[Gokudera is sitting on the back of... some strange animal in what appears to be the middle of the ocean. There's not much around, and he's traveling, so this post is mostly just for killing time, and he likes to discuss things. Possibly conspiracy theories???
He still has his collar on, in case anyone cares or was wondering.]

So the King has an emergency broadcast system.

But we don't have a... Avalon news network.

I can help gather information, but I was wondering who wants to help with that. It's definitely not a one-man job. So that ways people in Camelot can see how things are going in other areas. Or... how the progress is going on restoring what we can of those places?

Not everyone is going to be making trips back and forth all the time, I get it, but is anyone interested in setting up in either place and communicating what the progress is like?

We've got the questboard, which is cool and all, but what about something to inform people new here about seasonal rituals? Maybe ones that aren't so native to New Camelot?

[He sighs, and smoke drifts out of his mouth. There's no cigarette or anything, and the air isn't cold enough for that to make sense. He's just... exhaling smoke.]

The candles were nice... I liked that.

Mn, Tenth. I'll be back whenever I can. I'm going to look into this whole "River of Lost Souls" thing. Can you look after Uri while I'm gone? If not, just let him loose on the training grounds. There's food for him in the kitchen.

This sounds like a good idea. I agree with the idea of gathering information about the seasonal rituals and Avalon news and putting them in one place. That way, any newcomer can get updated on the culture and customs of this world.

Also I am supporting for updating on the restoration progress as well.

[That's comforting. He spent too long reading Shigaraki's post and it was making him itchy. Amazing how people are civil when you come at them without calling everyone idiots and acting condescending.]

Maybe a newsletter would be best? Weekly or Biweekly?

A newsletter does sound like a good choice. Perhaps we can release it every week so everyone can get updated of what is going on around Avalon.

Right.

And when the newbies show up and are dumped off in the Bay, we can have them write their name or something, and hand them one. Then we can help off-worlders connect and stay informed so they don't have to make the trip out there only to find out their long lost twin sister isn't showing up this month.

Also, when I say we, I don't mean myself. I don't think I have time to do all this. Do you know anyone who could help?

Oh yeah, we can let them write their name in one post or something similar to that on a board in the starter inn.

Well, I will try to see if I can find other people who can help out in besides the ones I can think of right off the top of my head: Maybe someone like Claire Redfield, Akira Kurusu, or Ken Amada, or I can contact Sokka as well since he does have a presence in social media. I’ll try to see if any of them can help out.

Or whoever posts the newsletter can take their names.

I'd go wait out at the bay for my important person, but it gets disheartening after a while. It'd be easier to scroll through names in private.

That's the second time I've heard mention of Sokka on the network. He looks at weapons or something? That his gig?

That could also work too.

Yeah, he (Sokka) does a lot of things with weapons over his video channel. That’s what the content in there is about.

What's his username? I may have spoken with him before. I already know he's a friend of a friend.

[He just wants to do a little snooping]

I do believe that it goes by the name of Boomerang Guy if I am not mistaken.

Hm. I'll keep my eyes peeled for him, then. If he's got a presence on the network, maybe he could help me help everyone stay informed.

Yeah, I do hope that he can be able to help out in sending out the information to everyone on the network.

I would like to help, I can ask my animal friends to carry messages, at the very least.

Not a bad idea, Rose.

[He knows she doesn't regularly go by that name, but on the network and it being part of her username, who will suspect?]

Can you ask any of them for any news about where the dragon went? I heard the giant stopped, too. Maybe for anyone stuck in Camelot, they'd like to know how any loved ones are who are trying to make their journey as refugees.

[It's been so long since someone has called her that, that for a moment, Aurora pauses. Despite the reason for this message, she smiles. The name has always been something she's loved.] I shall seek out the falcons, they will be fastest with such important news.

But it may be difficult to get the animals from that area to say anything, they would have fled long before the people and are likely to return slower if at all. I will have to ask those around Camelot proper.

I imagine some animals will return to that area, though? Also, with the weather going colder, I bet the resources will be scarce enough...

We'd have to gather the information before we can deliver it... Anything you can learn from them or relay using their assistance will help.

Should I contact you when I learn more about this River of Lost Souls?

I cannot speak for the animals here, but if they are anything like those in a regular catastrophe, many will have opted to flee and some will have opted to hide either in trees, burrows, caves, or dens. Large predators may have gathered to catch fleeing animals, predator birds most definitely will have returned by now to catch animals such as lizards or small rodents who have less foliage to hide with. Small predators like foxes, snakes, and small cats will likely take the opportunity to fill up on the revealed prey as well. But resources ARE scarce. And it's hard to say how they will respond to something like this which is... magical but unnatural. I can only make best guesses at most.

[Living SIXTEEN years in a forest means you get REALLY good about the habits of animals around you.]

That would be much appreciated.

There's a Doctor I've been speaking to. She has a post where she heard of the River I'm going to investigate. Do you think any animals in Camelot may know about it?

I don't mean to rush you, and if it's difficult for you or them, don't bother. I trust your judgement. I'm just looking for new perspectives.

If it is an actual river and not something more magical in nature or metaphorical... Snakes, beavers, toads, frogs, fishing birds, rabbits, and other animals prone to living near a river will provide the most information.

If it is more metaphorical or outright magic... we should ask the fae themselves. Animals are not likely to cross a magical being.

And to be honest, a "River of Lost Souls" sounds more like the realm of fae than of animals.

I'm not sure which one it is, so that's part of why I'm heading out to do research.

The name sounds fae, but... it could just be a river? I won't rule anything out.

I will ask the fae I have befriended as well as my animal friends, then. See if they will give me a straight answer on the matter.

The fae... giving a straight answer?

Hmmm, go ahead. You don't need my permission or anything. I just appreciate the help.

[There's a slight layer of nervousness as he speaks. An area called the River of Lost Souls doesn't sound great to say the least.]

O-okay...and please be carful Gokudera-kun.

Don’t worry, Tenth! I’m essentially just going to a super old library! How bad can it be?

I wouldn't mind helping out. I could use mu animal magic and ask around to see what they know about the general area.

[...]

Itt seems like the least I can do.

The candles reminded me a lot of Obon. Hi again.

[ It's been a hot minute ICly, but she still gives a little wave for him, and who she presumes is Larry. ]

I can't promise I'd be a lot of help, but I've been trying to volunteer where I can... I guess I could give gossip, wherever I hear it?
