GAME START!
Nightly Visitor
It hasn't been that long since your arrival to this island, and everything is still new. Each day brings new surprises and more questions than answers, and there seems to be no easy way to find out anything about this world. What little outside contact you get from the radio or your Friday visitors certainly isn't helpful in any meaningful way.
Unfortunately, the questions will only continue to pile up. Because eventually, after a week or so of being on the island, anyone who stays out late will start to hear strange sounds outside. They're almost animalistic, in a way, but they will not resemble the cries of any animal that you might be familiar with. This is Something Else.
They're not close to the Town Hall though, and the sounds seem to be coming from the North, but that is about all you can get without further investigation. And investigation may be necessary, as the noises will return night after night, starting right at sunset and tapering off as the sun starts to rise. Whatever is out there, it's nocturnal. And it sounds desperate.
What will you do? Will you talk to others and make a plan? Will you try to search for the source of the strange noises? Will you look at day, or during the night? Or will you use the radio to call for advice?

You can also use this space to play out any prompt from the test drive meme, or anything else you may want to do.
Everyone can do a search and get some plot information once per character. This can be done either solo or in pairs, so there can be some overlap to make sure everyone gets a shot at getting plot information. If A and B form a search party at night, then that will count as both A and B's searching. A could then help C make a radio call and get some information that way, but B and C could not then subsequently do another search (as B and C would have been involved in a search somehow already).
This post will be open to investigating until May 24th, 2021. At that point, no further mod responses will be given. Even characters who app in after game start can come in and investigate, so long as it is before May 24th.

You're hard at work. Do you think we'll be here long enough to warrant making these homes livable?
no subject
[Yuri plops down what seems like an old, old cookpot full of utensils in various states. The pot itself definitely looks rusty and generally not good to cook with, but it helps transport little things and that's the important thing.]
And maybe I'm a bit nosy about the world I've been dropped into so unceremoniously.
no subject
[At least they don't seem to have any ill intent, though they are basically trapped here...]
[He looks down at the pot full of utensils.]
And it does seem that we have little choice but to make use of what we can find...
no subject
no subject
[He's pretty sure this isn't the Sage's world, at any rate.]
But for everything to be left burned and abandoned like this... it seems likely something terrible happened here.
no subject
[He's hoping there might be clues in the more intact buildings. And not. You know. Possibly forgotten remains in the more destroyed ones.]
And is it liable to happen again?
no subject
[He doesn't trust these people entirely on blind faith, at least.]
...I haven't sensed anything dangerous though, so it should be safe enough to look through the houses.
[In case Yuri was worried, or anything.]
no subject
[He doesn't ask sarcastically, just...he wants to know who else he's working with here. What they can do.]
no subject
[Knowing (almost) everyone is from different worlds makes it less likely he'll get immediately negative reactions for being a wizard, but he's not counting on that too much.]
At least, if there were any curses or malignant spirits left behind, I would know.
no subject
Oh, well, that's good! Definitely don't want any of those around. Especially ones from a world we only know so much about. Out of curiousity...have you picked up on anything lately?
no subject
[Maybe it's already been purified, or maybe wrathful spirits just don't have that level of power here- who knows.]
[More softly,]
Still, it's likely everything here belonged to the dead. We should be mindful of that.
no subject
[It is said with a hint of regret. Yuri's not about to go hunting for highly personal items, but...what else can they do? They're stuck here with only so much.]
no subject
[He wants to say there's the possibility there could be survivors who left, but really, he's not going to be that optimistic without evidence.]
If you do find anything troublesome, you can let me know. I should be able to purify it.
[You know, anything cursed or spooky.]
