Unidentified undead are flooding the castle. The guards have engaged them.

I want to know everything we can about them. What do sensing abilities make of them? Are they Sorrow-tainted?

Dunno who's planning to do something reckless, but I caution against it. I saw something--a vision. I get them, from time to time. I only get ones like these as a warning. Something horrible's coming--something deadly. Very, very deadly. Talking about an entire army being wiped out and then some.

I'll talk more to whoever it seems relevant to. Let me know where to meet you and I'll talk to you in person.

I have an important task that needs attending. There is a young woman in town right now. A girl. Some thing was put around her head that blinds her vision. And it's not the most unpleasant thing it does, either. She's starting to look very sick.

[There was a pause as he contemplated how to proceed, before a pencil pressed into the paper hard enough to engrave the next few words into the page.]

I want it off of her. I'll explain what I can if someone is willing to look at it.

I won't tell her who you are. If she doesn't know, she can't be forced to tell.

Day 17

angel_of_death: (Lost in in thought)
[personal profile] angel_of_death
I would like to share some thoughts with you all.

I was one of the people involved in the fight last night. I apologise for writing in blood before, but I didn’t exactly have the time to bother with a pencil.

I would like to speak to the [There’s a pause here, as he considers what to write.] young man who used the large sword last night. I noticed a flash of light when you struck, and I want to know more about it, and the weapon in general.

Some time back, I visited the maze with someone. We saw the gazebo right after the seal was strengthened, and at that time I also noticed a bright light there, flashing whenever something tried to form inside like it was fighting to stop it.

I also realise those of you who arrived late enough to see the large dog at work might see my message and dismiss it. I wrote that message after a clear observation of the first possession target being burned. The entity inside him escaped and emerged, only to slip inside of the second target as he accidentally breathed it in. Fire alone did not work.

Speaking of which, I hope those who were there got their burns seen to properly. The corrosive cloud it used was able to eat through steel. As I don’t know whether it is acidic in nature or not, I can only suggest washing anything that came in contact with it with plenty of water.

Other things I noted were a remarkable regenerative ability. Cutting off the head of its host probably won't stop it, so don't be fooled into a false sense of security if you try it.

However, I did notice a degree of degeneration over the course of the last fight. The body of the man who was possessed started to look an awful lot like his Lordship's eyeless servants, or those other servants that were wandering the halls some nights ago.

On a related note, I hope you all saw the earlier note about the eyeless servants. If you haven't, read it.

[Great. Just great. He'd had a feeling that things wouldn't go smoothly, but this was a true annoyance.

Instinctual attacking wasn't going to do. The usual wasn't going to do. So when the dark smoke-like vapour entered Albastru and Yun had sought to keep him contained, Walter ripped the notebook he carried from inside his shirt.

He didn't bother with the pencil. The hand he'd clasped over his wound as it was bleeding was still covered in fresh blood; in haste he used it, scrawling a message in large letters across the first blank page.]


Do not use fire

Marian here, making roll call.

Is everyone all right? If you can help it, Do not go outside. I repeat, do not risk leaving a safe location if it can be helped.

In the castle- if the basement is compromised, stay in the rooms that give off the slightly warm feeling when you cross the doorway. Those areas should be safe.

There may be a room on the main floors that has this, as well as food.


[Maybe she should try drawing a map...no, not now. Hopefully people aren't inside the place, and no one has decided to have an adventure in the maze tonight.]

In the meantime-we could try to entertain each other while we wait, if you want?

Maybe do a name game, tic tac toe, something more complicated to make the time pass faster.


[Please help her. She hates being confined, and she's going slightly crazy with cabin fever.]

I have a very important idea and need all the help I can get.

The spirits need to go rest, and the book I found has given me an idea.

[personal profile] sky_sharkling
I'm not sure what happened last night, but it seems like a lot of people aren't feeling good about it. And I've been kind of out of the loop with things lately, so I was trying to think of a way that might help cheer everyone up as well as maybe get together with people again.

It's getting colder, so it made me think of something. Back home, around the end of the year in the colder months (at least it's cold then in the part of the world I'm from), there's a holiday called Christmas. It's basically a time that everyone gets together with family and friends and exchanges presents with them.

Maybe we could do that here? Have it on the next Day, so people can get ready for it and the like. Everyone could come to the town for it, if the townsfolk don't mind. It could be like a festival.

Is anyone else concerned about the maids and guards getting stuck on loop? I've been watching since they started doing it last Day and it only seems to be getting worse.

And with no chores assigned for the Day again... (Credit for trying, Tricks, but that doesn't really count. Also, you forgot laundry buckets.)

It's really giving me the shivers. The Qliphoth didn't give me this many shivers.

On that note, I'm starting to get concerned about our funds as a whole - we have the gardens for food right now and they seem to be resisting the cold, but that's not all we need to survive. With no chores, there's no money flow. I know a couple people have gotten work at the shops, but is that really enough to sustain everyone? And those who don't have any fallbacks like that... Well, I'd hate to start charging for lessons.

Also, did anyone other than Marian and I investigate the tailor's last night?

[Awhile after night begins, and after Sync has spent some time talking to Sil about what happened, a new post appears in the journals. He still hasn't used this enough for most to recognise his handwriting, but those who do will realise it's a little shakier than normal]

The basement isn't safe, especially around the crafters rooms. I don't know if it's still there or not, but there was a monster hiding in the carpenter's room. It's already killed one person tonight.

[He doesn't write any more than that, no 'be careful' or anything. It's a warning, and that's all. Sync doesn't care what happens to most of the people here. But for those few he's beginning to realise he does...hopefully it will be enough]

[Mid-morning there is suddenly excited handwriting appearing, no drawings or anything like that. But anyone who has seen Luce's handwriting will know it belongs to him.]

I told someone over the Journals last night I will tell them about what I found when exploring the journals but I realized I didn't find out who they are so I think it would be best to put it right here because there was a lot of really really cool things I found!

Like I found Mr. Stefan and Marten, and Marten showed me a little house and it needs to be fixed and I need to find something to give Marten because I think he and Stefan gave me the things I got this morning. Marten is really cool, and Mr. Stefan is too.

I also got some fruit and potatoes!

For those who do not wish to live in the Keep full time, I've come across an opportunity.

The bullmen have agreed to start building a place made out of stone.

If interested, please contact Marian here or in town.
angel_of_death: (Patience is not one of my virtues)
[personal profile] angel_of_death
Anyone that gets the urge to wander into the stone maze branching off from the garden is to consult these notebooks first.

The gazebo inside of the maze is to be avoided at all costs. If anyone or anything tempts you to go into it, do not listen to them. If you learn of someone planning to go near it, stop them.

One misstep in that place could cost us everything.

Those with anything else to contribute regarding the maze may do so here, if they so wish.



Also, if anyone knows a bloke called Estinien, I have a message for him. Tell him his little green girl is safe.

[This is a new handwriting, plain and printed, not particularly tidy, sprawling across the page a bit.]

Can someone help me? I got this note, but I'm not sure I understand all of it. Maybe someone who's been here longer would know what it's talking about.

Meet me in the stableyards if you want to have a look at it.

[It's a short message he jots down in the books, in the same cursive hand he is probably by now known to use in his writing.]

There are wraiths outside tonight. As I recall, they'll follow you if you're alone, so if you must come outside, travel in pairs if you can. If you can't, I've just been told having a source of light will cause them to hesitate, but it won't keep you entirely safe from them.

Be mindful of your surroundings.

[ Sometime early in the night, during Kaito's downtime, a series of lines begins to draw themselves across the next empty spread of pages.

The lines aren't completely straight. His busted shoulder means that even with a ruler, he can't utilise both hands to make the schematic perfect. However, his hand is steady and he works with patience to make sure everything lines up the way it's meant to. He'd practised on other non-journal sheets beforehand.

Eventually the map below takes shape, annotated in blue and red. ]

(click image for larger version)


[ In the corner, Kaito writes some notes about the watchtowers. ]


Watchtowers
There are four towers. The stairs lead to the tallest one.
They're lined up alone the side of the castle (you can see them from the Horticulturalist's room).
There's a guard room on the way up that has weapons, supplies etc.
Also a fox which can see through magic maybe.



(Disclaimer: All the above names are ones which Kaito has decided on. They are not necessarily the official names.)

[ Syhr'd been fortunate enough to Echo the information correctly enough to infer, she believes. So she's going to do this for others there. ]

Eorzea is my world. So I figured I'd give a quick guide so you lot can understand what's being said.

Ilm seems to translate to inch.
Fulm would be foot.
Yalm is yard.
Malm is mile.

We use bells, not hours.

Our year is about three hundred eight-four suns.
Suns are days.
Moons are months.
An epoch is a measurement of twelve years, as opposed to a decade.

We say nameday instead of birthday.

Onze instead of ounce.
Ponze instead of pound.
Tonze instead of ton.

I can answer any questions you have, if you have them.

Two things -

First, to those of you I've been teaching, a warning: This kind of weather usually leads to thunderstorms over the night, at least where I come from. Do not use the Third Fonon (wind) during any kind of electrical storm. It GREATLY increases your chance of getting struck by lightning.


[The word 'greatly' is written at about twice the size of the text around it, and doubly underlined.]

In unrelated news, if anyone has an interest, I've got a bunch of peppers here that haven't been tasted for spicyness. If anyone wants to volunteer, you can pick your poison over by the garden door.

[[OOC:If anyone wants to thread out getting a random pepper, feel free to give me a log-style reply to this post! They range all the way from bell peppers to pointy-red-hot style to some tiny black ones that are crit-fail levels of spicy. Feel free to roll!]]

I'm going to join the birds for a while. Where did he go in town? I need to know for sure.



[ Bit of a pause and then, in a different hand (as if someone else were writing it): ]
The view is nice from the watchtowers.



(ooc: I added a prompt for post-midnight meetings with Kaito to his open post. If you're interested in what he knows about the third floor, this is him offering information.)
