[aquilacalvitium]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU ARE IN AMERICA, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HOW TO DEAL WITH ICE!

We're living in a fascist dictatorship, and those people at the top? They want everybody who is not a cishet white conservative to die or leave the country.

We need to find some way to fight back. Peaceful protest DOES NOT WORK, but violent protest from the people WILL get you killed if you do not have proper gear and power in numbers! If you are not in a position where you can fight back directly without being instantly squashed like a bug by the modern day SS, then do whatever you can to make sure you and your family and friends are safe.

A house divided cannot stand, and this house is going down FAST. Let's at least make sure we're not caught in the wreckage.

Do not close your eyes now of all times. Everything is burning around us. We can't be oblivious to the dangers any longer or they'll continue to walk all over us.

ICE Activity Tracker - Community Safety Alert System

Anonymous community-driven tool to report and track ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activity. Help protect undocumented immigrants

I'm only just now starting to track these kinds of things as well, but I will update this post with more resources, and if you have any yourself, I suggest you do the same.

This tracks ICE reports in the US. It isn't any sort of defense tactic or anything, but it should help with awareness of where their operations are.

I also suggest you keep up with the news.

[ask-salt-cellar]

(OOC mod announcement. After some time trying it, I have discovered I really am not comfortable roleplaying ships with the characters I am playing, at least not with other people. This is nobody else's fault, this is simply something I did not know about myself because I'm very new to online roleplay. Please forgive me for any trouble this has caused.

Please note that this will NOT stop Charcoal and Moonlight's plot, it will just be platonic from here. I have already discussed this with Moonlight's RPer. Thank you all for understanding)

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone, maybe you should leave Charcoal's side if there's even a slight chance of Sol being after you. Sol could target Charcoal yo get to you or even anyone in the camp.

Moonstone sighs, knowing that you might be right. He didn't want to do so but the camp could be in danger.

"...I'll...think about it...I want to stay with someone who understands me....and that I want to know more..." He says with a trembling voice.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Moonstone just got shot by an arrow

@moonstones-gaze

Moonstone! MOONSTONE! Are ye alright!?

And to think in the time it took me to brew tea the camp would be ambushed...

*charcoal Cookie whispers an incantation which summons several spirits to create a spiritual barrier around the tent*

Nothing should be able to get us now. Let me take a good look at the wound. I have some minor knowledge of first aid.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Fuck....There's nobody out there...I swear Sol's getting braver everyday...."

Moonstone had an arrow through his shoulder, dripping jam down his clean clothes.

[ask-salt-cellar]

I don't know whom you speak of, but we can discuss that later. What's important is getting ye up and walking. Can't be having yet another spirit haunting me...

*Charcoal Cookie tears off a piece of his jacket to use as a tourniquet and tightens it around Moonstone's arm*

I must find something to disinfect the wound. Please, do not panic. It'll all be over soon.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone grabs the arrow and pulls it out without issue, their jam a weird blue in color.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Alright, I have some rubbing alcohol- HOLY WITCHES.

Pray tell, Moonstone Cookie, why is yer jam... Blue?

Apologies, it must just be a flavor difference. Mine is black, after all. It just caught me off guard.

*charcoal Cookie steps forward with the rubbing alcohol and begins to dab some on the wound*

[moonstones-gaze]

"....I dont have a flavor...and most said that it looked normal before...? Strange..."

His hands were slightly pale-blue as well.

(COLD MOON SHIT GOOOOO)

[ask-salt-cellar]

If this discoloration be unusual for you, then it could be a sign of something more dangerous. Is it possible the arrow was tipped with poison?

Either way, I've done all I can to dress your wound. Soon, it should at least be healed up enough to remove the tourniquet... I daresay the tea is cold by now, but you can have it regardless. It sounds like you could use something to calm your nerves.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods, wincing as he shifts the injured shoulder.

"...I'm not use to...someone caring for me..." He mutters.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Heh, me neither. There really ain't anyone to care for you when yer living alone in the abandoned catacombs... But we cookies who have no one have to stick together so we have someone. Life ain't meant to be lived in solitude.

Besides, yer never truly alone. There are a lot of spirits trailing ye. They seem to like ye, heh.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods before feeling for a book in their bag.

(LORE DUMP TIME SOON)

[ask-salt-cellar]

Oh? What book do you have there? Anything good?

[moonstones-gaze]

"A book about the moon deities and the deity of sun....Ive been researching the story of Cold Moon, the oldest moon deity of the celestial isle...They were known for being the one of good, a guide of spirits but also the first ever deity alongside Sol...Nowadays he's just seen as the deity of winter due to his death and disappearance...But many say that he has an heir, one who's hidden from Sol so Sol doesn't use them to take over the other deities...."

[ask-salt-cellar]

...I see. I've never heard of these deities before, but their story sounds very intriguing.

Ye did mention Sol before when you got hit with the arrow though... Is the deity of the Sun out to get you or something?

Ah, sorry, that probably sounds foolish. Then again, when you deal with spirits 24/7, a lot of strange supernatural things become plausible...

[moonstones-gaze]

"...Probably...he did make a healer carry a child of Cold Moon...Sage is her name I think from the rumors Ive heard..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Sage. I believe Salt Cellar Cookie mentioned her having a conversation with Pure Vanilla Cookie some time around when she was mediating that argument between Shadow Milk Cookie and Silent Salt Cookie.

I'm not familiar with her myself, of course. But I've heard stories.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Same here...but if it's true...then it makes sense that he's after me...especially if the legend is true...that a blind warrior will be Cold Moon's heir..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah, so my theory was correct. So yer Cold Moon's heir then? Gotta say, that's quite a legacy to live up to.

If that means that yer gonna get ambushed at every turn though... Why not stay here for a while while the knights are off at war? An extra pair of eyes might be able to keep you safe.

Surely Silent Salt Cookie wouldn't have a problem. If he did, that would be hypocrisy, since he used to always preach about Solidarity.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Huh? I don't think I am...Sol could be targeting all blind warriors...but yeah...I'll stay here..."

Moonstone starts trying to write down things into a journal he had pulled out while they were talking.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Very well then. I'll prepare a spot for ye in one of the tents...

Would ye prefer to take over one of the empty tents, or shall I make a bed for you in mine? If you're in here with me, I could keep an eye out easier, but I understand that might make ye uncomfortable.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Either works....Hopefully Larimer finds her way here soon..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Understood.

I'm sure she'll find her way here. Nearly all the horses I've met have the uncanny ability to just appear places.

Then again, all I really have to go off of is Nox and Alloy... But I digress. If ye need anything, just ask. I'll be here.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods before his stomach growls.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah, ye must be hungry after all of that. We have some salted meat jellies stored away if that tickles yer fancy, although I could certainly forage for something else if you desired.

[moonstones-gaze]

"I'm good...not actually hungry..."

....lies....

[ask-salt-cellar]

I suppose I can't force ye to eat anything, but it would be better for yer health if ye did... Is there perhaps anything I can make that you would enjoy more? I can whip up just about anything with the ingredients in this here forest, it just might take a while...

[moonstones-gaze]

"Its not that...I just...dont trust others with my food..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah. I understand. It's hard to trust cookies nowadays.

Well, I suppose there isn't much more I can do then myself. However, if you were to maybe steal food from any of the other's tents to prepare yourself, perhaps I could turn a blind eye?

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone searches through his bag and finds what seems to be a rotting apple before trying to eat it without realizing its rotting.

[ask-salt-cellar]

I'd advise ye to be careful with that apple. It's so rotten I can practically see its soul trying to enter the beyond...

If apples are safe for you to eat provided they aren't touched by others though, I heard there are some apple trees nearby. Alas, they are a little farther out to the East, closer to the Garden of Sloth. I could... Escort you there, if you so desire.

[moonstones-gaze]

"...Please do...I prefer to gather my food myself...No offense..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

None taken. Come, it's just this way.

*Charcoal Cookie begins to lead Moonstone Cookie out into the night, the light of his lantern surrounding the two of them in a blue glow*

Do ye see that hill over there? The one surrounded by those pink flowers with eyes and teeth. Atop that hill is the sugar apple tree. They say apples from the garden are quite delicious, so I'm sure you will enjoy them...

[moonstones-gaze]

"...I can't see but I can smell all the different herbs around us..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah, yes. I am sorry. That's my bad. Here, I'll help you up the hill.

*charcoal Cookie helps Moonstone Cookie up to the tree. You can smell the sweet scent of several apples on the tree*

Well, we have arrived. Take whatever ye want. It's not like anyone else is coming to this tree, heh.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone starts grabbing as many apples as they could, quietly counting how many days he could survive on them if he only ate one or two a day. It wasn't enough for a warrior like him but he lived on what he could.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Glad to see ye got a good few. Not a good idea to adventure on an empty stomach.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods, munching on one while sitting in the tree.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Moonstone just got shot by an arrow

*Charcoal Cookie tears off a piece of his jacket to use as a tourniquet and tightens it around Moonstone's arm*

I must find something to disinfect the wound. Please, do not panic. It'll all be over soon.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone grabs the arrow and pulls it out without issue, their jam a weird blue in color.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Alright, I have some rubbing alcohol- HOLY WITCHES.

Pray tell, Moonstone Cookie, why is yer jam... Blue?

Apologies, it must just be a flavor difference. Mine is black, after all. It just caught me off guard.

*charcoal Cookie steps forward with the rubbing alcohol and begins to dab some on the wound*

[moonstones-gaze]

"....I dont have a flavor...and most said that it looked normal before...? Strange..."

His hands were slightly pale-blue as well.

(COLD MOON SHIT GOOOOO)

[ask-salt-cellar]

If this discoloration be unusual for you, then it could be a sign of something more dangerous. Is it possible the arrow was tipped with poison?

Either way, I've done all I can to dress your wound. Soon, it should at least be healed up enough to remove the tourniquet... I daresay the tea is cold by now, but you can have it regardless. It sounds like you could use something to calm your nerves.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods, wincing as he shifts the injured shoulder.

"...I'm not use to...someone caring for me..." He mutters.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Heh, me neither. There really ain't anyone to care for you when yer living alone in the abandoned catacombs... But we cookies who have no one have to stick together so we have someone. Life ain't meant to be lived in solitude.

Besides, yer never truly alone. There are a lot of spirits trailing ye. They seem to like ye, heh.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods before feeling for a book in their bag.

(LORE DUMP TIME SOON)

[ask-salt-cellar]

Oh? What book do you have there? Anything good?

[moonstones-gaze]

"A book about the moon deities and the deity of sun....Ive been researching the story of Cold Moon, the oldest moon deity of the celestial isle...They were known for being the one of good, a guide of spirits but also the first ever deity alongside Sol...Nowadays he's just seen as the deity of winter due to his death and disappearance...But many say that he has an heir, one who's hidden from Sol so Sol doesn't use them to take over the other deities...."

[ask-salt-cellar]

...I see. I've never heard of these deities before, but their story sounds very intriguing.

Ye did mention Sol before when you got hit with the arrow though... Is the deity of the Sun out to get you or something?

Ah, sorry, that probably sounds foolish. Then again, when you deal with spirits 24/7, a lot of strange supernatural things become plausible...

[moonstones-gaze]

"...Probably...he did make a healer carry a child of Cold Moon...Sage is her name I think from the rumors Ive heard..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Sage. I believe Salt Cellar Cookie mentioned her having a conversation with Pure Vanilla Cookie some time around when she was mediating that argument between Shadow Milk Cookie and Silent Salt Cookie.

I'm not familiar with her myself, of course. But I've heard stories.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Same here...but if it's true...then it makes sense that he's after me...especially if the legend is true...that a blind warrior will be Cold Moon's heir..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah, so my theory was correct. So yer Cold Moon's heir then? Gotta say, that's quite a legacy to live up to.

If that means that yer gonna get ambushed at every turn though... Why not stay here for a while while the knights are off at war? An extra pair of eyes might be able to keep you safe.

Surely Silent Salt Cookie wouldn't have a problem. If he did, that would be hypocrisy, since he used to always preach about Solidarity.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Huh? I don't think I am...Sol could be targeting all blind warriors...but yeah...I'll stay here..."

Moonstone starts trying to write down things into a journal he had pulled out while they were talking.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Very well then. I'll prepare a spot for ye in one of the tents...

Would ye prefer to take over one of the empty tents, or shall I make a bed for you in mine? If you're in here with me, I could keep an eye out easier, but I understand that might make ye uncomfortable.

[moonstones-gaze]

"Either works....Hopefully Larimer finds her way here soon..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Understood.

I'm sure she'll find her way here. Nearly all the horses I've met have the uncanny ability to just appear places.

Then again, all I really have to go off of is Nox and Alloy... But I digress. If ye need anything, just ask. I'll be here.

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone nods before his stomach growls.

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah, ye must be hungry after all of that. We have some salted meat jellies stored away if that tickles yer fancy, although I could certainly forage for something else if you desired.

[moonstones-gaze]

"I'm good...not actually hungry..."

....lies....

[ask-salt-cellar]

I suppose I can't force ye to eat anything, but it would be better for yer health if ye did... Is there perhaps anything I can make that you would enjoy more? I can whip up just about anything with the ingredients in this here forest, it just might take a while...

[moonstones-gaze]

"Its not that...I just...dont trust others with my food..."

[ask-salt-cellar]

Ah. I understand. It's hard to trust cookies nowadays.

Well, I suppose there isn't much more I can do then myself. However, if you were to maybe steal food from any of the other's tents to prepare yourself, perhaps I could turn a blind eye?

[moonstones-gaze]

Moonstone searches through his bag and finds what seems to be a rotting apple before trying to eat it without realizing its rotting.

[ask-salt-cellar]

I'd advise ye to be careful with that apple. It's so rotten I can practically see its soul trying to enter the beyond...

If apples are safe for you to eat provided they aren't touched by others though, I heard there are some apple trees nearby. Alas, they are a little farther out to the East, closer to the Garden of Sloth. I could... Escort you there, if you so desire.

[moonstones-gaze]

"...Please do...I prefer to gather my food myself...No offense..."
