Okay, okay. Okay.

( There’s a sound in the background, probably recognisable to most as a microwave. There’s another sound that might be recognisable to some by now: Sarissa being a little drunk. )

So, tragedy: wet clothes. Disaster, right? I was thinking, I can’t put ‘em in a dryer, ‘cause they’ll shrink. And I can’t put ‘em on a line out in the sun, because this place is a big fuck you to that whole concept, I bet, even in summer.

Problem solved, though. I’m on it.

( She is not, in fact, on it. In fact, though it cannot be seen by the listener or Sarissa, her clothes are starting to smoke, rather than steam. ) Anyways, I was telling Molly about how handy microwaves are, and then I thought: hey. Extra problem solving.

(Off-screen, Molly says:) Uh, Sarissa? Is there supposed to be this much smoke?

Ain’t smoke, mate. It’s steam. ( She’ll be right. There’s a long pause, and then— ) oh motherfuck!

so I saw that there’s some weekly combat classes, that’s good and that
but I’m after something more cathartic and less educational

anyone down for some bareknuckle brawling?
no magic or powers or whatever wild shit you got, just ourselves

no one under 21 but
if you can’t legally buy a drink in some wild NYC bar crawl then we aren’t fighting

So, who spent a solid two weeks asleep last month?

And question for them. Was the food worth it?

For our more vampiric population, I come to you with a solution for your dietary problems.

I've invented artificial blood. A substance you can consume without harming others, but that will sustain you much as food and water. I owe a debt to Elena for helping me test them.

Unfortunately, it cannot yet be used in a medical sense-- for blood transplants, which are, by the by, a very important part of medical knowledge, which makes up the second part of this announcement.

If you do not know your blood type, come see me, and I can at least determine it. Blood types are a vital bit of information in a place where one routinely gets cut to bits. Transfusing blood-- that is, the act of giving one's blood to another-- can save a life in many cases. However, if the wrong sorts of blood interact, the result can be deadly.

Many of you do not know your blood type. This will, inevitably, come back to bite you.

So. I suggest you come by my lab within the next few days and find out, before you nearly die of an injury, manage to make it back to town, and then die of your original blood sensing the invader and killing off the cells that came to theoretically heal you. What a horrible, ironic death that would be.

Good day, my fellow citizens old and new. For the newcomers, my name is Cao Pi, styled Zihuan. Welcome, for what it's worth, to Beacon.

We have just been through an ordeal far, far worse than the one which happened during the mission to connect the lighthouse to the network, and I understand that many are still nursing their wounds and even dead. It is my genuine hope that everyone who succumbed returns to us, we will need their strength now more than ever. And yet, I feel I cannot wait for everyone to be whole before addressing this issue. Master Matt contacted me and we had a fine discussion about the battle and our need for plans going forward.

A couple of months ago we held a meeting for everyone to speak face to face about what we can offer the town in terms of organization and defense. It was productive, but since then only one or two people have talked to me about joining forces to prepare a leadership council. My gratitude to masters Kol and Quentin, and my apologies for not following up immediately. We have had a difficult couple of months.

The forceful attack by the spirits is exactly what we feared would happen, and we were barely, marginally, prepared. The fallback to the Invincible was well-managed, but imperfect. We can do better, and we must, because now we have seen the faces of what lurks out there to destroy us and we know, for a fact, that we are not going to be able to manage another onslaught like that even if we have all those who were asleep at our sides to help fight. Even with the valiant efforts of those who have been preparing, like Inspector Javert, Masters Jason and Riku, I feel we would benefit from another meeting. It will also help those fresh off the ferry to be brought up to speed.

As before, I will be in the town hall at moonrise, let us say...the eighth day of this month. That should allow plenty of time for recovery and resurrection. I welcome everyone to join and share their experiences, particularly those who were asleep. I should like to hear what everyone experienced.

[and here's where his voice turns from pleasantly calm to dead serious]

...I caution against sharing too much openly on the network. Given the last few bulletins, I cannot simply assume that the network is safe. It could be that even the Keeper's last report was compromised. Be wary.

[which doesn't mean he won't respond if people want to chat with him, that's what he's here for]

[Luckily Goro was able to find some clothing when he had first arrived, but it would probably be best to think about trying to find more. More specifically, warming clothing for the weather.]

Where would a guy go to find some more clothing? I've already checked the general store, but I was hoping to find something warmer if at all possible.

[At least something besides what he arrived in.]

Oh. I guess I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Goro Akechi. I used to be a detective back home, so if you need my services, feel free to contact me whenever.

Nearby The Invincible;

[Somewhat nearby The Invincible somewhere that's not directly in view, Akechi can be seen with his lantern sitting nearby. He hadn't really tried it immediately upon arriving, but he was wondering about his Personas. It looks like he was on a cell phone, but it was really hard to see in considering the light seems to stop working since coming here. He hadn't had much use for it now, but with the help of the lantern, he navigated the smart phone (that wasn't so smart anymore). More so out of curiosity that the MetaNav could possibly work. He really doubted the Metaverse existed here, but it was worth a shot. After a few tries and "Location not found", he gave up on it, shoving his phone in his pocket. It was likely going to be useless here, but he'd tested what he wanted from it.

That did leave another question for him though. Did his Personas work here if the Metaverse most likely didn't exist here? With the MetaNav being all but useless, his curiosity wasn't quite sated. So shortly after checking his phone, he took a moment to test a theory. If you're close enough nearby, you might notice a faint glow of a giant creature. It's not visable if you're far enough away due to the eternal darkness, but if you're close enough it'll be standing behind Akechi. You'll also probably notice that his appearance has become significantly more regal looking, complete with a long, red pointed mask on.

Glancing off to the side and then to his gloved hand...]

Huh... That's intriguing. So the Metaverse most likely doesn't exist here, but I can still use Robin Hood.

[He's not talking to anyone in particular. In fact, he probably doesn't even notice any onlookers nearby. Feel free to bug him.]

( Hello there, darkness dwellers. Is this a new voice you here? It sure is, lucky you. The accent is Australian, broad almost to the point of cliche, and there's something oddly lackadaisical about it, given the... well. The everything, really. )

So, not being funny, but has anyone, I dunno... fallen off the ferry and gotten a bit cuddly with some mysterious glowy, kinda ethereal-seeming tentacles?

Asking for a friend.

Hello, fellow citizens of Beacon. It's me. Eliot. [ for however grandiose his tone remains, there's boredom lingering underneath. ]

We're getting to that time of the year, and I'm sure most of you still look lovely in the same clothing you arrived in, but without a doubt your sundresses and polos are not sufficient for the. Well. Gradually lowering and soon to be possibly freezing temperatures.

Of course, there's your choice of thrift shop clothing available in the general store, and far be it from me to keep you from popping tags and looking for a come up, but I've also perused the same clothing and. [ he hums and sighs. ]

If you'd like some winter clothing that fits you better and has been freshened up for your use, let me know. Let's get you clothed properly, mm?

[ there's a pause. a slow inhale, a soft puff. it seems he's smoking. ]

Anyway. Anyone here know A Christmas Carol? We have their permission to reuse their stage as we please, so long as we invite them to whatever we use it for. They showed us their own production, so I was thinking why not give back one of our own.

1.

Can anybody tell me what this is? I got it from the scavenger hunt that was awhile ago...but I forgot about it because of the ferry crashing.

[Attached is a picture of an SD card! Presumably, someone will be able to identify it for her before too long and explain how she can put it into her tablet, and I don't want to make two separate posts for this, so, a bit later, Mary's back on the network again!]

2.

Oh! It's a map! I won a map for my pictures!

[She's not uploading the picture of her map. It's her map.]

Does anybody want to come on an adventure with me? Maybe we'll find a treasure!

Hi everyone!! I've got some exciting news!!!! O:

Oh, wait, hold on - a couple weeks ago Peter pointed out that you guys like super don't know what I look like or anything since I'm not around town. Whoops! I forgot! I'm sorry! So, like, here's a little selfie to dispel the ~mystery~...

[She attaches a picture!]

That's meeee. :) Super cute, right? But OK!!! Moving onto the fun stuff.

You should all head down to the beach like right away! I got some reeeeeeally neat stuff off the ferry this month to put on a little show for you guys... You might be able to see it a little bit from town, but your best bet is gonna be the beach! Keep your eye on the lighthouse!

And then after that, I have a cool event planned for you guys! I was thinking, like, the bonfire is still pretty contained in one spot, right? Rastus was telling me there's only a handful of torches around town, and I get that? I get that you want to like conserve this resource and all, super glad you're taking it real seriously, but like! It's meant to be USED, you know? Don't be that guy that hoards a buncha potions in Pokemon because "oh no what if I need all 99x of them one day!!!" but like, you're already fighting the Elite Four, you know?

My point is, Rastus is gonna be handing out torches like frickin' candy over the next couple days! You can take as many as you want, BUT you gotta make sure to place them around town to light this place the heck up! Put 'em in buildings or your houses or like, hell, you can light up paths and stuff to make traveling around easier! Put some on the beach to help with the dock you guys are building! IDK just put 'em in places! Use! The! Resource!

Sound good? Great! Come check out my little show down on the beach 'cos it's starting super soon! And then go DECORATE~ :) And be nice to Rastus since, like, between you and me? Talking him into a bonfire free-for-all was NOT easy. I owe him like a billion favors. You're welcome! Byeee!
