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.
Stay safe, please. And take care of each other, for Gods’ sake.
Has anyone gone missing after this whole thing went down? One of my cocladist’s partners went missing on NYE, and then two days later, so did my cocladist. Is there a way I can check if this was also some horrible corruption or something or if she just quit? If she quit, I feel for her. I loved her partner, too. If this is still something that’s happening, though, I think everyone needs to know!

+We had a fight and she stormed out and then everything blinked out. I can’t reach her. I know she’s still mad at me, but I just need to know that she’s okay. Please, if anyone’s seen her, please let me know, or have her sent me a ping or something? She doesn’t have to talk to me, I know I said some nasty things, but I have to know that she’s okay. I just need to know she still exists. Even if she never forgives me, I have to know. Please.
+Dawn, if you’re reading this, please let me know. It doesn’t even have to be direct. You can message Prayer or First Light and they can let Ops know and I’ll even talk to Ops if it means I know that you’re okay. That’s all I want. No contact, I promise. I won’t even try to message you if you’ll just tell me, or not even me, but just get me a message. Please.
+I can’t ping her. I think she blocked me? Can you do that? And her name’s not on the clade directory, can she hide it? I don’t want to bother her, honest, I don’t care if she hates me forever, I just have to know that she’s still somewhere.
+It can’t be that the last things we said to each other were full of venom. That’s not fair. She has to still be here.
+I have to say I’m sorry. She has to know that I don’t hate her. Please don’t let her have died thinking I hate her.
+Please.
We still do not know the fullest extent, but suffice to say this is the greatest loss the System has ever endured. We shall not know the weight or size of the damage for much time yet to come, but the damage of the now is undeniable and unending. No one of us has gone untouched. Each of us feels how heavy emptiness and how loud silence both can be.
