[the words are scribbled hastily in loopy handwriting. those who know him may be able to figure out who is writing, based on the language he uses, and if they know his handwriting. it's not in song form, though. probably for the best]

I regret to inform everyone that I have made a grave error. I shall be brief, as I do not know how much time I have left.

One of the insectoid monsters found me a short while ago. I fear that my body is slowly changing, and that it may no longer be my own. I was certain that I would be able to treat myself, or that I would be able to remove it, but to no avail.

Take heed; do not travel outside alone. Do not attempt to fight them. Do not let them near your mouth.

I apologize for leaving this harshest of messages to you all. I do not know if I am contagious at this point, or if something else will happen to me. Do not try to find me. Stay safe, stay vigilant. And good luck.

[The person writing this does not state their name, but Ain's curly and cute handwriting is like... really fucking obvious, so he's clearly not trying to HIDE this for sure.]

Many people have come to me over the years for advice. [No one has done this.] And through my powers of observation, I have realised that many of you need more advice on things. Luckily, I love anonymity and not outing people's problems, so I've compiled tailored advice for those who need it in a safe and completely anonymous format! :O

Birthdays!!!
This is the most important thing, so this goes first. Elsword's birthday is on the 28th and I know we all can't tell time here, but it's SOON, and you all have to be nice to him on his birthday and congratulate him on being 19 and being very very cute, or I'll put cat food in your shoes. Oh, and my birthday is on the 15th and I will be 507 years old ^^


[If there was any doubts as to who this is... there shouldn't be anymore! also @ elsword sorry he forgot he hasn't told you he's an angel yet]

Advice!!!!!
From: Mr. and Ms. Dead People
Dear Advice Notebook:
We are dead where we come from. This is not the fault of the Forest, who does not count in this instance because he cheats and sucks really bad, but is because we died back home before coming here. We would really like to go back home though, because we love our home and want to see it thrive. Assuming a way home ever opens, what is your advice on how we should go about going home?
Thank you very much and you are extremely cool and pretty.


Wow! My advice to you is don't go home and stay here where you're alive, because dying sucks and how are you supposed to appreciate your world if you're deceased?? You can't. Skill issue if you want to go back home to continue to be dead after this warning. :O


From: Mr. and Ms. Timeline Anomalies
Dear Advice Genie:
The timelines have affected us. We are not where we are supposed to be.


I don't even know what to say about this other than get better timelines :O! Have you tried not playing jump rope with the concept of space and time and infinity and like black holes and stuff?? Please do not do this again.


From: Many Many Many Mr. Bad Word For Sarkazes
Hello Advice Person:
Some of us were born this way and we are discriminated against. Some of us were humans who were turned into the bad word for Sarkaz. We are very sad because we want to be loved. What do we do?


Do not worry. It's not your fault you were born or turned into that I think?? God still loves you. Not my God because she sucks and is mean but I mean the Goddesses here. And probably not your gods either now that I think about it, if you are having this issue :O! But that's okay because you can just kill them.


From: Mr. Loverboys and Ms. Lovergirls
Dear Romantic Advice Notebook:
How do I get my love interest to notice me? I would like to "get it", as the kids say.


I have a lot of advice for you, as someone who knows a lot about love! My disclaimer is that I do not like girls romantically so this will be based on how I've observed lesbians for the past five years of my life. I know many lesbians.

1. If you like women, women I think like flowers, long walks on the beach, having nails that can cut someone to ribbon, swords of the sword variety and not of the innuendo variety but they might like those too idk, being called pretty, and not having to do everything themselves. If you are a man and you make your wife do everything for you I hope you die painfully and slowly :O Anyway, the point is that you must treat women like they are pretty and delicate flowers but also acknowledge that they will kill you and many of them are secretly armed. You should fear them. And you should give them the things they like (above) as a courtship offering, like how birds do.
2. If you like men, men like swords of the sword variety we've gone over this part, shoving each other into lockers and walls and stuff, guns, violence in general, camping, outside, and feeling like they have a sense of belonging and that they're wanted. Did you know if you compliment boys they get very flustered? This is because boys are not used to receiving compliments because they are taught to suppress their emotions. Please allow boys room to let their emotions out. When you give boys all of this, they will like you. Also, you must not fear this creature, the boy, because that gives them too much power.
3. If you like people who are a secret third or fourth thing, give them all your material possessions and follow fire code.

With all of these in mind, and keeping in mind these are generalizations, there is a fourth thing I can do for you. I can make you lingerie so you can impress your love interest or existing partner. This, however, costs shells and I will not make this for anyone under 18. You'll also have to be very cool with me taking measurements of your butt.

From: Mr. Horns
Dear Advice Person Dude Thing:
I feel insecure about my appearance and worry that I'm worthless now. Do you have any advice?


My advice to you is that I still love you and find you beautiful. :O Don't give up on yourself!!


That's all for my advice column :O Next week: What to do when you really want to run a man through and can't, and "how to cope with the fact that you're trapped in the hell woods and could die at any moment", and also winter fashion advice and how to bake very tiny cupcakes.


[There will not be a next week to this, what compelled you to fucking do this.]

Good evening! My name is Shinobu Kocho. I'm a new arrival, but currently bedridden within the Clinic. I wanted to still reach out between my rest, however.

I am a Hashira and medical professional for my organization, overseeing one of multiple medical facilities, assisting in rehabilitation and psychological care as well. I have pet goldfish, and I enjoy telling ghost stories!

Now, how about you? 🦋

This is White Lily Cookie. As some may know, I've been researching Oripathy for some time. And while I hesitate to say I've found the be-all, I think... I may have made incredible progress? I've been clear of infection for four weeks now.

I'm still watching for any side effects or surprises, of course. But

Actually I don't know how to end this I'm sorry.

Okay

So

This entire autumn sucked. Immensely.

So to take our mind off things and just... lighten up and be silly, Luca is generously allowing us to play Kings Game at the Watchtower at a date to be announced later.

The rules of the game are thus:

Everyone in the group draws a stick with a number on it, save one with a crown. The one with the crown is the King, and will issue a command for each number. The players cannot reveal their numbers to anyone, even the King, until their orders are given.

It's usually a drinking game but I'd prefer the first few rounds to not involve alcohol personally.


It goes on until.... we get tired of it I guess.

Hello, everyone. This is White Lily Cookie.

I'm so sorry about what happened with my corruption and how the Forest was able to use my magic alongside his to harm everyone. If you're still feeling any after effects, please let me know.

Otherwise... Mephisto is insisting I take a vacation and I'm letting myself be bullied. I'll be on the beach for a few days in the cabanas, though if anyone wants to visit or anything I'll gladly welcome the company!

That said, my resurrection from the Garden has left me deaf. I'm still adjusting and expect to be doing so for a while... Once I return, I'll be using magic to map out the clinic so that if anyone enters, I'll know, rather than relying on sound as I used to. I'll be doing something similar to my home as well. Telepathy does work on me too, but not everyone has that.

I'll see you all very soon. ♡

So... did everyone go a little nuts on the cellphones yesterday, or did I lose a few days? It looks like I missed a lot. Like, too much, maybe?

[ Steph climbed the fence to the Dog Park a few days into the event. It was reported on the radio that she "disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again." Which is true, as far as Nightvale is concerned! ]
beathollow: (CA. 030)
[personal profile] beathollow
While exploring Night Vale I realized there was something I've been needing but didn't really... feel I could ask for since I was functioning without it. I can get some here but it won't last for too long. So.

Would it be possible to get zinc supplements made back in the Grove?
ichoosefight: (omnomnom?)
[personal profile] ichoosefight
Steph here.

I know that a ton of people have turned into things that they weren't before, and some of them aren't super recognizable anymore.

Is anyone else concerned about, like, actual wild animals ending up in the mix? I think I'm getting too used to this stuff when I pass a giant goose and don't even question it.

Also, is anyone not accounted for?

[ The letters for this message appear very slowly, and each one is a little bit sloppy. Like whoever is writing it isn't used to writing—or maybe like they're trying to write with hands that are no longer normal human hands. ]

Can anyone here alter pants to accommodate a tail?

In case anyone was not aware, a group of us is attempting to build a portal to a divine library on Beiwe's advice. Unfortunately, two members of our team have gone missing and are not expected to return. The project will continue, but additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, we need more hands. There's a lot to be done, including heavy lifting, and the more people we have to help the faster it will go.

There's no need to ask me for permission, simply come to the center of the Grove where the portal is being built and ask what you can do.

Hiii :O I've spent the last while going around to every theatre I could find in Neo Eden and watching a lot of movies ^^ I don't know if anyone else likes movies as much as I do but here are my honest reviews:

Theatres:
Swanlake Cinema (134 South Glitch Way):
- Did not have swans or lakes??
- Seats were sticky
- The nachos were okay but the popcorn tasted like air somehow
- 1/5 stars

Lumina Theatre (559 Pixel St):
- DO NOT order the popcorn with extra zönk you WILL regret it (popcorn is neon pink though which is pretty cool)
- Chocolate Fanta is the worst drink I've ever had in my life
- Sprite 3 is probably good idk Add wouldn't let me have any
- The screen was large and the movie selection is pretty good
- 3.5/5 stars

Utopia Drafthouse (3228 Byte Blvd):
- It's actually a restaurant-theatre combined so your food sort of spawns in on the little table in front of you after you write down your order (in the pitch dark might I add)
- The food was really good
- Asked for my ID to confirm I'm 21 (I'm 505??? can't they tell???)
-
-
- I'm going to be honest I don't remember what films I watched but I know it was three of them, I just drank sangrias the entire time so I was too drunk to recall haha
- 10/5 stars I will be there tomorrow

Movies: (Contains spoilers do not look if you don't want spoilers ok thank you)
Skinwalker's Lair (horror):
- Really boring beginning
- I liked the part where the skinwalker is actually in the form of a deer that stalks the group the entire time, but gradually grows more decrepit as its illusion starts to break apart and it becomes fully monstrous before unhinging its jaw (its teeth go All the way down its throat by the way) and it consumes the flesh of an innocent teenager, then shapechanges into the person it ate
- Very cool I hope to never encounter one! haha!
- 8.5/10 for the slow opening and product placement issues

Pepperburn (romance? art movie? black comedy???):
- A very good story about a student who gets fixated on a popular aristocrat and falls in love with him, and deals with some issues like substance abuse and mental health :O Mr. Jellyfish would probably like this one
- For some reason the main character licks the bathtub drain after his love interest is done bathing??? I did not like this part
- The themes of excess and obsession are very good, please go watch it
- 10/10 I cried and the bathtub scene is ignorable

Midsummer (folk horror):
- I don't recommend watching this one if you don't like excessive gore/nudity/sexual themes :O
- I like the part where the main character's ex boyfriend is paralyzed and zipped up into a skinned bear suit and burned to death :) He sucked
- 9/10 too many naked women for my tastes but I liked the rest of it

Forty Shades of Green ("romance"???):
- The worst portrayals of BDSM I've ever seen
- Too pornographic and abusive
- 0/10 also way too straight, straight people are you okay? This is what you guys get? Seriously???


Tomorrow I'm going to go see a vampire movie called "Daylight" ^^ I'll let you guys know what I think, apparently the vampires are sparkly in that one haha.

This is White Lily Cookie.

I am
( ... there's a very long pause. ) in no state to handle things on my own right now. I am asking someone to keep an eye on the clinic, the greenhouse and

Pure Vanilla's garden outside of our house.



Pure Vanilla and Dark Cacao are gone. I need time. I'm sorry.


( if one looks closely at the notebook, lily's writing is shaky here and there, and there are teardrops on the paper. )

[Sort of. Min's taking advantage of ambidexterity because it's embarrassing to be bad at things. His handwriting is notably different from his usual and probably isn't immediately recognizable to anyone who isn't Ryan.]

What do people do if they can't protect themselves here? I don't want to be stuck inside all the time, but I don't want to have to rely on other people either.

Before anyone says it, I'm not looking to learn how to fight. With all the weirdness in this place there's got to be some other way.

This is Mafuyu Asahina. It's come to my attention that another from... an iteration of my home country is here, now, so I thought it might be important to explain a specific cultural norm. Those in my country, and some similar to it across both the world and across dimensions, have very strict guidelines about names and politeness.

It is normally considered rude to use one's first name without permission. Most of my classmates would call me Asahina instead of Mafuyu despite being in the same class as while we are on good terms, friendly terms even, we are not close friends. Using one's first name without permission among peers is overly familiar at best, rude at worst. It can get even more complicated if one goes into honorifics, but I don't have the time or energy for that.

(I personally do not mind using Mafuyu with the people of the Grove due to personal matters, but that should not be assumed of everyone from Japan or countries similar to it. I just thought this might be helpful for others.)

I'm going back to resting now, unless anyone has questions? I guess. Please keep in mind I am still not fully recovered though.


( as a note, when she writes asahina mafuyu, it's with kanji that translates roughly to 'midwinter morning'! in case anyone wants to be an excited dog about name meanings. )

So this book was on me when I woke up here. Like, literally on top of me. Anybody recognize the language?

[ She does her best to copy the cover of the book here. It's in a dead language from before the apocalypse, but perhaps Dipper might recognize it? ]

I think it's a book of fairy tales? It's not especially important or anything, I'm just curious.

This is White Lily Cookie.

I'd like to apologize about the current state of the clinic. I am currently overseeing it's repairs as it fixes itself, and will tend to those who need it from the Cookie house if desired. I also am sorry for the delay in communication, as I was recovering.

To put it simply, I performed an experiment while not in a mindset to truly keep my focus and caution, and payed the price. This is not a mistake I will make again in the future.

Hi! I'm Steph. The whole magic notebook thing is really cute. :)

I'm fresh off the boat, had to get around some super creepy goop to get here, saw several people with animal parts. No offense to said people, but that's a little unusual where I come from.

I figure I've been kidnapped, drugged, or both. I don't really like any of those options, so if there's a 4th, less sucky possibility I'd love to hear about it!

Also: the goop was really gross and creeped me out a lot, what's up with that?

Thanks!
