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??

[pearlstrings]

[Alright, fair point.]

Let me know if you reach capacity. I know our priorities are elsewhere, all things considered.

I wondered if in your interactions with the spirits you noticed anything green and glowing. Apart from the eyes.

[sunborne]

[ day is glad they're both communicating through text. he's unable to hide the wince as he reaches out to touch his own optics, remembering how self-conscious he felt over a temporary issue he had. ]

Apart from the eyes...?

Just for clarification: Do you mean when I was being held captive or when I tried and failed to hang out with Postmaster General and the others?

[pearlstrings]

[He knew this would be difficult for anyone, and that he really has no right to the information. In the face of all of that, of what Daylight had just been through- he knowledge that he's trying to help is a very poor consolation.]

Both, if you could. I assume your eyes have been effected. That's happened to some of the people I care for too.

I'd only asked because I know you have more dealing with the spirits than almost anyone.

[sunborne]

[ it takes a while before a message comes back on day's end. whether he's trying to psych himself up for the talk or is trying to remember the finer details is anyone's guess.

but he's answering so it's a sign he's willing to try and help. ]

I can't remember anything like what you're asking for. Sorry- When they started to subject me to these weird time distortions during our 'sessions', for lack of the better word, it was hard to keep track of stuff. The most I can tell you is that the spirits, when they had us, weren't trying to kill us on purpose. (I think. Soldat and I agreed that much.)

Looking back, it almost kind of feels like, instead, they were trying to change us. It could just be me trying to find reason in that mess so you can take it with a big bag of salt or two if you want.

And it's hard to say for sure with the spirits in town. They've been wary of me since I came back. I've tried to tell them it's okay now, stuff like that, but I think they can tell something happened. You know what happened to me and the others who also had the weird effects, right?

[pearlstrings]

You don't need to convince me. It's an opinion I've already shared with a few others. If the spirits wanted to kill us, they could.

I think they wanted something else. They've always tried to communicate in the past. If the green-eyed spirits eat other spirits, it's no wonder that some characters in town are a little wary.

In my experience, change is constant. Your true nature will show through, just try to give it time. For you and for them.

[sunborne]

[ the foreboding sense that day has been feeling since his and the others' rescue... it doesn't go away - and he doesn't think it'll go away for good, in light of what happened - but it eases up. just enough for him to think it's possible. ]

Thanks. That means a lot to me.

I just wish there was a way I can help out more in this angle. They want us involved in something but it's hard to parse it out with their actions. I can kind of see the logic of what they did before, with the feast and stuff, but this is baffling.

The most I think I can do, right now, is see if Dr. Solis' music box can do anything with the spirits. The ones who are willing to interact with me, at least.

[pearlstrings]

We haven't interacted much with the green-eyed spirits. It's understandable that you're a little baffled, this is unknown territory. At the moment my best speculative guess is that they wanted to make all of you like them. The spirits don't need lanterns.

Speaking of-

Back when they visited Robin and gave her that lantern, she handed it off to Dr. Solis. If you touch base with her, will you ask for a follow up?

[sunborne]

Yeah! I'll ask her about it and let you know when I have the chance. I actually offered to help her out with that revival project of hers. Don't know if my arc energy can be of actual use but never hurts to offer it up.

Oh- If you ever need to power something or need a recharge, let me know? I can do that for you guys as well. And I feel like it's the least I can do for you, buddy. Can't let Dr. Solis have all the weird space electricity, you know?

[pearlstrings]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

There's a car that one of the new arrivals got running and it's receiving a transmission on repeat. If it's coming from anywhere it should be the radio tower.

I thought we might get a group together to go on bikes with the car, to try and narrow down the location. I tend to be conservative in expeditions. The the choice is between high risk for high reward or living to fight another day, I tend towards the latter. But if that works for you, would you like to come along? I think your experience would be very useful, but I don't want to overtax you either.

You have a lot on your plate.

[sunborne]

You're looking for the radio tower too? Sure. Always happy to help someone out if they're looking for that place. It's kind of driving me nuts that we haven't found it when it should be easy to find out of everything?

But yeah. I'll do what I can to give you and the others an edge over this. In fact- I might have some information that I can share with you about its location. Might not be much, honestly, but maybe you can make use of it. A lot better than me at least. Do you want it?

[pearlstrings]

That would be very helpful, thank you.

Would you like to come with us? We're taking a series of bikes that have been repaired from the scrap yard, one person is driving the car that gets the signal. I suspect if we fan out we might have better odds.
