*If there's one thing that's generally a good idea, it's that suddenly having random dreams like this are not something you should ignore. Especially considering the IMPLICATIONS. Which is why some of you are probably woken up by a somewhat panicked comm call by a certain medium.*

ROLL CALL! Hey, everybody out there, check in, would you?! This is IMPORTANT AS HELL!

Sure, I can tell you that. It was anticlimactic, really. We were all ready to fight tentacle monsters and then the missing people just showed up on their own. Well, after Guybrush-san touched something suspicious, anyway.

[ghost_shield]

Something suspicious? Like what?

[greatseal]

The Trapezohedron Philemon-san mentioned.

["I think that's a little more important than being relegated to a side note!"]

Can you tell me anything about it?

[greatseal]

[Yes, she can. But bear with her because it takes a few minutes to compose.]

According to Atsuro-kun, it's an artifact mention in H.P. Lovecraft's works. I haven't actually read any of those books myself... but it's related to a being called Nyarlathotep.

I was also told by someone who worked with Igor-san that Philemon's enemy is also called Nyarlathotep. Philemon and Nyarlathotep made a bet on whether humans will destroy themselves. Philemon-san sided with us, and Nyarlathotep obviously didn't.

[ghost_shield]

I see. So it's directly connected to somebody who doesn't like us very much. That's... pretty bad, yeah.

I guess I should do more research into this. Know thy enemy and all that.

[greatseal]

I'm starting to think the same thing. I'm not really one for horror stuff usually, but if Lovecraftian things are actually real...

[ghost_shield]

...then things have gotten even more serious than they were already, right? Ho boy.

[greatseal]

Maybe it's why some of us had to stay behind.

[ghost_shield]

Maybe. Either way, I don't like being this far out of the loop. I think I should definitely devote more time into looking into this stuff.

[greatseal]

I agree. I hope the library here has books like that in its collection. It seems like they have some gaps.

[ghost_shield]

Gaps...? What sort of gaps?

*Suspicious as HELL, that.*

[greatseal]

Mostly history leading up to whatever disaster cut us off from the outside.

[ghost_shield]

Boy, talk about obviously obfuscating. That's worrying.
