( Hello there, darkness dwellers. Is this a new voice you here? It sure is, lucky you. The accent is Australian, broad almost to the point of cliche, and there's something oddly lackadaisical about it, given the... well. The everything, really. )

So, not being funny, but has anyone, I dunno... fallen off the ferry and gotten a bit cuddly with some mysterious glowy, kinda ethereal-seeming tentacles?

Asking for a friend.

( is this hell? where else could such a pun go unappreciated? )

okay
okay but the whole thing with lakes and forests is that they're ecosystems
they're made up of life, that's sort of how they work
like they got the living organisms, key word there is living
and then they got the non-living components and that
I don't get a lake can be dead

[reigniter]

[It's actually starting to look like hell recently, yes]

I don't know how Forest Spirits survive
But if they are similar to us, they don't have to eat
There aren't many plants in the forest, aside from thorns and weed. There were a few weeks where we could hear cicadas but we didn't hear them. Also, flowers bloomed but died fast and the entire town smelled like a graveyard.
If there is anything living in the lake, I do not know what sustains it.

[magnitudes]

oh my god
this place is fucked
I'm going to start trying to find and categorise plant life or something to blow off some steam

please give me some good news
are there like
cuddly bunnies, or something?

[reigniter]

I will gladly lend you a hand if you need it
My combat skills, in case we run into something very dangerous, are really good

Good news?
...
Full moons are pretty.

[Ignis, that's not reassuring.]

[magnitudes]

Sure. How's your tolerance for bad jokes?

I mean, I do love a full moon. I feel like this is the kind of place where superstitions about the moon could all come true and that's kind of terrifying, the more I think about it.

[reigniter]

I end up being accused of making them, so I think I can safely say: good.

Well, nothing moon-related has happened. Yet.
Aside from bonfire torches, it's the only other source of light.

[magnitudes]

Great, you're in. That's all I need to know.

Yet, don't say yet. That's a surefire way to jinx us.
God, this sucks. I really don't love the dark.

[reigniter]

A little bit of humor does tend to keep the spirits lifted. Even if it is "bad jokes"

We did light up the place a bit with this last request from Robin
But yes, nothing can replace the Sun
All we have left is to work towards the goal of bringing the light back somehow.

sorry for the slow, I was totally wiped out by work this week :'|

[magnitudes]

are we the spirits that are being lifted?

( it's funny bc they're dead, right
that's hilarious, right
help her )

who's Robin?
that's okay, we don't need the sun
I'm here, and I'm bloody radiant

[reigniter]

hmmm that is a good question. After all, we don't need forest spirits flying around

[Yes, he gets it. He's not helping]

Robin is the name of the Keeper in the Lighthouse
Well now
either you're bloody, or radiant
you cannot be both at the same time

[ :) ]

[magnitudes]

maybe you can't, but I'm an expert
I can be anything I want
except right now I'm hungry and that's really overwhelming my ability to be anything else

so the Keeper in the Lighthouse
sounds potentially really great or potentially like they could be a murderer?

[reigniter]

If you do not have aversion to bagels I can bring you some over

[He ran into some people adamantly refusing to eat bread so he has to ask]

I usually don't speak of her aside from mentioning her involvement with the events that transpired in the past months
And I let people form their own opinion about her.
I don't want to be accused of turning people against her

[With the way things are going, she'll do that herself.]

[magnitudes]

how morally bankrupt would a person have to be to not love bagels?

I mean, that isn't exactly filling me with open minded confidence
but I like your style
