Has anyone seen Kiwi? They didn't come home last night, and their name isn't on my contact list anymore. None of the priests have seen them at any of the temples, and they're not in jail.

They usually like to sing and dance in town to brighten people's day. If you haven't met them yet, they look like this.


[Attached is a video clip of Kiwi holding a Flareon's front paws and dancing around energetically with her, apparently trying to teach her to sing? She skitters around with them on her hind legs, making a good faith effort to attempt to mimic their sequences of notes with bright yips and slightly (if you're being generous for the sake of cute) musical howls, fluffy tail wagging furiously. Will isn't in the picture, since he's holding the camera, but it's easy to hear him laughing.


He's not laughing now. He doesn't trust himself to maintain his characteristic smile or tone, having to look at people or talk about this out loud. And if he's with Cor at the temple..... He doesn't want to trouble the older man with something like this, either. Cor has enough to worry about already. Perhaps that's most telling of all; Will almost never used text if he can help it. He always prefers video, or at least voice.

When Akira, Goro, and Kei had vanished, he'd been terrified, knowing they could be in danger from lingering spider monsters, trapped under rubble, sick, or hurt. But now..... None of that is an issue. There's nothing else that could be keeping Kiwi from coming home. This time, he's just..... Tired, and defeated, and more hopeless than he's felt in a long time.

This entire message is pointless, of course. There's no way anyone could have seen them. But Will doesn't think he could forgive himself if he just..... gave up on Kiwi without at least trying.]

Hi, Havenwell! Have you all taken a look at the events the temples are holding? They're all pretty fantastic! I'd highly recommend it, if you haven't yet.

It looks like the gifts they're giving out are all meant to be worn. So I was thinking! Why don't we have a little fashion show with them? Or if you'd prefer, a little fashion contest?

[Have a sly grin as he points dramatically at the camera.]

I'm challenging every single one of you to collect these gifts and make yourself the greatest outfit involving all of them that you can! I'll even throw in a prize for whoever the community thinks did the best job.

What do you think, everyone? How about a little competition at the end of the month, so everyone has enough time to put something together?

[The video doesn't start on Will's face this time. No, it turns on to show a matched set of two Xatu, rather than the one he's had for his entire stay in Havenwell. They both look quite comfortable; people Will regularly spends time with may have even already met this newcomer.]

Ainea found my other Xatu! Everyone, meet Vu!

[One of the Xatu ruffles her feathers a little and whistles a greeting, preening for the camera. Will turns the tablet to face him, beaming.]

Flying is one of my favorite things in the world! Hehehe, or should it be worlds, now? But now that both of them are here, I can share that with all of you and be up there to make sure you're safe while you do it. So, who wants flying lessons? If anyone is interested, just let me know or come drop by--I'll be waiting outside of Diacht's temple!

Action prompt: Special delivery! )

[Video]
[Once the reunion is out of the way, Will flips on the video feed to make a post, looking more genuinely, radiantly happy than just about anyone has seen him here.]

Hi, everyone! I've got a favor to ask--or maybe an offer to make? I guess it depends on how you look at it!

Another member of my team arrived today! This is Reve.

[The camera pans over to show a Hypno sitting on the couch, polishing an already glittering pendulum. She looks up at the introduction, raising a hand in a silent greeting.]

Reve is a Hypno. Hypno are technically omnivores, but primarily psychovores--they mainly eat products of other creatures' minds. In this case, it's dreams. Where I'm from, I can normally easily keep her fed just by battling, since that's my job. That's not an option in Havenwell, though.

So my proposal is this: if you have nightmares you want to be rid of, or even if you just need help getting to sleep and want to keep your dreams, please let me know! You can contact me privately too, if you'd rather not speak up where everyone can see. There's no need to pay, of course--you're already giving us something, after all.

[The city is still in a state of disarray, though the fighting is over. Everyone will surely need to pitch in for some extensive repair work to make Havenwell what it once was. Will is sitting on a somewhat mangled chair on a cafe's patio, disheveled and powdered with stone dust, looking more exhausted and discouraged than most people here have ever seen him--unless, of course, they happened to help him endure the agony of the battle's psychic backlash.

He's doing his best to smile regardless, and holds up a slightly rumpled piece of paper to show the camera; on it are some surprisingly good line art head shots of Akira, Akechi, and Kei done in pen. They may not be exactly artistic, but they're at least faithful to their subject matter; he's even helpfully tagged each with hair and eye colors, since he could only work in monochrome.]


Has anyone seen these three recently? My roommates all vanished during the fighting. I figured they must have had their hands full, and maybe they got hurt and needed to stay with someone, but.....

They aren't answering their tablets, and they're not at any of the temples. I've been searching around town, but I haven't found them yet, and Arche can't pick up any scent trails, either. I'm starting to think maybe they got sick, and..... got worse.

[Anyone who's seen or experienced the strange illness that can grip the newcomers may understand what he's talking about, and why he's so worried--people fading out of existence entirely is a frightening prospect. His voice is quieter now, as he reaches out to end the recording and submit it to the network.]

.....I'm not sure I want to stay in my house anymore.

[Sometime relatively early in the squeaking problem, once it starts getting hard to sleep, Will finally makes his presence known on the network. He's still laying in bed as he flips the video on, hair a fluffy mess but mask firmly in place; the bedhead isn't helped in the slightest by the Flareon cuddled up against his chest, who seems quite intent on sleepily grooming him.]

Hi, everyone! I'm sure my household isn't the only one with a Rattata problem lately. Don't you all think they're getting louder at night?

Anyway, I noticed something! It actually seems quieter when I'm not trying to sleep alone--it's almost like they're avoiding my room when I've got a napping buddy?

[The camera pans as he turns it away from himself and the Flareon. Now, it's showing a Chansey curled up in a blanket nest; a Xatu is brooding over her like a mother bird, head tucked under her wing.]

I don't know, it could be just my imagination. But why not test it out and share our results here, if it's going to be hard to sleep anyway? If anyone wants to try sleeping together, with me or your roommate or whoever else you want, let's hear if you start feeling better!

[It's not even an innuendo. Unless you want it to be, of course. Shocking, right? He's just going to offer his services as a bedwarmer if people want them. For Science!11 Also for Cuddles.]
