[text] @keeper; EVENT POST: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT [open]
Hi everyone!! I've got some exciting news!!!! O:
Oh, wait, hold on - a couple weeks ago Peter pointed out that you guys like super don't know what I look like or anything since I'm not around town. Whoops! I forgot! I'm sorry! So, like, here's a little selfie to dispel the ~mystery~...
[She attaches a picture!]
That's meeee. :) Super cute, right? But OK!!! Moving onto the fun stuff.
You should all head down to the beach like right away! I got some reeeeeeally neat stuff off the ferry this month to put on a little show for you guys... You might be able to see it a little bit from town, but your best bet is gonna be the beach! Keep your eye on the lighthouse!
And then after that, I have a cool event planned for you guys! I was thinking, like, the bonfire is still pretty contained in one spot, right? Rastus was telling me there's only a handful of torches around town, and I get that? I get that you want to like conserve this resource and all, super glad you're taking it real seriously, but like! It's meant to be USED, you know? Don't be that guy that hoards a buncha potions in Pokemon because "oh no what if I need all 99x of them one day!!!" but like, you're already fighting the Elite Four, you know?
My point is, Rastus is gonna be handing out torches like frickin' candy over the next couple days! You can take as many as you want, BUT you gotta make sure to place them around town to light this place the heck up! Put 'em in buildings or your houses or like, hell, you can light up paths and stuff to make traveling around easier! Put some on the beach to help with the dock you guys are building! IDK just put 'em in places! Use! The! Resource!
Sound good? Great! Come check out my little show down on the beach 'cos it's starting super soon! And then go DECORATE~ :) And be nice to Rastus since, like, between you and me? Talking him into a bonfire free-for-all was NOT easy. I owe him like a billion favors. You're welcome! Byeee!

The part I don't like is the part where we're on separate teams. Am I REALLY the enemy if I don't have a choice, either?
That's what's so fucked about this set up, you know. Our best shot of getting out of here is to have some sort of control over the situation, right? Me being up here is a benefit! Or, like, it should be! I can do so much!!
Buuuut then you factor in, oh, with great power comes great responsibility, and my perks come with the downside of having to actually initiate the reset sequence, even when I really don't want to. And it's not even like I'm taking away your life, really!! It's a choice between killing you myself or letting you die and also dying with you!
Me having that responsibility means I'm back to being the enemy. People don't want to trust me when their lives are in my hands. I know why everyone feels that way, but it's counterproductive.
I guess, just, like, don't talk to me about awkward positions, maybe. IMO you're the luckiest person here.

Luck has nothing to do with it.
Have you ever been down here during a reset?
You certainly weren't down here during the events that caused the last one.
Do you really think it's lucky that I was there for both?
That, unlike the rest of these people, I know what's waiting for us if we don't find some other solution?
Yes, lucky me.
Look, people are going to hate you.
They'll hate you for legitimate reasons and they'll hate you for nothing.
You're right, this situation's terrible, but you're not going to make a friend out of everyone so long as you're sitting there with your finger on the trigger.
That's just how it is, and you'll need to accept that.
The smart ones won't write you off because they know the only way out of this is to work together.
Fuck the others.
Just do what's necessary.
