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.

This is just something I have been thinking about lately ...

I'm finding that by talking to others in this world, that my home has some things that are completely normal there that people here have definitely never heard of or experienced in their own worlds.

I'm curious, what are some things in your worlds that you've come to find don't exist in other worlds?

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.

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!!! ]

So I know this is probably the last thing I should worry about, but I feel like I've had enough time to go from quiet existential crisis to kind of actually bored.

What do you guys do for entertainment around here?

pursestrings

(as usual, cha boi)

hey it's okuya$u w/ another weird thing the well does if ur in it when ur not supposed to be

but 1st: if u don't think the well's the baddest thing around town don't bother b/c i'm not gonna start caring abt ur whining now
2nd: zelda went w/ me this time so don't give me shit GUREN

the well ain't doing anything weird right now but just u wait

Feel free to ignore this message, as I am about to do something that is called, I believe, "venting it out". I am aware I could merely write this out and then delete it without posting it, but if the people, person, or things behind our abduction are reading this, then I do want them to see this.

Now, it has been my theory that those who were brought here were chosen for a reason, be it their fighting prowess, magical talent, skills in farming, cooking, gardening, people with leadership potential, and so on and so forth. But with this recent batch of newcomers, this theory of mine has been shaken to the core, if not entirely dismantled.

Because what in the name of every sacred god in the realm could a small CHILD possibly be of use towards us and the restoration of the town? I don't care if her tears can cure diseases or she can summon demons with a snap of her fingers, there is no reason to tear a child from their parents and thrust them into the frightening arms of a stranger! This is cruelty beyond measure, and I will not stand for it! Mister F, or whoever decides these things, let this be my official declaration of war towards you!

Because if I should ever be in the presence of the psychotic madman who thinks their pathetic town is worth scarring a little girl for life, let it be known you shan't escape my wrath! I'll make you rue the day you ever laid eyes upon us!

Pardon my language, but when we meet, I'M STICKING MY PARASOL UP WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE!!!

I had hoped to feel a little better after getting that all out, but it appears my rage is not so easily quelled. Suggestions are welcomed.

Hello. This is Giorno.

If anyone would like me to help build a farm, that would be wonderful. The animals are on me, I just need a place and a couple of helpers to feed and keep watch. I'm a city boy, I don't know what's involved in farming, but I'll do my best.

I live at [ directions here towards a yellow house in flavo, covered with flowers. ] if you need anything else.

Thank you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[After approximately ten years figuring out how to use his laptop, it's really a blessing that the forum is so simple, Phoenix delights in how similar this is to writing and throws out an offer to Chroma.]

i made a discovery the other day.
theres a forge near the center of town but it doesnt look like its been used in awhile.
i realized recently that i cant do the same things everyone else does but this is something i am good at.
so if its okay id like to take over the forge.
i can make and repair tools and weapons if necessary you just need to show me what you want.

[Okay, maybe not that similar, he still has a lot to learn, and he totally forgot to even introduce himself, but he'll probably pick it up. Some day.]

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!

Greetings, all. This is Maribelle. Every other month or so, I ask all our newcomers to please provide me with a list of their abilities, so I can keep an updated list in my house in Flavo. For example, my contribution -

Maribelle: Healing Staff, Elemental Tomes, Horse.

In other words, what you can provide for others should they need help in anything. Cooking, magic, sowing, flight, and so on and so forth. If you've already listed your abilities, feel free to provide me with any updates about anything you've learned since then, or if anyone has left our town. The list will always be freely available at my house.

With that out of the way, I do have a slightly more serious issue on my hand. I have been without my companions from my realm for several months now, and it's occurred to me recently they were more necessary for me than I first realized. Without them by my side to keep me in check, I have, to my great horror, realized I may have become a bit snobbish.

Rereading that, I am willing to admit that it may be an understatement.

Anyway, with that said, I would like some assistance to keep me grounded, in a sense. What are your suggestions to make sure I do not continue to be so boorish in the face of decent company?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE END
