[MEMO: OPEN TO ALL] ==> PROSPIT DREAMERS: FIND THE LOST NOTES

[defensivealchemist]

==> Durian: Dream and report on your findings.

You can't report on your findings when you haven't found anything!

==> Durian: Dream, find those notes and convey the information to the others.

That order is too complicated to complete in one cut. You'll need to divide it into TWO COMMANDS. You should probably also include any other available players in your command.

==> Prospit dreamers: Dream and search for the Lost Notes

According to Kappy, people join the game in an entry chain. You are not next in line. You're not sure how long it will take before you get in. Sitting at your computer and talking in that memo is interesting and fulfilling, but it doesn't block out the sound of meteors echoing outside. Now that you know what the sound is, you find yourself feeling unsettled. Possibly even nervous.

After a while you close the memo, set the device to charging, and hunt down the previous owner's recuperacoon. It's a pity that the troll who lived here died; from their hive's design and their stuff, you had enough in common that you could have enjoyed talking with them. You put those thoughts out of your mind as you climb into the sopor, and try to focus on the GOLDEN MOON. Hopefully the influence of the sopor will contribute to whatever gave you that previous dream.

It seems to help. Minutes or hours later, you fall asleep and wake in the golden tower, the same one you encountered Zirreh in.



==> Durian: Report the information to the others.

[bizango]

This person is in luck, because you happen to be sent on a quest now! This unfortunately means there will be no response for the better part of an hour but when it finally does come, it is from exactly the person he wanted to see in the first place.

Oh~
i'm sOrry~

[defensivealchemist]

there you are
te11 your hivemate to get their own handle
that wa5 ridiculou5 and inconvenient

sOrry~

[defensivealchemist]

that might pi55 them off enough to 6reak it in retaliation
ju5t find out if there5 a program you could u5e to add a pa55word to your handle
5o then they have to put in their own name5 and color5

[bizango]

Okay~

youre in the game right
are you rea11y on another world

[bizango]

ah~

You are fairly certain that he had nothing to do with... whoever that was before going away. But you decide not to say so. It's better not to contradict a highblood if you can help it.

yes~i'm maybe definitely~
sOmeplaCe new~
in the game~
it's a desert planet~i think~
maybe all the way around~

[defensivealchemist]

In a stunning burst of empathy, you remember your promise to Perrix.

5peaking of dead people and the game
the rea5on i tro11ed you wa5 5o i could a5k
didnt 5ome people already die in the game
how did they

[bizango]

Well. You would offer to be his server but... the idea is completely distasteful to you!

And, more importantly, his other question is jarring and deeply unsettling. You can answer of course, but... it takes you a bit to get up the will to respond.

ib and rp were Crushed~
befOre they COuld get in~
ai died in the game~
i dOn't knOw hOw~
ah
mp was stabbed
preta was
overwhelmed
before i could get to her

...

that's maybe everyone
that i know about

[defensivealchemist]

You open a text file to connect handles with causes of death, and mark a reminder to get their blood colors at some point. Just in case there's a correlation. You don't recognize most of these names, but one of the initials startles you.

what.
MP got 5ta66ed
when did that happen
he wa5 on pro5pit not long ago

[bizango]

Oh~was he~
i dOn't knOw when really~
reCently~i guess~

do the mon5ter5 5ta6

[bizango]
