[ Hopefully everyone had fun on the Arco Lunar! The morning after the boat departs from the docks, a letter arrives to your mailbox: ]

Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi

[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]

Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]

( This is the ill-fated mass extinction memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

[There's a pained chuckle from the spirit against his shoulder, a struggle to breathe evenly as he leans into Owen's weight, letting the wizard support him as much as the Touken attempts to hold him up.]

That's more than enough.

...

It's 2205.

You are... or perhaps, you were... six hundred and twenty five years old.

You've nearly doubled your lifespan, and you remember none of the gaps.

This is temporary. You know it is. So does your new master. Your saniwa. Clad in robes, his face covered, an older human in voice and posture. Your body is a gift from his magic. A gift made of your history.

They need you. History as it stands will crumble without your help.

You promise him your service. Until war is over... you have autonomy. You have the chance to be. And your feelings, your body, the hundreds of years that weigh on your new mind... they keep you separate from your enemy, a never ending of wave of spirits like yourself who exist without the burden of a heart, ruthless and unforgiving.

...

Time won't stop for you. But at least, in this body, with feelings that weigh every memory that stitches you together like a paper doll... maybe the moments won't move so fast.

Maybe you'll find your forever... however long forever can last for something like you. Maybe there can be peace at the end of it.

Maybe you'll truly have one more shot to be useful.

You promised, after all.

The memory ends. Owen is Owen once more.]
