cw: Implied gore?

[intercalaryninja]

We recovered a typewriter that supposedly belonged to the Night God. We wanted answers but instead it carved a ritual out into my arm. We performed the ritual and we managed to stop the Fog God from bringing in newcomers.

However, the ritual can't be performed again. And on repeat uses of the typewriter...

Well, let's just say that I am very familar with the Old Ryslig version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

[legbreakings]

What is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?

I see now. If there was one object that belonged to the Night God, there could be more to be found.

[intercalaryninja]

A Western nursery rhyme. A song sung to children. It is more or less meaningless.

The typewriter was found in the possession of a collector. There may be some around the city too that haven't been recognised as relics. So there's a lot of ground to cover. I'd appreciate you keeping an ear out if possible.

[legbreakings]

I will. I'm still new to this world and will have less contacts than you do in Bavan but I might be able to contribute something of worth during my travels.

We do need to meet up in person finally when I'm back, both to talk about the swords and more important matters. I chose it but it can be difficult at times to live far away from most of my allies.

Could you work on the bow and arrows in the meantime, suitable for a 9-year-old girl?

[intercalaryninja]

It is alright. I live near Lake Dala so I understand how you feel. Commute can be troubling at times. If it's more convenient, you can come over or we can meet at the Typhoon Theatre.

Of course. I have some designs up for the bow. I'll try have them ready when you're free to meet up.

[legbreakings]

I think I will visit you at home when I do, if you don't mind. I avoid spending time in Bavan whenever it is possible, and I haven't seen much of Lake Dala yet.

If anything urgent comes up during our travels, I'll contact you right away. Otherwise, you should hear from me towards the end of the month.

I can make you a top level at the Hill House whenever you want!

[intercalaryninja]

Sounds like a plan.

Stay safe on your journey. Hope to hear from you soon.

<kyouken>

[justbeingknife]

I'm done with the Fourth God. You picking up neutrals, still?

< hazyreflection >

[intercalaryninja]

We always are.

Out of curiosity, what triggered this?

[justbeingknife]

You want the short or the long version? The short version is openin' up my laptop and reading about how someone I thought was a friend murdered someone I care about.

All for some god laughing it up to herself about the chaos she's caused, I'm sure.

[intercalaryninja]

Whatever you're comfortable with sharing.

I'm surprised that means you want to join me. Normally, such a thing would have someone flocking to the fourth. Not that I'm complaining.

cw: terrorism

[justbeingknife]

Oh. Now that ya mention it, that already happened. Remember those attacks last year? When they gassed a hundred innocent people?

That's why the Fourth sounded like a good deal. A place to disappear to on the quick if any psychos showed up, a little extra power to fight them? Not to mention I owed 'em for letting me see Kamurocho again.

But I'd say that debt's well and paid. I'd rather live right than wonder when the other shoe's going to drop with Elias.

[intercalaryninja]

Ah. That.

Well, I'm happy to have you. Our numbers are small, so any help is appreciated. I was going to push for numbers but I wanted to have something to show before i did so.

I want to prove we can make a difference without those two.

[justbeingknife]

Sounds like ya already have something in the works.

I could talk to some people anyway, if it'd be helpful. Is the only requirement that someone be neutral in terms of divine alliances?

[intercalaryninja]

Something to discuss in person.

As long as someone doesn't commit themself to a Ryslig Deity, I'm happy. If things need to change because of the company, we'll address that as we go along.

[justbeingknife]

Then let's get together soon. You concerned about the whole 'working against the will of the Fog' deal?

must write the event &submit to mods so I can have things for tsukikage to present at the meeting..

[intercalaryninja]

We could have a meeting at the Typhoon Theatre. And maybe we could bring along anyone who would be interested joining us?

I'm very concerned. The discourse is terrifying. In most battles, infighting would benefit the opposition but... I fear that Fog followers retaliating against each other on what is 'the Fog's will' will only lead to greater displays of chaos and violence. There will likely be many casualties.

excellent

[justbeingknife]

Is there a history of that happening?

I can definitely count the number of times I've seen 'em go after Fourth followers, or people who ain't even involved in either. But it's seems like they mostly argue with other Foggies. If they break ranks and murder each other, they must be more private about it.

also known as a spidey sense

[intercalaryninja]

Call it a bad feeling.

I can't explain it. It's like a tingling at the back of my spine. Perhaps it is paranoia.

ba dum TISH

[justbeingknife]

Well. It is only a matter of time before someone does somethin' else stupid.

[ if nothing else, he'd learned that much ]

Anyway, don't be a stranger. I'll probably be by for the Halloween party.

[intercalaryninja]

I won't. I'll see you at the party, then ::::)

<kyouken>

[justbeingknife]

Say, what's this I hear about your mystery birthday?

< hazyreflection >

[intercalaryninja]

[Oh shit. Who tattled?]

I don't have one. I'm a ninja.

[#blatantlies]

[justbeingknife]

That's a new one.

[ Apparently, Reira was right. This dude didn't want to give up the goods. ]

Do they buck some kinda ninja regulation?

[intercalaryninja]

My world is strange.

[True but not for this.]

In a sense, it's a way to identify me. We try minimise on those.

... The date's not mine to share anyway
