Mavi is okay, I think, although she lost track of the party which is a little sore. We'll just have to throw her another anniversary I suppose. But Bay is gone. One sentence ey was there, fine, gossiping gladly and drinking champagne with us. We look away, we look back, and ey is nowhere to be found. It doesn't make sense for em to quit like that, so suddenly, without warning.

|

Do you think this is like the virus Ioan Bălan wrote about in Individuation & Reconciliation? But that was described as a breaking up of oneself, and there was no such distress. Bay and Mavi just disappeared as if they had simply quit. Nobody touched them, but we are all staying in quarantine until we figure out what happened, just in case it's contagious.

I've been keeping a spare fork in another sim, too, but they probably have the same thing I do if it is contagious. We're all so worried. If anyone has any information from the engineers, please let me know.

What *didn't* come back, however, were a bunch of our instances. How many are missing is still up in the air. Dry Grass has counted more than two billion based on what everyone is saying on the feeds, but she's still going and obviously isn't going to catch those who won't be posted about.

She's talked with a phys-side System engineer, and answers are pretty slim. They've confirmed all that we're seeing, and say that they've done their best efforts for recovering everyone. They're unable or unwilling to say just what happened or how many people were affected.

That means that, at least for the moment, those of us who aren't engineers are on our own when it comes to hunting down information. We're working on it on our own, as I'm sure thousands of others are. To that end, I propose that we start pooling our information. Here are the things we'd love to know, but if you have anything else to share, please do add it to the pool.

Still, information from everyone is useful. To that end, I propose that we start pooling our resources.

|

How many of your clade are missing?
|
||||
: Stick with just your clade, and just the ones you know are missing. You can check by trying to ping them; it'll feel impossible to reach them if they no longer exist. If you don't know everyone in your clade, have everyone else do the same. If you're willing, full signifiers would also be appreciated as we start to build a list of just who is missing.

|
||||
|
||||
What percentage of your clade is missing?
|
||||
: Total up the instances that are missing, then divide that by the total number of people in your clade from before Lagrange went down and multiply it by 100. Once we start collecting enough of these percentages, we'll be able to average them out and get a rough estimate of how many on Lagrange are actually missing. The more we get, the more accurate that estimate will be.

List any friends you're missing.
|
||||
: Please give their full signifiers — name and tag both as they appear in the clade listing — so that we can weed out duplicates. These will be added to the list of missing, which will help others search for friends and family. We're also in talks with a sim designer who's thinking of setting up a memorial.

Do you remember anything out of the ordinary?
|
||||
: If you remember anything that feels weird, write it up in as much detail as you can. Maybe some people will wind up remembering something from before the end, as all of our memories stop just before midnight. All of us mentioned a sense of déjà vu, though, which may be a side effect of the System coming back online.

Any news that might help?
|

: Have you heard any rumblings, either sys- or phys-side, leading up to this that might help explain what happened? Maybe you're still in touch with relatives back on Earth, or maybe you follow some feeds that we're still hunting for. The more concrete the data, the better!

||||
|

To everyone who helps add information to this pool, *thank you!* The more we have, the better, and the better our information, the better we can communicate with phys-side about what happened. To anyone who wants to help, *double thank you!* Get in touch with me or Dry Grass. We need folks tallying losses and coding responses. Fresh eyes are better.

Keep going and do your best!

Keep going and stay safe!

Hey folks.

So I’m not going to beat around the bush here; the Bar on Parkway Vale#b1306638 is going to be closed for business until further notice, given recent events (Or apparently recent as the case may be). The Flynn Clade, the owners and proprietors of the establishment, are currently in mourning, having lost one of their Cocladists and a not-insignificant number of friends and loved ones.

We ask of you all to be patient and to take your time with this. Give Casey and their clade the space they need at this time; they are particularly fragile, even if they don’t always show it. There will be a time when the Four-Winds open up again, yes, but it is not today, it is not tomorrow, and it is definitely not any day this week. I know we can’t guarantee when things will be back underway, and I know things will never return to the way they were, but I ask of you all to hold on, and hold together. We who remain are all we have left. Ping those you haven’t spoken to in a while, those you regret having broken away from, and be there for your fellow instances in this troubled and uncertain time.
