INCOMING MESSAGE (NON-KIDNAPPED CHARACTERS ONLY)

A CALL FOR HELP


โ–ถ SUDDEN TRANSMISSION
On the 13th of October, the network flickers online and several messages pop up. Outsiders will probably recognize the usernames attached to them.

@ KIJYO

castle in the fog
skulls
watching us
sacrifice
help us

@ GOLDILOCKS

wolf kaiju
Promises protection
Found broken radio

@ BANKERBOY

๐Ÿฆธ=โŒ
๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ”จ=less fog
๐Ÿ‘น=๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿบ
๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ=๐Ÿ’ฉ!
๐Ÿฐ=โ˜ ๏ธ!
go toget

@ ONESTEPFORWARD

We're okay for now. Careful of purple flowers. -๐Ÿฆ†

Some Outsiders might notice these usernames to be Lucy/Kaede, Taryon, Nanami and Malkuth respectively. The messages end there and there will be no way to contact the senders or anyone who has gone missing. While Outsiders in the town will be able to use the network to speak to each other, the reception will be spotty and the messages might be delayed. It might be more efficient to simply meet up in person.



โ–ถ AFTERWORD.
The messages from the kidnapped characters are out! Thank you everyone for participating! Non-kidnapped characters may use this log to have discussions (or do whatever else might be relevant). As previously mentioned, after the 7th, they will not be able to contact any kidnapped characters, and their messages to each other will be spotty or delayed (which can make for funny shenanigans if you prefer). It is probably much easier to organise an in-person meeting, but we will leave it to you to do what you like. The townsfolk convene at the church for their daily prayers and worship at about 12 noon every day. Outsiders may use this time away from the townsfolk to have more private discussions.

We have put this up early to allow people more time to thread in it, but ICly it is going up on the 13th and will lead up to the Kaiju log on the 15th. These messages are also delayed. Whether or not the captives actually are 'okay' is up in the air ...

All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards October AC.

Thatโ€™s right. Thereโ€™s a lot of different wolf monsters out there. Wargs, werewolves, scylla, direwolves. Perhaps the skulls are part of the deityโ€™s pack that have deceased. Knowing what kind of wolf monster it is could help us defeat it.

Preferably somewhere secluded with good lighting. A barn maybe?

You know so many! Incredible!
Okay, then we should secure a barn from one of the farms. Or maybe a storage shed. Whichever we can get to first. Then you can examine them as much as you like!

On the topic of packs, though, if this is a wolf monster.. thereโ€™s a chance itโ€™s more than just one.

Depending on the kind, they typically donโ€™t travel alone.

So we might want to be especially cautious when confronting it. They look out for one another.

The god itself may be the papa or mama wolf, then. Both would be very dangerous if their children are injured.

Though is there a possibility it came to the humans here BECAUSE it had no pack?

I'm not doubting you, of course! I'm just thinking. Considering every possible factor.

Well, I don't think that's likely, but it also isn't impossible. Dogs are man's best friend, after all, but I doubt it would find itself here for companionship.

Considering it's still here, though.. there's probably some reason, so maybe you're right. Maybe it likes being praised by people.
yormama: (awkward huh)

I suppose the best case is it's only one. Worst case, a whole pack. Being ready for both will be best.

My civilian job has let me become more familiar with canine weak points, so I'll try to stun or incapacitate any younger wolves unless they prove to be just as much a threat as their parents.
