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.]

[ daylight has been debating.

but- he feels like the other should know- ]

You need to be careful. If you or anyone else decide to do that. [ he fumbles a bit, unsure of how to word this. he tries to not make it sound super alarming but- ]

There's a chance you'll lose something in the process.

What do you mean, Day?

[ Riku wonders when that started happening, when he started calling him Day instead of Daylight. He hopes he doesn't mind. It's... funny. All that effort to hide him away and Daylight had never been in any real danger. Not on the outside of whatever he was dreaming about, anyway. ]

[ huh.

daylight tilts his helm, wondering why riku is still using the audio. he tries to tell himself that he's being silly, that riku must be super busy in the wake of what's happened and what's happening.

and... well... at least it gives day a chance to try and form his words, with how much he's hesitating. ]

I- You know how I... Had to come back, right? [ day is most certainly not going to use the word 'die' here. not at all. but he hopes riku knows what he's talking about. ] When I came back, after our Friend returned me to the church proper, I realised that I-

[ ... ]

I realised that I can't see the colour yellow anymore. I've tried everything I could to fix my processors but it seems to be permanent.

Yeah, I remember. I thought we lost you.
Our friend? You mean the one who lives under that trap door in the church?

[ He's never actually met them. Part of that's been luck. Part of that's been pure grit and determination. And the rest of it? Picking his battles wisely. He still thinks luck is the greater share. ]

You can't see yellow? That started when you came back?

[ day really does believe the friend in the church is someone they can trust, after all they've done for them and from the few interactions day has had with them.

he wants to believe. at this point - it's one of the few things they have left in the wake of everything. but- come on, day. focus- ]

Immediately after I came back, yeah. This never happened to me back home as well, so it's not a preexisting condition or anything like that.

The only time I got to see yellow again was when I was dreaming-past searching-whatevering for the past few weeks. Should have known something was off from that alone, besides the fact there was light again.

Taking a gamble on coming back isn't enough, huh. Of course there's strings attached.
I wonder if anyone else has lost something. If they have, what was the price paid?
Is personal significance a factor? Day, is that color important to you in some way?

[ as auntie eps once said it: the good giveth and the good taketh away, to keeps things balanced and also f--- you.

(yes. day is filtering out the swears in his own thoughts. he doesn't like to curse.) ]

Yeah. The colour is important to me. It's silly to say but I like to dabble in art and the colour is really comforting to me. I love how it was so bright and vibrant and welcoming. Not being able to see it anymore is really upsetting.

Especially since this weird thing even affected my memory cores. Where yellow should be - the sun, the paintings of my Auntie Chris, my mom's hair in photographs - it's all grey or white.

[ ... huh. the sketch - the one he had labelled as his mom - that he had shown off in the scavenger hunt showed a woman who already had silver hair. ]

That doesn't sound silly at all. I'm pretty envious of people who have a knack for stuff like that.

Memories can be changed but in your case, it's almost like even the idea of yellow's been taken away from you. Memories are never gone completely, even if they're the name of something, or an idea. If it's linked to your memories, maybe that means there's a way to get it back.
Thanks for telling me, I'll put that down in the books. Hey, you might think about sharing this next time there's a meeting.
