catch-all open log!

Who: Anyone and everyone!
Where: On the beach, and various other places throughout the hub island
When: Day 80, and the next couple days after
Open/Closed: open log for hub shenanigans!

[This evening, someone has placed an old, rusted-over camp stove on the beach near the coven's row of huts--anyone examining it in detail will see that it's not operational at the moment, but that could potentially be changed, couldn't it? If someone was handy with mechanical things . . . .

Next to it is a crate (which, from the weight of it is empty) and pinned to that crate is a sheet of paper with a map on it, something like a much cruder, black-and-white version of this:



with the following key:

1 - crags. Contain snakes which may be poisonous. Watch out.
2 - ocean, going about one mile out from the coast.
3 - lagoon. Contains thick reeds (could be woven or shaped into tools) and frogs (edibility uncertain).
4 - abandoned campsite.
5 - orchard. Currently, trees are diseased and bare. Plant healer needed.
6 - abandoned house. A family used to live here, from the looks of it. Still contains some useful supplies.

And there should be a 7 north of base camp with the notation "graveyard. Graves unused." but the player forgot and is too lazy to go back and fix it right now. Observant individuals will note that the map looks like a more detailed version of one hanging on the door to a certain coven member's cabin, one that has a note on the bottom: "Have information? Ask for Jay."

Other than that, it's a quiet night on the hub island. We've been here for a couple days; maybe you're getting restless? Want to check out that ocean, or lagoon, or even those crags? Maybe just go door-to-door in the beach huts? Maybe you're sick of shrimp and looking for other things to eat . . . hopefully someone's got a fire going tonight, and thought to kill a boar . . . .

What are you doing tonight?]

They're-- The circles are clocks! C'mon! It's a clock tower, remember??? And the bells are so they can ring when the train comes, because it's a clock tower on top of a station!

[ He grumbles. C'mon, what is it about this that's so hard to understand??? ]

It works for what it is and it makes Twilight Town unique. It's totally not weird.

haha best way to begin a friendship: criticizing clocktower designs.

Why would the bells be outside of the clock!? Everyone knows the bells should be inside to resound properly throughout! What would happen if a powerful storm decided to invade your town? Won't the bells fall off!?

[There are so many safety hazards about this now! Why would anyone leave projectiles to just hang out of a large tower!? A grumble of her own will be returned at his explanation over the weird looking circle being a clock.]

That can't be a clock! [Drawing a new arrow over the sand.] Isn't this suppose to be the blasted clock??

It doesn't storm! I told you, it's always a perfect afternoon. If it was dangerous they wouldn't have built it!!

[ IT'S SAFE OR THEY WOULDN'T LET CHILDREN EAT ICE CREAM UP THERE ]

They're both clocks! It's a clock tower, of course there's a lot of clocks! There's one over the station entrance, too!

Why do you need so many clocks for? Isn't the big one on top enough!?

[She's just. Not getting it. Then again, she has no idea what a train even is, even less a train station. What is it used for again?

Well, it doesn't matter! It was clear they weren't going to agree about the design. May as well let this one go. Hopefully.]


I hope you're right about the bells part. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt because of them.

[Kneeling over to get a good look at his drawing, she can't help realize.]

Your drawing isn't so bad. It reminds me of it. [Looking at him.] Good work at drawing better than a kid would.
