★ WEEK TWO: FORWARD MOVEMENT ★

[modaphor]

[A lot has happened in a few short days.

Arche has grown a great deal from her interactions with the assembled agents of the facility; thanks to their influence, her chamber has taken on a few new additions, including a rapidly filling curio cabinet and, more recently, an orange and black Maine Coon kitten has come to stay in the facility as well. Thanks to Ginti's advice, he is no longer confined to his transparent tank in Arche's Chamber; in fact, you may see him wandering around during the week. Please be kind to the local wildlife!

On a more serious note, Arche has located one of her missing memory cores, which comes with some...vaguely unsettling information surrounding it. But, since the general consensus seemed to be "yes, we'll help", she is now hard at work securing the gateway to the pocket dimension; if asked, she will approximate that it will take her until late Thursday night to get everything up to scratch.

In the meantime, she's helpfully provided some recommendations for people to work on this week, in preparation for this week. If you need something to think about, you might try working on one of those?

Otherwise, the facility is still available to you, as is Arche. Have a good week, everyone!]


SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[OOC: As with last week, if you want to talk to Arche, please use the subheadered comments! Also, we had some agents looking around for clues last week, so as a way of encouraging and streamlining that —

If you intend to look for clues, please explicitly mention what sort of thing you're looking for and approximately where you are looking, and consider asking for mod attention in the comment header so I can find it easier! Thanks, everybody!]

[thermals]

< Naaah, that would probably be more trouble than it's worth. >

[redideya]

[Damn that would of been entertaining.]

Oh, I never asked your name did I?

[thermals]

< Mm? >

[The bird falters for a moment. He hadn't really been giving his name to anyone, but now...he really had no reason to keep it from the rest of them. Ginti knew now, at least.]

< Oh, uh...Tobias. My name is Tobias. >

[He'll just have to tell the rest later.]

< Everybody's been calling me Wings lately, though. That's fine too. >

[redideya]

NiGHTS. It's a pleasure to meet you Tobias.

wow I did not get a notif for this

[thermals]

< You too. >

[He pauses for a moment before continuing.]

< ...where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? >

I only just got one for this and the one with the mod just now. Odd

[redideya]

[Ah this question again.]

It'll be easier to just say I'm from the world of dreams.

dw are you screwin' with us

[thermals]

[...well, at least Tobias is used to some pretty wild things, but that's a new one.]

< Sounds like a whole different dimension of sorts, then? Different at least from earth...or wherever this place is. >

It's not as bad as when LJ screwed with us though

[redideya]

Sorta, kinda! It's one that you visit only in your sleep after all.

[thermals]

< So you're, like...from a dream.

...don't worry, I'm not going to ask "what are you?", or anything. >

[redideya]

[They tapped their chin, that wasn't completely accurate and it was inaccurate in a bad way. Truth be told they were created by something else...but that's a long story.]

Mmm not exactly. Me, Nightopians, Nightmarens, and the others that live in the Night Dimension but we aren't really created from dreams. Sure a more powerful being probally created us at some point. And we might inhibit and manipulate a Visitor's initial dream, but we still aren't bound to a certain one.

[thermals]

[...this sounds pretty complex.]

< I guess I'll just take your word for it. >

[redideya]

[It's really not he's just hiding shit.]

What about you, how exactly does a bird do a mind-speaky thing?

[thermals]

[You're not the only one, there.]

< It's complicated. But trust me, I'm...not really common, even back home. I don't come from any unusual place, though. Just plain old earth. >
