[The video feed starts up and shows David behind the bay or at least the back of the bay.]

This isn't something that has been discussed in a while. For newer people, this might not seem strange. But for people that have been here a long time, that might remember this night being here.

[His device turns and shows the archway on the back of the bay. There are swirling lights there that form a barrier, making entry impossible.]

This hasn't always been there. I think it's been over a year. For any that have seen it, it's no surprise that it is locked. Its always been that way since it has appeared. So how do we unlock it?

Well, at first it wasn't obvious. There are little slots around it that can fit pendants. But it seems like it takes a special one, like this. [He holds up a key pendant.]

This pendant appeared in Nova City some time ago. It caused a blackout when it appeared inside of the power plant's generator. Power was only restored when it was removed. Now it looks a lot like the pendants we all wear. But when we put ours in the slots, nothing happens. But when we put this one in..

[He places the key in one of the slots and there is a noticeable change in the barrier barring entry. It's still completely there, but having the pendant in the slot obviously changed something.]

Something happens. I personally have two of the keys. One because I pulled it out of the generator and another because it was left to me. We will eventually have all of the keys assembled, which is 5. Unless there is a secret slot on this thing that hasn't been found. When the time comes, we will probably need to have a discussion on whether or not we should unlock this.

This could be the pathway to any number of things. Maybe it's an exit, maybe it's some sort of door way to hop to any of the cities. It could also be a way to let something in. The mystery about it makes it impossible to pinpoint what exactly will happen when it opens. I don't think there has been any locked place like this before in this world where we were slowly given the keys to.

Come what may, I personally think when the time comes it should be opened. At least we will discover something about this place that was previously locked off to us.

[That was it for that.]

On a different note. I'm going to be renting out a place close to the Bay and stocking it with winter clothes for anyone that might come in. We might have a rough winter if it dropping down to -2° F at the start of December is any indication.

So if anyone has clothes from last winter that they aren't going to be wearing, donations would be apprciated.

Good morning. I have something in mind that might interest you, so I'll make this brief. There is an event in the Dubai subarchway right now, a technology and cultural fair lasting for an entire year. I'm not sure if Troy had shown you this side of Dubai, so if you wish to see it, I'll gladly accompany you

[ In reality, it's Ayame who really wants to see Dubai again. Especially when she finds out this is a few years into her past, back to a time when she was still herself. Ayame couldn't do it on her own, so she feels having some company would help her cope with what she is about to dive into ]

Text - Public
[ Right after sending that text message, Ayame removes the filters and sends another message to the public, with the same topic of subarchways ]

Good morning, Genessia. I'd like to know which of you have subarchways leading to a place in your respective homeworlds. More importantly, if you would welcome visitors to them. I would just love to see new worlds and experience different things in my spare time here, so your answers would be appreciated.
 
 
Adela
A. Garden Park, Genessia City

[ Oh Nehra, she can't believe it!

It's so white out in the morning, and Adela can't help feeling excited because wow it looks beautiful! Freshly fallen snow on the ground, truly unlike anything she'd ever seen before! It doesn't take too long for her to (at least attempt to) dress up warmly and take Ash out to the park, whether she's escorted or not. Her leg's winter upgrade is done, so what's the harm?

A bit later in the day she's still in the park, all grins with her dog as she flops in the snow alongside him. His barking prompts her to laugh, and she boops his nose even as she's flushed and shivering from the cold. Whether she's there with her friends or only her dog at the moment, it's clear that she's having a grand time out in the weather for the time being. ]


B. Bright Sky Diner, Genessia City

[ There's nothing quite like hot food after playing in the snow.

Adela had to return home to make sure Ash was safe and warm there first, but now that she's at the diner she can't help feeling good. True, she's still flushed from how cold it is outside, even after being inside for quite some time, but her cheery demeanor probably outshines that by miles.

Of course, good food's best compliment is good company, but does she have someone with her initially or will someone walk up? Either way, she can't help feeling probably the best she has in a very long time. ]

Video/Action - Attleton

[Yeah, remember Jade? He's the resident mage and colonel. What happened to him? Well, he's still alive. He was just very busy. A month ago, he applied for new jobs, and he accepted one - an elementary school teacher position, full-time in Attleton. So more or less, he resigned from his cashier job at Trick and Treats, and quickly he finished much of his bounty hunting jobs in Fayren, the last one is being a Farmhand, helping a farmer outside of the city to help with harvesting their upcoming crops before the winter. He waited for his paychecks to arrive in the mail, and afterward, moved to Attleton.

There's a video of him wearing much warm layers for the cold winter season with much snow in the background and children having a snowball fight, but the background doesn't show Fayren's usual scenery, but rather a sub-urban town covered in snow and a playground meant for kids.]


Hello everyone, it's me, Colonel Jade. I keep forgetting to make updates on my life. I'm an elementary school teacher in Attleton. I can't believe I'm qualified for the position, but I've been told they're understaffed, so I accepted and went to work right away, and I moved from Fayren to live in Attleton.

I suppose I don't disliked teaching, it can be fun, but require a lot of patience. I hope most of you remember to have fun too.
