October Aftermath: Crystal Clear

Who: All!
What: You're back, for better or worse. Time to recover.
When: Backdated to the 24th and beyond.
Where: The Monkey Compound, Islets, etc.
Warnings: Mark as you go.


No matter where you are on the morning of the 24th, things will very abruptly go dark.

Unless you're dead. In which case, things are already dark. And you do not see this.

For the rest of you, however, the Storyteller appears only briefly. Gone is their seemingly indifferent nature; as the rabbit hops too and throe, the pages of their tome flick back and forth in an erratic pattern, stopping on a blank page for only a moment, before continuing on. Despite the pages always turning in the one direction, there seems to be no end to them, not at all.

"I'll keep this brief, for the moment. All of you have now been removed from the caverns below," A haggard sigh- and a reluctant addition. "Those of you still alive.

"Your efforts have allowed me access to what lies below. I have sealed off the entrances- from now, the responsibility of cleaning up the mess is upon me."

And that appears to be it. Darkness returns, along with the sensation of lying upon the sand. Birds call out from the jungle, joining the rhythmic shift of the waves. No matter where you were on the island; underground, or above, you awaken upon the shoreline near the Storyteller's temple, along with the rest of the survivors.



"For what it is worth, I am truly sorry."

They didn't elaborate much, I'm afraid. Given what we heard them say when we were taken out of the caverns, I suspect it might not be an immediate revival- although how long we'll have to wait, I couldn't say.

[She looks thoughtful, focusing on practical matters to avoid the emotional ones.]

It might be wise for us to check back here regularly, just in case. Keep a... vigil, of sorts. Somewhat appropriate, under the circumstances.
demonpuppy: but where is the respect for the problem creators such as myself (problem solving skills are well regarded)

...okay. I...I can do it.

[They can handle the dark, always could. They never had trouble seeing, and they can run back to get people if the dead do start to reappear. ...what would that even look like? Would Chip see it, or is it one of those magics you can't be looking at for it to work?]

[She nods solemnly, not trying to tell them they can't do it. Muffet can understand the need to do something, to have some task or piece of useful work to focus on in order to keep yourself from getting dragged down.]

You won't be doing so alone, either- I plan to keep an eye out, myself, and I'm sure many of the others have people they want to watch for.
