WEEKLY BULLETIN
[Though the bulletin is always text, today it opens up as an audio file. Voices filter through, overlapping, and maybe you recognize a few from network posts in the past . . . although they seem a bit off.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Everyone fears something silly girl, silly child, so tell me: what is it you fear?

Answer and maybe we'll tell you something interesting in return.

Edited 2019-11-28 04:05 (UTC)

[ There's a pause on her end, because she is legitimately thinking about this. What she fears is more practical, honestly... after a few moments of silence, she speaks again. ]

I fear doing nothing and losing everything. I fear for the safety of those closest to me.

[There's an awful long silence after that. Minutes tick past, and then, in a different voice:]

You should fear a lack of knowledge.

Listen, soon, and l̴̡͕̹̦͙͊̓̔̂ ̴̗͗͂̎̐̿ȅ̸̛̲͠ ̴̧̳̟̖̻̍̑ā̷͇̖͕̠̞͋̀̂͝ ̶̻̾̓͝r̴̨͚͓̩̺͋̚ ̶̼̮́̂͗̚ń̵̡̟ͅ

[ It takes long enough to get an answer that it actually makes Luna think that they've disconnected, perhaps. When next an answer comes, the voice causes a deep ache within her heart, and she closes her eyes.

Regis's voice or not, she can appreciate that answer, for the most part. A little hint, perhaps. ]

Can you not educate me now? Will you at least tell me who, or what, you are?

We are.

[It's flat and utterly neutral, but perhaps it's an explanation. They simply are. It's hard to explain, especially when you're learning to speak on the fly.]

Listen. Listen soon.

I understand.

[ She doesn't, but she's also not going to push her luck. ]

I will be listening, I can assure you. Is there anything in particular I should listen for? [ A pause. ] ...Do you have a name or title that I can call you by?

[Oh. There's a lot of hissing in the background, static-y and impossible to ignore, but clearly not intended for her. A strange blip noise, and then, finally, a text:]

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[ A brow arches at all of the noises, and the weird blip and suddenly a text.

Okay. This has gone from feeling almost threatening to amusing. ]

A name; my name is Lunafreya. It is what people call one another so they know with whom they are addressing. Do you not have a name?

[ CAN SHE NAME YOU.... ]

[There's a lot of silence again.]

We . . .

[. . .]

We used to have a name. We do not know . . .

We do not know any-more.

I see...

[ That's just sad, and it reflects in her tone. She frowns. ]

Then, perhaps you need a new name, dear. Something temporary, until we can find out what your name was. Would you like that?

[. . .]

Yes.

[ Luna's... she's not the best with this. Not on a whim, at least. So she hums for a moment, considering. ]

Very well then. Hm... well, let's see. Do you have any favorite things or words to describe yourself?

[ Because the last thing Luna wants to do is give them a stupid name, or risk upsetting them with a dumb suggestion. ]

[More hisses and clicks in the background.]

Stars. Moon. Dark. Quiet. Dream. Tree. Bark. Dirt.

[ There's silence on her end as she thinks about these choices and different meanings. There's one that she can come up with off the top of her head; a name that would be reserved for one of royal blood at home, at least she thinks it would. They always went into deep meaning with their names... besides, the one that comes to mind reminds her of the name of the Founder King of Lucis, Somnus. ]

Somnium translates to dream, Visus can mean 'vision'... do you like either of those?

Somnium Visus Somnium Som Som Somniumumumumumum

[They have to taste these words. But finally, triumphantly:]

SOMNIUM VISUS IS OUR NAME!

[ Oh. Well, this is a pleasant turn of events. ]

I am pleased to hear that you like that name. Would you like me to inform the others of your new name? Perhaps, one day, we will be able to help you remember your old one as well.

Yessssssssssssss yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Then it shall be done. Would you have me deliver any other messages, dear spirits?

Hmmmmm no thank you bye now.
