[Shion takes the opportunity whilst Aster is resting to 'accidentally' gather up her farspeak stone whilst tidying. So that he can make this announcement out of her hearing.]

Hello everyone, it's Shion. Firstly it's Aster's birthday on the nineteenth of this month for those that know her! She won't want to do anything big but I'm going to make her a birthday meal. I think I know most of her friends but if you know her and not me let me know and you can come for tea.

Secondly I've been thinking about something. I know there are people here from worlds were magic and special powers exist. I was wondering if those with such magic found anything strange about it here. If there are any places on the islands where your magic hasn't worked or has worked in a way that you did not expect it to. Also if there are any other oddities about using it. If you don't want to talk over these stones feel free to come and find me. I live in the southernmost hut of the North-Western Islet.

[It's been like two weeks since pumpkin carving happened. A cute and fun event that probably doesn't seem that important to most.

The Hollow Knight begs to differ.

The voice on the network is non-descript. The default for those with no voice of their own. You might've assumed that, with how little they communicate even considering their muteness, the Hollow Knight just doesn't have a lot to say.

You would be wrong.]

The purpose of surrounding oneself with the hue of death willingly still escapes me, even as time passes. It still remains, like a mockery, and no one understands the danger of it. Do they just not care?

I swear these virulent spheres are up to something and no one here will be safe until they're gone!

Even a trace of the light's influence should be destroyed, not simply carved into a decoration. It's inviting doom on us all. Just how much more of it is present here? How far does it reach?

Why does it have to be so orange?!

[...they're ranting about a color.]
