Heyyy everybody. I'm the LH Keeper. I know you guys probably got some questions for me but like sit tight first OK? I promise I'll answer eeeeverything you wanna know in just a sec. There's a couple things I wanna say.

The first one being, hi! I'm Robin. It's SO good to finally get to chat with you all, like jeez I've been hella bored over here. That party you guys just put on looked really fun. :( I'm sad I missed it! But that's kinda how it goes when you're the Keeper. Rastus said there's been a lot of talk about like fulfilling our roles and stuff, and this is mine! I'm in the lighthouse because it let's me do a bunch of stuff to manage the town and help keep the world safe, but it means I'm stuck out here all by myself and I don't get to do the fun stuff I want to do sometimes. Which is why I'm so so SO happy that you guys and gals got me hooked up to the network again! Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤

Oh right, and you guys have had a lot of questions about what I'm protecting the town from, haven't you? Me and Will talked and he's super sure it's best if HE gives you the skinny on all that since he said he would and he wants to make good on his promise, you feel? So he's gonna do that after the ferry gets here so all the new people can get the info too. Sound good? Sorry you gotta wait just a liiiittle bit longer but there's something else I think we should talk about first...

The forest spirits are still reporting the numbers so I don't know exactly how many we're up to yet but... A lot of people went missing and probably died from how things went down after the party. I'll put all the names in the next bulletin (sorry I didn't do one this week btw! things have been kinda crazy...) but if you want to ask about your friends and stuff in the meantime, I'll do my best to tell you what I know. Maybe some of them will come back? We just have to wait and see.

But... you guys probably saw this in that post Rosinante and Riku and Peter did, but just in case you didn't: Captain Winters died, and so did Five. I didn't see what happened exactly but I saw the spirits starting to come for them all and I tried to stop them but they didn't listen. They get really angry about people coming to the lighthouse or me trying to leave, even the ones that are usually really nice.

I hope they'll both come back but I don't know if they will, so, just in case... Winters would want you all to take care of the town for him and move on you know? He won't be around when the ferry comes so make sure you all fill the new people in on what's happened and how to survive here. All that really important stuff he's been telling people is up to you guys to spread around now.

*BIG SIGH* OK WELL I don't want to end on that super negative note but now I'm all sad sooo ask me questions and stuff, and Will will tell everyone about what I'm keeping the town safe from real soon. It really is nice to meet you all!!

Besides the announcement that will be made upon the arrival of others: What are the questions you can't answer, whatever the reason?

[ aislin thinks she might as well figure out what can and can't be asked. ]

Hmm, that's a good one... All I can tell you is that I'm not purposefully keeping secrets. If I don't answer stuff, it's because I don't know the answer. That doesn't sit well with a lot of people, I know, but I want to know those answers too, man.

Well, OK, I thought of two things, actually. I'm not gonna reveal the whole entire town to you guys even though I could, and that's because you won't really gain anything from it. You should make this place your own, you know? It's REALLY boring to just sit around, so you should make it into a little adventure, I think. But I'm not gonna hold back really important stuff! If you want advice on where to find something, I can help.

The other thing is that I'm not gonna tell you about the other people in town. Like, the one you guys have been messing with in the church? I'm not getting involved. It's better if those people come forward on their own time.

[ 'messing with in the church'...? was it related to that gaudy sign that's hung inside the building? ]

Noted. I'll do my part and steer clear of their residence until they feel ready to make themselves known. Hopefully, others will do the same.

And I am in need of advice since you are offering it: Is there somewhere in town that is known for having good acoustics? I'll like to practice my music but somewhere more secure in the wake of this fiasco. I'd rather steer clear of the church for the time being.

[ because of, well, whatever is in the church. if they - whoever they are - decide to make themselves known, she rather not be there. ]

Oh, they don't live in the church! You can still go in there and hang out and stuff. Just, like, trying to open the trapdoor? Proooobably not a great idea.

Good acoustics? Hmmm. There's that auditorium over in the village, but I bet you already know about that. There's a couple other places around town that were designed with performances in mind, though! What kind of security are you looking for?

And tell me what you play!!! Or are you a singer? You gotta send me some of your tunes sometime!!

[ ... the implications of the first statement are very worrying to aislin, if she lets her fretting mind get the better of her and of course it gets the better of her.

deciding she can let the others handle this, for the time being, exhausted by the turn of events. that way aislin can focus on what's most important to her the most: music.

(selfish? a little bit but everyone is going to have their own ways to cope.) ]

I suppose the best way to describe my preferred location is sturdy and small. It would also be comforting to have the ability to fortify the door and windows of where I am during practice. Just in case anything happens and I need a headstart from myself and whatever that anything is should be when the moment arises.

And I’m a violinist. I, unfortunately, do not sing. That talent would fall on my younger sisters. [ who are not here and aislin is grateful for that. she truly is. ]

Have you checked out the village? I bet you could snag a little house to practice in! Those A frames are super cute. I used to live in one.

Aww tell me about your sisters! I always wanted a sister. And you should play something for me sometime!!

[ aislin hesitates at the request for information regarding her little sisters.

dead or not, she, more or less, made it her life mission to protect her sisters' identities. she feels like she has a duty to see that through even if they're no longer with her.

so watch aislin try to politely ignore the question/request and focus on the other topics at hand. thank goodness there are so many things for her to tackle- ]

I haven't explored the village yet but thank you for the reminder. I'll check it out when I have the time to do so. If you're not opposed to the idea, I would like to visit your former residence.

Perhaps I can even play a melody in there if you're open to the idea.

Oh, sure!! I lived in Bridalveil Falls #4. :) It wasn't much, but it was cute, you know?? I kinda miss it sometimes.

What kind of music do you like to play?

I'll visit there when I can. If you're open to the idea, I can take a few pictures of the residence and send them to you so you have something of it for keeping. I always found keeping sketches and drawings of the places I travelled comforting and useful.

And to answer your question, I was trained in classical and folk music. Mostly self-taught as I had to focus on my family's farm when growing up.
