(lunae calamitas) texts from last... dimension???

[fallingsand]

texts from last dimension

(aka everyone got one of Bruno's pen pal journals and now there's no escape)

HOW DOES IT WORK:

1. Your character can write a message to everyone by just starting with some form of "To everyone".


2. "To everyone" messages and their replies can be seen by all (and therefore threadjacked) until privated.


3. You can go private/send private messages by starting a message/comment with "To [name]".


4. The pages are endless, the journal will never end.


5. That's it! Enjoy?

to everyone

To Everyone,

Hello, this is Bruno.

I am writing to see if this actually works now that everyone is apart.

Thanks,
Still Bruno

this is somehow a misfire dwbi

[fellheart]

[ is it even possible to mass text everyone or misfire by accident in one of these? it is now. congrats on your meandering almost half asleep seeming scrawl; half of it is practically illegible, the subject seems to jump around, there's bits and pieces of spell circles and formulae interspersed here and there, but at some point near the end it starts looking just tidy enough to make out: ]

...still to be looked into:
- provisions to last at least a fortnight's worth of travel, stop by nearest town
- check on the temples near Raqote, further from capital + previous leadership? see if worth establishing anything
- stop by Koptos (trade hub + current gossip)
- information networks still functioning? too risky to make use of without revealing self
- clearing out the Table

[divineth]

To Bruno,

Verily, ‘tis operating as intended. Full glad am I for this remarkable artifact.

How farest thee and thy family?

Urianger

[fallingsand]

[ Urianger!!!! ]

To Urianger,

I'm glad it is! I guess if none of the others work, at least we can still talk.

What to know something wild? Everything turned out fine! Turns out everything needed to be destroyed so we could fix what was wrong! Sure wish the vision hadn't decided to be so dang vague about it, though.

- Bruno

[fallingsand]

[ how did someone manage to break the journals already hello??? ]

Did you mean to send this to everyone? Are you okay?

- Bruno

[leewards]

Mistook this for your personal journal, did you?

[leewards]

Did you know? Traveling is actually quite good for the soul, if your magic and wallet can afford it. Some things you simply cannot learn indoors. But still, there is no place like home.

[fellheart]

Ah.

It appears that I may have used the wrong journal. No, that wasn't actually intended for everyone. My mistake.

[ this is in as messy a scrawl as it has been; someone's not bothering to go to the effort of making their handwriting (any more) presentable but hey, bruno's already managed to read this much. ]

[fellheart]

They're both brand new and it's been a long week few months day. Seems I remembered wrong.

[ and he's hexed them both to hell and back for protection so he was too snzzzz and distracted to check for which was which. whoops. ]

[leewards]

You could not have changed colours at the very least?

[fellheart]

When I say I remembered wrong, I mean I remembered wrong. They do have different bindings.

[leewards]

Very well. I shall forgive you for now. There's nothing to embarrass you with in your notes, in any case.

[fellheart]

So sorry to disappoint on that front. Shall I perhaps amend this oversight by penning another entry, then?

"Dearest diary:

I did not miss Ylissean or Plegian politics in the least, even if I am only dealing with them from the shadows at this point. It astounds me even now that I ever willingly put myself in the midst of it all, once upon a time.

While I have no sympathy to spare for the mirror who still considers himself solely Robin, I can, it turns out, muster up some pity— if only because he is likely to hate the sentiment just as much as I."

[leewards]

Poor Robin. And by that, I mean you.

Alas, there's no juicy gossip here, outside of me not knowing your proper name.

[fellheart]

Robin was my name first, there's no matter of proper or not involved. Had I offered an alias it would have been Daraen or Reflet.

Going by the name etched into my soul invites as much trouble as shouting fire in the middle of a crowded settlement would.

[leewards]

Fortunately we are merely words on a page. Unless you would prefer I curse whoever is not the owner of your journal into nightmares for reading words not meant for them.

[fallingsand]

I sort of guessed that might be the case.

Understandably, you didn't sign the list, since, you know, it's a list, so could I ask who this is?

[fallingsand]

To the person writing about traveling,

I have thought about traveling now that the valley is open, but it will have to wait until we finish rebuilding first.

What's the most exciting place you've traveled to so far?

- Bruno

[leewards]

Difficult to say. Perhaps yet another forest of everlasting winter host to many a battle with dragons, or perhaps the grassy plains surrounded by mountain ranges, watched over by statues of warring gods.

[fellheart]

For the time being, it's still Robin.

[fellheart]

I may have already preempted you there. You think I haven't put my own hexes on my personal belongings?

Still, the fact of the matter is that I might as well give a name that I will actually be using, and any form of pen to parchment or paper is a potential liability that needn't have existed in the first place. I am not only Robin, perhaps, but it doesn't mean it still isn't my name.

Though, given that there is already a Robin with my face and identity here, I suppose one of us is going to have to change.

[divineth]

To Bruno,

While I am sorry to hear of the destruction of thy home, I am relieved that thy family was able to weather the proverbial storm. 'Tis heartening to know that hope hath persevered.

Am I to presume thou hast rejoined the family in earnest, and they are treating thee well?

Urianger

[leewards]

Ah yes, now you're looking for a new name. Hadn't thought that far ahead, did you?

Here, I shall put my suggestion into the hat: Peregrine

[fellheart]

My previous aliases should still pass muster, considering my mirror is an amnesiac who remembers nothing of the period of time where his life was identical to mine. I've only ever used them sparingly anyway, and the identities are fairly separate from one another. Given than I don't intend to be around for much...

Your suggestion for a more permanent alternative is noted, however. Sticking to a bird theme?

[leewards]

It would suit you better than any "human" name.
