@russo ( text ) | backdated to july 17(?)

found a village

( he has attached the map with the approximate location of the village marked — coordinates and all. so, don't @ him for not saying more.

eta; oh yeah, so his exploration thread is still ongoing which means he may or may not provide new information as it progresses. only time will tell. )

[ this is most definitely a useless post. look, he doesn't have anything useful to contribute just yet except the art of making conversation. ]

hey everybody
is it just me or does this feel like the beginning of some freaky horror game?
not that i'm saying this is a game
cuz it's not
but a lot of scary ones kind of start out like this
next we're gonna find clues to some tragic backstory and then i dunno
that lady at the lighthouse is gonna come in to either save the day or torture us
( and for the record i really really really hope the second part's not true )

anyway uh
i figured this would be a good way to introduce ourselves maybe
and throw out whatever skills we have to contribute to this whole thing
i'm not really the leader type
but i'm sure people are already trying to figure stuff out
me and my friends are...

right right skills
if anybody's got questions or needs someone with good aim just hit me up
guns are sort of my thing ✌️
or i guess if you need somebody to talk to i'm a pretty good listener too

I'm feeling somewhat benevolent today.
After hearing a combination of your suggestions and complaints, I've decided to share.
You know, health of the community and all that.
For those of you still wildly inept with your tablets, just poke the letters that show up in a different color.

[Attached to this message, (a function not normally available for network posts,) is a link which yields several downloadable applications. Thankfully they're not malware or viruses, but hopefully helpful things, including:

- An app that translates text in images into spoken words. Good for the blind (or the illiterate). As it translates into the universal language of Beacon, it could also be used for deciphering foreign letters. Just snap a photo and you're good to go.

- A drawing app. Not as fancy as photoshop, but you can use your hands to make pretty pictures with a variety of colors and line weights.

- Related: a map app. It comes with a version of the current known map, which can be updated by the community. Shitposting will be promptly corrected. You stop that.

- And finally, a game: sudoku to be specific. Are you good at math and puzzles? Let's hope so, otherwise this will be pretty pointless for you. (This one's for you, Noctis.)

All four apps download together, so you're stuck with them even if you only wanted one. But the file isn't exactly labelled in anything other than random(?) numbers, so I suppose you wouldn't know that anyway.

Have fun, Beacon!]

[ Elden's been fiddling with this tablet thing for awhile. Want to know how long? Because for the last ten minutes his tablet has been going on and off voice, you can catch little snippets of; ]

Damn it, work you piece of-

For the love of- why does there need to be so many buttons-UUGGGGH-

Finally, though he manages to stay on audio; ]

Right, so, hi everyone, my name's Elden. We've been here a few days now and I'm pretty sure everyone's already looking into whatever's going on here.

I mean, it's a big spooky, dark town, who wouldn't want to figure out what the hell was going on. So, there were a couple of things I wanted to bring up.

One is I think we need to start compiling all the info we've found out about this place so far. Even the stuff they told us when they got here. If we're ever going to figure out why this place is perpetual night that's probably what we should do. Maybe we could keep some kind of log book in the Inn to keep us up to date.

[ He pauses before bringing up his next point. ]

Second, if there's anyone willing to go into the forest with me? I'm not sure what's in there but it'd be dangerous to go in by yourself. Especially if there are undead lurking in that forest.

All right, well that's all for now. Thanks.

[ Recent events are enough of a push to get him to do what he was waffling about, but that doesn't mean he likes having to be the bearer of any news, let alone the kind where he gives mildly hypocritical advice. ]

i know it hasn't even been a week but apparently people are already biting the dust again, so

hi, i'm nate, and enough people have asked me about this crap that i should probably have made this sooner. i've been to another world like this before, the whole "kidnapped population of different people, different places" thing, got the t-shirt, so i might be able to answer some questions people have

death probably isn't gonna stick here, but that doesn't mean you should be testing your luck since there's always some kind of price with these things.

seriously, don't be stupid.

[ well, there's no way to say it, except to say it, so: ]

One of us died today. Big guy, blond hair. I don't know his name. I found his body.

[ that's his schtick, isn't it? finding bodies. ]

What I do know is that he fell on some rocks near the beach. Looks like an accident, no foul play. The fall shouldn't have killed him.

[ could've, if the bastard really were that unlucky, but it's unlikely. besides: ]

But it did break his lantern. Seems like Winters was telling the truth about that after all. Before anyone asks:

1) No, I didn't see it happen.
2) Yes, I checked for a pulse.
3) No, I didn't do it.

[ juST COVERING HIS BASES THERE ]

One more thing. I had to step away to get my tablet. When I came back, both he and his lantern were gone. No one else was here, I'm positive. They just vanished into thin air.

[ ooc | so as of today, rosinante (

callada) is dead :C feel free to threadjack in this post and use it for discussion or whatever! ]

hey
so has anyone else noticed that their magic is all fucked up?
if you're not used to magic it'd be sweet if we could skip past the whole disbelief and shock part of this convo
i'm a wizard and it's cool as hell and i don't have a big white beard and now we're moving on
anyway my point is, nothing but the bonfire and lanterns seems to be casting any light
i figured maybe the darkness here was caused by a spell, but i have fire and light spells that are supposed to work anyway and they're not
so i guess my question is if anyone has spells or magic that are actually casting light
everything else i've tried casting has worked fine
