[ 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. ]

At the church I mean.

I'm not sure where the medics were making camp, but I'll see if I can find them. People have been scattered since the party.
no subject
If you see people in need of shelter, send them our way. We have this place pretty well defended for now. We could use medical supplies if you spot any.
no subject
I'll keep an eye out.
Try and take some time to recover, you do no one any good working to exhaustion.
no subject
Don't worry about me, though. Let me know if you find them. Good luck.
no subject
I can't find either of them. Have you seen them lately? I also don't see their corpses so they weren't killed when the forest creatures attacked.
Or at least not where I can see them.
no subject
Thanks, though.
no subject
We'll speak later.
[And off he goes to rescue catatonic forest spirits and help whoever is around if they're injured.]
