[ oh! he will read it, scanning the page. ]

... Where did this come from?

[ballies]

When the prinnies brought the newspaper this morning, a piece of paper fell out. I took a photo of it, it's easier to get the word around like this.

[ ... ]

You've heard the talk about the newspaper building, right? That people think there's something significant there? Wherever it is.

[inquired]

Ah.

[ okay, that makes sense.

he nods, hand immediately coming to his chin, looking thoughtful. ]

Yes, I've heard of it. Much like our Addy letters seem to be coming from the spirits of the dearly departed, mm?

[ballies]

Right. The wording from Addy's been changing over the weeks, hasn't it? More of it's been redacted week by week too.

[inquired]

So, it seems our dead are the scriveners, after all. How unfortunate: journalism is hell.

[ lol ]

All kidding aside, I'm quite glad for it. I cannot say I am hopeful until we succeed in this business with the red moon, but to know there is a path is heartening.

[ballies]

I mean, you're not wrong...

Sure. Like anything, there's a chance we might absolutely ruin it. But there's a chance and that's better than nothing.

[inquired]

A light in the darkness, mm?

[ sacred flame, guide you, etc. ] Something to strive towards.

[ballies]

A little hope doesn't hurt.

[inquired]

How about you handle the hope, and I'll handle the doubt? I think that might suit us nicely.

[ballies]

Sure, I already have a few ideas to get as many prinnies into the moonlight as possible when the time comes, so you’ve got some catching up to do.

[inquired]

[ pffft. ]

And I'll continue to do my research on if this is even vaguely plausible.

My question is this. If it is, does this mean we'll see our dearly departed not as people, but as penguins?

[ballies]

It sounds like they'll be prinnies in this situation, doesn't it? No idea if they are now, but--

[ ... ]

The fact it specifies them not being "reborn" specifically as a new person, and needing to be in the moonlight makes it sound like we need to change them back.

[inquired]

[ it is. an extremely funny thought. he's thinking about an ace penguin. will it have abs... ]

I'm sure there's a spell for that. [ thoughtfully... ] We will have to see.

[ballies]

[ if the ace penguin doesn’t have abs we riot at dawn. ]

Like a shape shifting kind of thing?
