[primordialerebus]

Hey uh... wanna go get ice cream.

[sunborne]

[ there's so many things he wants to ask in the wake of what the heck happened but- ]

We can do that? Really?? [ look...! this is very important to him, okay?

because ice cream. ]

@d.grayson ( jason's arrival )

[identifier]

have you got a minute?

[sunborne]

Hey there! :D

Yeah, I have some free time right now. What do you need, Mr. Dick?

[moderatelymaladjusted]

I have found a place. A cabin in the woods. If you wanted to meet up and I could. See how you are?

I'm in the cabin with the broken fairy lights outside

[sunborne]

[ !!!! ]

Hey Quentin! Yeah, I have some free time right about now.

I'll swing by in just a bit. You won't miss me, promise!

[unpredict]

[ when the hallucinations seem to end (and things wind up stolen), kol's grateful for the fact none of the spirits thought to steal daylight's sketchpads. but that leads him to wondering just when the sketchpads can return to their rightful owner. is daylight alright now? does he still feel like he can't be around them? was it just the hallucinations?

no point in assuming. ]

While I appreciate being able to hold your sketchpads, even I have to admit they're getting a bit heavy for me.

[ hi! hello, daylight! here's a fun joke about how heavy your shit is for someone who's carried heavier crap (not that your sketchpads are crap). ]

[sunborne]

Oh!

[ daylight had just been checking his tablet for something when the message pops up.

it takes him a second to remember the events that lead up to him giving away his items to someone - it honestly still feels like a fever dream, and a terrifying one at that - but the mention of sketchpads has everything clicking to place.

he jumps to his pedes, nearly knocking his helm on the ceiling of his room as he tries to hurry out of the cabin. he doesn't, um, remember where the house(?) is exactly but better to just start moving! just in case! and he can totally type while moving too, you know. ]

Mister! Hi!

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry for making you keep my stuff around for so long. I should have gotten it back and I'm sorry I didn't. It's been a heck of a few weeks for everyone. Have you been okay, mister?

[inthenightmods]

[After the Night Market has descended back into the lake, Daylight receives an inbox message!]

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING TWO (2) HINT(S) FROM DR. SCHICKSAL'S HINT-O-MATIC. YOUR PAYMENT HAS BEEN PROCESSED.

[Daylight will no longer have a sense of smell. Each time he sleeps, the first person he sees upon waking up will strike fear into his heart, and he will be terrified of them until he sleeps again.

These effects will last until the next full moon.]

[sunborne]

[ fun fact: DAY IS GOING TO BE INITIALLY MORE UPSET OVER THE FACT HE CAN'T SMELL FLOWERS THEN THE FEAR STRIKING HIS CORE THING.

#priorities ]

AT HIS HOUSE

[lunchbreaks]

[ On the morning of the 25th, Daylight might awake to find attached to his door a bouquet of dried flowers, with a lovely velvet bow tied around the stems. There is a note that simply reads "To Daylight, From Aziraphale." ]

[equinoctials]

Around this time of year, back on my island, friends and family traditionally give each other gifts.
This file will supposedly lead to more housing, once our tablets can triangulate locations, we can find it. I couldn't put this in a box and wrap it for you. Hope you don't mind.
Thanks. For being a light when I need it most.

Text -- Backdated to Christmas

[notthatjason]

[Attached is a picture taken just outside the church. It's a small army of tiny snowmen (no taller than 5-10 inches) or perhaps more accurately snow sigillaria. If you look, each snowman has an initial on its belly to correspond to the people Jason considers himself close to. Written in the snow are the words: Happy Saturnalia & Merry Christmas.

He couldn't find enough gifts for everyone he wanted to, so he sculpted these an sent out a sort of Christmas card instead. Of course, the snowmen are still there in person for the foreseeable future.]

[inthenightmods]

The next time Daylight stops by the Post Office, the Postmaster General will hand him a whole heap of mail.

• From Robin, an old, brass kaleidoscope! There's a note attached: Right back at ya! ♥


• A hand-crafted woven basket! It's lovely! There's a scrap of old newspaper inside with a crudely drawn flower on it.


• A woven bunch of thick leaves of grass, knotted together to form a shape that looks approximately bird-like. The way the grass shapes the bird's body forms a kind of tube, almost, like this is meant to be used for... something?


• A small, expertly-machined music box. The cylinder can be swapped out, but for now, there's only one. When played, Daylight will notice that the little tune sounds more like forest spirit language than any sort of song. There's a card attached, as well, and written inside in scrawling cursive handwriting:
  Dearest Daylight,
  There is no need to thank me. It is the least I can do.
  Best, Dr. Maridel Solis


• Finally, the Postmaster General pushes an enormous pile of very shiny pebbles (much like a penguin might get for their mate) toward Daylight. There's also a whole sheet of stamps with different kinds of flowers on them! With, like, three stamps left, but they're very pretty.

[inthenightmods]

[The next time Daylight visits the post office, the Postmaster General will hand him a letter! It's written in precise cursive handwriting, the penmanship quite practiced.]

Dearest Daylight,

A happy new year to you, as well. There's no need to thank me for the gift, though I am pleased to hear you're enjoying it. I must confess that sending a music box was somewhat selfish of me; perhaps you will see why in your continued fraternization with the forest spirits. I hear they are quite fond of you.

Do not apologizing for making this request of me. I understand that you write with this town's best interests in mind, as you and others who have attempted to contact me have long since proven your intentions in earnest. I believe you when you speak on behalf of the community, and I trust that my safety would not be compromised should I choose to include myself among your ranks.

However, while my own safety is indeed a factor in my hesitancy to appear in a public forum, I must also consider the wellbeing of the town. In the past, I have made myself available to peaceful groups only for my presence to then spur distrust, creating a rift in the community. I would loathe for a similar fate to fall upon this community you all have worked tirelessly to build.

This is not to say I am against the notion of my eventual introduction to those of you unlucky enough to find yourself lost in this place with me. Quite the opposite, in fact, as I believe our cooperation is our only path forward—rather, I simply wish to illuminate the motivations behind my actions so that you and the others may understand that my reclusivity is not the result of any failures on your behalf. I would not engage to this degree if I had any doubts in your collective capabilities and compassion.

While I would prefer to delay any sort of "dramatic reveal" to the masses, it would be quite rude of me to deny you the answers you seek, don't you think? If you find the idea agreeable, perhaps we could meet for tea in the church. You may bring along a friend if you like, though I humbly request that you keep our rendezvous plans between yourself and your trusted confidants until after we've spoken. I would not want the townspeople to rile themselves into a frenzy over the notion of my visit.

In the meantime, I have met with another among your ranks, and he has informed me that some of you suffered hallucinations of Beacon as it was years ago. Please do encourage those affected by such hallucinations to write to me, as I am most curious as to how accurate these visions depicted the home I once knew. Perhaps I will be able to shed further light on what you've learned through these experiences. I am not currently connected to the network, but letters may be sent to me through the post office, as you know. The venerable Postmaster General will know how to reach me. (By the by, they speak quite highly of you.)

Please let me know when you may be available for tea. I look forward to putting a face to the name.

Best,
Dr. Maridel Solis

[If Daylight would like to meet with Maridel, let us know and we'll set up a log! He may bring along a +1 of his choice.]

recieved: jan 16, thursday.

[sunborne]

[ internal screaming!!!

and maybe a little bit of external screaming but he's not going to bother poor postmaster general like that.

after he reads through the letter, he informs postmaster general that he'll have a reply to the sender in a few days time and will be back soon...! ]

[ ooc; i would like daylight to meet with madriel! date still pending due to planning things out with others since he will bring someone with him but - would next week be possible for the log? ]

THE LATEST OF GIFTS (Dec 25)

[primordialerebus]

A plate of sun shaped cookies colored bright orange and flavored with lemon! A bit too much lemon maybe, but it's fine! At the bottom of the pile is a Daylight cookie decorated with royal icing. It's a bit messy, but if you squint and turn your head sideways, it kinda looks like 1 smol Daylight!

With this, a note:

Dear Daylight,

Thank you so much for sticking with me despite me doing dumb shit, locking myself in my room a lot, and like, literally everything. You're my best friend here and I'd probably be like dead without you.

<3,
Coraline

[moderatelymaladjusted]

Soldat said you know something about a radio tower.

[sunborne]

Quentin! Hey! I hope you're doing okay.

To answer your question: Yeah! I know about the radio tower. Sarissa and Kol and I had visions about it when we ate the feast food.

What do you want to know?

@darkness

[evulsed]

Well? I'm waiting, Daylight.

@langit; text

[arsarcanum]

day day day hi! tell me about spirit day! can i come with you for it sometime?

[sunborne]

Hey Langit! Nice to hear from you!

Spirit Day is basically a day where I travel around Beacon to spend time with my friends. I do stuff like check on them, give them stuff, and do things to strengthen our bonds!

If that doesn't sound boring to you, I'm totally cool with you joining. I was actually thinking of adding more stops to Spirit Day since we know more locations right now!

[inthenightmods]

[After the Night Market has descended back into the lake, Daylight receives an inbox message!]

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING ONE (1) HINT FROM DR. SCHICKSAL'S HINT-O-MATIC. YOUR PAYMENT HAS BEEN PROCESSED.

[Daylight will notice his body changing colors! Continuously! Blue on blue is out this season, it seems, as his body will slowly shift through a rainbow of different hues throughout the day.

This effect will fade at the end of the month.]

[sunborne]

[ dheiryhfdsdl.

all things considered, day will not complain about the price he had to pay for the information he got. he may have gotten -50 in stealth but he was never stealthy to begin with so. let disco ball month commence. ]

[dadandgone]

I received a package and letter from our doctor friend. I won't transcribe it word for word, but I wanted to make you all aware of some information that I think needs to be known NOW.

1. Confirmation of the amusement park. The coaster we saw a flier for does exist and does do what we hypothesized it would...it's a "humane method of suicide." If any of you go exploring and happen across the amusement park DO NOT LET ANYONE ON THE COASTER.

2. She thinks it will soon be time to connect to the network. She didn't give a day, but it sounded like it would be soon. I don't know if we're to wait to reveal her presence then or if you all think we should finally call another town hall to inform everyone else about this.

If you're curious about reading the letter for yourself, let me know.

@wayne

[pearlstrings]

Hello Daylight.

I know my timing might be insensitive, but I had a few questions if you're feeling up to it.

[sunborne]

It's fine. I have a feeling if you waited for it to be the right time, you wouldn't be able to at all.

What do you want to ask??
