[network] @frfujimoto; answering the weird writing on the walls [8am on Day 64] [open]

[lionson]

[Shiro is from the magical land of 2009 and isn't that great with technology anyway, so he is not even going to attempt the video function. Nope, it's straight-up text. Someone's going to have to help him with the video function later.]

"ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, EDWARD ELRIC, GREED, DAY SIXTY-ONE, TRAVELLING WEST"

That is on the wall of the house I am in.
There is also the name 'lelric'.
Would they be the welcoming committee who can possibly explain why there is snow outside in April?
Because I would really like to know how that happened.

Actually it doesn't even have to be from them, some answers in general would be nice.

[Like how he is not dead after all the shit he just went through. Or where his sons are. Those are pretty high on his list of 'what the fuck is going on'.]

Why a list? Depending on how many people are here, a list would take up several pages.

A bar graph would be better. Or possibly just 12 columns with the months listed at top.

[circumsutus]

If you have paper, it would be of better use to you if you set it on fire.

[lionson]

Resources are that scarce, are they?

[Well lovely, freezing his nuts off is exactly what he wanted to do.]

[circumsutus]

Worse. You've been provided with some starting supplies, but don't expect to find anything else easily. Don't eat all your rations at once.

[lionson]

There go my plans for a feast.

[But ok it's time to get serious about it.]

Is everyone here working together as a large group, in terms of finding more supplies and sharing them? Or is it 'every man for himself'?

[circumsutus]

The current theory is that large groups attract unkillable monsters.

[lionson]

And there's research to back that up?

[circumsutus]

Not yet. I don't think anyone will volunteer to be test subjects.

[lionson]

Given how permanent of a volunteer someone would become, I am not surprised.

[circumsutus]

Preliminary reports indicate that death may not be a permanent state here.

[lionson]

[Okay, that he was not expecting.]

What.
Is magic involved somehow?

[He won't pretend to understand the intricate nature of certain kinds of magic, but he at least can understand that such a thing might possibly exist.]

[circumsutus]

I have no idea. I haven't died yet.

[lionson]

Do you know anyone who has?

[circumsutus]

Not personally. You should look through the past obituaries and any associated network posts to find people complaining about not being dead anymore.

[lionson]

You can't be serious.

Who would complain about being alive again?

[circumsutus]

Why don't you look through the recordings and see?
