Peter and I have been talking with people at the gala. Right now he's following up on someone called the Lightbringer, and I'm sure he'll fill you all in once he knows more. But while I'm waiting to hear what he finds, thought I'd get some information out there for all of you.

1. The people with eye-motif necklaces are the Presto Hvalus, a religious order of some sort. They commune with the hvalus, which I'm guessing are the huge sea creatures with those bioluminescent patterns. According to them, those creatures were gone for a while, and now they've come back, and all that communing with them gets is a general sense of chaos. Not that they themselves are chaotic, but that's the thing that was on their minds.

I was told you can join the monks as an acolyte, and I'm still thinking about whether it's a good use of time here, but if anyone can already communicate telepathically like I know some of you can, you might reach out to those hvalus, see what they have to say. I have a feeling they've seen a lot.

2. The Lightbringer I mentioned is someone who turned up sometime in the last year and saved a lot of the people here from an illness they call gill fever through some kind of miracle. Any of you with medical or magical knowledge, maybe have a look at someone who was saved from the fever, see if you can work out what happened. Peter's trying to dig into more information about this Lightbringer, and we'll see if we can track down where he went.

Can't keep up with all this and also keep an eye on the royal family. If someone's free and wants to watch them, I think we all know that orbs and political leaders have a tendency to get intertwined on these missions.

(This is mostly an IC version of their Baton Pass comment! Hopefully one or more of these leads will help someone out who's looking for search request ideas!)

That's right. I don't think it's safe to trust much where the orbs are involved until we can see firsthand what the situation truly is. It pays to be skeptical around these things.

Just in case, I can also try to see if there's a way for me to project an actual cure to this disease if it does pop back up. Hard to do without subjects though.
