Soooooooo, funny story... I'm alive. 😬 And I got my tablet working again, so that's pretty cool!!

I know everyone's gonna ask what the heck happened, but honest answer? No idea. I remember the ground started to feel kinda funny during the storm, and I was trying to get out of the lighthouse cos the spirits were freaking out? But like, idk, I guess I like hit my head or something??? I woke up in the woods with the WOOOOOOORST headache and a bunch of spirits and none of my crap to get in touch with anyone. >:[

Anyway, you guys have probably noticed by now that the lighthouse collapsed. :/ That super sucks for like a thousand reasons. I dunno what we're gonna do about that, but as far as *I'm* concerned, I got my old lantern back and I fixed up my tablet. So the good news is I'm not stuck in the lighthouse anymore, buuuuut the bad news for you guys is that I don't have access to any of the equipment or records I was using to help out. I'm just a normie again!!!

All in all I feel like this development is probably like super duper bad since I can't get in touch with Dr. Solis OR Rastus OR Pluto and all our useful crap is out of commission, but...... We'll figure it out, right? I'm gonna try to stay hopeful??

But uhh so that's the status update on me! What's been up with you guys?

[ooc: hey folks! i just wanted to note real quick that robin isn't an npc anymore! i'm just a player and robin's just a pc, so she's not gonna be any help with plot-related stuff anymore, rip. but i'm looking forward to diving back in and playing with you all again! ❤]

Heyyyyyy everybody... I hope you're all doing okay. :( Rastus has been keeping me up to date. Did everyone make it back alive? Do you guys need anything?? I'll grab some extra medical supplies for the next ferry.

Oh! Speaking of medical stuff, word on the street is that the green-eyed spirits have cleared out from the hospital and stuff. Whatever sorta rescue mission you guys pulled, it sounds like it was effective. I'd maaaaybe take it easy for a few days since we have OTHER STUFF to worry about right now, but once that mirror lady and her goons clear out, you guys should go check out that med center!!! There's a bunch of useful stuff over there.

ANYWAY, I hear the Wild Hunt is in town. :/ I don't LIKE that they're in town, but Rastus is Mr. Diplomat over here and HE thinks the polite thing to do is to let Kimiko hang out for a couple days since she was kinda helpful or w/e. Ugh. I guess he has a point since like, they DID help get all you guys outta trouble... And Rastus says Kimiko's all offering to have her cave gremlins teach you survival skills and crap, and they'll help clean up and help anyone who's hurt, so like, OK FINE.

But this is just temporary!!! I said the Wild Hunt is only allowed to stay in town until Thursday, and by Friday they'd better have scurried back to their dumb mines. >:(

Just don't let them make you drink the koolaid, OK? I don't know much about them because they've been in hiding for yeeeeears and it's not like they keep in touch!! All I know is the spirits call them the Fire Snatchers and they apparently really want to destroy the bonfire and stuff. They're all, oh let's just let ourselves get munched by World Eaters!! Sounds super duper fun!!!!! /rolls eyes

If you got questions about them, maybe just ask Kimiko? And then, like, LMK... 👀 I gotta compile notes on these guys now because that's my job. They don't have network access, so we can talk smack all we want and they'll never see. :P

I hope you're all doing OK ❤❤❤ bye!!

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!

[The first few seconds of the recording is just Quentin breathing, fast and shaky at first and just before he speaks, the breathing evens out. The whole speech will be said fast and jerky, like the words are just spilling out without thought.]

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.

Hi everyone! I'm Robin, or the Lighthouse Keeper, for those of you I haven't talked to yet. Hello hello! Welcome to Beacon!

Sooooo I know it's been pretty dark and gloomy these past few weeks. :( I hope the little thing Rastus set up with the paper boats helped. That was like, totally his idea! And really pretty to see from up here, I gotta say.

But! I want to get some ~*~positivity~*~ flowing now, so I set up a scavenger hunt for you guys! There's a whole list of things below for you all to find, all stuff you can find in Beacon somewhere! I think, anyway. It's been a while since I've been down there, but I left the prompts pretty open-ended, so feel free to interpret stuff however you want. I'll be the judge, but since I can't be in town with you all, I want you to take selfies with the stuff on the list!!! I know that'll be kind of a pain since the tablets don't have a flash, but I'm not judging on quality. Just do your best, and be creative!

Here's a couple rules and instructions before I get to the list:

- I put up little headers for each item down below, so to submit a "find", comment with your selfie under the item header you want it to count toward. That way we can all see everyone's pictures! It'll be really cute! You guys can like, comment around on people's pictures, too. [ooc note: submissions may come in the form of a written description of the selfie, or you can link pictures to give us the vibe! just make sure to note which thing in the picture is intended to count for the find.]

- You can totally work together on this! If a bunch of you take a big group selfie with a thing on the list, all of you will get credit for it! Teamwork is really great!

- One selfie can count toward more than one list item, but let me clarify! You could, for example, take a selfie with someone else with both of your lanterns down at the beach, and this submission could count toward list items #3, #5, and #7 all at once! BUT one "thing" in each selfie can only count toward one list item, so taking a selfie with your fabulous outfit from home could only satisfy either #9 or #10, not both. Make sense? If not, let me know!

- The scavenger hunt ends on September 25, but you can keep submitting stuff until the end of the month! I can see the timestamps on pics, though, so I'll know if you CHEATIN' 👀!!! [ooc note: the takeaway here is that backdates selfies are allowed up until the next intro log, as prizes will arrive via the ferry. oocly, selfie timestamps mean nothing since these ain't real selfies, it's just an ic thing!]

- Everyone who participates will get... a prize! The prize will depend on MY JUDGEMENT but everyone will get something cool for chipping in! I'm gonna keep the prizes a secret, but trust me, you don't want to miss out!!!

Oookay, I think that covers everything, so... Here's the list!

A forest spirit with feathers
A work of art
Someone who has helped you
A letter
Your favorite lantern
Something delicious
A postcard view
Someone you've never spoken to
Something from home
A fabulous outfit
Somewhere you've never been
Your favorite place to be
A forest spirit like you
A web
Something you treasure
A hard-won friend
The Rat King
A gift
Something beautiful
Someone beautiful
A game
A forest spirit bigger than you
An effort of teamwork
Footprints in the woods
The lighthouse

Good luck everyone! :)

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!!
