TO: EVERYONE [mid-event #20]

[ This message is sent for all Summoned to see about a week after the dreams and Heralds made their presence known. ]

Hello everyone. I know we're all dealing with a lot right now, but I thought this was worth the surprise eyeball-script.

The Heralds of War likely need no introduction at this point, but some of us still remember when they first arrived a few years ago after a poorly performed ritual in Solvunn. During that time, I'd managed to make contact with Koth and have tried to maintain some communication.

[ Not necessarily advised--Himeka did this of her own accord and curiosity. Those who are aware of her tree-form may have noticed that some of the limbs have been wilting and rotting the more time she's spent reaching out to Koth. But that's neither here nor there. ]

She's not always easy to understand, but when we spoke when they first appeared, one word came through:

"Mission"

For years my friends and I have been wondering what this meant. Now that she's back, I sought clarity. Or...I guess confirmation.

I understand her more easily these days so I reached out to her earlier today and she did confirm that this is that mission. What's happening right now in all of our communities. I'm not sure if war itself is inevitable...but she seems to believe that what she's doing will help there to be peace afterwards.

I know many here have seen war in their own lives and on their own stars before this place. If you'd like to share your stories, I would welcome them. I don't think peace is ever as simple as we want it to be, but as for if this is the only path forward...

I'm rambling a bit. This may not be a grand revelation, but I thought it important to share that what is happening now may have been building for the last few years and mayhaps some time before that as well. Only now, we may have a part to play.

Please take care,

水

[ ooc; This is Himeka's interpretation! So it may not be 100% accurate. Based on the mod response here. ]

are we supposed to be associating during active warfare? I dunno! not really a Geneva Convention kind of gal

roll call? is there any life on Mars?

SOoooO things are pretty twisted and not in the ha ha dark humor funny kind of way

the free cities are feeling a little less "free," right now and I figured I'd light a beacon so we can all touch base with each other regarding the current predicament in a full-picture less jigsaw-type of way

besides I have friends with fins in other places
HI BIG GUY

and I'd like to know he's not sushi

there's not a kaiju level starfish alien attacking the capitol, right?
just checking

TO ALL SUMMONED

Soooo this is weird and my first post on here hi.

Has anyone gone to the Singularity and tried to talk to it? Because I just did and I'm going to try to describe it but I'm not sure if this is relevant.

First of all oh boy does it have strong feelings! It threw a whole lot at me all at once, all negative, it's not having a good time.

I couldn't get like an exact thought or explanation, it was all emotions, but one thing that struck me is that it felt jealous and spiteful about something, but I have no idea what. The jealousy was clear but unspecific, so I don't know who to, or what about, I'm sorry. It's generally upset.

I don't think this is helpful because I couldn't convince it of anything or make it stop, but in case you were like 'hey is the Singularity going through something' the answer is 'yeah it's full of feels.'

I don't know if it would talk to everyone so I don't know that I'd advise it, but yeah. IDK.

Open post to everyone!

I like to think that we group of Summoned should celebrate each other's accomplishments, and SOME OF US are too humble to share. But we have enough friendships across borders that it seems just inherently wrong to keep things to ourselves.

With that in mind, our beloved genius Viktor is being awarded an honorary degree at the esteemed Grand Academy of General Science for his impressive technological work. I know that many of us have benefited from his work and therefore he will have to live with the acknowledgment of that whether he likes it or not.

SO even though he hates this and he's probably going to uninvite me from his shop forever, I want everyone to know! To the Free Cities folks, we'll be attending the ceremony to cheer him on, and there will be an afterparty at his shop. I believe Hilda has the invitations detailing where to go and when.

Also they gave him a great nickname called the "Doctor of Illumination" which I love.

If you find me murdered by being bludgeoned to death with a cane, know this: I regret nothing.

I’m not sure they have a name for the aftermath of a dragon having a bbq, Hilda. But that’s probably close enough. I know the Inn renovations have been keeping a lot of us busy, but the devastation from the aftermath of the monster attacks left a lot of places either completely destroyed or close to it.

The Red Path was important for a lot of reasons to the natives here and if they want to get some vegetation and seedlings replanted there so it’s not a wasteland come spring. That means we’re a little limited on time to get things transferred and planted before winter officially hits. At least what the desert calls winter, anyway...

Anyway indeed and before we get too far into Sylvain’s thoughts on the weather - we’ve come up with an idea on what to do. It involved a little fundraising and some talking here and there, but we’ve found those willing to donate funds to purchase some supplies to make this happen or the supplies themselves from merchants around Cadens. Some of the soil we brought back from the Nether will also be going to good use here in hopes of making sure everything planted does as well as it can, and hopefully it’ll be good as new soon. Or, well, as close to it as we can get, considering.

While we’ll be out there working on this regardless, we wanted to extend the invitation to anyone else who might be willing to join in. It shouldn’t take up too much of your time, and any help would be greatly appreciated to help the Red Path recover a little quicker. Promise there’s also a round of drinks back at the Sarstina for anyone who stops by.

Filtered to Free Cities Summoned

Hey you lot.

Sam and me are working with Mag to update the inn. We'll be adding more suites, upgrading the kitchen and the current rooms, adding an outdoor eating space, and generally giving a nice coat of paint and cleaning it up.

She's been incredibly kind letting us all take over the inn, so we plan on doing it pro bono, and if anyone feels like helping out, that'd be great. Let me know if you've got construction skills, and if not, you can always help us move things around or admire our work with admiring compliments.

We're still in planning mode so it'll probably be the start of next month or so when we get into it, but wouldn't mind people signing up now so we can organize it. Also know if you stay at the inn it'll be a little bit of construction there, but it'll go fast.

Also if there are any new folks here who haven't come yet, Sarstina Inn is Summoned central and you've got a room there if you need it.

@ everyone

[Viktor’s familiar, hurried script appears once again on its own. Without someone helping to facilitate the post, he is straight to the point, much as he was some months ago, announcing the location of the kidnapped Summoned.]

I’m well aware that most of us are occupied with the hostile creatures descending on various locations across the continent. However:

I’m more concerned with the nature of these phenomena and am currently improving the devices that the Academy will use to take measurements from the rifts. When I’m finished, the data will be more accurate than what the Cadens scientists could gather on their own. If there are similar efforts in the other factions, it is in our best interests to collaborate. I have theories of my own, as well.

[That’s, you know, the hint to pony up some intel.]

In the meantime, for those of you in the Free Cities who might be venturing to the rifts, I will need an escort. I would prefer to collect the readings myself, but I’m willing to part with one of the devices provided you are responsible with it. That may allow us to cover more ground.

As always, if you are in need of equipment or repairs, my workshop is open (unless I’m examining the rifts, in which case I’ll handle inquiries when I return).

- V

The point here is to get a central repository of intel going. If you know anything, we’d appreciate a tl;dr here for other folks to reference. I’ll also start slapping notes on the Monster Board in the Roadhouse if anyone wants to swing by, but we figured it’d be good to have an open line of communication to reference on the fly in case you run into something with teeth and a bad attitude.

Hellhounds are ferocious, wolf-like creatures typically utilized to hunt down the damned and drag their souls to Hell. They’re sized anywhere between a large dog to a small donkey. They possess heightened senses, exceptional speed and strength, and prey may experience hallucinations when Hellhounds are nearby, used to inspire fear to either paralyze or frighten victims out of hiding.

Hellhounds will be invisible to undamned humans, but scorching a pair of eyeglasses with Holy Fire will make them visible to the wearer. For aid with Holy Fire, visit your resident Angel. In Thorne, find Lucifer. In Solvunn, Michael or Gabriel. I'm Castiel, you can find me in Cadens. A barrier of salt across all doorways and windows, or simply a circle around you, will keep Hellhounds from crossing. Typically, only Angel Blades could kill them, but it appears any conventional weapon here can work. Decapitation is advisable.

Stay safe, everyone. If you need help, call us. We’re here.

To All

Hi, it's Nadine again. Free Cities herbal healer and doctor-in-training.

Now that things are settled down again, as much as they ever are, I've finally been able to finish a little project I started a while ago. Remember months ago I asked for volunteers to test cannabis based pain killers and sleep tonics?

Well, due to my funding contract with the Academy, I can't sell any of those. I'm sure they will be sold, just not by me since the Academy basically owns the rights to them. But I *can* sell the raw ingredients.

Or at least the one everyone is most interested in. The cannabis. So starting this week, you can buy 'herbal relaxation mixes' at Salves & Stitches. In small, medium, and large packages. For Solvunn and Thorne, it'll still be via the Nocwich connection for obvious reasons. Just send me a note so I can meet you in the square.

Just a warning, at the moment supplies are pretty limited so it's first come, first serve. I'm still not set up for growing a large amount consistently, but hopefully I'll have more growing space soon.

Oh and if you're a teenager...either tell me you need it for a medical reason or get someone else to buy it for you. Or just come in when Julie's there. I don't care if you want to do drugs, I just don't want to be the person who directly sells them to you.

@everyone, post-event

Right, now that's all over and done with.

The Horizon. I see that everyone who's been brought here has been getting quite adept at using it, which is commendable considering humans¹ usually have a tough time poking their heads into worlds they can manipulate with their minds – trust me, I know. It's certainly a very malleable space, and in many ways it reminds me of my home. My true home, not the Earth I was stuck on before I got here.

My point is that I'm curious, and I also only got here a little while ago. Have there been any attempts to research into the Horizon? If so, what was gleaned? If not, why not? Any information can be forwarded to me, Bartimaeus of Uruk, a.k.a. Necho of Jerusalem, Sakhr al-Jinni of Al-Arish, N'gorso the Mighty, Wakonda of the Algonquin, etc. etc. If you're looking for credentialed experts on non-euclidean planes of existence where the world itself can be moulded to the shapes of its inhabitants' choosing, look no further.

¹ And their similarly one-plane-bound kin, since I know the non-humans around here might get a bit miffed if I don't specify. Don't worry, I see you.

@all (during the week everyone's in nocwich)

I know everyone's a little preoccupied at the moment, so I'll keep this short.

I didn't think it'd be a problem to wait a few weeks to visit the Horizon for the first time, but obviously that was a mistake, so I'm hoping someone can help me out with getting there sooner rather than later. I've heard you lose your memory the first trip, and I get that people might not be interested in babysitting right now, so I don't care if you just abandon me there; I'll figure it out.

[Is this a terrible idea? Probably, but it still seems entirely worth it at the moment. He isn't a total idiot, though, so he also adds--]

And if there's anything in particular that might be good to know about the whole thing, I'd be interested in hearing it.

Thanks.

@everyone, end of week 2 (after solvunn visits)

[Viktor’s hurried script is maybe familiar to some, but what’s different now (beyond the fact that it’s slightly more hurried) is that it appears on its own. Whatever this is about, it’s apparently important enough for him to make a rare solo appearance, a departure from his joint broadcast with Jayce. Right now, it's just him, relaying information as quickly and expediently as possible.

If you’re not necessarily familiar with Viktor himself, the words match those soliciting location information not too long ago. It seems this is the culmination of those efforts.]

We know where the captives are being held. It’s an island directly north of the Singularity crater, roughly three hours off the coast of Thorne’s border, where I am now. I’ve created a map in my Horizon to show the location, as well as the data from the trackers that allowed me to pinpoint it. The explanation is slightly technical, but suffice to say the system is improved to the point where I am confident in its accuracy. Jayce and I can answer any questions about it, though you may need to direct inquiries regarding the magical component to Stephen.

[Who is here, also.]

Thank you to those who offered to collect additional data with the receivers. We would not have been able to locate this place otherwise.

The island itself is not large, though we suspect it’s heavily warded, with the exact holding area magically concealed. We weren’t able to detect anyone coming or going, so it’s likely the captors are using portals to access it directly from various abduction sites. I imagine this aligns with other investigations.

What happens now will require cooperation. Sam has done what reconnaissance he can, but we're not sure of what awaits us on the island itself, nor do we know who is responsible. Accessing the island will require us to eliminate its magical defenses or otherwise dispel its enchantments—any additional information that anyone has gathered is, at this point, vital to share.

[ooc: full receipts are here for the curious! responses may come from any of the four characters currently investigating the island, and please thread jack away. pit people…feel free to receive snippets of this message as appropriate. for additional plotting/convergence of plots, hit me up on plurk at

whitticus or discord at whitticus#8139.]

[ this comes through clear and is broadcast to everyone, though by this point sam is very aware that a good amount of people won't catch it. he tries, anyway, knowing some responses may be off or delayed or corrupted from a select few people, but he's not going to limit this.

he has enough information at this point. something is wrong, and it's not faction-focused. they need to act, and they need to act now. ]

So, that guy the other day —

( sam, the guy was sam. )

He talked about that holiday with the bird and the eating and the sitting around and talking about the good times. Never really got that myself but I made due.

Anyway, after that is the big holiday for the people from my planet. The one where you put up a tree that makes a mess, decorate until you're the most gaudy house on the street and get presents.

But, getting the feeling that not everyone does that here. So, what do you do? If you do the gift giving holiday, what other traditions do you have?

If you don't, what do you do? If anything, I guess? Maybe you don't do squat and that's sad.

Bee tee dubs, if you're looking for a gift to give me, I could use a coat. It's cold in Farm City.

[ On the first of the month, this message will go out to each and everyone one of you and it's sort of hard to ignore--unless you don't like fun. Physical versions with anything mentioning the Horizon whited out and replaced with "contact Eddie" can be found in various places around Solvunn as well. ]

{OOC| IMPORTANT: If you're interested in having your character join for the campaign, please please please add me on plurk at

muttonchops if you haven't yet! We're gonna need to set up a posting order, and plurk is the easiest place to gather everyone! If you don’t use plurk, just PM me and we’ll work something out.

There will be general "here is an open log" stuff and handwaving if you won't wanna play the campaign part though, so no worries otherwise!

This is also open for sparkle text responses. }

Hi. This is Sophia...not really speaking. Thinking? Projecting words into your unsuspecting eyes. I think? This is quite something.

I won't bother you much with my shock and awe about finding myself in a new place. I'm sure there's enough people experiencing the same things than me in your close vicinity. Help them, if you would. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

My reason to send this message is to offer my own help, in one way or another. Back in my world I was finally getting settled into what I had decided to call Dream Therapy. Basically, I can help you dwell into whatever issues you have and find positive, healthy ways to deal with them.

In your dreams. Weird, I know.

I've found that it's easier to visualize and deal with things one feel and think when you can make the issues literally show themselves. Ultimately it's all symbolic of course, but the learning one makes from it it's real indeed.

We can also just talk it out wide awake, I have some training in the more normal type of stuff.

Goodness, this has taken all too much space already. I'll just leave it at that. I don't really need payment of any sort, by the way. Just knowing I'm doing my part is enough.

Anyway, do let me know if you ever need something along those lines. Or if you just want to talk. I feel like I will have much free time for a while.

I'M OVER IN CADENS, THE FREE CITIES, AND HAVE BEEN HERE A HOT SECOND
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME

BUT THAT'S NOT THE REASON FOR ME REACHING OUT.

BACK HOME, THERE'S THIS HOLIDAY
WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY STARTED FOR BULLSHIT REASONS THAT DON'T MATTER HERE

WHAT MATTERS IS THAT THIS TIME OF YEAR ALWAYS HAS ME CRAVING CERTAIN KINDS OF FOOD
AND SINCE IT'S BEEN A SEC SINCE I'VE HAD ONE OF THESE- WHAT BETTER REASON TO HAVE A BIG DINNER?

MY PLACE IN THE HORIZON, IN ABOUT THREE DAYS' TIME
DINNER - DON'T SHOW UP EARLY UNLESS YOU PLAN ON WORKING
STOP ON BY, HANG OUT, MEET SOME PEOPLE, RELAX WITH SOME MODERN AMENITIES, ETC.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND KNOW THE DRILL
AND THOSE WHO DON'T, I'VE GOT ONE MAJOR HOUSE RULE - NO FIGHTING.
OTHERWISE, COME ON BY

IT'S NOT THANKSGIVING BUT IT'S CLOSE ENOUGH
SEE Y'ALL THERE!

PRIVATE-DIRECT TO; STEVE, NAT, TONY, STEPHEN

WANDA'S COMING BY EARLY TO HELP WITH THE TURKEY
SHE MADE NO PROMISES TO STAY, BUT I'M GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN MANAGE
IF YOU CAN HELP IT, TRY TO SHOW UP AS CLOSE TO TIME AS POSSIBLE
