It would appear that I've been affected by whatever's going on. My robes have vanished (as has my beard, I know), and my lightsaber is of a completely different design. And my finer control of the Force appears to be non-existant at the moment

[Everyone is sent a link to this - it's web page style, more static than the regular network posts]

In the village of Privkat, before the dark times, the elders would teach the young people about magic. They learned how to shape it, and how to use it. By the time I arrived there, the practice had stopped. The magic we learnt was in secret, and was limited, and then there was none at all. I missed this part of learning. I see that there are many here with many types of magic.

This is what I propose. Once every seven days, on your Sunday for felicity, at [big open space on the station] we will gather and at least one among our number will tell the others about their magic. We will sit in a great circle and listen, as we would in Privkat.

Who is willing to take a turn? You do not have to be an elder, and it does not matter if nobody else here has the same talents that you do. You can demonstrate something practical and teach it to others who can learn, or you can tell us about the origins of your magic and how it works, or tell us about the history of your people and what magic has meant to them.

Everyone is welcome to join us and to listen, so long as they are respectful of others.

If you would like to speak more than once, and teach us different things, you can. If you would like a regular time to teach, you can have that. If you are interested, please tell me your name and each topic you would like to share with us, and I will organise the meetings accordingly.

I apologise for the delay in posting, but as you can surely imagine, it has been a difficult time. However, I did want to offer an introduction to the world you will find through the door.

A few words of caution first.

Ladies, please do not go without an escort, or a weapon that you are not afraid to use.

There are many pickpockets about, so be wary and do not flaunt any wealth unless you seek trouble.

We are in the midst of a cholera epidemic. I believe there is now a vaccine, and effective treatment available. I will leave the medical staff to advise on this point, but do not drink the water through the door. It is contaminated. (Can we do anything about this without changing the course of history? Educate?)

I have spoken to a number of you about formulating a plan to help the people of Paris following the recent uprising, and I also want to offer my sincere thanks to those of you who have already offered, or are actively helping.

The building you first enter was a stronghold of the Revolution, and it is important that it is rebuilt as a symbol of resistance. The blood has been cleaned, and some volunteers are working on clearing the rubble. We need to replace the ceiling of the first floor. I would like to hire some locals to help with this, and pay them accordingly for their labour. Offering honest work is better than charity. Anyone willing to act as site foreman for this? I am happy to act as translator if it is the only issue.

When the people rise again, and they will, they will need better weapons. We cannot give them anything not yet invented, but we can help stockpile weapons and ammunition of the time that the common man cannot necessarily afford. They will also need field medical kits.

Hungry people have no fight in them. When we can reopen the Musain, can we find a way to feed people without it becoming a riot? I'm open to suggestions. On all these points.

I will be staying in Paris, but I will remain in contact. I can also find apartments for anyone else who wishes to stay.

Keeping Busy

Hi everyone,

In order to keep my mind active I've picked up a few different things but variety is key;
Katherine mentioned that she gave flight lessons using some of the SVs in the hanger. I've found a few that look similar enough to share some tips on.

In addition, I was wondering if some of the station residents who had been here for a while would mind meeting up for a quick chat? I've got some questions about a few things.
Specifically why are we here? Why did we get taken off to the island and split up with different people? Who is this girl?

Just to name a few. I'm not angry, I'm just looking for some answers to stave off the crazy.

Cheers

Annie.

It is said that this is where one might introduce themselves, and upon encouragement from Sir Artorias, I have decided to partake in this tradition. So greetings to you, I am the Lord's Blade Ciaran, and Knight of Gwyn, newly arrived from Oolacile. I am grateful to be here amongst the stars, and look forward to making your acquaintances in person.

Who do you hear through the door? Are they anonymous voices or people you knew?

I hear people that I have wronged, people I have hurt, people who have hurt me greatly. And yet, a lot of them are not dead. One of them could not be in this Hell, since they are one with the Force. A few of them would never speak to anyone in such a manner, never mind to myself.

And so I think perhaps that the voices are not who they seem to be. They are not the people we know. The voices would seem to be tricking us. I think ignoring them will not cause harm to the people we think they are.

I may be speaking out of turn. I may have misunderstood this Hell completely, and if so, then I apologise. Please, let me know so I can correct my assumptions. But hopefully, this may help some people to feel better about the door.

i am bored. despite all the excitement this is a dull place. so I propose a tournament. let us test our skills in duels of the sword. no supernatural abilities are allowed only skill. if you cannot fight without them and still wish to fight you can have a league of your own. Ww can hold two separate tournaments.

i would also like to thank my sister astrid who will so gracefully volunteer to provide the catering. she is not aware of this just yet. i would welcome suggestions for a price too. i have little things of value.

who is brave enough to answer my challenge.

I need to spend some unused energy, would anyone be interested in sparing?

[Private to Dan Foster]

I'm in the need of a ceremonial sword, preferably one that's well aged. Would you be able to help me?

We got a new door, people. It's going to Derry, Maine in summer, 1989 (it's August, but I dunno the date yet. I saw a calendar when I went through), and we have it until November 14.

It opens up into a library, so everyone's gonna have to be quiet when they go through. I got a glare from one of the librarians a couple minutes ago, so, yeah. Door! It's beside your bookshop/library, Bill.

I am going to go to Bad Things and drink brandy. Anyone who wishes to join me is more than welcome (as long as you are of legal drinking age for your planet).

I have been informed that it is "basic witch" season so I'm pulling out all of the pumpkin spice, apple, and maple things at the cafe. It's all first come first serve and will be a random assortment each day based on what I have time and ingredients for, but if you really want something let me know ahead of time and I'll try to make extra.

[Fake cut for fake menu:
Includes all sorts of fall flavored drinks, some savory breads, some sweet breads, lots of muffins and pastries, and some desserts. Most prominent flavors are pumpkin, maple, pecan, and zapapples]

Also looking for some counter help if anyone is interested? Once the snow shows up it tends to get a bit busier and I'd like some time to get you trained and comfortable with all the machinery. Could also teach some of the baking if anyone is interested. Was considering doing a few evening events with things like hot cider and mulled wine and live music or classes of some sort too, so would need a few extra hands.

I thought I had dreamt this place

Hello there, again. I am Obi-Wan Kenobi. I have vague memories of being here before as a Padawan, so I would apologise if any of you knew me when I was younger. I haven't been here for perhaps fifteen years or thereabouts, so it may take some time for me to remember everyone.

There are some real cool laser tag guns and vests on this station. It's time we had an epic battle. I think it'd be cool in one of the parks at night. Who's in? Jakes?

I think I've worked out how to fly each of the main types of ship I've found on this station.

By that I mean that I've checked out as many of the docking bays as I can get access to, and created an inventory of the flyable ships (a lot need repairs, while others are good for nothing but scrap, I'm afraid. Master Jake, I can show you where each of these scrap ships are, if you're interested). And then I picked the docking bay at [location on wheel three] and I've moved one of each ship to that docking bay. There are 28 unique types of ships there. There are actually more than that many unique types of ship on the station, but some seem to be bespoke ships or handmade. I've gone for those that seem to be mass produced.

I can show people how to fly them if they want? And provide the maps and listings from the docking bays to whoever wants them.

Camp-out!

It's summer and summer means camping because I said so, so I'm teaming up with Bucky, Mary Ellen, Stevie, Bruce, Neville, Dan and anyone else who might want to help out to throw an overnight camp-out in the big park on wheel 3 on Saturday night. If parents want a break at home or a chance to explore Atlanta, feel free to drop your kids off after dinner and we'll watch them for the night or if families want to camp together you can come with them. Or if you don't have kids and want to camp out you can come too. All are welcome.

We'll have some games and a campfire with snacks and a magic tent for everyone to sleep in (you can thank Neville if you see him) or you can bring your own smaller tent if you're a family or are 12 or over and your guardians are okay with you staying on your own. There is a store at [location] in Atlanta that has all sorts or you could probably find something in the mall. Then we'll have some breakfast in the morning and everyone can come back to pick up the kidlets around 10 on Sunday morning.

If anyone wants to help out we can always use more hands, or if you have specific requests for games or food just let me know and we'll make it happen. See everyone on Saturday!
