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.

[That IS kind of weird, but Rin is just going to assume that Cyan is afraid of the dark. He's nice enough during the day, so surely it can't be anything shady or worrying! Right?

Right now Rin is facing down a problem of "how to get wood from main island to sheep island". They need to fix it up to start growing and raising food, but they also need to move trees there! And Rin is a little dumb and doesn't know what to do beyond "carry there" and there's too much of a gap between islands to just toss them over.]

I wish we had like...a book or something, to help us out here. You don't know anything about building shit, do you?

[argentlarvae]

Not really... but it can't be too hard... [Okay, there has to be an easy solution. Or at least a functional solution.]

[aono]

That's what I thought, but you know, I don't know how to turn big logs into like. Wood.

[He doesn't know how to describe carpentry either.]

[argentlarvae]

Do you need big logs? What are you trying to build?

[aono]

Well, there's the fence on the sheep island, to keep the sheep in, you know? And then we'll need wood to patch up some of the houses here.

[argentlarvae]

Oh, you don't need big logs for a fence! You can just use small logs, and then weave branches around them.
