But if you do come back and if you do need help in anything - seriously! anything! - let me know. Please.

And I promise this is the last time I bother your tablet. I'll wait it out for now and hope from here on out.

[Dear god what to say to all these messages?? Is this how people from the future use these tablets? Why would Daylight be that concerned about his safety?]

I'm here and I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. I think I was only gone a few days based on the date. That's a relief!

[ concern intensifies. ]

Rust and dust you scared the bolts out of me!! Not literally but the thought remains!

Where are you now? Do you need help?? Are you somewhere where you need help???

At the church. Lots of people here & I'm fine. I promise. I woke up here sitting on top of a pew like I'd just been having a nap. No harm done.

[ ... the church?

daylight is still very worried for him but the answer is enough to throw daylight off. just long enough for him to stop figuratively and literally fretting. ]

The church? That's really weird, I'm not gonna lie.

I was just there yesterday, helping out in cleaning some rooms out and stuff and. Well.

There was no sign of you there at the time. I think we would have noticed.

I know. Seems like I just arrived. Brought here by something or someone. I think I came out the trap door.

[ man- daylight hopes the pure ???? he feels is being felt right now after getting that message. ]

The trapdoor? The 'impossible to open despite all attempts made by everyone else trapdoor' trapdoor?

That trapdoor? [ just to be clear because- huh. is that what is hidden inside? something that helps them... stick around? ]

Only one I know about. For a second as I was coming to it looked like it was open. Might have seen the thing's hand but it was dark. It closed before I had realized what I was looking at.

Oh man! I had no idea that's what happens down there.

I kind of feel bad now for whoever lives there. :( I guess they're here to help us if anything really bad happens to us.

[ and they're repaying that kindness by essentially being this man. ]

[Rosinante is only vaguely aware of how many people have tried to force themselves through that door. But yes. The rest of the town is absolutely that man.]

Seems like it. Maybe we'll find out more if someone else ends up knocking out their lantern.

[ the sudden spike of concern that daylight feels is enough to make the usual lowercase words that his thoughts come in suddenly become capitalised.

example: ERRRR- ]

I'm not gonna lie- I would like to keep the lantern knocking outness to a minimum from now on. Accidental or purposeful or otherwise.

What if they can't always do that for us...?

Humor doesn't come through well in text, does it?

But it's true, from what I've heard. Whoever they are, there's no guarantee it will always work. Those lights are important.

[ one can feel daylight's sheepishness in his next text: ]

Oh. No. Not really. I guess that's why ETC tags were so important when everyone on my ship was messaging me.

[ what tags? well it doesn't seem to matter now. not when daylight bulldozes through that and focuses on the new conversation piece brought up: ]

Yeah! We definitely going to be careful. If you ever plan to explore somewhere dangerous or stuff, please let me know!

Maybe I can use my shields to protect the lantern or something.

What kind of shields? They won't block the light?

Force fields! They're invisible so the light will be able to shine through no problem. :D

The problem is that I need you to be within my sight and stuff. And I can't do it too many times in a day. I've been testing my powers and there's super weird stuff happening to them. :(

Ahh. You're not the first to have troubles here from what I've heard.

Have you been out into the forest yet?

[ daylight is not gonna lie- he finds some comfort in hearing that. if it was just him having hiccups with his powers than he'll eat his own servo. ]

Oh! No. I haven't been into the forest yet. Why do you ask?

Just curious is all. I've heard some of the creatures out there are aggressive. Wonder if your shields would hold up against them.

They should! Long as they don't, like, have modified ion cannons or something, my shield should be able to withstand most blows.

Thinking of taking a poke in there?

Been out once already and I'll be out more. Best to know our own surroundings, I figure. We'll be here a while.

If you ever plan to do something super cool, let me know! I'd love to help you out.

Oh! Sorry but I gotta go now. Someone's asking for a hand nearby.

Take care, okay? Seriously let me know if you need help. We're kinda buddies so I'll do what I can to back you up. :D

Sure. Thanks. I'll let you know if you can help with anything.
