Who: Everyone
What: The monthly info share!
When: Several days after the new moon
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Mentions of child death, past life talk, discussion of body horror, mentions of live burial
( after everyone's had time to rest after "forest quest", eventually felicity will, one by one, tell everyone to meet up at the inn at 6 pm. by the time they get there, she'll have several snacks out- cookies, breads, and chocolate croissants alongside fruits and vegetables and cuts of smoked fish- and a giant pot of tea and another of coffee ready with the fixings. it looks like she's got a whiteboard out? but no, she's mostly just 'writing' in the air just in front of a wall to make notes. she's already got a summary of what they've already learned and shared previously. )

THE LOCALS
HEIMR - runs the general store, a sad dad. "gave up his name" to the forest, which is why he's a shadow person now.
YDALIR - runs the trading tent, able to access other worlds??? "gave up her name" to the forest, see above.
RUSTY - a very good dog. be nice to him or else
ZAHLIYA - a gargoyle who's been brought to life. able to deal with corruption on a certain level. likes cheese. guardian of the grove, has many titles. good for him.
NENE - add's kid now, dealing with heavy corruption. guides people from the garden back to safety. say hi to nene she's here somewhere. if she ever brings you back to the grove, listen to her.
MODER - the big moose lady. used to be evil. she's cool now.
PLACES
INN - You are Here. Several rooms on the bottom floor can't be opened, give a heavy sense of dread when approached. You may have noticed an odd sense of familiarity otherwise.
ALDRIC'S MANOR -Contains at least three children, one dead. Elsword discovered a map and a journal there. Currently unable to get past the walls. The children inside are conducting a ritual, the details unknown.
PEOPLE FOREST - A part of the forest where the trees look like actual people. Very fucked up.
THE RIVER - Home of the river guardian, who Elsword and 9S (not here anymore) freed. Return the remains of any fish you eat to the river, as it's requested. Also it made us an apple tree. Underneath the river were previously the remains of dozens of people who had been buried alive. Unsure if this has changed since the original monster has been defeated.
VOLCANO - ???? FUCKED UP
THE GARDEN - Those who die or experience fatal injuries are brought here to recover both body and soul. filled with flowers and an ethereal mist. remaining in the garden after recovery leads to risk of degrading into the mist itself. to leave the garden safely however you are forced to pay a toll (permanent physical injury confirmed, memory loss, skill loss, ect. claimed)
CHURCH - ??? Nene used to live there.
THINGS
ALDRIC'S JOURNAL - contains information about how the grove used to be, including the fact that "we" used to live here. hold questions, this will be discussed further. Many pages are missing, and it's presumably not the only journal he's kept.
OLD PHOTOS - pictures of us that have been scattered around the inn. presumably of our "past lives". fucked up if true.
THE FOREST
A childish monster that's managed to take over the entire forest. Must be asked nicely to get wood or to enter long enough to forage or hunt, and thanked nicely after. Will throw tantrums so hard that it thunders and lightning strikes. Has a plethora of cursed plants and mutated or mutilated fauna ready to attack. Able to infect people with cursed plants also. Dangerous, petty, able to inflict curses for a time. Do NOT engage if possible. Threats include Carnivorous Flowers (able to absorb abilities of people it feeds from), wood wolves, patchwork "werewolves" made from various creatures and people, and more.
OTHER
THE MOON - changes in the sense that it's literally a different moon every night. sometimes it's one that's already "visited" before.
THE SEA - shown on the map, mentioned on the journal. it looks like a cliff overlooks the waters. there's notes of unusual happenings but it's unclear if it's just normal but weird fish or legitimate sea monsters.
( ... yeah, it's. it's a lot. felicity eventually "caps" the "marker" she was writing with and steps back. )
Sorry if I missed anything, but- this is what we've got so far. I'll be adding to the board as we go- or share the marker as needed. And please remember, every bit of information helps so if you know something, please say something.
( please put information in separate toplevels, labeled and warned for clearly in the headers. only let the character who did the discovering reveal their new information. threadjacking may happen given the nature of this info share mingle.)

[He doesn't mean to raise his voice, but everyone's pain and upset filtering into him, on top of the general upset he feels at having a best-friend-turned-boyfriend continually insulted, on top of apparently being one of the people who's too lenient... those sharing with him will get a brief-but-diluted spark of frustration.]
Stop. This isn't about Add making mistakes, or any of us apparently being too lenient for your liking, or Mizuki following after and listening to Add. You said it yourself, we're here for information, but while trying to make your pact with Lancer, you peppered in a random insult to my partner and friend. I'm not okay with that. You can have your opinions and beliefs on people and that's okay, but it's not okay to throw out insults about an unrelated topic, especially a person who's sitting right there and can hear you.
You don't know what other people are struggling with. It's rude to assume everyone is going to be perfect. Please stop it.
no subject
You’re right. I’m sorry.
[ She feels the anger and she knows it’s time to step away. ]
I will work on this. Perhaps Add and I can sit and talk about this some other time to air out concerns.
[ But for now, she’s gonna slide from this conversation… ]
1/2
no subject
I’m sorry. I should’ve… deescalated things. Compromised. I just got angry, I didn’t mean to. I’m really sorry.
no subject
...
A lot is happening right now. I'm too tired to deal with it.
no subject
You don't have to, it's alright.
no subject
awkwardly... clearing his throat... like, he really should've spoken up sooner, but Mizuki and Elsword butted in first and then he kinda wanted to see how they'd defend him... it's hard for him to argue when she's saying things he agrees with, too. he can't hide his pangs of guilt from her, even amidst the counters of the Add Defense Squad™.
but this is still about his decisions, not theirs, so.]
I've already accepted the fault for that mistake, and we've discussed the previous incident. If there's something more you want to say about it, we can talk after the meeting.
no subject
You don't have to feel like that, Doctor Add. It's alright.
no subject
... I disagree on some of her interpretations, but she's not wrong. I've left a poor impression of myself, recently.
no subject
Irene will hear a thought in her head especially because by this point he has yeeted out of existence:
Mizuki gives me rise for concerns. ]
no subject
I only know of one Aegir out of a dozen that doesn't raise concern. This, unfortunately, is pretty much what could be expected of them. ]
no subject
He is like a kid who never grew up and now has too much power, I know someone like that in my realm.
She is a bit more responsible about her abilities, but still as clingy as Mizuki seems to be. It is a recipe for disaster if someone is not careful and can keep him in check.
I'm concerned, for the rest of the people within the Grove and his antics.
Though I do not sense him stalking me anymore, he at one point, would do so relentlessly. I imagine he does the same to anyone here. ]
no subject
...Perhaps it speaks volumes that that didn't even occur to me as an issue. That is just... something that happens among the stealthier operators back home.
Not to say it's not wrong, because I do think it is, but I also know he doesn't mean any harm by it. ]
no subject
I see.
He pauses. The silence between them lingers for a bit.
His obvious romantic obsession with others then, is also normal? Considering I feel everything he feels, I do not think he realizes how borderline insane his feelings are. ]
no subject
Not in a broad sense, no. Generally, it's frowned upon, but I had to put up with Laurentina's bullshit for too long to say I don't expect it from Aegir.
Translation: Irene is Aegir racist now. ]
no subject
It is not normal then, for him to feel that way? That would make sense.
Why he feels confused and conflicted - frequently. The way he handles his feelings is tumultuous. Almost self-destructive, as if at any moment he may make the wrong move - and with what I just saw here.
Well... I am sure you can understand what I mean.
The sort of triangle of love warfare is just... Bringing back discomforting feelings for him.
Never mind it, I am just giving my opinion. I do not like him, (He means Mizuki) outside of his strength and uses otherwise.]
no subject
Rarely does Irene get along with Aegir. There's one back home she can handle. One. Out of, like, the ten she knows.
From what I've seen of him... which isn't much, but he is incredibly emotional. That's not inherently a bad thing, but on top of his lack of social awareness and impulsive behavior...
...
I wish to stay on his good side the best I can. He just needs a bit of guidance, I think, and that doctor is not going to be a good influence for him. ]
no subject
As someone I am bound to now, and will work closely beside. I am only offering you the knowledge of what dangers are presented. If any physical action is had towards you, out of his own anger - even if it is an accident. I will not hesitate to be lethal in my reaction to him - such is the relationship between Master and Servant.
There is a dry pause, but an intense feeling of persistence sits with it, and then he continues to say:
Mizuki has intense emotions, and I am used to bearing these feelings - mind you, because of my type of existence. However, what he endures as a living entity - is something no person should go through, lest they end up acting out poorly.
It will only get worse, if something is not done. That is my opinion on this, so that is all. ]
no subject
Let me handle this one, yes? Besides, there’s more pressing matters to resolve. ]
