NPC CONTACT

CROW

Occupation: unofficial leader of The Nest
Age: late 40s
Gemstone: "a pure black gemstone, highly polished and slightly tapered towards one end not unlike an egg" (first mentioned here)
Description: Crow has sandy blond hair and dark brown eyes, and can typically be found at home or around the train station. Reportedly, he holds a lot of influence over the town, and is a good person to talk to when troubled. While many npcs have been losing memories, Crow reportedly has not. He is the one who gave named npcs their bird names, as well as the one who named the town The Nest.

SWAN

Occupation: ferryman
Age: mid 30s
Description: Swan has dark brown hair and dark green eyes, and can typically be seen out in the water on a boat during good weather, or couch hopping during bad weather and at nights. Six silver coins are used as a passage fee and conduit for her to take a person across the water; according to Lark, those who leave with her never return.

ROBIN

Occupation: rail attendant
Age: early 30s
Gemstone: "fragile light blue shards encased in clear gem" (first mentioned here)
Description: Robin has black hair and light brown eyes, and can typically be found around the train station or cafes in town. She was married to Jay, the train conductor who was murdered early in the game, and has picked up enough from him to operate the train if we ever get it working again. While she has lost a considerable amount of her memories, she claims to be content living in the present. An unknown individual stole her uniform and faked her death via the train's furnace at the start of the game.

LARK

Occupation: postman
Age: mid 20s
Description: Lark has ashy hair and golden eyes, and can typically be seen around town with his mail bag doing deliveries, or hanging out in the graveyard talking to the dead underground. As a postman, Lark prides himself in knowing people and places, but has trouble speaking and reportedly cannot read aside from names he's learned to recognize. It is not widely known, but Lark is able to speak with and, to a certain extent, control the dead.

RAVEN (née HAMTARO)

Age: pre teen
Gemstone: "completely clear, like a diamond, aside from a tiny red spot in the center: a gemstone trapped within a gemstone" (first mentioned here)
Description: Raven has black hair and grey eyes, and can occasionally be seen wandering around town but is most reliably found at Poppy Hall after dark. Following the "sacrifice" of several characters, he awoke without any memories of his identity or past life, and was given the temporary name Hamtaro before learning his true name. His family is dead, and according to the note he had written on the back of a photograph discovered in a burning house, he had sworn to bring them back no matter what the cost. According to the townspeople npcs, according to Crow, a boy named Raven died in a house fire many years ago.

MAGPIE

Age: early teens
Gemstone: "blue and yellow, splotched like flowers run through a photoshop distort filter" (first mentioned here)
Description: Princess Stephanie Astrapia (aka Paradise Magpie, aka Magpie, aka Maggie) has sandy blond hair and golden eyes. While not related by blood, Crow and Maggie consider themselves father and daughter. An unknown individual has been using her name and reputation to communicate with the characters, and has stolen six silver coins.

SPARROW

Age: mid teens
Gemstone: "like a fire opal: bright yellow and red that dance like flames when turned" (first mentioned here)
Description: Sparrow has black hair and bright blue eyes, and is difficult to get ahold of; the most reliable way to meet her is to wait for her to come home, which she does some nights. She has an interest in the supernatural and the occult, and reportedly is the person who gave other npcs their gemstones. She is Maggie's best/only friend at the start of the game.

I'm not contagious.

[ maybe ♥️. he's covering his face, what more do you want. ]

[ Well.. to be honest, he would've been pretty suspect of any implement Lark pulled for this, considering the horrible communal blood jar he is about to - urp - contribute to. At the very least he would have insisted on sterilizing the implement with fire first.

...it takes a sec for the gears to turn in his head over how to do this. He, uh actually DID expect Lark to have something to do this with, you know, FOR SOME REASON. Kuja does not own any weapons. He has never owned any weapons. He will not ever own any weapons, if he has his way.

This wouldn't be a problem if everybody hadn't TAKEN ALL OF THE SPEARS, not that Kuja knows that.

Oh he does NOT want to have to leave and come back. He fishes in his pockets, eyes a little wide but playing it cool, playing it cool--

oh thank fuck he left a little travel sewing kit in one of his pockets. ]


One moment.

[ Sterilize the needle with a flick of flame, check (one more bit of magic gone that he won't be getting back until he actually gets some restful sleep, whoop dee do), swipe away the char left behind, check -- slip the needlepoint in between the ridges on a fingertip, squeeze gently toward the puncture to make it well up faster. Just a bit's enough. He uses more than this to make his Bloodstones. ]

..There.

[ and with a flick of his hand over the open top of the jar -- it's done.

.....so does
Lark just
leave the jar here,
unattended???? ]

[ damn. lark's got enough sense not to trust any of them like that. good for him. bad for kuja.

Much like with his packages, Kuja puzzles over his new toy like it's the first novelty he's gotten in an age. Rectangle shaped mirror that turns into something else when woken up, three buttons... something that looks a little like bead eye off of a stuffed animal set into its back and front... a couple of indents of unidentifiable purpose. Looked like nearly every other phone he'd seen someone with. ]


Always forgib how cold these things are.

[ install genshin, you'll solve that problem. ]

Is that.. something I tell you, or tell it to the phonb? [ did lark have to sit there and listen to the words AMAGIBIGDICK69 in person. ]
