiency, I am offering a spectacular opportunity that will be mutually beneficial for myself and any Red who chooses to take me up on my offer.

As you may be aware, I am what some may call a “vampire,” and as seems to be common amidst all the universes, I require blood. (Do not hunt me. I am capable of controlling myself without it and you will regret the attempt.) If you would like to exercise your altruistic instinct for a poor, thirsty maiden, my doors are open.

If that isn’t enough incentive, I am capable of temporarily turning you into the undead and doubling your strength. You will be under my thrall, but what is life without a little danger?

Serious inquiries only, please. I am especially looking for an arrangement with longevity.

Does anyone have any yen I can have? I need them for a thing. It's not like they're worth anything in Chroma.

Hey...it's Minato. I haven't really been counting every single day because sometimes things went wrong or there were those kidnapping instances and things like that, but...

Anyway, point is, isn't it getting close to a year now that we've been here? I'm not really sure of the exact day but we must be getting close. It's weird to think about, but it's kind of nice too. To think that we've been given all of this time that we otherwise wouldn't have had together.

[Yeah, together. Definitely not just in general.]

Well, it was just a thought. Like maybe we should do something for it, or something... I don't know if "celebrate" is really the right word, but it doesn't feel right leaving it without doing anything at all either.

Regardless, I guess one thing we should really consider is getting together again to talk about the things we've found or learned. It's been a long time since we've done any meeting up or chatting about that sort of thing. Organizing something like that sounds like a lot of work though, so maybe not.

That's all. Thanks for reading.

Good evening, this is Tonbokiri.

I would like to report to you all about the pieces of yellow map that were given to us by the town recently.

Once assembled, Jion-dono, Kaoru-dono and myself followed the map to a field in Flavo. There was nothing immediately visible, so we tried digging. We soon found a trap door, which opened onto a ladder leading down into the ground. Once we had enough light to investigate the room at the bottom of the ladder, we found a large wooden door.

This wooden door seems to be not only physically very sturdy, but also sealed by magical powers, as nothing can scratch it.
There is a keyhole, so anyone holding a key from the town is welcome to try it in the lock.
** I must warn, should your key fit the door, do not enter alone! The door gives of a malicious air, and there is very likely something dangerous beyond it. It absolutely should be further investigated as a group.

Until a key is found or some other clue is uncovered, that is all I have to report.

Given that the door has that dangerous air about it, I shall include it in my routine to patrol near there. Yet anyone is welcome to go and take a look for themselves at any time so long as you are cautious.
[[Directions to the fallow field in Flavo here.]]

It would seem that we have one more mystery to pursue here.

[A day or two into the heart nonsense, this post appears.]

This is Akira.

I have some experience with this whole "going into people's hearts" thing. The rules are different, so it might not apply, but here's what I know.

1. If something seems hostile, probably better to avoid it. Just because it's someone's heart doesn't mean you can't be injured for real.

2. If you find someone that looks like yourself, or the person whose heart this is, you should probably not hurt them.

3. Any other people inside are illusions. You won't be able to bring them out with you.

In my world, we could only go inside people's hearts if their cognition had become particularly distorted. Thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case here. Unfortunately, that makes it harder for me to know what to do to get out of someone's heart.

On the plus side, I haven't been thrown out of an airlock yet. [The worst.]

[ His font is this shade of red! Also, Akira may threadjack if he has something to say. ]

Hello. This is Ryo Asuka. A while ago, Akira Fudo and I went into the forest to observe the mutated wildlife and learn more about the origins of the quest monsters.

The regular animals reproduce just fine, despite their mutations; they have clear family units with children and we even found eggs in a nest. The mutations appear to be entirely random and aren't passed down from parent to offspring. I also observed several species that are completely out of place in this climate, such as bearded dragons, a genus of reptiles endemic to Australia. (For those not familiar with Australia, it's a continent known for its deserts and generally hot climate.)

When we tried to find where the quest monsters originate from, we ended up walking in circles. It felt like we were going in the right direction, but we found no origin point at all. We eventually gave up and decided to just look for the quest monsters and found a large group of harpies almost immediately. Unlike with the regular wildlife, there were no young harpies around and we found no eggs in their nests either. Of course, the lack of eggs can be explained by it being in the middle of winter, but it really seems as though the quest monsters don't reproduce at all and are dropped into the woods specifically for the quests.

We then headed deep into the woods and encountered a strange, powerful creature. It didn't look like any mythological creature I'm familiar with, so I've attached a sketch in case anyone is able to identify it.

[ Pretend there's a sketch here! It's kind of rudimentary since Ryo isn't the best artist around, but he gets the important details across: A strange faceless creature with limbs like branches. ]

Bullets barely grazed it and it attacked with sharp appendages capable of tearing through flesh and claws coated with some sort of poison—after it scratched me, fatigue began to set in immediately and it felt as though it was draining my body of energy. We quickly realized that the two of us wouldn't be able to defeat it so we retreated. It took me several days to recover from the poison and the scratch healed much slower than expected.

This is just conjecture on my part, but I believe this creature might be some sort of guardian that doesn't want us to get past a certain point. If we could defeat it, maybe we'd find something worthwhile. I've heard other people have had similar encounters; if you've met anything like it deep in the woods, any sharing of information would be appreciated.

I have no idea what to do with myself without him.

Just a few days and I feel completely helpless. I thought he was the one clinging, but I am the one who is clinging, right? But he is like this now and I do not even know how to take care of his pets while I wait.

I have fed them but what else do these chicken things need? Food, water, warmth... what else? Am I doing this right? I have no idea.

I hope he is normal again soon. I can't take this. Maybe my wish backfired. My bad luck again, I guess.

Since apparently we are all confessing stupid shit we've done l8ly, I've got one!
I can steal luck, 8lah 8lah 8lah, let's not w8ste time on that part. Instead let's focus on what I stole luck from!
That 8ullshit palace we were all freezing to death in a few days ago was pretty enormous, right? Good place to try out some luck stealing powers without totally wrecking something actually important. You'd think that, right?
Wrong!!!!!!!!
Instead, some 8izarre shit happened, which I guess I should have 8een more prepared for. ::::/
First I tried to steal the luck of whoever 8uilt the place! Pretty str8forward, right? Wrong again, asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It felt like there wasn't anyone there to steal from. At all. Which is weird!
I've tried to find Mr. F 8efore, and my powers at least led me somewhere. This time? Nothing. Nada.
Since that attempt was a total failure, I tried something else, which was to steal the palace's luck!
And this is the part I think you all should know.
Shockingly, this also didn't work, 8ut........
It is hard to descri8e.
I guess the 8est way to put it is that I got some 8um luck! It feels all fake and strange and gross. ::::(
I know that likely doesn't make sense to any of you. It 8arely makes sense to me! If you know anything a8out my powers, then you know they are designed to make me luckier. I CAN'T make myself less lucky, or give myself 8ad luck. It just does not work that way.
Except for this time, apparently!
It is kind of making me think that entire place ......... wasn't actually real?
Unfortun8ly, I can't offer a comparison between it and Chroma, 8ecause I haven't tried to steal from the town. Too risky!
So there you have it. If you've got a theory, I would like to hear it!
In the meantime I will just 8e eating shit constantly while I try to figure out how to get rid of all this crappy luck, I GU8SS. >::::(

so...i know we have a lot of people who can do amazing things here. i don't suppose anyone has the power to cure the common cold?

or, you know, prevent fevers?

anyway! i'm just asking for a friend, it's not a big deal if no one can help. [It sort of is a big deal but since this illness, according to Shiho, the cold wasn't entirely normal in nature she doesn't want anyone to feel bad for not being able to help.]

oh and i was wondering...how many people here come from a place with christmas?

no bonds from an easy path
ok whatever mystery story
MAN
is anyone else feeling like this story is like
homework
in the sense that you like do it and then forget about it until the deadline
ie the next time we get a line
and then you reread it and you do as much as you can but you never cram in enough time to finish the thing
maybe homework isnt the right thing
maybe its like being forced to read a sentence a month of a story
no more or less
which
i guess it isnt just like
but

okay moving on
so you all know how i can time travel right
sometimes
i can time travel in the forest fine and like outside of town
so
my plan is to do that
and then just fucking walk back to town
and see how that goes
and maybe also siren island
i suppose technically i could do the woods too but eh

is anyone in
i can take people with me that makes it safer right
or i guess more dangerous
but hey
im stellar company to do crazy dangerous things with
and im pretty sure itll be fine
i havent come back to tell myself to knock it the fuck off or anything
that counts for something right

Everyone,

I know a lot of people are worried about being here rather than home, so I wanted to share something I had learned recently. I was sent back to where I'm from, and as soon as I arrived, it was like I had never left. The man I was traveling with didn't even realize I had been gone, and so far as I could tell, even though six months passed here, it was only a few moments at the most in Columbia. However, it doesn't hold true for the opposite. Obviously, I'm back now, but I did leave here for a few days.

In case you're worried about being here, I hope this helps you rest at least a little more easily. It's definitely possible to go back.

Also, if you're feeling homesick, there's something I might be able to do. It's complicated to explain (though I certainly can if you want the explanation), but I can create portals to other worlds. However, before you ask, we can't use them to leave Chroma, since that's too dangerous. But I do want to get better at controlling where I can open them to so that maybe this could be possible eventually. Showing people how their homes are doing feels like a better way to practice than just opening random ones over and over again. If you'd like that, please let me know. It's something I can at least try.

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.

So this post goes up at a very late hour. Such as 4:17am. People are usually asleep around that time, aren't they? Whoops. Needless to say, Ryouma has had a rough night unbeknownst to anyone but himself and now can't quite fall asleep. So. To the laptop he goes!]

Let us think on some things, my fellow insomniacs.

Though I guess I should also say if you've woken up just to read this, then don't be silly like me. Get yourself comfy again and shut those eyes. There we go, that's better, hm? You can always come back in the morning.

But, I was saying. I find myself being kind of contemplative tonight and I figured we can all (well, those of us still foolish or unfortunate enough to be awake at this hour) bounce our thoughts around. So tell me, what do you think it means to be "alive"? Is it purely a physical thing? If you're breathing and your heart beats, then you're good to go? Or do you qualify it with gained experiences, such as enjoying certain foods or falling in love for the first time?

Is there something else I haven't thought about?

Personally, I fall more into the second camp. I could argue that life isn't worth living if you have never sailed on the ocean at least once and experienced all that it entails. But then I wouldn't begrudge anyone who is simply happy being physically alive. And that's important, too, for sure. You can't rightly live through things if you're actually dead.

Let me know. It feels like it could be a long night.

[ color and with apologies for the length i'm so sorry about sebastian ]

All,

Before I get to the matter at hand, please allow me to introduce myself if I have not yet met your acquaintance. I am Sebastian Michaelis, the head butler of the Phantomhive household, though from my conversations thus far, I do expect that this may not mean anything.

Regardless, as the season seems to be autumn, I have some inquiries and matters to bring up with regards to winter. After speaking with Mr. Arisato, I was given the impression that this may not be being prepared for. So first, if you are making preparations for the upcoming season, please let me know. This brings us to the main reason that I am reaching out.

From my understanding, no residents have experienced the winters here, and so I would believe it to be of critical importance that we over-prepare with the idea that the winters may be quite harsh. It is better to assume the worst and have extra rather than the opposite, after all. As such, here is a list of the most important tasks that should be undertaken to ensure a survivable, if not comfortable winter:

Firewood - Wood should be collected and cut for firewood at a steadier rate than current. While it is not impossible to collect firewood during the winter, if there is a snowfall, it is much more difficult and could not be used immediately. I am used to preparations for a manor, so my estimation may be off, but I expect that for a particularly harsh winter, the houses here should expect to keep between nine and eleven cords of firewood. Storage for keeping the wood dry should also be built if you do not wish to or do not have room to keep your stockpile indoors.
Chimneys - Similarly, all chimneys (should your home have one) need to be cleaned in preparation for increased use. If you do not know how to clean a chimney, I offer my skills for this, since it is not a straightforward task.
Winter Clothing / Blankets - The clothing that can be found in the town may not be glamorous, but it is a good start for clothing more suited for the cold season. As you are running errands, pick up the clothing you find, since simply layering clothing is the best option to beat the chill. If you truly despise it, keep the fabric and begin making blankets, or donate it to someone who has the skill to do so. Similarly, for those of you hunting, please take care when skinning your animals to keep the fur as solid as possible. This fur can be used to line existing clothing, or larger pelts can be combined to make quite comfortable blankets once it has been treated.
Garden Preparation - While there are some crops that can be grown in the winter, they will not be as simple to undertake, especially in the case of snow. As the garden seems to be staffed by quite competent individuals, I will not delve into this topic too much unless requested, but I bring it up as a reminder, should it be needed.
Food Preparation - And most importantly, a portion of the food being currently harvested needs to be preserved. There are many methods with which to preserve both crops and meat alike, but the methods to best preserve each are dependent on the type of food it is. For example, some crops are best dried, while others should be pickled. If you would like my recommendations for a particular item, I will be happy to provide it.
General Maintenance - If your house is in a rather dilapidated state, now is the time to make any repairs you may need. The less sealed the house is, the more cold will seep in. It is especially important that you try and repair your roof if it is in poor shape, since it will help the most in keeping your home warm.

I personally have begun with these tasks, so if you would like instruction or simply company for them, either would be my pleasure.

And finally, as a general offer, if you are ever in need of assistance, do not hesitate to reach out. The nature of my profession has left me with a great many skills, and so I would imagine that I would be able to help with a great many tasks.

Thank you,
Sebastian Michaelis

looks like the update to our monthly fairy tale is something something something split path
who wants to take bets on what monsieur blue finds at the other end
ghosts goblins ghouls
maybe a zombie or two
or like
the bird???

but yeah happy halloween i guess
im just fucking assuming its probably near halloween
since the quests are very halloween themed and it seems to be fall
for those who dont know what halloween is bc youre from universes without halloween in a tragic twist of fate
it is an overcommercialized version of a holiday that once was absolutely fucking nothing like what it bcame
which is like a night where you go around the neighborhood and shake people down for candy
while dressed in some inane costume of like a cat or a ghost or a ghostbuster
in the dead of night when your neighbors probably just want to go the fuck to sleep or relax on their sofas watching home improvement shows
but hey anything for candy right

so bottom line its octoberish maybe
for anyone who uses that system of dates
btw we should come up with a month and day system
does anyone care if we do seven day weeks four week months and twelve month years or do we gotta hash that out
i was supposed to ask a while ago
but i forgot

also
the garden is now transformed into a pumpkin patch with optional trick or treat trail
i have put up lazy barriers to keep out the apparently invading skeleton army
which
doesnt seem that threatening honestly
we should keep them around for the ambiance
but anyway dress up as some sort of creature or character or object or what have you
and come hand out treats
or if you are okuni i suppose play tricks on ppl
hi okuni
anyway yeah ill keep this running for like the whole month stop by whenever
im going to make masterpiece pumpkins and we should absolutely have a pumpkin carving contest
which i will obviously demolish you all in

[ he very much Will Not, but dave will try anyway. the game-mingle for pumpkin carving + trick or treating can be found over here!!! ]

[ Clark's had... a rough couple of days. Rough, because one of the things he'd been using to anchor himself a little in this strange place had disappeared. It's nothing anyone has probably noticed, as he's very good at keeping his emotional turmoil to himself, but even he can tell that his writing is stiff and stilted as he puts up a message he knows is necessary.]

Good afternoon, all. Clark Kent here.

It has come to my attention that Bruce Wayne has disappeared from this place. If there was a project he was assisting you on, please feel free to consider me at your disposal to assist in its completion. If there is something that requires attention that you know he was working on, I'll be happy to see what I can do. Obviously, there's no replacing him, but I know he'd hate to see necessary work being stalled or stopped because of him.

Otherwise, I'll be near the well around 9 starting tomorrow morning for anyone who'd like meditation instruction.

Good day, all.

(it's ur homie)

aight gather round for okuya$u's latest creepy town update
and don't tell me not to do it because i already did it so suck on that
but while half of us were sick as shit and the other half were kidnapped me and emma went to check out the well

like from the inside

u nerds out there might wanna write this one down

mostly it was just cold and wet (no shit) but overnight it exploded with magic? at least i think it was at night
kinda hard to tell from in there
it was pretty much just blinding us for a couple min but we already know the well's gotta be magic so what else could it be? magic

[This is the best explanation he can come up with, don't @ him.]

and we saw some crazy stuff! i saw people building the stupid well, like other people, and it was normal and nobody was a fucked up monster or a ghost or anything!
and emma saw more mystery people moving into town and then all of us were dots by color like on lupin's map but magic
and people were connected to stuff that has color i think?
so mr. F must be keeping track of who's "fixing" what stuff with the wrong damn colors

don't ask me what stuff ur stuck to on the color map though cuz i didn't see it
and i haven't seen emma since the other day in the well so
she's probably gone

that's all i got this time folks
well still sucks, mr. F still sucks, we're all still here
mostly

Hello again. Clark Kent here.

Fresh toiletries ready, including soap and toothpaste and washing soap.

More importantly, though, there is something I happen to know that might be helpful in dealing with some of the more esoteric issues we've had to handle in this place:

I happen to know a number of meditation techniques, especially useful for those times when facing temptation or altered states of perception/emotion. I'd be happy to teach anyone interested in learning. I found them very helpful during the werewolf problem.

Just a thought, of course.

(color!)

so hey, it's john egbert. nice to meet you if we haven't met yet, etc. minato and i were talking a little while ago and we thought it might be a good idea to start throwing together some kind of guide for the town and for people that are new to it. stuff like who to reach out to for certain resources, maps, information about past quests and how they work, the forum and the list of ids we have...just stuff that would be useful for people who are new or people who are still finding their feet. so basically, would anybody like to help put that together? i think maybe someone already did or someone talked about it idk but combining forces never hurts. isn't that what we're doing here anyway? guren has his defense force and bruce and lupin made a map. minato has information about resources around the town and izuku i think had a beastiary going and i can talk about the quests and death and stuff, but any other information we think could be helpful would be good. sooo...respond if you're interested in helping out. thanks!

[ in this attractive shade of red!! ]

sup everyone it's Michael again
now with a BRAND NEW PAINTJOB (check it!!)
ok but seriously i got two things to say

first off: last time i posted on here i made promises about sharing stuff i got from out my portal basement
and i wanna make good on those promises cause it'd be a dick move to do otherwise.
so i was wondering if anybody's up for pulling a D&D group together?
disclaimer: i have never played D&D IRL, and also the DM guide i hauled out my portal is both hilarious AND useless because who has the time to memorize every single page of that?? (spoilers: not me!)
but i got dice and enthusiasm and a broad strokes understanding of how it works which imho makes up for it
i also dragged a handful of board games and stuff out so as much as it pains me i'm also putting those out there if anyone gets bored of questing and wants to just kick back and chill.
i dunno where is the best place to do any of this but i'm open to ideas!

second
no joke but last week i opened my front door to find an oldtimey milkbox crammed full of pecans.
i mean SERIOUSLY crammed. there are more pecans here than i could ever want to eat.
so if anyone wanted to make pecan pie, or literally anything else with pecans? i am totally willing to share my windfall
i'll even do home delivery if ya want!

[ 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.

some of the phenomena i have heard about in this town bear similarities with ones from my own home, ones that are caused by these beings
i would be curious to know if they ring familiar to anyone else

in that vein, i'd like to investigate the surrounding forest, but i've been warned against doing so alone
if anyone should care to accompany me, i would appreciate it

finally, i was told i should speak with a midoriya and a maya amano for further details about our situation
if anyone knows where i can find them, or how best to contact them, please let me know

thank you

[Until she got home and it was just her and Shiho, she hadn't even realized that they'd been gone so long. Or well, she learned afterwards that Shiho did know but hadn't told any of them as she navigated them all home in a way that avoided everyone patrolling the harbour. Then Shiho told her when they were back and well, as much as she wanted to just go to sleep after everything she had to at least let everyone know they were fine.]

this is kaoru. me, shiho, midoriya-kun and ~~ei-chan~~ eijirou all made it back okay. i'm sorry if we worried anyone. i didn't think we'd be gone this long.

so anyway...there are monsters under the water too. and it turns out if you try to explore underwater the way we did when we went into the forest it does that creepy thing where it makes it so you can't see anything around you.

except there's no fog. because you don't get fog underwater! it just turns pitch black.

we ended up being kidnapped by these bootleg mermaids who don't understand that housework should be done regularly so they don't end up with a HUGE backlog of chores. i guess they did make it so we could breathe, but like, they're still kidnappers! and ugly! and terrible home-makers!

2/10 for hospitality, would not recommend for marriage.

anyway, we ended up back on the beach after we were finished and we have these neat pendants!

funny how this place keeps giving us clothing and accessories...but a lot of it is pretty ugly. if someone wore all of it together...i can't even imagine how that would look. it might be worse than the clothes we found in this place and i didn't realize that was even possible!

Okay, hit me if that's a stupid question or somebody's asked this before, but has anybody tried to make some sort of stairs or a ladder into that well by now? With the frequency we have people struggling to get out of it I'm starting to think making a permanent climbing help would make sense. (Maybe also something like a 'first arrival bus stop hut' with blankets and a poster with FAQ while we're at it.)

What a curious device this is. And, a very convenient means of communicating as well — but I'm going off on a tangent.

My name is Ruva, and I'm what one calls "new" here. There seems to be a language that involves gesturing with one's hands, and I was wondering if anyone was willing to teach it to me. I'm afraid I have little to offer in compensation, but I would be ever grateful.

[he means sign language.]

Also, if I'm understanding correctly, we're to complete these quests? While I'm still trying to grasp all this, I'd like to be of help, in those or around the town. I'm not much good in a fight, but I make for a decent healer, if that would be of use to anyone.

[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.

(cha boi okuya$u)

hey big news
first of all if any of u guys are trying to find mr. F we should do it together
makes more sense & maybe no one'll fucking die cuz this asshole has nothing better to do but tell people to do stuff that'll get em killed

second thing
something's real screwed up about the well
nothing new so nobody panic
but if u try messing with it it's gonna mess right back
so i guess everyone who told me digging under the well was a dumb idea: u were right but not cuz u knew what u were talking about
lucky guess

["don't @ me" - okuyasu nijimura, 2018]

third thing
how do u set up a bonfire??

oh and this is okuyasu if u never saw me on here before
sup

[Hmm, yes, all very illuminating Hot Takes.]

(color!)

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.

[ He wants to address the losses. He wants to do something about them, but the guilt of them still eats into him: he'd been a wolf at the time, dangerous in a violent situation, and he'd been doing his best not to become a danger.

The problem with Superman as a violent beast is that he is more than well aware of exactly how fast and deadly he'd be without the mental barriers he puts in place not to be a danger. And keeping that from being unleashed on the town had been his priority.

But it still stings. All the same-]

I won't say much about everything that happened over the last few days. That said, I'd like to thank any and everyone who assisted in making and distributing the cure. As well as those who did all they could to defend the town. Suffice to say, you have my thanks and appreciation.

But as always, there's more to do so hopefully, here is where I can do my part.

It took a bit of processing, but I've managed to make some passable (if flavorless) toothpaste, washing soap for doing laundry, and soaks for strained of aching muscles.

For those who help medically and for those who are involved in our farming efforts, I'm happy to provide access to the rest of my store of epsom salts, and anyone is welcome to some of the baking soda if they need it. There are limited amounts [ because both had involved a somewhat complicated chemical process that he'd managed using some hastily welded pots and pans scavenged from where he could find them, minerals found in the ground with his senses, heat and processing and pressure provided by his own eyes and hands... ] but I'm happy to give what I have to our efforts.

I was also looking at the possibility of introducing some sort of running water to the town, perhaps utilizing a water tower to produce the pressure necessary. Nothing as complex as what we're used to, no doubt, but maybe we can make it a little less difficult to get water for people.

And last but not least, I'm going to do soap classes, spinning classes, and weaving classes on [ insert appropriate time and date here ] but let me know if you can't make it and we'll work something out.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be brighter.

Sincerely,
Clark Kent

[ooc: please assume if he promises you something, it'll get delivered to your house (or would have been delivered to your house if you asked for soap) unless you want to play it out]

Okay, so, a couple of things.

First off, probably useful for people to know right now: there's silver in them there hills. Forest, I mean. There's silver in the woods and you really have to look for it because it's buried, but it's out there. I found a ring in a chest, and I have a feeling given this place it's not the only one out there.

Second off is magic. I keep seeing people on the forum offering to use their talents to help make things better for everybody around here, so I guess I figure I should throw my figurative hat into the ring on that one, too. I was telling a guy recently that my magic is kind of like clay, and the spells I can do are like molds for it. Just because I've got molds for hearts, stars, and horseshoes right now doesn't mean I can't someday figure out how to make clovers and blue moons, too. It's just...working out how to do it, the first time.

Example: I've overheard enough people complaining about there not being any hair gel around that I went and figured out how to simulate it with magic. I don't need it myself but hey, trade me a favor and I'll do your hair for you, if it means that much to you. I'm a helper.

But yeah, I figure if I can do that, then maybe I can do other stuff, too. Things people think the town needs — above and beyond just putting on music for the local prom, I mean. So I'm taking ideas, if you've got them. I can't make any promises, but...you know, I want to help. Even if it's just really random, stupid little conveniences. Like maybe I can enchant a bathtub to heat the water you put in it or something, I don't know. I'm good at tricks like that, it's kind of what I do.

Third thing, and this is kind of out there but I just wanted to see if anybody else has been having thoughts like this too. Does it ever seem as though this town is, like...some kind of entity in its own right? Like a thing with a will of its own?

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.]

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!!!

[ Days of searching for a cure finally paid off, Zero finds the missing cure, or at least most of it. The small slip of paper he uncovered in an old building in Flavo sits at his desk as he posts the following. ]

The werewolves. I found a cure for them.

Goldenthorn and screaming stickweed. Where do I find it?

There's a third ingredient, but I don't know what it is.

Update:
The base cure is made up of 3 ingredients. Goldenthorn, Screaming Stickweed and the last is unknown.

Goldenthorn: Mix Spitfire Stickweed and Screaming Fieldcress. Information provide by #FFDF00. No one seems to have it.

Screaming Stickweed: #B9536C combined two plants to make Screaming Stickweed. 3rd unknown ingredient: No progress.

Base Cure: #49809C has some instructions on how to mix the ingredients together (Tangled Snowdrop to a base cure)

[ ooc; feel free to start your own conversations, zero will be updating this post as more information arrives ]

Ok chucklefucks, listen up 8ecause I've got some important shit to share.
So I have these super gr8 luck powers, right? And no one is going to ask me off-topic or inane questions a8out them or say anything idiotic. Gr8! Anyway, I used these powers recently to try and track down our friend (that's something called sarcasm for those of you who don't know it) Mr. F.
And my powers led me to the well, which was super weird. I felt positive that I was on his trail, and then I got the stupid well instead. So make of that what you will.
I also found something.
A gold locket. It's definitely gold, and it's got this gemstone, 8ut that's still gray. Convenient, right? Not to mention there's nothing in it.
8ut.
It's important. To this town, I mean. That's what my powers made me feel! Like it was connected to this town's history in some major way. I am certain of it.
If you want to see it, you are more than welcome to come take a look. I'm in 8luo. If you know where Minato is, you'll 8e a8le to find me! ::::)
Shouto was with me when I found it, so you can ask him a8out it too, if you want.
Also, I'm taking suggestions on what I should use my luck powers on next, since using them to find Mr. F was kind of a 8ust. Keep in mind I can only make myself lucky, though, not other people.
8ut I want to use this a8ility to unravel this piece of shit town's moronic mysteries!
So if you've got ideas, shoot.
Cool, thanks.

Hi, Chroma! This is Izuku Midoriya. We got a lot of new people since the last time I posted, so I thought I'd introduce myself again in case we haven't met yet. Anyway, there's a few things I wanted to discuss.

[Oddly enough, even though the newcomers' texts have all gained color recently, Izuku's is still the default black.]

1. I've finished the bestiary of the creatures we've come across in the forest & town so far. If there's anything missing, let me know and I'll add it in. I'll do my best to keep this updated and open for anyone to access on the forum from now on, in case anyone goes into the forest and comes across any of these again. Even if we keep running into new creatures, knowing what to expect can still help a lot.

You can find the information here: ╭( ･ㅂ･)و✧ (ooc: pretend it's a link to another forum post)

So far there's just this digital version, but I can also work on a physical copy to put in the library if people want that? It'll be easier to include drawings of these creatures that way.

2. It looks like there's a clear trend in the kind of creatures that we're running into now. The majority of them are from some kind of mythology, all from different cultures. A friend of mine was able to analyze some samples brought back from the forest, and it turns out that these creatures don't have a history, as if they were created solely for us to run into while we're in there.

Right now, the bestiary only includes the ones we know for sure are around, but after hearing what my friend had to say, I think it would be a good idea to add a section for other well known mythological creatures as a precaution.

What do you guys think?

3. That brings me to the next point! If you let me borrow something of yours last time, you can come pick it up now! Or I could bring it to you, whatever works.

4. I have a manual charger now! If you have a small electronic device that you want charged, just let me know and I'd be happy to help you out! I think it's only enough to work on cellphones and things like that, but that's better than nothing, right?

Hey. It's Keith.

A few things.

First. I've talked about it before, but we really need a directory of who is here, a way to keep track of each other. On the network and off.

Right now the only one who knows completely who is here is the jerk that brought us here in the first place. And then more people got dragged here too. With how dangerous it can be, I think it's good to keep track of each other. And to help know who belongs to what network code.

So. Let's get ourselves a list before something else happens. Names, network codes, general idea of where people are living, so if things go bad we can keep track of ourselves. Hit me with what you've got here.

I'll try to keep it updated as people come... and go. And if anyone wants to help with that, let me know.

Second. The boogeyman. Seriously?

[And oh god the really awkward part of all this.]

Third. Uh... so. It seems a lot of people... in Ruga at least... wound up with a picture of a purple, pointy-eared woman. That's my mother. So I... will take those.

((ooc: so Keith is trying to put together a directory, in effect making an IC version of the Takens page, if anyone wants to help him out with this project.))
