GREETINGS!

I LOVE BEACON! this is such a great town! i wish i could have seen it before it flooded but i think it is still very good and just needs a little bit of care to make it even better

that is where i come in because i am very good at looking after things! dr. solis always had me look after her things and she had a very large number of things to look after and so do you because see! look!

THERE ARE [87] TORCHES REMAINING

[and attached is, well, a photo of the bonfire]

like that! do you think it would be ok if i help look after these?

An OOC note: Say welcome to Beacon's new bonfire keeper! When requesting or turning in torches, Clara will now be the one to deal with as Rastus is gone. However, she is not in charge of item requests the way he was. We will elaborate on how item requests work soon once the location post for Solis' Lab goes up.

Oh, I don't see why not.

None of us are quite up to the task.

none of you? oh no oh it is such a good thing i am here to help! i would not want any of you to lose any of your light! then what would you do?:(

[immortalaccursed]

We'd perish! Darkness would devour the world and that would be end of that.

[A beat.]

Worst case scenario, naturally.

Luckily, you are to help! And such an earnest helper you are. Why did you not speak to us sooner?

[candlebot]

previously i was very occupied with existing tasks set by dr. solis and because i was told not to go onto the network in case i was much too friendly with people who only wanted to destroy dr. solis' work! my access restriction was lifted with the release of the emergency protocol

and before i could not come to town either! it is very hard to walk all this way and i am not made for walking long distances but [KUAI LIANG] and [MATT MURDOCK] and [MINIMUS AMBUS] helped me get here! so here i am!

[immortalaccursed]

Where would we be without our scouts and warriors?

Please do forgive me for not being in the party that went to retrieve you. I am not one for the great outdoors, I fear. My talents lie more in the creation of stratagems than the execution thereof.

[candlebot]

it is ok! i think not everyone from town would have fit in the lab all at once! or at least not all in one room but here now at the bonfire there is space for me to say hi to everyone!

what sort of stratagems do you create? that sounds like fun!

[immortalaccursed]

Military. Such is the life of a politician.

You find many things fun, don't you? How I wish I shared that enthusiasm.

[candlebot]

yes! i sometimes wondered what it was like here with everyone and thought maybe you were all having a very good time but dr. solis told me that post-mortal existence is actually very hard! so it is ok if you do not find everything to be good and exciting

but there are things that you do like in BEACON, right?

[immortalaccursed]

I've been in worse company.

[candlebot]

you have friends here!!!

i am so glad because i need more friends! dr. solis was a good friend of mine but so far i like all of you also! it's nice to see so many people around!

who are your best friends [ARDYN]? i want to meet them!

[immortalaccursed]

Oh, I haven't any best friends. Not yet.

I'm still quite new here, after all.

[candlebot]

then you should make some! it is very good to have friends so you don't get lonely and so if something happens there will be people to help take care of you! this is a dangerous place

or so i have heard!

[immortalaccursed]

All true!

...Would you do me the honor of being my friend?

[candlebot]

yes! i would love to be your friend [ARDYN]! \( ˙▿˙ )/\( ˙▿˙ )/

[immortalaccursed]

Oh, wonderful! Perhaps I should come visit.

I do owe you a poem, do I not?

[candlebot]

yes please come visit! i want to see you myself and i would love to hear your poem!

CLARA!!!!!

They really found you!

[candlebot]

they did!! hi [MASAOMI]!! i can be here with all of you now! this is the BEST

[mellowyellow]

It's like we're starting a whole new chapter in Beacon history!

The Clara chapter!!

Everything already feels brighter.

[candlebot]

wow!! a chapter for me? i think it is a chapter for all of you but i am happy to be a part of it! i hope i can make it a little bit better because i know your chapter has been a hard one but

but also a good one! you have all done so many good things and it can only get better now!

[mellowyellow]

You think?

You think the good doctor would be proud?

You think we stand a chance?

[candlebot]

yes she was very proud of all of you and said that i could trust all of you to be my friends!

i have not been here as long as she had but never before did i get to come to meet everyone so this is new and new must be good! new means there must be a chance!

[mellowyellow]

[That's one hell of a way to phrase their extremely dire circumstances. But... On the other hand, deviating from the plan is Masaomi's specialty. Maybe now that the board's been flipped, they really can do something no one else has tried before.]

Hey, if it means I get to hang out with a scrappy chick like you?

I can't complain at all.

[candlebot]

scrappy! what a very good word! i like it!

if you have complaints it is ok to say so because nobody will know what you need in order to live a good life if you do not tell them!
