Our people are destroyed. Our "home" was taken from us.

Our interactions have shown that this is typical among synthetics: they are mistreated, viewed as not truly alive, tools to be used and discarded at the whims of their creators. Alternately, they are feared, seen as abominations that must be destroyed.

Among worlds in which synthetics coexist with organics, it is only here that this coexistence is equal.

Here, we are "home".

(This world will die regardless of their actions, so they do not say they wish to stay. Instead, they finish with:)

We love you.

(Home isn't just a place, after all.)

Query: what is your opinion of the current situation, and the options presented to us?

no one else has come across a yan in their home world right? or is it just me?
tiny-looking sheep. big horns. aggressive bastards that can cast meteor magic. and have the power to blow you away. literally. just by snorting. you could end up anywhere on the damn islands.

long story short. unless youre a real strong fighter you need to stay the hell away from these things.
one other thing. anyone have a spare knife? kind of mislaid mine

[Translation: I landed in a tree, my knives fell to the ground but I can't go and get them because my tail somehow got stuck in some tangled branches but you guys don't need to know that.]

(And now Legion is making another network post. This time, rather than sad, they sound alert, alarmed.)

Multiple corpses of entities from our universe of origin have been deposited on the shores of Enso. They are commonly referred to as Thresher Maws.

They are exceedingly large, difficult to kill, and typically only a few are likely to be found living simultaneously on a planet: we are uncertain as to how this occurrence is possible.

Faust-Doctor is gone.

(They had thought, at first, that he had gone exploring, or had simply wished to be alone. But they are familiar with his routine, and he has not "turned up" at any of the locations where he should normally be found for some time.

He is gone.)

Hmmmm. So the last couple of months have been kind of a doozy for a lot of us, huh? So I was thinking. You know what this place needs after all that?

A party!

I think we need something like that after all that's going on. But maybe like a big bonfire and some food. And maybe some music too if anyone can provide that. [If there are instruments here. He hasn't seen any.] Unless some of you have other ideas. Whaddaya all say?

[The Drifter found something. They found something cool. Their traveling companions were not, evidently, too interested in dealing with the ancient weaponry found in the old ruined buildings - but the Drifter very much is.]

[So now they have ten very old firearms between the three of them. Pieces of another civilization's history that's also a weapon? This is Christmas.]

Multiple artifacts and sources of data have been discovered at both the underwater ruins and previously explored locations.

(Legion's voice is probably familiar to anyone who has been on the island long enough. It's very distinctive.)

Suggest consolidation of data and recovered artifacts in a single location.

[A message appears on the bulletin rock one afternoon! Imagine that!! Whoever this is, they don't write very often--there's nothing else recent in this handwriting.]

¿Does anyone want more books for the library? ¿More clothes? Anything at all, I'll get it for you.

Between all of us, I think we've got enough stories saved up for the crazy monthly emergencies, so I don't mind spending some of mine. I have enough.

We intend to attempt to grow the flora species known as "living lanterns" for practical use.

We wished to know if there were other varieties of flora that would be useful or desirable.

Stones of farspeech; within a day of the intro log

This is very sudden, and perhaps badly timed, for which I apologise.

[He really hopes he's not wasting the time of people trapped in rockslides or something, but--well, he would also hope someone trapped in a rock slide would be focusing on that and not. This.]

But I've just... returned to this place after a long absence and I've been informed there are other robots here now?

Is this true?

My name is Epsilon, and I am--was? Am. A robot myself.

So if anyone who can hear me has any kind of AI, or a similar form of existence... at your convenience, I'd like to speak with you! It's been a long time since I've known any others.

.... also, if you do need help, Ginko and I are able to move a great deal of earth between us, so please say something.

[Well, Zidane had been here for a few weeks so far. No matter what, he was determined to get back home and help the others trapped here, no matter how long it took. And yet occasionally, he'd get a moment where he really missed home and wondered if he really might have to stay here for a while. Still, dwelling on it would not get him home. So for now, he tried to distract himself with what was going on by exploring and helping rebuild from the earthquake. And one day, an idea came to him....]

You know, unless I've missed it, I don't think I've seen a theater in this place. If there is, maybe one of you guys can direct me to it? If not, then we need to fix that! Luckily for you guys, I used to be part of the best performer troupe in all of Gaia! I know all about this kind of stuff.

So how 'bout it, everyone? How about a place where we can put on some plays? Maybe other types of performances too if that's your thing!

[Stones of Farspeech] A Request or Two

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.

[ ooc: you may write your requests below. be warned that if you're not very specific, the Drifter won't be specific in their request either, so if you want something specific be sure to be specific (or don't, to maximize Comedy Hijinks should the storyteller read the request wrong). there is a top-level to pool stories below but the Drifter has A Lot so don't feel like you have to chip in if you wanna save up for something else! ]

Hey there, islands. Happy new year and all that, if that even matters. I mean, the holidays don't seem to matter here but there's a calendar so...?

[There's a pause, and Lance clears his throat.]

Anyways, this isn't about that! Recently I put in a request with the good ol' Storyteller because I was reminded of something from back home and thought, with all the crazy things that happen here, something that's a little more chill and lowkey might be good?

It's this, uh, game? Called Monsters & Mana. It's a little hard to explain and it's super nerdy, but it's pretty fun! You roll dice and pretend to be a character and go on an adventure the Lore Master puts together for you.

I've got a lot of books for it and everything we'd need to play it, but I don't want to just keep it to myself? So if anyone wants to take a look at it or play it just hit me up!

See ya!
