[OPEN] ===> Kalfour: Return

[bizango]

Return from where? Well you have been watching the sky for some time now, though why you would do such a thing for so long has somehow managed to slip your mind. That’s alright though. You have been enjoying yourself at least! The fires starting up at the very edge of the horizon are quite pretty against the evening sky.

However, they’ve started creeping closer now, as have the meteors and it’s finally starting to make you nervous. You have to make sure your moirail survives, and from what everyone’s been saying, that won’t happen until she’s playing the game. Which means you have to start soon too. You take another long look at the sky, and then slip down from the roof and in through your respiteblock window. It takes you a minute to find your husktop in the dark and as it turns on, you descend the stairs and settle on the step just outside your door. Hopefully everyone has started the game alright so far! You haven't been doing a very good job keeping track. Whoops!

Which is to say, he doesn't keep secrets very well from you. He is quite good at it with the rest of the world...!

[deadpanlife]

You are starting to become very suspicious!

[deadpanlife]

maybe
it never rea||y seemed |ike a prob|em unti| now

This is something of a lie, since you kind of realized that your crippling anxiety that prevents you from even leaving your forest is probably kind of a BIG PROBLEM a long time ago. It just never really seemed relevant until recently.

[bizango]

y*ure p|aying a game +* save +he w*r|d - y*ure g*ing +* need +* c*pe a |*+ be++er +hen +ha+
