[text] @keeper; cw: character death [open]

[beaconkeeper]

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!!

Yeah. Dying in battle, doing your duty, whatever . . . I'm not saying it was good, but if it's for the cause, it's better. that's how i went out, and i dont regret it

what about you, huh? you stay in the lighthouse now, but what about before? you a warrior or what?

[beaconkeeper]

Oh really? Well that's good to know. I hope he feels the same way... I'm sure he does.

LOL no way. I was a dancer! I was reeeeeally good, too. I was all geared up to go pro before I died. :/ I don't EXACTLY know how that happened, but I think it was a car crash. The last thing I remember, I was riding shotgun with my brother and messing around on my phone, and then, bam, I woke up here. I remember my head hurting a lot for a split second, but that's it.

Kind of anticlimactic if you ask me.

What about you?

[silvercrusader]

i THINK i broke my neck

something like that

or ribs pierced my lungs, or whatever

a piece of shit vampire threw me against a wall when i was defending my friend

the vampire-- DIO-- he had him cornered, was about to behead him

but i figure if i bought him a minute or two then it was worth it

2/2 just kidding

[silvercrusader]

but hey! that's how it goes

a brother though huh

older or younger

[beaconkeeper]

OH wow. I'm really sorry. I hope your friend is OK. It's a good thing you went quick though! Not remembering what happened is the best way to go, if you ask me.

Younger. His name is Jeremy and he was SUCH a piece of shit but we were like best friends and I miss him a lot.

Do you have siblings?

[silvercrusader]

[Ah.]

Had.

her name was Sherry

died a few years back

[beaconkeeper]

Oh. :( I'm sorry. Were you guys close?

[silvercrusader]

Yeah. she was great, you know? really cheerful and friendly and kind

i mean she was a little shit too but sounds like you know what i mean when i say that

im kinda glad she isn't here tho

she deserved to move on

her death was rough

[beaconkeeper]

Oh no... Ugh, I can't imagine.

But I do know what you mean when you say that, lol. I dunno if my brother's still alive, but I'm kinda glad he isn't here?

There was a long time when I used to wish he was, but I think it's better this way.

[silvercrusader]

Probably. as shitty as it is, at least he's at peace.

hey, what did he look like?

[beaconkeeper]

My brother? Oh man, he was shaping up to be a total hottie!! Like, fully on his way to the "tall, dark, and handsome" type, you know? A lot of people used to think he was just your run of the mill dumb jock, but that's so not true.

Oh! You know what, let me just show you a picture.

[She attaches a file!]

I was super lucky to have my phone with me when I got here. It would really suck to have lost all my pics and music. :(
