you're going to be amazing

[A few minutes after the Voidfish's impromptu all-minds poetry reading on the 25th, Michael makes his own more traditional broadcast!]

Did everyone on the moon hear that just now? Everyone in here did, but - that was the voidfish! I didn't even know you could do that, buddy, that's great! And I'm glad you liked the poem, too. I thought that might be a fun holiday snack.

[okay, he got distracted there, but back to the bracer:]

...it'd be nice if some other people visited it today. Really drab in this room.

[That's an excuse. The poetry reading was the most loud and obvious thing to happen here, but Michael noticed the rest too. Two stars...

He already had suspicions. He put them right in the last two lines of the poem. It just feels so sad, all the time. Maybe that could've been about anything, but Michael's come to learn that people are the hardest thing to miss. Did it have a friend once? They're different in size; maybe a parent or a child? That's weird to think about, but for all his fondness, he knows the two of them really aren't the same sort of creature. Just look at how pretty it is.

He's never been the most tactful person. But the thought of yelling about all of that over the network feels bad. He's not unwilling to share; it didn't seem like a secret. Just...maybe a little more privately.]

[ Natsuki's been doing a lot of thinking after her first mission. The fact that they failed has put a lot of things into perspective, and so she decides it's time to write a poem.

... Well, re-write one, to be specific. The general meaning here seems appropriate, but it seems like a nice touch to change the words around a little bit to better suit the audience. Not that there was anything wrong with the original, of course. Why would you imply that?

In any case, one evening after they've returned to the not-so-much-on-the-moon Moon Base, a picture of some writing in a notebook appears on the network. ]



[ It's rather short, isn't it? She chooses to offer no explanation, at least up front. ]

[Sans posts a basic rundown of everything that happens during a "default" loop.]

we need to keep track of what's going to cause changes
far as i can tell, this is what happens if we don't do anything
you do something that changes it, you tell everyone here what you did and what changed and when
we're not getting anywhere if we don't keep track of this stuff

[So, this is the basic IC info sharing post! Go nuts!]
