I'm interested in traveling to the Hinterlands to investigate the fallen star and perhaps collect a shard or two. To that effect, I'm looking for one (1) partner to take along with me.

I would prefer that you're combat-capable in case something goes awry, but it is not a necessity. If you're good at sneaking around, that's even better.

Comment below and let's work something out. If you have already been to see the fallen star, I'd greatly appreciate your recollection of the events.

EDIT: I'm good now, thanks. Feel free to comment regardless if you'd like to share your experience with collecting the star shard.

(( ooc: for clarification, i'm happy to take multiple people on separate rounds of this notice board quest! this isn't to game the system and get mulitple rewards, i just want Interactions™ ))

(( ooc 2: i am a terrible planner. LMAO. in the interest of not drowning myself with multi-track questing, i'll be editing this post and cutting off participants. thank you for responding ;_; ))

A high five is acceptable, I suppose.

Mine's actually not a smartphone. It's a flip phone. I always preferred them, so I wonder if that's why I wound up with one when I arrived here.

[coherer]

Dude, no offence, but that's so sad.

ik they're like bricks like you could drop one off a skyscraper and it'd be fine, they're just sooo ancient.

(THE GEN Z HAS INVADED)

No one who says "no offense" ever means it. What are you, a zoomer?

[ He, a millennial, will not stand for this slander! ]

I don't need my phone to do much beyond essential functions. I had a smartphone before I died, but it's actually kind of nice to have the nostalgia.

[coherer]

(kaito and jonas kicking off the millennial vs. gen z trend in stygia. the undying war, both losing sides.......RIP BRO)

omg you are 100% from Earth LMFAO. Born in '98, baby.

(another earthling. jonas' thumb swipes quickly at his screen to text back as soon as he can, relieved.)

tbh they were starting to come back in a big way. They even made like touchscreen flip phones, ones where the literal screen actually folded?? idek if they flopped or were just popular for a few countries or what.

..... Wait, did old flip phones have an internet browser?

[nagano]

[ There's a clear winner here, and it's me laughing my head off as I open a new tab and ask Google for millennial vs zoomer jokes.

Kaito splits a smile when the other confirms his origin. ]

Doesn't that put you on the cusp? '91 over here.

Oh, I know about those. Weird shit. A popular Korean brand made a flip phone with a touch-friendly screen, which I think is a bit less jarring than the whole foldable smartphone thing.

They did, by the way. A very, very limited browser. All it could really load was text. This one's got a better interface for websites.

I'm Kaito, by the way.

[coherer]

omg I don't think so, but I actually have no idea. That'd be super embarrassing after all this time, though. tbh we're all way too tired for generational feuds, let's just hate the top 1% and call it a day.

ia w/ you on the Korean brand, I think I'd legit buy one of those if I had the money. They seem super cool, like as long as they had Bluetooth or whatever.

I'm Jonas.🙋🏻‍♂️ Good to meet you, man. Is your name Japanese?

[nagano]

(( ngl still wanna see one of the hp kids apply so we can run the zoomer millennial bit on them too LMAO ))

Eat the rich. I was behind it when I was alive, and I'm still very much behind it now. [ Nevermind that he technically counts as one of the rich in life. Guy pinched holes into the pennies he gave himself as an allowance. He's still doing it now. ]

Pleasure's mine, and yes it is. I'm mostly Japanese with some Korean from my grandmother. What about you? 'Jonas' could fit anywhere from western Europe to North America.

(fr though, let's see a draco malfoy up in here, stat)

I'm detecting a wee bit of Hierarchy disdain up in here Kaito hahahhaa

I'm from Oregon in the US. West coast best coast. I'm like intensely jealous considering you guys have like the best food of all time. We just act like we invented burgers.

[nagano]

Big Brother is always watching, but I will admit that I am legitimately not at 'fuck the police' levels of intolerance.

[ Yeah, let's see how that opinion holds when Hibiki gets branded and thrown in the Gallows. ]

Ugh, you Americans and your portion sizes. I'm so jealous. Don't get me wrong, I can make myself a jumbo bowl of ramen if I want, but our McDonalds burgers look like coins compared to what you guys have.

...I'm gonna see if I have enough ingredients at home to make burgers. The bread's gonna suck, but I can compromise.

[coherer]

tbh same like that Amun guy was a dick, absolutely, but I kinda feel for him. Like imagine having to coordinate anything in this place for however long he's worked here. He's already in his own personal hell lmfao, if we wanted to get back at him he'd probably be all Clint Eastwood "MAKE MY DAY" about it yk?

(these thumbs never slow down, the text message gets steadily girthier)

Don't be though man fr, love yourself. The portion sizes are wild like good luck dieting ever, but ig tbh we're not going to McDs to get salads so.

I would do literally anything in my power to make burgers happen for us, so if that means read a book to learn how to bake bread, I'll do it. Whatever you need. ik a guy with an oven.
