Manabu Yuuki here.
You might've heard it already from some of the others, but we've got a new lantern out there. out past the borders of the city I mean
I'll attach some photos so you can visualize, but it's important to know that it's not even close to safe as it is right now...even incense only slightly staggers beasts out there, and they're relentless even in daylight
What I'm saying is: don't go out there alone, and don't go out there expecting anything but danger
There's still a long way to go, and more people can go out there and strike out further, lay out some more points...but it won't be easy

In the meanwhile I have some houses to check for missing people...though i might need some help afterward if it turns out some of those people DID go back there to keep going forward
Thanks again to everyone who went out there...we only got that far because of how strong everyone was

What do you mean by "missing", though? Who's gone? What kind of help do you need?
spiritwalks: (Don't you know you got my eyes)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-25 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
When did you see Mako & Wu last?
spiritwalks: (And maybe you're just a little bit...)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-25 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you try calling?
spiritwalks: (And maybe you're just a little bit dappy)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-25 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe they're caught up in each other. You know how newlyweds can be
spiritwalks: (You'll be happy all the time)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-25 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
it's been like

four months
spiritwalks: (You'll be happy all the time)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-26 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't be so sure. For some people, a fourth-month anniversary is a great excuse to fournicate

but anyway, I'm supposed to drop by the Raccoon Room this evening. Want me to ask around?
spiritwalks: (And maybe you're just a little bit...)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-26 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll let you know then




also

Are you still living with your boyfriend?
spiritwalks: (You'll be happy all the time)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-26 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH MANABU. Bless your heart.]

Just wondering. It'll be good to see you around the house again
spiritwalks: (Feel your mother at your side)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-06-29 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. You're our friend
spiritwalks: (Don't you know you got my eyes)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-07-01 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
What are you sorry for?
spiritwalks: (Free to run)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2022-07-05 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Classic Manabu...]

Well, still look forward to seeing you again ;)

Gonna go check on Wu and Mako. I'll let you know what I find

Phenomenal news!

You've managed to get out there and return to us safely, and even better? One of you had the foresight to save their lantern just for this. With time protections can be built in this place. Wards. Walls. Bloodstones. Shielding of some variety.

I can't even imagine all of the potential in this right off the bat, but I'm ecstatic that you've managed to do what it is that you were so focused on. Even if it's just a first, baby step to the broader world, it's proof that we're not simply trapped in Trench.

... also. Yes. I received a message from Korra in my home. I believe she made arrangements, so I suspect she has returned to the ocean.

So, right now I haven't found many who are specifically good with building, but I believe that there are those among the architects who would relish the challenge. The ones I know are mostly weapons builders.

Unfortunately I did check her account. It was sent back as undeliverable. I do know she's going back to a world she loves, so I will hope for her in this.

It does not hurt to be absolutely certain, just in case. As you said, things can change, and sometimes something might be wrong with the device. If so, that would be a relief. I didn't want to lose her.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-03 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it. And in the meantime, we can plan hopefully to make use of the opportunity you've helped bring us. Thank you, Manabu, for taking that risk and for coming back safely.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-03 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
I intend to. Who exactly did you travel with?

And regardless, you played your part, and just helping to start things deserves thanks for valor.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-05 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I am patient. Whenever you get the chance, I will appreciate it. Hopefully you don't have anymore nasty surprises waiting for you. We've had quite enough.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-06 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Yes. That.

I am fine. We used some medicines to remove the last of the corruption with the salt lake's help. Thankfully there were those who could calm me and I did not have to be put down. To my knowledge and recollection, the damage was minimal. Mostly to my pride and fears. I've learned a little from the experience at least.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-09 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Manabu, I love your enthusiasm and your kindness, but I'm glad it was someone else who found me. I care about you, but only people who had gotten in very close over a few years seemed able to get through to me. You might have been hurt badly.

So, in the end. This worked out the way it needed to. And nobody got permanently hurt.


[Except Chara, but they rewound time and didn't tell anyone, lil cheater.]

Well, grotesquely?

The incident taught us a lot about what I appear like when corrupted. My friends know much better what to watch for, as do I. We might have been very fortunate in that regard.

By the way, if I ever start moaning too loud about how nobody listens to me, tell folks and get me treated. I apparently get a bit of a prophet's complex going.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-12 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, all of you actually listen to me. Even the ones who are being stubborn about it do listen and pay attention to my warnings. I know that very well deep down. That's why in some ways? The paranoia I exhibited was so out of the norm.

I'm told it is called a "Cassandra Complex," after a Prophetess in Earth mythologies who was cursed to never be believed, though her prophecies were always perfectly true.

[personal profile] onerthes 2022-07-14 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It will probably be "Nobody listens to me" but you get the idea either way. Thank you, Manabu.

[A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea has just occurred to Shen Yuan. One he hopes he never has to use, but...]

Thank you for your efforts.

Just to be clear, the lamp works the same way as the ones within city limits, correct?
