There isn't much fanfare in this posting, even with the official notice on the top. Actually, there's something almost stark in its simplicity. Just basic text and a blinking cursor on a black background, that slowly loads up into a full message:

Local and guest alike.

Several months ago the city experienced a disruption in the form of a transmission hacking of an official feed; as many of you reading this are aware. We have since been reviewing the data and running decryption on the hijacking's interference, and have come to a conclusion on a location of the signal.

It is outside of the city walls, which now makes it necessary for us to enlist the help of those called to the city.

Be advised that the person is an unknown factor, and likely to be dangerous. In addition, the environment outside is hazardous as well, and should be approached with caution. Because of this risk, volunteers will be rewarded for their efforts. They will also be the first on the scene with uncovering answers that we all doubtless wish to discover.

Representatives from their respective departments will be available to answer questions, and impart necessary information. Given the nature of this task, there may be additional requests granted. However, they are only requests. The first and major goal in this is gathering information.

Fare you well, and may the Twins guard you while afield.

(ooc: There will be NPCs willing to answer questions watching this entry. However, some NPC responses may be slow due to time differences.)

Yakie it is, then. [except on maybe formal occasions. And Tuesdays.]

So what do you make of this, Yakie?

[why is it always Tuesdays...]

Well, I'm not sure about the person who first left the message... but it's obvious they can't help themselves. [a beat] So this can either go badly, worse, or somehow great by sheer stupidity and luck.

[because of the energy left over from Monday. obviously.]

Yeah. That'd be nice but nothing I would've really expected in the first place. [quest givers don't do that. otherwise they'd actually be out doing shit.] So pretty much like any endeavour based on faith and not a whole lot of information. How're your luck stats looking?

[Clearly.]

Aside from one time...fairly decent. Though now that I've said it I likely have ruined my own personal chances.

You?

I hear touching wood helps. [who even knows how that works, though. sadly she can't see this shrug]

Well, the cat hasn't hocked up anything in the last half hour, I think I'm good. Or, you know, we can probably count on about ten minutes of things being okay before it all falls over.

Oh, good - my bow is wood. [Who knows if she's joking or not...]

T'would seem about right.

Good enough for government work. So you practice archery?

So we're all set on that front then. All we need now is the goods for when things inevitably go south.

I do, among other things. [Every girl has to have her hobbies.]

I'll stock up on potions, then.

[Speaking of hobbies... now she's missing her conjurer friend even more.]

Yeah? What kind of other things?

Sounds like a good plan. I'll see what I can get that looks handy. [man, now he's mildly jealous of people who got to have potions. Eh,

[deadpan.] Punching rocks.

Let me know if ye have need of 'em. Could always use a bit more practice with alchemy.

Hardcore. You ever get anything out of them?

Alc- wait, you make them yourself? [whoa. here have some respect points.]

Ore sometimes, and bloody knuckles were I to forget my hora.

[pause, because blinking.] It's... still rather difficult for me, but aye.

Yeah, not that hard to see who'd come out less scathed there. Still. You weren't kidding, huh?

And so the practice. Well… can't say I'd turn down the opportunity to help with something like that. Need me to bring anything?

Nay. [No kidding whatsoev- wait was he seriously offering to help with gathering items.]

Unless you know where to find Mistletoe this time of year... or Chanterelle mushrooms.

[don't expect anything for nothing, that's how it goes.

…uh. yeah there might be some problems with that.]

Mistletoe's one of the things that grows on other plants, right?
