[The sound of rushing water and heavy breathing can be heard in the background before Jules speaks.]  

What the minsid hell?!  Where did all the god damned water come from?!

[There's a brief pause before he comes to a very quick realization.]

Who pissed what off? 

[Because he knows someone must have pissed off something.  Normally he doesn't have to ask who did it since usually he's the one doing it.  Pissing people off is a talent.  But here it's different.  Here he avoids all the minsid god beings like the plague.  He is absolutely confident that this ISN'T HIS FAULT!]

I swear to all the gods that for once it wasn't fucking me!  

[ She'd woken up with the dream weighing heavily on her mind. While it might be nothing, it could also be something, and she doesn't want to take risks, especially with everything she's experienced here. So... ]

Hi, everyone. It's Mira, and I recently had a dream that I've been kind of worried about. It's probably nothing, but in case it turns out to be something that might happen, I can't just keep it to myself.

I don't really remember a lot, but I do remember... fire. Lots of people screaming. And something that smelled like-- [ lord, she hates this, and the hesitation is painfully obvious ] --cooking meat. It didn't feel like the storytelling, and it felt real, especially for a dream.

[ The cooking meat bit couldn't be burning flesh. Definitely not. ]

... I know that's not a lot to go off of, but it felt important enough to share, especially with any new islands that might appear.

( ooc; threadjacking is totally encouraged! )

I realize most of you are busy with the new island, but if I can, I'd like to borrow a moment of your time. This shouldn't interfere with new explorations, fortunately. It's actually rather dependent on them.

[Ignis has been very absent since Gladio was sent home last month. Even now, it's hard for him to reach out and exploring in this mindset is not the best of ideas, but he also can't allow himself to idle any longer.]

Shion and I have been discussing the creation of a list of questions we can ask each new deity we run across so we can compare answers to look for patterns and other things that may help us begin sorting out the greater mystery of this place as we learn about each island we come across. There are obvious general questions we can ask, but we wanted to see if there were any more specific ones people would like added to the list. If you have anything, can you let me know? Your help is most appreciated.

[There is a momentary pause where the only sound is Ignis softly drawing a deep breath as he steels himself for the next topic.]

For those who aren't aware, Gladio has been returned to Eos. Prompto and I are going to do our bests to keep the lighthouse workshop stocked and in good shape. We're also going to try and keep his projects on the farming islet going since they are of benefit to us all. We could use some help, though, if anyone can volunteer.

Also, if you were working on a project with him, can you let either Prompto or myself know? We don't want any of those to fall by the wayside.

[His voice gets a little softer as he finishes the communication.]

Gladio wouldn't want that either and I want to do this for him.

Thank you.
