mind_blownSo, who spent a solid two weeks asleep last month?
And question for them. Was the food worth it?

What the hell? I can't be the only one who's thinking this, but just what the fucking hell? What the hell just happened? This place, oh shit, this place just-- did any of you see things? Hear things? Fucking feel things? And why? Just, why? I thought we were here to help, to find a way to solve this-- this whole puzzle and suddenly there's something here that made me think I was losing--? That's just-- it was just to fuck with all of us?
What the hell? That's what I want to know - just, what the hell? Is this hell? Is that why?
So, if you're listening to this, lady in the lighthouse? Fuck you! Seriously. Fuck. You.
Also, someone took my hoodie and I need that, so please bring it back. Thanks.

donttalktomeThis is Dr. Ingram, for those who are new. I won't waste time with pleasantries here, as I'm not exactly in the mood.
It perhaps goes without saying that I didn't expect to be the one telling you all this.
Winters would've likely phrased it in his usual well-meaning, forthright way.
But he's not here anymore, so you get what you get.
Let's start off by correcting a misconception.
I don't like Robin, and I probably never will.
We don't get along, and though I see she's neglected to share the particulars on that subject, this doesn't seem like the best time to clarify.
But you see, while I don't like her, and I don't exactly trust her, I'm also not stupid enough to think that what she's doing up there is pointlessly malicious.
She isn't toying with us simply for her own amusement, and at the moment she isn't threatening us, but I swear to whatever nonsense ancient deity you worship that if you lot manage to antagonize her into a reset, I will personally blame you.
And yes, I will likely still be around to do so.
(Your security is better this time, Miss Keeper, but let's remember that nobody's perfect.)
But that's digressing.
I suppose it might be understandable that you think she's lying about being useful, given that you haven't been told what her purpose is.
She mentioned that she was watching for something, but not what that something is.
Somethings. Plural.
They don't have a name, at least not one we know, but over the years some unfortunates no longer with us have decided to call them the World Eaters, on the assumption that they might've had something to do with the state this world is currently in.
A bit dramatic if you ask me, but it gets the job done.
What we know about these entities is scarce.
They are massive, they are ruthlessly destructive, and they cannot be reasoned with.
They are attracted to clusters of activity, of light, because that's what they feed on.
You can see why all of this might be a problem for us specifically.
If the World Eaters reach Beacon, they will wipe us off the map with much more permanence than Robin could ever manage.
This place will no longer be a viable "home" for anyone unlucky enough to survive, and we don't know if there is another.
At the moment, we strongly doubt it.
As it stands, Beacon and its lighthouse, the bonfire, the lanterns— they might very well be the last sources of light on this planet.
If the World Eaters snuff them out, then that's it.
Eventually, they always catch wind of our presence. There's just too much here for them not to notice.
And that, for those of you who haven't put two and two together yet, is why resets occur.
Lantern light seems to attract them the most.
By eliminating the concentration of it, the World Eaters can be thrown off the scent yet again, for a while, at least.
Groups who aren't making progress toward a solution are reset early, because they'd only die anyway when the World Eaters find them and it isn't worth the risk.
By my estimations and those of others, we have roughly 22-24 months.
It's a generous time limit, but it is a time limit.
Do not forget it.
And don't give her a reason to reset us beforehand.
I'm willing to answer questions, but potentially not stupid ones.
And don't expect any reassurances.
Winters and his confidence in you are both gone.

@jtodd - "mapping the area"
Aug. 28th, 2019 06:33 pmmind_blownnot interested in rehashing the shitshow from last month but
who is doing explorations & where
i started one with my brother, & we got separated during it
& i never got a chance to ask him what he found
so ignoring the whole "pick me for ur leader" post from below
would be nice for better coordination of what the hell ppl are doing
w/o the shouting matches & food fights
& robbie could do a hell of a lot 2 improve her standing if
she wanted 2, idk
pass out some goddamn clues from her ivory tower
on where 2 head nxt
just a thought
anyway, let me know.
if u don't want 2 go alone, depending on how hare-brained ur idea is
i can provide backup

sunborne-There we go! Hi guys!
[ the audio picks up just as some sort of agreement has been made between two parties - one of them consisting of coraline and daylight, judging by the voices, and the other consisting of the nice ice cream crab vendor due to their chat about wanting to sample all the flavours.
yes. all of the flavours. daylight cheerfully explains what's happening: apparently, the two are going to taste all thirty-one flavours that the crab vendor has to offer. shout out to coraline for the really neat idea...!
what follows next will be the - for the sake of conserving space for the players - a text transcript for the reactions that coraline and daylight have. the one describing the look of the ice cream is coraline while both of them are going to try and eat the ice cream. emphasise on try. ]
( they really did taste all 31 flavours because someone had to )
[ OOC NOTE; The original Google Docs of the compiled flavour testing can be found HERE. Feel free to assume that the table at the end that shows Coraline and Daylight's ratings for the ice cream is a file that has been attached at the end of the post.
A thing to note is that if someone tries to open the document to check on the ratings- This is one of the first things that they will see at the top of the document:
Since some people are cowards and won’t try all the flavors. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Ratings are 1-10 with 10 being the best. ]
