bulletin rock; july 20

[ichininyaanshi]

[Appearing on the rock today is yet another piece of paper salvaged from Umui, strategically pinned near its collected brethren. A messily scrawled note has been added beneath it in chalk.]


(transcript)

you guys seem pretty worked up about all this, so here. ren-chan, the dog, and i found this in a bunch of flowers. there was a whole binder, but this is the only page that survived. i have it if you wanna look at it anyway. don't expect much.

as for what this thing means, who knows? if you ask me, it looks like they put some effort into this place. maybe they actually gave a shit about whoever lived here.

sucks to lose no matter what you try.

[As for Ichimatsu himself, he can be found lingering about the bulletin rock on occasion throughout the day, if anyone wants to catch him in person. Otherwise, he'll return now and then to respond to messages.]

[The arrow points down to the binder in question, which Ichimatsu has left propped up against the base of the community rock. It does appear that there had been several other entries in it, but the original number is unclear; the binding is loose, and what pages remain have crumbled into dry pulp within their plastic sleeves. The only thing of legible interest is the label upon the binder itself, which says: RECORD 1.001.]

[He had missed that. But now he kneels down and searches through it as carefully as he can. He checks the binder itself and hello clue.]

This says RECORD 1.001. With that evidence...I think there's more than 12 islands on this survey.
