[ It has been hours since the lighthouse crew returned to Beacon. You may have seen them around already - checking up on friends and strangers alike, making sure people are safe from the forest spirits and their violence. So it’s some time after that the audio file is posted to the network. ]
Riku: It’s done. The lighthouse is connected.
Peter: That’s the good news. [ a beat; frankly, peter’s tired and it’s reflected in the audible exhale of breath that follows the brief statement. ] Which means we can now communicate with the Lighthouse Keeper and she can communicate with us. I know— things didn’t exactly go as planned, at the lighthouse or — here, but Winters said there’d be a risk. [ the word’s enunciated carefully, with weight; it’s accompanied by the brief sound of movement. that they all knew there'd be the risk of death going into this doesn't change the gravity of what had happened, and though there's more to it than this, peter continues with: ]
—The spirits attacked once they figured out what we were trying to do. [ breath of a pause; amendment. ] Once they thought they figured out what we were trying to do—.
[ in person, peter's attention flickers between rosinante and riku. ]
Rosinante: They came for us immediately when they found us. We ran, but Winters was at the rear and they got him first. Five was first to try and help him, and they killed him too.
[ Said bluntly, matter-of-factly. There’s no desire to beat around the bush, though he does sound solemn as he continues. ]
I can’t speak for the others, but I’ll be here at the Invincible for now if anyone has questions, or needs somewhere to hide.
[ For now, all three are there around the tables by the bar, looking tired and covered in blood and dirt. Worse for wear, but alive. ]

@scientia; text @ anyone
What happened? Everything was going well until the horn went off.
[He wants to write 'what did you do' but that sounds accusatory and now's not the time to point fingers.]
And what happened with people that were on the lookout?
no subject
Didn't see the lookouts on the way back. They didn't make it back before us?
[shit.]
no subject
[Is he seriously telling him that Keeper didn't know about it and Winters, who survived entire wipes, also didn't know about it and didn't warn them?]
I do not know. The spirits went mad- some were scared and ran away, most of them became aggressive and attacked us.
[He almost literally had to drag Noctis away because he refused to fight spirits he befriended.]
We have been hiding ever since. There are still some very angry spirits roaming the streets in the Village.
no subject
Seen the chaos in town, though. We got back a couple hours ago and only just got time to say something. Had to pitch in first. Where are you hiding?
no subject
[If both knew about it then it is a slip up on a catastrophic level and it costed them...]
Stay at the bonfire and Invincible.
I am in the Village, but I suggest you do not move to pick us up. Save for the lanterns, it is too dark. We will wait this out. If we are attacked, we can fight them off. I also don't want to risk spirits breaking the bridge that was built. They have shown that they can be extremely clever.
The people from the lookout, however, are in greater danger than me.
no subject
I'm worried about the lookouts, too. They were right at the fence when we split off to continue to the lighthouse so I figured they were ahead of us in getting back here.
no subject
Keep an eye out for them. I wish I was in a better position to help.
no subject
no subject
Unfortunately no. It is too dark and the Village isn't properly lit. I can only see small light of bonfire in the distance.
no subject
Stay safe. We should take a headcount of who's accounted for as soon as possible.
no subject
Please keep me updated, if you can.
