Children (and spider) are leading the way, apparently

[attheclocktower]

My name is Xion. I've been here a couple months now, and there's something I want to talk to everybody about.

The Jormun have been talking about the sun dying. That it's going to be really bad - with darkness and monsters and other dangerous things. But I haven't... really seen that many people talking about it. Or at least what we're going to do. Before I got here, I came from a place where things like this would happen all the time and it helped a lot to work together, or at least not all fight on our own.

And if we're going to do that here, there's different things we should probably do:

• We need to get supplies together. Things like food and water, and clothes to keep warm. Maybe wood for fires too. We probably have healers but medical supplies too, in case powers don't work for some reason, or there isn't one nearby.
  
• We need places we know will be safe. Like camps, or bases. They'll need some kind of defenses, and people there in case monsters try to break through. We should have at least one place too for people who don't want to fight, or can't.
  
• If we have enough people with different skills, it might be a good idea to figure out who goes where, so that not everyone - people who can fight, or heal, or things like that - is all in the same place. Unless we all are in the same place, I guess.
  
• Has anybody talked to the Jormun about working together yet? We should probably figure out if they're okay with letting us help them, and if they are, how we can coordinate.

There's probably other ways we can prepare that I didn't think of. I'm sort of new at this. Sorry.

I'll try to stay around this message so I can talk to anybody interested. Look for a girl with black hair and blue eyes. If I'm not there, please leave a note and how I can contact you.

[True to word, Xion can often be found hanging around the communal rock, with a strange catpup thing in tow, if anyone would prefer to talk to her that way.]

[That's.... actually a bit interesting to hear about, if a bit beside the point, she feels.]

But I thought we didn't know if this happened every year?

[despairing_hope]

It might not be. But then, do we really know what a year is here? On Earth it's 365 days, but here it could be something else. A year is simply the amount of time it takes a planet to go around the sun. Some planets take ten earth years just to do their one year. So, this may happen every cycle, but it may be thousands or millions of days.

[attheclocktower]

Earth is that world lots of people come from in places like this, right?

[Honestly, this line of thinking is interesting, but also seems like the beginning of many headaches. What would that mean for someone like her, who even back home jumped from world to world, each with their own time scales?]

I guess we could ask, next time we go to Chol.

I still think we should be prepared. Even if um... even if it's part of this rebirth of the year thing, that doesn't mean it might not be dangerous.

[despairing_hope]

Yes, Earth is a very common origin place, though, I think almost all of us come from parallel version of it.

And yes! I am quite sure it will be dangerous, and we should definitely prepare for any potential hardships.

[attheclocktower]

I've known a lot of people who came from there, and a lot who didn't too. I'm not from it myself, but one of the people I care about most is.

[She'd teetered on writing out "my boyfriend" but in the end hadn't... quite had the courage to write it. Yet. Light she missed Yu. She missed everyone.]

If you need any help though, I'll do what I can.

Also I never got your name. This is Xion, like I said in my message.

[despairing_hope]

This is my first time thinking about people from other realities and worlds to be honest.

[Not as anything that could be real.]

Komaeda Nagito. And, I'm glad your willing to help! I'm sure there's a lot of things everyone could use help with.

[attheclocktower]

It's nice to meet you!

And if you want, I can tell you about the other worlds and places I've been to, or know about sometime.

[despairing_hope]

If you could that would be wonderful. It's interesting to learn about such experiences first hand.

[attheclocktower]

All right, I'll keep an eye out,
when all this is done. Or if we get a break, before then.

[Not that she thinks the latter is likely, but... well, you never knew.]
