[answering after a moment]

Hello? --oh, Josh.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

Hey, Naoto. I figured it's been long enough, I might as well get in touch.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

It's good to see you again. How are you holding up?

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

Pretty well. There's a lot to do -- a lot of building stuff, mostly, and some organizing for defense.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

How well-fortified are the defenses, do you think?

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

We'll make do. The walls are fine and we're building engines -- we just got some towers back. The wards are still holding steady, as far as we can tell.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

Weaknesses?

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

Air attack's the big one. We're going to have to rely on mages and archers if they go that route -- maybe we can get some ballistae up, but I'm not counting on it. The walls are pretty uniformly solid but we'll have to watch the mountains -- it's way too tempting to assume they're impassable.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

Perhaps you could speak to the Personae who live there as permanent residents to get an idea of what the realm was like before the Darkness overtook it. To find out about the mountain pass, or what other defenses might be necessary. Even if it's vague, if they know of any passages in or out of the city, that might be a place to start.

*nods*

Good call. I don't know if they'll remember, but it's worth a shot.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

As for an air defense system... a good radar complex would be ideal, but not really feasible. Search lights might be possible... or a siren system to alert everyone of dangers.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

We've got the bells for alerts, and Rider's got some kind of light system. I'd give a lot for some flak guns but getting ammunition for them would be awful, so we'll make do.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

Yes, ammunition in general is rather annoying to obtain...

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

And it's worse in Camelot. I'm mostly sticking to field pieces we can make or find ammunition for, though Shark's getting some explosives together.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

It sounds as though you're preparing for battle.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

Yeah, pretty much. Eventually either the Darkness will breach the ward or we'll get the go-ahead to go take the fight to them.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

*picking up on that...?*

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

[sighs]

I wish I was there to help you fight it.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

...yeah. I wish you were too.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

How is Tiger's Eye doing? I heard about Regal...

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

Frederic, too. They're both in the Book, at least. But the new guys are pretty awesome.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[genderbinary]

Ah... I hadn't heard. Both of them, then...

[sighs]

They're safe, at least. I hope the new members adjust well.

Re: [Day 253 afternoon]

[orange_sun]

Yeah, they are. We can get up on the walls now...the woods are full of statues. So it's better than that.

They seem like they're doing okay so far.
