    Kiloannum Orbit 02, Among the Linafer Mountains Part 2

    This episode contains a content warning for missing children.   A feeling of danger grows as a sibling's absence goes on longer and longer. Research into the storm bears little fruit and a mentor is suspected and investigated. Everything leads to a mystery of disappearing people that leads the crew into the woods.   Allowing bonds to manifest, while glowing herbs are given test, a little knowledge gained is best; while seeking loved ones time feels pressed. - Frinn ===========REFERENCE GUIDE============ 👥 CHARACTERS 👥 Argos Sandsailer [he/him]: Player character played by Lou.

    Kiloannum Orbit 01, Among the Linafer Mountains Part 1

    The main crew must prepare for the stresses of moving day, such as angry foremen and disembodied whispers on the wind. They find time to relax with some animal therapy and meditation, but something is off as a sibling's absence is felt.   Discordant echoes now have passed, and weathered hearts touch in at last, refilling bonds each empty glass; and so our hands now gently clasp. - Auña ===========REFERENCE GUIDE============ 👥 CHARACTERS 👥 Argos Sandsailer [he/him]: Player character played by Lou.
