In light of recent events

[Pen. Taps.]

I do wish I was a bit more... well, useful, I suppose. In terms of the things that keep happening. Working takes up most of my time, though, and I apparently have a terrible track record as a guard of any kind Well, the factory takes up most of my time

A message in a bottle? How strange.

[tartancakes]

It was lodged in the paper machine. Which is rather strange, yes.

[felinemystique]

I've been hearing about quite a few residents receiving messages lately. I can't help but wonder what it all means.

[tartancakes]

The most obvious meanings I can think of are someone is trying to help us figure out why things happen they way they do, or someone is trying to make us trust them so they can... probably do something unspeakable.

I'd prefer the former.

[lemonshine]

I hear ya on the feeling useless feeling.

Ah, you're in the auction? Just remember, you're doing it for a good cause! And if you're lucky, you'll get to have a little fun too!

The library? It's not so easy to get to...

[tartancakes]

It's frustrating, isn't it?

One would hope it's fun, true. If it wasn't for charity I probably wouldn't have allowed my name to be put down. Er.

So I've heard. Have you ever been?

[lemonshine]

Quite a bit. I suppose we each have our own parts to play in the Sphere but it still sucks that we can't do anything to help out sometimes.

It'll be fun! Unless you go on a date with a total grouch then that might not be as fun.

I haven't been able to get there, no. Not for a lack of trying.

[tartancakes]

Indeed. I suppose the journal-making bit is rather important, but, well. I'd like to help out a bit more actively.

That is precisely what I am afraid will happen.

Mm. It would be interesting. To get there, I mean.

let the harassment begin! also icon revelant (her PB played Eve once)

[bubble_ditz]

Funny, letters coming in bottles sounds like a most strange delivery service. We have a factory here?

You don't just stand in a auction, Mr. East! You SHINE! Let your true self come out on stage to show all those lovely ladies that you are quite the catch! &hearts

oh god

[tartancakes]

It's where the journals are made.

I... What?

*stalks her prey*

[bubble_ditz]

I see. That sounds a bit dirty, but I suppose its very important. Good for you!

You simply must have a stage persona, Mr. East. What is most important in life is how others view you. Everything comes down to popularity after all! Its well and good to be smart, but if you hide behind brown cardigans and glasses, no one will ever see you!! Appearance is everything.

aaaaaa

[tartancakes]

It's not really dirty- well, sometimes there's ink spilled, but mostly it's clean.

What's wrong with cardigans I don't think I'm cut out for a "stage persona."

[prez_leg_cramp]

I got a second message in a bottle a day or so ago, not really sure what to do with it though. There isn't much of a clue, it's just a necklace and a picture of some mansion, I think.

What did yours say?

Feeling useless does suck... I feel like that sometimes too...

[tartancakes]

It says "Check books in, check books out~ Archives and history, go go GO!" There's also a picture of a building full of books. I suppose someone wants me to know there's a library here.

Are there mansions here?

Why so serious, Shumi? (XD)

[prez_leg_cramp]

Hm... that does sound like a library adventure to me. Definitely more specific than mine, though the first one I got had a lighthouse on it, but all I got was a Memory Crystal from that.

I don't know if there are mansions around here. The necklace is nice though, so I've been wearing it for now. Can't figure out the picture though...

Think the library, if you find it, will have any information on it?

seriousness is TOTALLY WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS what are they even

[tartancakes]

Memory crystals are helpful though, aren't they? Typically. I haven't gotten one.

Hm. Well this is a big place. There could be a mansion tucked away somewhere for all we know.

One would think a library would have information. But I think the track record of the Sphere will just make everything found in it more complicated.

WHY SO LATE, SCIENCE

[sauntersthrough]

A message?

/touches also guess who east just put up 800 coins for

[tartancakes]

In a bottle. You can look at it if you want.

c: oh east <3

[sauntersthrough]

I'd like to, yes.

there was a lot of tinytext he is so silly also quicklog y/n? nerds.

[tartancakes]

Go right ahead, then.
