Hey guys, it's Aster. Xion. I know it's... been a while.

[ She moves to brush past that particular awkward admission. ]

Is... anybody good at figuring out handwriting? Shion and I have another one of those documents that we've been finding but it's um... it's a little hard to read. I'm by the big rock, if anybody thinks they can help.

For everyone else... I'll try to get a transcript up on the rock as soon as I can.

[ True to her word, she'll be at the communal rock bulletin board with the letter, and later a transcript will appear, alongside some of the others that have been put up. ]

[Keith walks up to the rock bulletin board as he pulls his hood back.]

Alright. Let me see it.

Keith!

[ The relieved smile that lights up her face is automatic, if not as strong as it normally would be. For a moment it looks like she wants to say something else, and she does, but in the end she offers the document she found. Gently, considering how old it is. ]

H-here. I can get parts of it but others....

[He takes it into his hands very carefully. A frown mars his face. A E 21.]

...So I had the dates wrong. I can get it. I can read this off if you'll write it down.

[attheclocktower]

Yeah, got it.

[ She flips around, getting some chalk and crouching down next to the clear spot on the rock she'd already found. She could get a paper transcription later, too, but this way everyone would be able to see it sooner. ]

What about the dates?

This is the start of their calendar. I thought the longer number was.

[He goes back over it again, his frown more pronounced. He has a feeling he knows what A E means. He sits down and reads out loud the first part. He might not be able to get all of it. But some of it he can read.]

[Action] is this good or did you want figuring out the letter to be limited to just Keith?

[After a little while, Aster will be greeted politely a the rock by a spider lady, seemed as composed as ever, if a little bit tired.]

Thank you for sharing this, dearie.

[Muffet moves gracefully past the awkwardness as best she can, not wanting to make Aster feel more uncomfortable by dwelling on her absence lately.]

I can't promise I'll be able to decipher this letter, but it certainly seems worth a try.

[Her own handwriting is fairly, well... spidery, so perhaps she'll have some luck with it.]
