[Trahearne is sitting in a chair, holding in his lap the splintered remains of a broken sword. It's not made of metal, but rather out of vines and wood, and though it's large it appears at one point to have been much bigger.]

This is what we recovered last month. This is Caladbolg, a thorn taken from the Pale Tree and given to her first champion before being passed on to me. This sword has been my companion for quite some time, before... before it was broken. Though Caladbolg is a living thing, its power has been greatly diminished. I believe the effects we saw when we recovered it was the result of the last spark of magic it had left.

[Then, Trahearne reaches forward and picks up a small object from just off-screen. What he shows to the camera is a piece of wood that matches Caladbolg exactly, but the patterns of growth on it are a much healthier shade of green.]

I found this on the roof. I have no explanation for how it got there, but this is a piece of Caladbolg. If enough pieces have found their way here, there's still some hope left of restoring the sword to its original state - reforging it, if you will. Caladbolg was powerful, once, but even if it can't be completely restored... I feel that I owe at least that much to an old friend.

If anyone finds more pieces like this, even if you're not sure if it's from Caladbolg, please bring them to me. This is more important to me than mere words can express.

(OOC: This kicks off the second part of the Caladbolg plot, open to everyone that signs up for it here!)

[ A scan of one of the missing posters posted around Aifaran appears on the network early in September. It looks to be a filled-in template, with a rather unflattering drawing of the said missing Dreamfolk. ]

[ Call it intuition, but after seeing and responding to Pepper's post, dread settles in the pit of Ilda's stomach and she goes off to look for Yato. She's been told that their stay in this realm isn't permanent, and she's actually had a few friends disappear in the past — Lobco, Tony, Eiji — but Yato's a different case entirely. Best friend in Aifaran aside, he's a god, and gods can fade out of existence if nobody believes in them...

She spends hours searching the city for him. She texts him, calls him; she even goes to to the beach, to the spot where they first met, a heap of copper rhinn in her hands, screaming that she has wishes for him to grant.

When he still doesn't turn up, she resorts to a public video broadcast. She looks exhausted, but it's the worry in her eyes that's alarming. ]

H-Has anyone seen Yato?

[ ooc: Worry not, Yato's just in the Dreaming! But, as someone from the Far Shore, interactions with Yato tend to fade from memory... it’s up to the player, but the characters may or may not remember him. Please refer to this post by Li for more info. ]

[The room is mostly dark, but there's enough light to see that Valdis is sketching and almost not even paying attention to the camera.]

Ban Om. Kaka'i. The Sabonile. Tariku. Tifaut. Tia-Cheal.

[The six major religions in Aifaran had recently drawn her attention, but for less than ideal reasons.]

Organized religion is usually something to be wary of on some level, and while these may operate in the light of day, what of the ones that don't? Any summoning of powers based in the sensation of death, on harnessing the final moments of life, in consuming the moment the soul breaks...this is dark magic. Dangerous magic.

[She makes a few notes then goes back to whatever she is drawing.]

With the current state of Konryu, meaning the collisions between the planes, it is prudent to wonder about the darker side of things. There's an underworld to every religion. Parts that break away to interpret texts differently. Pieces that twist and morph and remake themselves. It is not exactly hard to think that at least one of these six has potential for darkness.

[She flips the book around to show the details of her sketch. Faceless figures wrapped in shadow, all surrounding a bound animal. But the animal isn't alive, its skin and fur are rotting off, leaving a half covered skull with gaping, empty eyes. To those who explored the depth of the Narrakra, they may recognize the animal to some extent.]

I just want to know which one.

[ Yato looks positively ecstatic when the video turns on, practically vibrating in his seat, and he's holding up a weird little thing, made of twisted bits of fishing net, a broken lure, some seaweed strands, a cracked shell, and some other assorted marine bits. In other words, it looks exactly like something you'd reel in off a snag on your hook (and normally throw away), except someone's tied a bow of old twine on it. ]

I've finally got it! My perfect solution to making more of an impact in Aifaran! This is an Erol'an good luck charm!

[ He caresses it fondly, like its presence is a dream come true! ]

An Erol'an mystic woman sold it to me when I was down on the docks doing a job! She said she sensed a strong, positive aura from me, and this would help me focus it, all I have to do is keep it with me at all times.

It's going to work, I can just feel it!

[There are books and papers all over the table, clearly Valds has been doing some research on what they've seen in the visions. She doesn't look tired, though she certainly feels it. Just because she didn't need to sleep, didn't mean it isn't better for her than drawing on soul energy. She's spent days just going over everything she could find, cross referencing every mention, careful to avoid certain parties who might demand she take some breaks every now and then]

I've been combing over the histories and legends for information on what I've seen. The shadows and monster I saw aren't in any of them, thought mentions exist in incidents related to the Dreaming. There's at least one mention of a dark pyramid, but I'm not well versed enough to really figure out what it means.

[Not mentioned: The involvement of the Death Plane]

There's several references to scientific papers by people at the Aisling Tower, and I've found a few of the texts that might prove helpful but haven't gone over them in depth yet. I could use some help if anyone has time.

[Hopefully someone does, she would really like to feel as if she were actually getting somewhere.]

I've also had another vision. Nerrin again, except he's older than before. There's also some kind of beast...I think. He was examining claw marks in their temporary shelter.

Hell of a way to welcome someone.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's been seeing things, either.

[When Eiji speaks, he sounds breathless and worried.]

Hey. So, did anyone else have a second dream?

[For the better part of the day, Chase has been running around trying to find craters or sinkholes, or anything that would look like the area he saw in his dream. So far, no luck. And so—]

A hole in the ground. Has anyone seen one?

...Or a vehicle that I can borrow?

[The post is timestamped from mid-morning, and because it's a text post, easy to miss.]

We have all had a restless night. It's clear from the conversations I have overheard that these visions are widespread, and further, that they are all about a strange event concerning a ship from several months ago.

I was not in Aifaran at the time of the ship disaster, but even a newcomer such as myself can tell that this is a source of distress for many of us. This distress can easily become chaos and panic, and worse.

What I lack in knowledge I hope to make up for in service: I propose that we collect brief accounts of all the visions and dreams experienced thus far so they can be easily referenced and analyzed by those adequately informed.

If you would all leave me a brief description of your dream, I will put them in some kind of order and make them accessible to the public.

( In the interest of fairness, I'll start. )

[Valdis woke in a panic, to emotions not her own and she wondered briefly if this was what X had felt once the shock had worn off. But she didn't make any moves until she was sure of herself again, taking time to pick apart the dream and remove herself from it.

That hadn't been easy. The turmoil of the crew, the black, oily shadows that twisted with their own life. Far too reminiscent of darker things. Had some creature from the Death Plane managed to reach through a breach? And if so, was this some kind of warning? As someone who could not dream without some power at work, she had long since stopped discounting them.

It was still dark outside when she turned on her video stream.]

Has anyone else had strange visions tonight?

[Her voice is steady, more certain than she feels, but Valdis refuses to allow dread to overwhelm her.]

I tried to sketch what I remember, but it's more the feeling of it that I can grasp. A sense of fear and...a black, oiled shadow that seems to move on its own.

[It was that oily shadow that bothered her the most.]

And a name...Nerrin.

[ Minutes ago, there had been a scream as Ilda jolted awake. And in the dark of the night she'd panicked, the sight of the not-quite-familiar room making her think that she was still in the jungle, with the inky mass of... something trailing menacingly right behind her.

She'd stumbled out of bed and out of the room, her new roommates momentarily forgotten.

When she'd finally sent out a message, she was up on the roof, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. ]

H-Help.

[A ponderous, quiet sound of crystal tinkling against crystal comes through the feed for a moment or two before someone takes over. It's a deep, androgynous voice, calm and somewhat light, as if with no concerns to speak of.]

I think that display earlier in the month taught us all a little bit more about these "talents" we grasp in coming to this world, huh? But I wonder if anyone knows even more than that yet. Do you think Dreamfolk past have written about this for us?

A strange thing happened recently, too. I felt as if I'd been leaving aside this so-called talent of mine, almost...but in my absence from it, it seems to have become ten times as powerful. It seems like even a neglected talent can flower unexpectedly.

Now I'm wondering whether all the people training so hard earlier this month know that as well. [There's a slight, rolling laugh before the message ends, with another shimmering sound like falling ice.]

[A bright, green eye fills the screen for a moment before a young woman pulls back from the lens. She looks a several meals and a few nights sleep short of healthy, and she's decidedly disheveled. Her grey clothes, stained with soot look rather old fashioned as well.]

----this how it works? Ah, quite. I see the little light.

How remarkable - and no smelly chemicals? ...Papa would have been over the moon about this.

[There is a slight hint of regret or sadness in her tone at this, but she seems to settle, and the view from the camera steadies. She at least seems somewhat familiar with the concept of photography.]

The nice... ...er...

[She glances to the side of her at the Kin'nal who helped her, but he's already wandered off, clearly done with her many, many questions. She carries on, regardless.]

The nice lizard said that this is the best way to speak with other Dreamfolk. Isn't that a peculiar thing? We are Dreamfolk, but this isn't a dream. Or so he says. How would you even test if something's a dream or not if you're in the dream - a pinch would hardly do - you could just be dreaming the pain like anything else.

...The cat hasn't shown up with any of his cryptic nonsense though, so suppose there's that to be thankful for.

I find it hard to imagine there are people on the other side of this camera, but that is what I was told. It sounds like a rather elaborate ruse, but I am a Dreamfolk outside of a dream - perhaps common sense is also hung out to dry.

...Meeting others has... never really been my forte, but it couldn't hurt to try.

My name is Alice. Alice Liddell.
