WEEKLY BULLETIN

[This week, the bulletin opens with a video. It's been shot from a webcam that seems to be perched atop a computer screen, and in front of the screen is Robin, biting her lip as she types frantically. If she meant to start recording herself, she doesn't show it. A timestamp in the corner reads 17 NOV 03:02.

The room behind her is cozy, resembling the control deck of a battleship as redecorated by a teenage girl. That's essentially what it is, after all. The red beam of the lighthouse flares occasionally at the top of the screen.

Robin's harried typing continues for a few moments, uninterrupted, until a shadow slinks up from the staircase behind her. One by one, strings of fairy lights flicker out, the room going dark save for the glow of the screen. Robin finally notices just before the last of the lights die, her hands freezing on the keyboard, but she doesn't dare turn around, not yet.

This video comes with sound, and everyone's device's volume will crank to max volume to really emphasize Robin's shaky breaths as she listens, head tilting to glance over her shoulder at the darkness. The image flickers, crackling with static and distortion, until—]

[Robin whips around, her chair toppling over as she stands, but the video crackles again, and she's flung back against the desk. The computer screen crashes to the floor, taking the camera with it, and the feed stays focused on the floor for a long, long time. Eventually, it fades into static.

When it clicks back on again, the camera has been cocked up just enough to pull the room into view again. The timestamp in the corner reads 28 NOV 14:26.

Robin is slumped against the wall, filthy with blood and sweat, eyes glassy as she stares up at the forest spirit looming over her. The spirit cranes their head toward the camera, their eyes flashing green, and they wave to the viewers in a clumsy, jerking motion. Then, they drop something heavy and metallic in front of Robin, and she jumps at the sudden noise. It's a lantern, long broken and in pieces.

The forest spirit tips forward at the waist, bending down to press their face against Robin's as she whimpers and tries to keep still. They negotiate their forehead against hers, their green eyes flashing until she musters the courage to look up, and then they trill.

There's a scream, and the feed again cuts to static.]

@ Soldier

[worthallthis]

No.

Crowley tried to fly there. Crowley died trying.

[catholicisms]

I really don't give a shit about Crowley. He's an idiot, and there's no chance he thought it through.

( jesus christ matthew. calm down. )

[worthallthis]

[Wow that. Was unexpected.]

Okay

But flying will not work. He and Lunafreya were literally swatted out of the sky

[catholicisms]

( it truly was. it takes a lot to get Matt that heated about anything. but nearly killing a bunch of people during the ferry incident did the trick. )

We'd have to have people on the ground for defense to stop that from happening.

[worthallthis]

[Oh dear. Does Matt know the Soldier was involved in that? Maybe he doesn't know the Soldier was involved in that.]

Many of us are very injured and some of us are still dead

[Which is to say, it will not end well. There's a pause, then a second message:]

See if Robin wants you to first

[catholicisms]

( NOPE . . . . but honestly he'd still be mostly bent at Crowley. it was his dumb idea. )

I'm not asking anyone injured to risk themselves before they heal, but those that aren't should try. She's a part of us, a valuable part. I'd suggest the same if anyone else were potentially injured and stranded in the dark.

She seems to be trying to send us a message, but I'm not sure about you but I don't find it very convincing.

( nothing about this screams "i'm totally fine, guys! no worries!!!" )

[worthallthis]

Ask her directly before you go

[The Soldier is tired guys. They can't really muster the energy to protect you idiots, but if they have to they'll do their best.]

If she says to come and my handlers let me I will come to try and protect you. But only if Robin says to come

[catholicisms]

( well, Soldier, Matt isn't asking you to protect him. you've earned a tag out on this one. he's more than happy to die trying to help someone, if he thinks they need it. )

I'll try, but it seems like she's already tried to make contact, and there's something wrong. I don't know how much of an answer we can hope to get.

[worthallthis]

[Maybe not, but you're going out into the forest right on the heels of a major attack. And the Soldier's still in "protect at all costs" mode, since the attacks basically only stopped yesterday.

They're not gonna let a bunch of people go out there with no supersoldier backup. Well, unless Misty or Javert say no, anyway.]

Tell me what response you get or if you don't get one. I will make sure my guns are loaded just in case.

[catholicisms]

All right.

( if he gets an answer, he's confident everyone would want to hear it, anyway. )

[originallutece]

Robin's survived countless resets. I imagine she'll survive this if she managed to type all that.

You, however, will not. Each attempt towards the lighthouse has ended in death. Do you really imagine you'll be different?

[catholicisms]

There's limited chance we can find a way to stop the world eaters before they arrive to finish what they started. By your logic, we should just give up now, because the more we look the more of us end up dead.

That's not a good enough reason to not do something. Maybe it won't be different, but that's not a good excuse to sit on our hands.

[originallutece]

Don't take what I said out of context. Storming the woods in an ill-fated attempt to help a woman who has proven herself to be more than capable is a far sight different from giving up for the next two years. Kindly note the difference.

(just reading the discussion)

[featherknives]

[...can you upvote the comments here? No? Not even a like? Damn. Xayah agrees but she's a bit out of it for detailed discussion.]

[catholicisms]

I don’t see a difference. The odds being low aren’t a good excuse for not trying at all. Just because she’s capable, doesn’t mean we should assume she never needs help.

[originallutece]

Is that what you tell yourself before every ill-fated adventure?

Try, then. And when I see your name on next week's bulletin, I'll be sure to hold back my I told you so.

[catholicisms]

I have to tell myself something. Some fights are worth fighting, even if you lose.

( to be fair, risking his life for a good cause only killed him the once! he's got great odds!!!! as far as the told you so, he manages a sad huff of a laugh. )

Something tells me you won't. Can I get that in writing?

[originallutece]

[She bites back a very pointed comment.]

If you survive, Mr. Murdock, I'll make an entire network post.

[catholicisms]

( he's a lawyer. he had to try. )

Lucky me.

@badeaux

[ultraviolents]

Matthew.

[ surprise elektra!!! probably coming from the next room tbh ]

[catholicisms]

Elektra.

( two can play at the saying names seriously game. though, after that, he does sigh. )

We have to try. I know there are risks, but there always are.

[ultraviolents]

I'm not saying 'don't try' but I do think going in without a plan is only going to result in more death that could be prevented.

[ she's not eager to see his name on that list. ]

I know how loathe you are to let things wait, but time has already passed. Taking more to decide on the best course of action instead of storming the lighthouse blindly isn't going to result in her being any worse off.

@darkness : voice

[evulsed]

[ look he still doesn't like you but ]

At least one of you has a brain.

[originallutece]

My, my. Is that a compliment?

[evulsed]

Don't flatter yourself.

It's not hard to be smarter than these buffoons. They just happened to gather all in one place.

I don't know why you'd bother holding back when they prove you right.
