Re: Presence of Others on This Planet.

I have spoken with the Hint Machine at the Night Market regarding the presence of other sentient beings apart from ourselves, and while its answer was not entirely helpful, it has confirmed that we are not alone.

However, it has refused to provide any specifics apart form printing a crude image created from writing symbols.

[Attached is an image of the Hint-O-Matic's readout, edges aligned with the sides of the camera. He took his time ensuring it was even.]

Does anyone recognize these faces?

[ some time will pass before daylight responds to the post again and it's in a series of messages.

the first few messages of quick snapshots of the sketches that he made during the play. they're messy, smudgy things, with some only discernible from notes and comments day made after their creation.

one sketch shows two group of the spirit actors appearing to be in mid-tussle, seemingly in a fight over the 'lanterns' that the spirits-depicting-as-people have. the other group sport animal masks over the ones they already are wearing and that group consist of a a deer, a fox, a raccoon, and a rabbit. the animal-masked group gave the words 'the fire snatchers?' over them, a thing that daylight had jotted down that day.

the second sketch shows a spirit apparently dressed up to be rastus, waving a real torch around as the animal-masked spirits are attempting to mug 'rastus' for the torch.

the last sketch is of a banner that's been unfurled from the eaves. on it are the words BWAR FIRE SNACTHERS!!! in black paint, with two X-ed out bonfires on either side of the warning.

the last message is an actual message, with day simply going: ]

That's all I can find but it matches up to what I remember from the play.

Dearest Daylight,
Yes, that seems right.

But that gives me another idea. We should ask Rastus for his take on the story before we try looking for the fire snatchers, I think. Has anyone spoken to him?

Daylight and Aziraphale,

I believe we can include him in our next monthly meeting. We are making this a monthly meeting, correct?

[It's stressful not knowing how to schedule his month.]

The point is: We should all discover what everyone's interpretation of this is and plan how to approach the mines. If they are as dangerous as we believe, we can't walk in there without a plan.

Hey Mr. Ambus! :)

I don't mind the idea of having a monthly meeting and inviting Mr. Rastus and others along is a good idea. We're always finding and discovering stuff so having that could help get everyone up to track.

We could also ask Ms. Robin about this? She might know.

[legalcy]

Is she unable to be physically present at meetings?

If so, we should prepare a list of questions in the upcoming weeks and use her response to formulate an agenda for the meeting. For example, there must be a section of discussion for recent discoveries, one on what we know of Beacon and the World Eaters, and this latter section will center on these fire-snatchers and our theories.

Whoever they are, they are a threat and must be taken seriously if we are to make progress.

[ rosinante and sir cao pi will definitely like mr. ambus, daylight thinks to himself as he reads over the message. he's also glad someone is immediately concerned for the threat of the world eaters. a chance of pace, all things considered.

in reply, daylight tries to be helpful as possible: ]

Ms. Robin is the lighthouse keeper. The one who keeps tracks of us to the best of her abilities and sets up the bulletin you'll see in the network app every week or so.

She can't leave the lighthouse. I think the lighthouse is her lantern(?) and there's some sort of arrangement between her and the spirits. So we can't visit her physically but we can communicate with her via the network app, through her private inbox most of the time. Her username is @keeper, if you want to reach out to her.

She's really nice! She's doing her best to help us out too.

Mr. Aziraphale,

Not to my knowledge. I don't think a lot of us put a lot of focus on the play since, you know, all of our stuff was getting stolen at the time. Hopefully Mr. Rastus can enlighten us on what he knows about them.

He's usually found near the bonfire. Especially when the spirits are being mischevious. I can reach out to him if you want?

- Daylight.
