I'm feeling somewhat benevolent today.
After hearing a combination of your suggestions and complaints, I've decided to share.
You know, health of the community and all that.
For those of you still wildly inept with your tablets, just poke the letters that show up in a different color.
[Attached to this message, (a function not normally available for network posts,) is a link which yields several downloadable applications. Thankfully they're not malware or viruses, but hopefully helpful things, including:
- An app that translates text in images into spoken words. Good for the blind (or the illiterate). As it translates into the universal language of Beacon, it could also be used for deciphering foreign letters. Just snap a photo and you're good to go.
- A drawing app. Not as fancy as photoshop, but you can use your hands to make pretty pictures with a variety of colors and line weights.
- Related: a map app. It comes with a version of the current known map, which can be updated by the community. Shitposting will be promptly corrected. You stop that.
- And finally, a game: sudoku to be specific. Are you good at math and puzzles? Let's hope so, otherwise this will be pretty pointless for you. (This one's for you, Noctis.)
All four apps download together, so you're stuck with them even if you only wanted one. But the file isn't exactly labelled in anything other than random(?) numbers, so I suppose you wouldn't know that anyway.
Have fun, Beacon!]

no subject
It doesn't, but if I learned anything from the last time this kind of thing happened to me it's that if you don't already know someone from home, the odds of them being from the same universe and timeline are really slim.
[ There had been one exception, Wash remembers, that poor sad Corbulo student who'd come and gone before he'd even been able to attempt to help her deal with what she'd been through. Probably for the best, honestly. He's not exactly the poster boy for trauma recovery. ]
I guess that's because they have nothing else anymore.
What kind of incidents?
And are you guys certain there's no one here but us and the lighthouse keeper?
There's something in the woods.
just fyi i got really baffled by how he was doing that with his hand in your icon
[A curt answer to get rid of any lingering sentiment. He was definitely not asking because he hoped to find someone from home. Definitely.]
Boredom is no excuse.
As for the incidents, it's probably better to let you see for yourself. Don't worry, I don't expect it'll be long.
We're aware there's something in the woods.
Multiple somethings.
What did you see?
oh no it's another guy's hand!!!
We may be dead but it doesn't feel like it, of course people still want to do things, accomplish things. To feel like they're still alive somehow.
So they set a goal, and then can't handle the thought of not achieving it.
I may never have wound up in an afterlife before, but I know what it's like to lose the mission. You need to focus on something.
And there's not much here.
Anyway.
It wasn't me but two people saw a light racing away from the church deeper north into the woods too fast to follow, then it disappeared and they heard something coming back towards them in the dark.
Sound familiar?
LOL I know it was just real confusing for a hot minute
[But yeah, anyway.]
Just a single light?
Besides the lighthouse and the bonfire, I have yet to see a single light that isn't a lantern.
So in all likelihood, someone was out there.
Whatever came towards them was probably something else.
