LUNAR INTERLUDE 5: VIDEO; TAZ SPOILERS?

[journalkeeper]

Hello? This device seems to be for, uh, communication -- so it seemed like it would be best to reach out, uh, on it. I need your help.

[ Lucretia isn't immediately recognizable, unless you know her very well. Her face is less lined, her voice lacks a certain amount of her gravitas, her hair is a bit more blonde than it is stark white, and she's more emotional, more expressive. That, and she looks about thirty years younger, in her early twenties. Luckily, though, she's ready to introduce yourself. ]

My name is Lucretia. I need anybody on this to listen to me, even if it's kinda weird. This is... This is really fucking important.

Has anyone seen a light fall from the sky? Or has anyone heard about a strange light that, or, uh, anything that suddenly turned up that's very powerful?

I don't know if the others are already looking for it, I think we must have gotten separated - but just in case I'm the last one left, I need to find it. I need to find it before the Hunger gets here. Please.

You're not giving us a lot to go on. Any other signs we should look out for? Just what is the Hunger?

[journalkeeper]

It's a glowing ball of light we call the Light of Creation -- it's... well, it's unmistakable. You see it and you know it's powerful, even if you don't understand it. People are often drawn to it. Including the Hunger, which isn't, uh, really a person as much as it is a collection of entities that consume worlds. If the Hunger gets the Light of Creation, that's -- that's the ballgame. This world won't survive. It's so important that we find it first.

[surgit]

Oh. [ Still pretty ominous, but not what he expected. It almost sounded like she was talking about the Starscourge, but the Hunger's an actual entity, not some kind of an affliction turning people into daemons. ]

And you're looking for it on this world? Not something you were tracking down before you got here?

[journalkeeper]

Oh, uh, yes and... yes. We're -- well, I'm looking for it on this world and I've helped track it down before I got here. It's kind of complicated, and the details aren't important, I just hope you believe me.

[surgit]

It's not that I don't believe you, but are you sure it's here? That kind of stuff doesn't usually follows us. [ Except when it does! ]

It might help to check Bwitter. If someone saw something like that, I'm sure you'd hear about it there, if everyone isn't too busy with this age thing.

[journalkeeper]

It's possible it's not here yet. It usually arrives a few days after we do.

[ She sort of skims past the implication that other stuff follows people - though it's a very odd comment. ]

"Bwitter"? What's Bwitter?

[surgit]

It's a local social media platform. I haven't been around long, but from what I can tell, it's the major one people use on this world. Better for keeping track of what's happening with people who aren't just imPorts like us.

[journalkeeper]

A... social media platform? Like... the communication on this device, but for everyone? That's so interesting. That is really helpful information, thank you.

[surgit]

Yeah! Or at least for the people who use it, of course. Bwitter's not completely like what we had back in Lucis, but they all tend to be pretty easy to pick up. I guess that's kind of the point.

[journalkeeper]

What did you have in... Lucis? Is that another place in this world?
