Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Ask Clax if they know who is on the line.
Ask the stranger if they need help finding Hanaki.

GM NOTES:
Attention peeps! As of this post, we are now entering CHAT MODE. For the duration of the conversation, you can chat freely back and forth with any available characters. Updates will be small and frequent, and suggestions will be combined when possible. When your conversation is over, it will be compiled into Update 24. This is an experiment. If it goes terribly, whoops! Let's see how it works though, shall we?



Ask Clax if they know who is on the line.


Hey Clax?

Do you recognize this voice?



>Respond in the affirmative.
Even if it isn't- these people know what's up. We should acquire their help, even if we have to lie to do so.
We are pretty sure our name is just Hana, but yeah, Hanaki could be it,
because we don't know anything about anything right now.
Speaking of which, perhaps the person on the other end could help out with that?
"Hello, this might be Hanaki, but it's complicated right now.  Where are you?"


Yeah, err... this is Hanaki.

Who wants to know?

Lands and stars! I'm so glad you're okay!

Uh...

This is Octavo, of Ash Mill. Representing the Ashwood City Watch.
We caught wind of your... situation? Honestly, I was fearing the worst.
But let's not get into that, haha? I'm glad everything is fine.

Anyway... what brings you to this dusty old Shard, Hanaki?

To be honest, I don't really know?
I was kinda hoping you could help me out with that.

And... this might be Hanaki? I'm pretty sure my name's just Hana.
Though, it might be Maria too. I'm not totally sure anymore?

I don't really know anything about anything, right now.

O-oh?

Oh. Shit.

Huh? What's going on?

Everything okay over there?

Hanaki... I'm sorry, Hana?

This is... what I was afraid of. This is bad. Really bad.
Just... just try to stay calm, okay?

Err, oooookay? I'm... still feeling pretty calm.
Though what you said should probably make me nervous?

I mean, should I be doing something, or...

No, j-just stay on the line.

I'm... I'm here.

You're here.

Here to...?

I-I'm...

I'm here to rescue you!

Note to self: next time do not breathe in the amnesia powder while working in a mine.

Tell the person to spill the damn beans and stop being so ominous.

How to get out? Have we totally forgotten the way out that we awoke right next to?

CHAT TIME!

Suggestion [Hana]: "You don't sound like you want to be direct. Will it cause any more harm if you told me what had happened directly?"

Bzuh, just cuz it's a mine doesn't mean there's not another way out. Maybe there's a reason we came in here.

This. Intimidate them into spilling those precious, precious beans.

"Well, I woke up here not to long ago....well, it may have been a bit of a long time ago, I passed out from electrocution for I-don't-know how long. I don't really have much memory of what happened of what happened before I first woke up, save my general life. Anyway, the name 'Ashwood' seems significant somehow. Are there any notable crosses related to it?"

I've been waiting for basically anything to match up with this old thing:


Switching realities?  Yeah, sure.  But "foundling"?  And "evacuate the city," "but the city is our only way home"?  Making minor headway now that we've met a representative of the Ashwood City Watch.  Inasmuch as we have lots of wiggly threads with little resolution.

I'll just assume we've got a reality nexus with lots of amnesiacs stolen all over the place, a now-unavailable center of learning and hope for escape, and an unnamed hideous threat that has come to destroy all the vulnerable little people like us.

"Great!  I always wanted more incomprehensible half-help wrapped in mind games and riddles!  Up until now, I only had a headache and certain electrical burns to keep me occupied!  Why don't you keep on talking while I go get lost in this mystery cave?"

Request information and clarification from Octavo.
Confide our confusion to Clax.

You don't sound like you want to be direct.


You're planning to rescue me?

Rescue me from what, exactly?

From this Shard. This, uh... cave?

So, i-if you can just tell me where you are?
And just stay put there, until I find you?

I'll take care of this. I can do this.
J-just stay calm, and...

Look...

Unless you're being vague on purpose?
Would it kill you to just tell me what the heck is going on?

No! No, I'm... I don't want to be vague!
There's just so much going on. Too much for you to...

It's better that you don't know, in your condition.
I-it's too much for you! So please just stay calm!


Tell the person to spill the damn beans and stop being so ominous.
"Great! I always wanted more incomprehensible half-help wrapped in mind games and riddles!

Why don't you keep on talking while I go get lost in this mystery cave?"


Oh, it's too much for me, huh?

No. Listen up whoever-you-are, from the City Watch.
Last thing I need right now is more Ominous Mystery Garbage.
I'm... frankly I'm getting sick of it!

How about you stay put, calm down, and tell me where you are?
Sounds like you're a few seconds from having a breakdown.
You're obviously not emotionally prepared for this.

W-what?

I don't understand...

That's right. You don't understand! You don't know me at all.
And that's the thing, isn't it? Neither of us do!

But you know what I do know? In the last few hours?

I've been electrocuted half to death by some architecture.
Knocked out for who knows how long, in a dangerous place.
Got lost in total darkness, when a Magic Robot stole my flashlight.
Even listening to this Toaster-ass Radio just... made me puke?
My head is a damn mess! I mean, I can't even remember my name?
When I try to remember anything... anything! My thoughts just...
I don't even know what! They melt. They turn into fucking noise.

So yeah, buddy. Between all that, and a god-awful headache?
I don't exactly have the time, or the patience, for your crap too!

So you can go take your half-assed heroics, and stuff 'em somewhere.
And once you're done with that? Feel free to keep talking to yourself.

I'm going to go get lost in a fucking cave.

W-wait, please don't go!

It's dangerous! You're too Soulfrayed!
The... the first Eidolon you see will... will...

...

Hana? Are you still there?

...

Oh, lands... you really messed this one up, huh Tav.
