We're okay for now. Careful of purple flowers. -π¦
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.
βΆ 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.
[ Now isn't the time to wonder whether Elijah ever saw those purple flowers β or to linger on the relief of seeing Malkuth's recognizable username β and Yesod focuses on Ishmael's reply. ]
In that case, we can presumably conclude that these are not the same type of flower. Unless you experienced harmful effects of some sort in the moorlands?
Not as far as we know. We only stopped and stared at them.
Which is why I wished that she could've been more specific. So much for being a Librarian who would know something about the history of flowers in the City.
It seems that you are allowing your grudge against Malkuth to cloud your judgement.
[ It won't help to argue with Ishmael again, he knows, though reading each of her remarks about Malkuth rekindles what he felt then. ]
As I said, describing the color is sufficient information, in this instance. Indicating that she and the others were "okay for now" also concisely communicates that they were well at the time, although facing impending danger is to be expected.
Malkuth was fond of detailed manuals. If she had the opportunity, she would have sent us an equally comprehensive explanation.
In any event, we now know more than we previously did. We must make use of what we have learned until we can confirm the others' current status ourselves.

There's a considerable amount of delay between comms. For all we know, they could be dead by the time we received this message.
no subject
That is a possibility. Do you believe that Malkuth's message prevents us from preparing ourselves for that eventuality?
