[The handwriting on the rock is Muffet's usual delicately intricate purple script, for once posing a question of her own instead of replying to someone else:]

When you first arrived here, what do you wish people had told you? What were the questions that would have been the most helpful to have answered?

Alternately, for those only recently arrived, what questions would you most like to ask those of us who have been here longer?

HEY ALL!

IF YOU SEE A DOG THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS

HIS NAME IS JOHANN

HE'S TRAINED AND WON'T HURT ANYONE

FEEL FREE TO PET HIM. BUT DON'T FEED HIM TABLE SCRAPS PLEASE.

HE LIKES TO PLAY FETCH AND TO HAVE HIS EARS SCRATCHED.

REMEMBER TO TELL HIM HE'S A GOOD BOY.

LOVE, MAGNUS AND JOHANN

PS: DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?

[Now that everything has calmed down, Seto can ask a question that's been rattling around in his brain. So there's a new message on the Rock of Communication in messy handwriting.]

Hi. I hope this is okay to write on.

Is there a way to talk to someone who can't talk? I don't think something like that is in my world, so I don't know if there's something like that.


[Well there was a way to talk to someone without words in Seto's world but he's not touching that with a ten-foot pole.]

I'd like to learn if there is a way so I can talk to them more. I'll be here too sometimes if you want to talk in person. I have a blue jacket on.

- Seto


[And indeed Seto can be found by the rock, if anyone would rather speak in person.]
 
 
[There's a new message written on the Local Rock of Communal Writing, next time people happen along.]

so far east side of the island right next to the lake there's a bunch of old buildings. one of them looks like it might've been a mess hall or something and then there's a bunch of houses and some plots of land that look like they were being used for farming stuff.

i've been working on making them habitable again. figure we could use some kind of communal area like a restaurant or bar or something.

if you're interested in helping there's some stuff that needs doing
- lumber. we got a lot of it already but we'll probably need more.
- stone. the ground is marshy in places so if anyone knows where a quarry is and how to get some rock for laying some kind of foundation that'd help
- labor. goes without saying. i'm just one guy. if you feel like pitching in you could probably set up in the finished place and use it as a base of operations or whatever. we got plenty of buildings for you to use. st probably doesn't like us on their turf constantly anyway

i've got means of waterproofing already but if anyone feels like helping feel free to let me know. write here or call me on your rock or come visit. ask for tim.

-tim


[ooc: also available for action prompts! tim can be found on the H5 square, which is where everything is located.]

[A seriously pissed off voice comes through the speaking stones at a volume that's probably painful.  There's enough honest threat in the tone to be rather unsettling.]

Hey, Storyteller!  I have a bone to pick with you!  One I'm going to beat you with afterward.  The only question is whether that bone is going to be ripped out of your body or if I'm going to find it elsewhere. 

[Jules has no idea if the Storyteller gets messages through the stones or not, but he's damn well going to try.]
