[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.

Oh well um will... you help find K4lfour... before then, m4ybe, ple4se?

[bizango]

oKAY
I CAN FIND HIM NoW IF YoU WANT

[apiarycryptonaut]

Re4lly, you c4n, yes?
Ple4se find him, yes!
Th4nk you, Silly-o-nigm4, re4lly!

[bizango]

ooooooooKAAAAAAAAAY

...and you proceed to not come back while you tear your way through your collective headspace, despite numerous, increasingly violent protests from the others. You have a task to do and it is, for once, a fun task!! Nothing's gonna stop you now!

[apiarycryptonaut]

You're not sure how Silly-o-nigma's going to go find Kalfour, but you suppose just sitting here waiting is a good idea. Good thing you've got puzzles to keep you entertained for however long it takes!

[bizango]

Well she'll be waiting quite awhile then. Very nearly an hour in fact. But eventually the window flickers to life again on the other side.

i'm

Awake. Which is the thing you least want to be. But there's something... someone? holding you here now. You blearily watch the window in front of you, confused, wondering why your head hurts so bad.

[apiarycryptonaut]

You'd honestly started to wonder how long it could take, especially after you'd finished several patterns on your rubick's cube's surfaces. The one word, though, pulls your attention right back to the screen.

Oh, hello K4lfour, yes?
Welcome b4ck, I think!

[bizango]

It takes you awhile to focus again, minutes slipping you by before your eye catches on the words... Impossible words.

What do you mean?

You must be dead, right? That color is from before the meteors, before everything... Mm. You try to retreat again, but you are pressed back into place.

[apiarycryptonaut]

4bout the welcome b4ck?
You were missing, yes!
I don't know why... but um 4re you... ok4y, mostly, m4ybe, yes?
You don't h4ve to... be missing, no, you're... found 4nd s4fe, I... hope I think, yes.

[bizango]

No no I can't... be awake right now.
I don't want to.
You're dead, aren't you?
So I'm maybe dead... too, I think, right?

[apiarycryptonaut]

Huh wh4t? No, no!
I'm very very very... very much 4live, yes!
4nd you're not de4d... I'm sure of it.
This isn't 4 dre4m... either, no, it's re4l!
I don't w4nt 4nyone... to be de4d 4nd... I don't think 4nyone... is de4d, no no.

[bizango]

Wow you... legitimately flinch away from your husktop for a moment.

she's dead

[apiarycryptonaut]

W4it wh4t no, no... no no. K4lfour, who?

[bizango]

preta

Typing it shakes you. You feel sick suddenly.

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh no, th4t's, it's...

Something clicks in your head and you can't stop yourself from apologizing. Someone is dead. Someone Kal knew.

I'm sorry i'm sorry... i'm sorry i'm sorry!

[bizango]

don't
maybe please

[apiarycryptonaut]

Um, well, oh, um.
4re you ok4y, K4lfour?

[bizango]

i'm fine

You aren't. But at least lying still comes easily to you.

[apiarycryptonaut]

Ok4y! I'm h4ppy you're... not lost or de4d.
Ple4se don't be lost... or de4d ever ok4y?
Th4t's not something I... w4nt 4nyone to be... ever ever ever ever.

[bizango]

...you take awhile to respond again. She's so happy and it's... draining. You want her to hurt... you want everyone to hurt the way you do, but... the moment that thought slides across your pan, you smother it, smiling viciously at nothing in particular in the hopes that it might cheer you a little.

me neither
how are you maybe alive

[apiarycryptonaut]

Well it's not m4ybe... 4t 4ll, no no.
I'm 4live, yes, 4nd... g4thering inform4tion so th4t... doesn't ch4nge, I think.
I think you're in... the g4me we're joining!
Th4t's wh4t Duri4n 4nd... the others 4re t4lking... 4bout, I think, yes.

[bizango]

you're joining the game

Why would anyone do anything so monumentally stupid as that.

[apiarycryptonaut]

I 4m, yes yes.
It seems very d4ngerous... but 4lso I think... it's 4 good ide4.
There's 4 lot of... unknown inform4tion, though, yes.
Th4t's the re4lly h4rd... p4rt, it re4lly is.

[bizango]

i guess maybe it would be

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh oh oh oh!
But um K4lfour, bec4use... of the w4y the... g4me works I think... we 4ll might be... 4ble to see e4chother!
Th4t seems like 4... very good go4l to... 4im for, I think.
I'm going to meet... every pl4yer, eventu4lly, yes!
Including you, yes yes.
