[text] @keeper; EVENT POST: WILD HEART PART TWO [open]

[beaconkeeper]

Heyyyyyy everybody... I hope you're all doing okay. :( Rastus has been keeping me up to date. Did everyone make it back alive? Do you guys need anything?? I'll grab some extra medical supplies for the next ferry.

Oh! Speaking of medical stuff, word on the street is that the green-eyed spirits have cleared out from the hospital and stuff. Whatever sorta rescue mission you guys pulled, it sounds like it was effective. I'd maaaaybe take it easy for a few days since we have OTHER STUFF to worry about right now, but once that mirror lady and her goons clear out, you guys should go check out that med center!!! There's a bunch of useful stuff over there.

ANYWAY, I hear the Wild Hunt is in town. :/ I don't LIKE that they're in town, but Rastus is Mr. Diplomat over here and HE thinks the polite thing to do is to let Kimiko hang out for a couple days since she was kinda helpful or w/e. Ugh. I guess he has a point since like, they DID help get all you guys outta trouble... And Rastus says Kimiko's all offering to have her cave gremlins teach you survival skills and crap, and they'll help clean up and help anyone who's hurt, so like, OK FINE.

But this is just temporary!!! I said the Wild Hunt is only allowed to stay in town until Thursday, and by Friday they'd better have scurried back to their dumb mines. >:(

Just don't let them make you drink the koolaid, OK? I don't know much about them because they've been in hiding for yeeeeears and it's not like they keep in touch!! All I know is the spirits call them the Fire Snatchers and they apparently really want to destroy the bonfire and stuff. They're all, oh let's just let ourselves get munched by World Eaters!! Sounds super duper fun!!!!! /rolls eyes

If you got questions about them, maybe just ask Kimiko? And then, like, LMK... 👀 I gotta compile notes on these guys now because that's my job. They don't have network access, so we can talk smack all we want and they'll never see. :P

I hope you're all doing OK ❤❤❤ bye!!

You know, I've got a whole lot of questions about this.
("But Peter, when do you NOT have questions?" I know, I know. It's a deep character flaw slash highly endearing character trait and all part of that patented Parker charm. I can't help it.)

But there's only one that I really want to know the answer to first: or what?

[beaconkeeper]

Hey, same here!!! All kinds of really weird stuff is happening this time. Something is up. :/

What are you "or what"ing about??

[webshoots]

"and by Friday they'd better have scurried back to their mines".

...Followed by when you say we've got 'other stuff' to worry about, do you mean the stuff related to all of this, or do you think there's something else on the horizon?

[oh look who's here to play both sides of the coin...]

Are you saying their goal is a true and final death for this world? Then why rescue us?

[beaconkeeper]

I don't frickin know, man!! I'm baffled too. I always thought they were the bad guys, kinda??? That whole play the forest spirits put on a couple months back wasn't lying - they've totally been known to steal lanterns and kill people in town.

Maybe they want something from you guys? Orrr they want to sucker you all into joining their weirdo cult and live out in the woods like feral woods people???

[pure_havoc]

I see. A shame the spirits still have problems communicating, I would never have connected their Fire Snatcher to play to these. People.

Fortunate that I have never had designs on joining cults. They never end well. I assume you were hoping they would leave us alone?

[plentystrong]

well the SPIRITS just cut us open and replaced all our blood

so i don't trust them as far as i can see in this special magic darkness

How do you know they don't have network access?

You did not either until we reconnected you.
