This is Riku. I've met some of you already, building the boats or around town.

[ He's not the most outgoing guy, preferring to show his community spirit by working around Beacon. One might have seen him patching rooftops with handmade shingles or filling potholes with sand and stones. Those from the first ferry in might recall he helped move excess furniture from rooms in the Invincible so people could live in them. ]

I know we've all got a lot going on. I wouldn't ask for your help if it wasn't important.

[ Riku says it like he's not used to this. Thunder growls heavily in the background. ]

Some people went missing. I need to go find them before this rain gets any worse.

[ So why take his concerns to the network? ]

I can't be in two places at once. The lake... It's rising, and so is the river. We need to protect our supplies, whatever's left after the rats.

You can use the boat building materials down by the boathouse if you need them. Just get to it before they wash away. And-

[ He exhales, hesitating to give such an obvious warning when so many are assured of the dangers. For his own edification, he does anyway. ]

Be careful. It's down to us.

[ The audio feed flicks on, Elden’s voice coming on over it, sounding well rested and calm; ]

Hey everyone, so, with the ferry coming in this month I've finally been able to get some of my own projects done.

One, is something Wanda was helping me with. I've gotten two large log books for us to keep information about anything we find in Beacon.

I'll be placing one in the town hall and another in the Inn so that everyone can add things to it that we discover in Beacon. Like, for example, the Church? It’s not sanctified ground. If anything it’s just a normal building or that the tablets have a magical aura. Think of the books kind of like encyclopedias.

Knowing is half the battle, after all, and the more we collect and share the better chance we stand at getting the sun out.


[ a pause, after which wanda enters into the audio feed, voice low and a bit grainier than usual from lack of sleep. nails have plucked themselves against her for some time now from the ever present darkness; the strain is working on her, but her words are clear. ]

Elden’s ideas for centralized knowledge bases are very good — I was happy to assist. I will be here to help him by monitoring the book in the town hall. The place has changed a good deal since its original emptiness. I find it… [ she pauses, fingers curling, searching for the right word. ] ...perplexing. Some of the recordings are… quite personal. So while the books are for everyone to write in, I will simply check on that one every few days. Take pictures of the notes for safekeeping. Ensure no mischievous spirits are — well — spiriting away with it, I suppose. Elden will do the same with the book in the tavern.

[ When Wanda finishes, Elden pipes back in again; ]


The other is something less...clinical.
[ he posts a picture of a very dimly lit wall, illuminated by his lantern. The wall is decorated with a painted tree and above it, written in cursive letters; "For the Remembered." ]


It has been hard for all of us. We left people behind and maybe can never get back to. So, I figured we can at least remember them to keep us going, you know? If you have a picture or even just want to put their name on one of the branches that's great. Anyways, that's all for right now.


[OOC; so here is the google doc for the log books. You can add things for what characters find in game. Anything from strange findings to successful projects (plants that you’ve found can be grown nocturnally! Odd behaviors of the river monster! The fact that morse code works with the lighthouse keeper! LANTERNS CAN BE PUT OUT AHH BEWARE, etc.).

The wall of Remembrance is also available for everyone in game in the town hall to put up photos, drawings or names of people they love, living, dead or otherwise.

Responses will come from either character depending on the subject matter. Wanda is
dark red and Elden is
golden rod. ]
