to: everyone because how the hell do you filter something in this situation

Listen up, children.

We all have to live here. We've come a long way in these walls and while the current regime isn't about locking you up to get this nonsense sorted out, that doesn't mean they shouldn't.

This isn't a sideshow freak tour. Don't get your grubby hands all over the glass or litter all your useless trash all over halls, we have a raccoon for that, and she's likely more tidy than the rest of you.

Go deal with the flooding or something useful, will you.

What Lucifer means to say is, hey guys. This message is intended for the people showing up in Thorne unexpectedly. Welcome to the castle! Sorry about the shitty situation, and also for literally everything he just said.

Since we've almost entirely run out of people with more seniority and better people skills, we figured it was kind of up to us to step up and go over a few things with you, or answer any questions you might have.

I think first and foremost, if you're not... super familiar already, Thorne is a little less loosey goosey than you might be used to from the Free Cities or Solvunn. We're more tightly monitored here, and the things we do tend to have a sort of ripple effect on the people around us, so. Just. Something to keep in mind. We also try not to all go to the Horizon at once, it gets a little suspicious, so if you can, try and stagger it out.

Usually Istredd is the one teaching beginner magic classes and I just assist him, but since he's gone, I guess I can... pick up on a few until he gets back? So if you're not already familiar and want to learn some basics, you can check out the class schedule and come in whenever.

Also, the raccoon isn't feral, mostly, but it's not really a good idea to piss her off. And please put your library books back in the same condition you found them. That one's more of a personal request.

I think that's mostly it. Was there anything else?

I'm not teaching any of you enchantments.

If you end up in someone else's occupied room don't rifle through their possessions. Besides, the rest of us have likely already have done that, anyway.

Ask around for Dion if you need other general assistance. He's--I don't know, he's around somewhere.

Great. That's so helpful. Thanks.

Anyway, that's all. So. The end. Bye!

( ooc note: red = lucifer, green(ish, shut up) = jack. replies may come from either, or both. threadjacking is encouraged, petty bickering may occur. we really just wanted to shitpost with everybody a little tbh. )

Open to All

Uhhh roll call? I know I'm not the only one who suddenly found herself elsewhere. Thorne's ... real interesting.

If someone in Solvunn could check on the orchardists, I would appreciate it, they're a really nice family and they'll be worried.

TO: EVERYONE (Posted in morning)

To the Summoned –

Right then, sorry to blast this into all of your eyeballs first thing on this fine morning, but it seemed like the sort of thing most of us would be interested in discussing. We’ll get right to the point.

Some new nonsense is happening with the Singularity. A few weeks ago, Dion and I paid it a visit on the Horizon side. I didn’t offend it but we didn’t get much out of it. In light of recent events, we’ve gone back, and it seems as if it’s feeling a bit more lively now.

In our initial meeting, the only feeling, if one can call it, was a sort of vague recognition of us, particularly so when I made mention of our potential future. My personal experience with the Singularity is quite limited; however, other experiences indicate this is not unusual. What is unusual is this new state of the monolith as of now, a sort of alert consciousness.

Istredd’s taken it upon himself to do some proper follow up, so we’ll let him get on with what he’s found.

The Dimming happens on December 21st of every year but the Singularity starts waning throughout the month of December. It is dormant on that day, enough that people can visit in person. I've been there twice. It is the natural cycle of the Singularity. Cid saying it's feeling a bit more lively is deeply concerning, it is supposed to be slowing down right now.

After hearing about the tremors causing havoc on the outskirts of the crater, I decided to investigate. I had a suspicion. Going inside of the crater around the Singularity kills the natives of this world. We are instead thrown into the Horizon. Many of us experienced that in April during the collective vision we had, when our territories threw us in there.

I am sorry to say my worry was well-founded. The tremors from the Singularity pushed into the territories and the crater has taken ground. I recommend that no one from the Summoned investigate closely. For right now we don't know if this is reflective of what's to come or just a strange one-time incident. I don't want anyone to panic, but we should keep an eye on it.

I currently do not have an answer as to how to stop it or how to force it into dormancy. I know that there are people in our community who have a connection to it. If you could approach it and see if it will communicate anything worthwhile, or see if there is a way to calm it, that might be helpful.

For now, I would recommend those who are near the base of the crater give it adequate leeway. From the amount of power it appears to hold still, we can only estimate it will continue to grow.

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. ]
