[ Given everything that 76 has learned in the past few days, there's no doubt in his mind that he needs to inform the rest of the refugees about what might be coming. That bandit seems to have been telling the truth, or maybe what 76 saw up on Namarak Mountain was staged, but that seems like way too much work for no real gain that he can foresee.
Enough of the details have checked out that a warning seems necessary. Only a few of the refugee group had actually been on the missions to transport the heart and the skull, and there's no telling that all of them learned what he did.
While this is his first time posting on the network, 76 doesn't introduce himself, but just gets right down to business. Who he is isn't really important here. ]
Word probably got around that Nithor's skull and Ysverai's heart were being transported back to Olympia and Wyver, respectively. Well, things didn't really go as planned. Both caravans got attacked on the way by a group of bandits. I managed to chase down one of them and question him. He was surprisingly forthcoming.
Assuming he was telling the truth, and that's seeming more and more likely at this point, it was the heart that they were really after. These bandits are part of the same group responsible for the abductions, and they took Ysverai's heart up to Namarak Mountain to perform a ritual.
Apparently, that ritual was to revive Ysevrai, and if you've seen some of the skeletons of the old dragons, you know what that means.
I went up to the mountain to see if I could interrupt the ritual, but it was already over and cleared out by the time that I got there. I did find a cryptic note that looked like it was written in blood. It said "He Shall Rise Again."
According to the radical I interrogated, this dragon could mean the end of Olympia and Wyver and everything else. I don't know how much I believe that, but we need to be ready for anything. If you've seen anything, let me know. If you have questions, I can try to answer them, but this is most of what I know.
[ Not everything, though. There's one detail he's still sitting on. But Wyver family drama isn't something he wants to report to all of the other refugees, aware of what kind of unrest that could cause among the natives. ]

and uh yeah.... sorry for just up and poofing like that. I have no idea wtf happened
no subject
You went back into stasis. I just don't know why you were able to keep your memories even though other people haven't.
no subject
you have a real name right? not just a codename?
and I dunno why I got to keep 'em, but I'm glad I did. it was hard enough arriving here the first time. it'd suck to have to forget everything and then go through learning our damn worlds blew up all over again
just in time to hear that some nutjobs wanna blow up this one, too
no subject
Yeah, I have one. Doesn't mean you get to know what it is.
Maybe we can actually keep this world intact. No one actually remembers the Storm coming for their own worlds, based on what I've heard.
[ Having some agency this time around will be a change for the better. ]
no subject
Also, rude much???]
Figures.
[Can he hear the eyeroll in that text? Because there was definitely an eyeroll.]
Yeah, if I can help stop some shitty people from blowing up the only world we got left, I'll do it. Whatever it is that I can do.

[ 76 would rather not watch some reckless kid get himself killed because he thinks it's the right thing to do. ]
feel free to drop this if it's like 4 billion years too late, i'm sorry!
[Well, if Akira and Ann have told him then Ryuji guesses there's no point in hiding it.]
I've fought Shadows before - it's a little different from what most people think. They're kinda like monsters? But dragons and shit are from video games, yanno? This is some crazy stuff to be dealing with in the real world.
you know i'm incapable of dropping things
Agreed. I'd say don't get too close until we have a better idea of what we're up against.
So what are Shadows, and where did they come from?
i wanted to give you an out, but we're in too deeeeeep
I mean yeah sure, it's not like I was gonna go up and shakes its hand. Wing? Claw thing? What do dragons even have?
UM Shadows are like...monsters. I dunno how else to explain it without sounding completely insane. They come from people though as far as I know.
no subject
Monsters that come from people? How does that work?
no subject
And idk, it just happens? Sometimes people are really messed up and that makes Shadows. Usually they don't go around wrecking cities and destroying planets though.
[AKA I'M NOT TELLING YOU HOW I COMMIT CRIMES BRO]
no subject
If they don't wreck cities, then what do they do? I assume there's a reason you have to fight them.
[ Really, he's the last person who would care. ]
no subject
And they attack shit in their own way - we gotta fight 'em when they do.
[That was suitably vague, right?]
no subject
Well, 'shadows' or not, I don't think anyone is gonna judge you if you sit this one out.
