[A young boy appears on the screen! He's sitting on... maybe the roof of a house? You can see the tops of buildings in Gaze behind him. But that's not important. What's important is what he has to say-]

How do you throw a great human birthday party? Not just the stuff with cake, gifts and people, I'm already know about all of that basic stuff. The extra things that make it a really good party. The kind that creates important memories that you can look back on and feel those pleasant feelings again.

[For some reason, this matters, apparently.]

Anyway, the first of the month was Paul's birthday. [No need to elaborate on that one. If you know, you know.] So we're going to do something next month, on the first, instead. It's a surprise, so don't tell him. You know he'd say something like "that's not necessary, it's just my birthday and it will interrupt me sitting in the dark and contemplating my terrible purpose so I'm busy and also no one can use the shower for the next hour".

So it's up to me and the rest of you to make it a good one that he likes. If you're Paul's friend or lived at the beach camp, gimme ideas and then show up and bring a gift. He needs something to strain rice with so he stops using his hands.

((ooc; a log for the party will go up next week(ish) this weekend! If you have CR with Paul you are invited, no reply necessary.))

I am Kaworu Nagisa.

Oh good! I've come to the right people!

I found two notes recently while I was in meditation. I wasn't sure what they meant, but they were pretty important, and then I found another note directing me to find you and Paul, and that help was needed.

Do you have any idea what that's all about?

[There's an instant flip in his demeanor. His face darkens and locks the thread quickly.]

They're messages from someone who needs our help. The Old Man, a shrike, who doesn't give his real name. Those notes are going to help us get him out.

I'll give you what I have.

How are you going to help them?

[peripheries]

I don't know yet. But the notes have information about how we can help him escape. That's why it's so important we find them all.

[imaglyphwitch]

And I'm guessing we have no idea how many there are.

I can try flying around Trench, see how many I can spot. It's still going to taek some time and we might miss some, but at least it's something, right?

[peripheries]

No. I've already found some but I don't know how many there are. Even if we don't find them all... the more we have the more we can do. So... yes, it's something.

[imaglyphwitch]

Ok then. I'll try to see what I can find!

Hopefully it won't take too long.

[peripheries]

...

I.

Thank you.

I didn't get to help with the Leviathan thing, and now several of my friends are in distress.

So maybe I can lend a hand here. Who are we helping?
