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.

[WOW, amazing, this isn't Bruce Wayne pretending to be his son. This text sounds so different!! Like a tiny turd child.]

A community board is now established in the center of town to promote the accessibility of important information. Try not to clog it with anything useless or confusing for new people.

Anyone tampering unnecessarily or destroying the board will answer to me.

[Those visiting the board will see it has already been decorated with a map of Chroma and a garden list, but most of the space on the front and back is left empty for others to adorn it with whatever they would like.]

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!

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.

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.)

How pleasant that our captor has set up such a quaint forum for their abductees to haphazardly communicate among each other. They really need a better hobby.

Hello, anyway. My name is Yosano. A quick thank you to those who filled me in after getting out of the well. I’ve gotten settled in one of these empty cottages now, and intend to help investigate where I can about this town. I previously worked for a detective agency where I’m from, and can provide at least some insight.

But beyond that, I am a doctor. I intend to set up the extra rooms in this place as a makeshift clinic, and tried to pick one that was closer to the center of town for an easier access. If anyone requires medical assistance of any kind, I have some supplies here with me, including a limited supply of minor medicines.

Thank you for your time.

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.

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.))

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!!

_{[ Hey look, another rambley Homestuck with an incoming salty post. He's not the greatest at introductions so he's just going to bypass at first because ever since he's gotten here he's been real bitter about how things seem to be done. ]}

( Color. )
Not as if im entirely familiar with sir f (misses f??) and his evasive and mysterious ways considering im a spanking new arrival here but am i the only person who believes its sportingly manipulating of him to make such bothersome and specific demands from us? Has anyone ever seen who this entity is and if so has anyone given him a proper slug across the face for being so uncouth with his quests? Fucking christ *please* is a nice word for crying in a bucket.

Alrighty so that might be excessive in the violence but i reckon i should ask if anyone has acted with insubordination or maybe felt OH DASH IT ALL and told him off? Was there anything to come of it when somebody reacted that way?

Listen i just want to know if were dealing with one everfriggen lazy entity from heaven or hell or beyond who just wont do his dirty laundry or just some pesky mortal hooligan who is having a ripsnorter of a time putting us on these kinds of tasks. I think im more agreeable with the first statement as weve seen proof of things happening in result.. like today for example! Who the devilshit even knows mayhaps its multiple persons working side by side but i cannot help but run curious and would like to further my investigation but i dont know where in tarnation to start. Likewise i feel as if i could excel with these quests if anyone is up to par with combining forces with me.

Also i found a pretty coin and my gut instincts said i should toss it in the well and make a wish. Did anyone else get one? I feel like its fucking christmas but i cant help but be apprehensive about making a wish but i suppose thats just my overcautious ways ill probably definitely do it hehe. I have a movie collection to wish for.

Oh btw this is jake. I guess i should have said that first.
PS: i abhor this color with a burning passion so i apologize but i typically type in a soothing green but noooo evidently we cant have that either. :(

This is Nyx Ulric.

Guren got a hold of me to discuss Chroma's newly minted defense team and it appears that for right now I'm getting together with a group of you to cover the Flavo district. He said he already let everyone else know their teams so that cuts out me having to go door to door trying to convince people to follow me through the woods.

[Humor probably doesn't translate through text very well, but he wants to know what kind of people he's dealing with before he starts expecting them to follow his orders. Half the team don't even know him yet, much less have reason to trust him.

Onto business.]

Obviously we need to familiarize ourselves with each other's userhex, as well as get together to figure out how we're going to go about this. We're a small group, and while the districts aren't very big it's enough that if something happens seven of us might be unable to cover everything we need to. To offset this I propose we learn as much as we can about each other and Flavo itself in order to move as a unit comfortably in the space we're protecting.

If you guys could give a rundown of what skills you're bringing to the table I can start figuring out where to assign tasks.

Any of you who were able to go to the town meeting organized by Mitsuru will know that we discussed a designated defense force for the town. For those of you who weren't, or for anyone who wants a recap, I'll go over this as briefly as I can.

We know the forest is full of creatures not everyone understands, and that those dangers— or something similar— can leak into the town and cause trouble here, too. Those shadows were a perfect example, just like the speaking furniture. We're not always safe, and while there isn't always a threat that we can deal with physically to overcome it, having a defense force would make a lot of people more comfortable. Having people that are physically capable with someone at the top to organize them would be helpful to everyone, I think, especially those who aren't so combat ready.

So, I'm stepping up as leader. I didn't hear any opposition to that at the meeting itself, but if you want to know more about me, you can ask me whatever you want. Here's what I'm going to ask of all of you.

If you're interested in helping and capable in combat, no matter what methods you may use, then I'm asking you to sign up here. I'll keep a list of everyone, including their abilities and strengths/weaknesses, and organize this in a way that's most efficient. In order to do that, I also need suggestions.

Izuku mentioned patrols near the forest. That's one idea, and I want to hear any others that are out there, but here's the basic rundown:

I'll organize people by their strengths and put them in charge of certain activities or areas. How I do this depends on the number of people that sign up. If enough people sign up, I might assign ranks just enough for people to be able to report to someone even if I'm unable to be contacted or out of reach somehow. Once everyone who has wanted to has signed up, we'll schedule meetings and discuss what to do in case of an emergency, or other situations. Basic things like that are what I'm looking into, and most of it will come after I've heard from all of you, but let me know if you have any questions on any of it.

Before I end this, I have another quick question. What do you think our biggest weakness has been in all of this? What has caused the most harm, and if there was a drug that could aid you in this place, what would it be? A first aid or pain reducer? Strength enhancers? Magic resistance?

That's all. I'll answer any questions at any time as soon as I can.

- Guren Ichinose

(ooc: Gosh this got so long, but okay!! Like discussed at the town hall meeting, here's defense force sign ups and discussion!! This is just another great opportunity for CR and branching out thanks to IC discussion from characters (and thanks, Mitsuru, for bringing it up!), so feel free to suggest any and all things! Also, if your character wants to sign up but you don't want to tag this, just let me know oocly! You can hit me up oocly, too, if you have any questions or concerns with anything. PM me, or my plurk is

zeloser!

edit: just a minor edit, but sorry I'm slow! I meant to boomerang after work but I'll have to wake for my weekend mid/late saturday and on. I'll also throw up an ooc post/discussion thing for this at some point!)

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.]

hey guess who
honestly i expect you all to have memorized the best shade of red by now
or just my un
ey double oh seven oh seven
or idk does anyone else do stupid mneumonics to remember other peoples uns

not my point

anyway my point was
usually our get togethers have been like
yo lets share some information
or hey lets do x useful thing
which while for sure practical
sort of eventually gets to the point of feeling like youre working 24/7 with no holidays
you know aside from all that free time we have
wherein we cant watch tv or listen to music or read or do anything but stare at ashy gray walls
wishing for death
or at least a spider to crawl across the walls

i lost my point again
right

who would be down for a game day or smth
like maybe middle of the month so theres time to plan things
okuyasu and i were talking about at least capture the flag or whatever
split into teams go to town
capture the flag for those of you who dont know is just multiple teams have a base and flag and the goal is to steal the other teams flag and take it back to your zone
v exciting
and like if anyone has any games from home theyd like to add to the roster
we can do that?
possibly food can be arranged
it can be like a company picnic
only we wont do trust falls bc lbr some of us are easily distracted
and we dont want to cartoonishly build mistrust maybe
or maybe we do idk

so i guess this is an interest check
and also seeing what all people would want to do on a new national holiday
since we dont know when any of the official ones from home are rn
we can call it
not being bored day
i wish my iphone still had a charge day
i miss the public library existing day
or like company picnic day
idk we can discuss that
point is whos in

[ this would icly be planned for after newbies arrived, but dave needs time to plan and see who all might be in, maybe. hi. ]

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.

[ contrary to his fairly casual way of speaking, Lupin types on the forums exactly the way you'd expect a gentleman from the 1800s to write a letter. ]

My dear fellow abductees,

The recent events involving Shadows and Shadow-Monsters led to the unfortunate loss of my hat; with their activity subsided, I assumed that my stolen goods would be returned to me. However, it appears they had one last prank to play on me: I am reunited with a hat, but not my own. It is a navy blue pork pie hat with a red and white ribbon, adorned with a cute pink flower. I've attached a rather poor image of it - my description may be of more use.

[ attached is an artistic depiction of a hat. He did his best with the laptop touchpad and the paint program... ]

If you are the owner of this hat, it shall be returned to you. And if you have my hat - a fine silk top hat with a red tie - this is a notice of my intention to take it back, if you will not hand it over yourself.

Cordialement,
Lupin

[ This color is painful, sorry ]

Good evening,

My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. There has been a lot of discussion about our expeditions, possible theories behind the identity of #FFFFFF, as well as multiple posts about assigning roles and town duties. These are all important to go over in detail, so I come forth with a proposal.

We should conduct a Town Hall Meeting.

I have scouted three potential venues to accommodate our numbers: an old city hall in Ruga (my preference), a library in Bluo, or what appears to be an abandoned church or temple in Flavo. Some clean up might be in order, but to me this seems as good a cause as any.

Is this of interest to the community? If so, please state your interest here, as well as potential topics of discussion that we could cover in an orderly fashion. I am aiming towards a week from now, but a date can be adjusted.

Thank you for your time,

- M. Kirijo

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.

hey, it's john egbert! i don't know if this is relevant or not but i was wondering if we could contact #ffffff or not since they seem to keep contacting us. the answer is no btw. it comes back as "user not found" though. that's a little weird? i know keith mentioned someone who used to be here having his code struck through and i think this is maybe the same thing. so i have two theories. 1.) our dear friend #ffffff is someone who used to be here before we got here and they got sent somewhere else, or 2.) it's totally a ghost. anyway that's it! just in case anyone else was wondering or had other theories or something.

(User: #DC143C)

Hey... everyone. It's Keith.

So a couple things. I guess.

First. Someone brought it up already I think. A while back, but people are going missing. I know it's happened at least a couple times. Not anyone I ever really met, but one guy I was assigned to as a sparring partner, but I couldn't find him. It really seems like he's gone. Even his code has been struck from the network. Which seems pretty deliberate.

Is there anyone else?

If people are disappearing, or wandering off and getting hurt or... worse... I guess most people probably have friends to look out after them. Maybe not everyone though.

But even so, if people are disappearing and none of us know how or why. I think that's something we should probably at least think about and what it means for the rest of us.

Second. So I guess it's a little easier now that there are some colors to help remember, but the whole username code thing is confusing in keeping track of who is who. At least it is for me.

If it were voluntary, what do people think about putting together some sort of directory? Something we could keep updated and search by name and/or code.

It might help us keep track of people too.

And... If people do think it's worth pursuing, I'd be really grateful if anyone better at computers than me wants to help making it user friendly.

EDIT: And apparently some people are turning into statues. Which sounds horrifying. Anyone have info on this? Do we know how to reverse it?

passio

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.

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.

Hello everyone,

My name is Momo, so that you have a name instead of simply a number.

I have a question and a thought I'd like to bring up. The question is simply: are there any artists or cartographers here? I created a paper map, though it's not very good as I have little talent or training for art. I'd like to have it more formalized and improved on, if anyone feels up to the task. It would be useful to have in case there is an emergency so that we can respond quickly and come up with preparedness plans, I believe.

Secondly, I have been thinking about trying to put together central supply depots. There is a lot of material in this place, tools and bits and bobs, and a lot of foodstuffs that we might find a use for. I feel as though rather than leaving it scattered about, using some of the abandoned buildings towards the center of town might be an efficient use of space and cut down on some of our potential difficulties. I've already started adding some of the tools and materials I've found or created to a building by the well. Is there anyone else would like to assist me in making this a reality?

Thank you all for your time,

Momo.

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

[ He sneezes, smashing his hand down and preemptively posting this fiasco of a post, without finishing his thoughts, even. Learning how to social media is hard... Being sick is also hard. ]

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!)

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.]

Since there's fuck all else to do, I decided to try flying around and seeing how far I could get! Not gonna lie, I would have ditched every single one of you losers if I could.
8ut I couldn't! No matter how far or high I fly, there's just ........ nothing. Nothing at all! Though if you go up high it gets pretty fucking cold, so I don't recommend trying it to people who aren't dead.
Anyway, there's your upd8. We are even more trapped than we previously assumed!
