That's strange. Many of the worlds I've been to just closed themselves off. I can't travel to Radiant Garden, the Enchanted Dominion, the Castle of Dreams, or even the Land of Departure. And the number of Unversed incidents seem to be dwindling.

Is it too much to hope that this all might be over?

That may be a good sign or a bad sign, depending on what kinds of things that goes on in your worlds.

[shiningwaters]

I don't know. Now that I finished things in this world and the virus is over, I was going to head back home with my suspicions. But I can't get there. And when I tried one of the few worlds I could get to, I hardly found any Unversed. I don't know if it means it's safe or not.

[of_many_treasures]

Sometimes when things change like that, it's for the worse. It means the enemy is consolidating power.

[shiningwaters]

I know. But I don't get the feeling that anything bad happened to my friends.

[bag_has_snapped]

Is... is that a good thing?

...did that captain and me do something that changed things?

[shiningwaters]

I don't think it was us, though if that Vanitas knows I have more friends to help, maybe he's playing it safe right now. But I'm not sure if I should feel relieved about that or more worried.

[bag_has_snapped]

Don't worry, whatever happens, we'll be ready! R-Right?

[shiningwaters]

Right. Thank you.

[makewayforroze]

Were you able to find your friends first? I hope the three of you are together, when it is over.

[shiningwaters]

Not yet, so I hope they're okay. All of the attacks seem to be coming to a stop. I'm not sure if it means the enemy's been defeated or if they're concentrating on something else right now.

[makewayforroze]

All three of you wanted the same thing. Maybe they did defeat them, maybe they did win.

[shiningwaters]

I hope so. And I think I'd know if something bad happened to them.

[tunics]

A...Aqua!

[they haven't talked in a while, sadly.]

Is it... really slowing down?

[shiningwaters]

It's good to see you too again.

It seems like it. Areas that I know usually have a lot of attacks are down to maybe one or two. And they're not as strong as usual.

[tunics]

That's a relief... I'm glad to see this cooling down at least.

But why is it stopping?

[shiningwaters]

I don't know. I want to think it's because our enemy is losing ground, but it's just as possibly he's pulling back to focus on something bigger.

[hisownpath]

You can't be too careful. For all you know, something bigger might be coming down the road.

[shiningwaters]

That's what I'm afraid of.

[hisownpath]

Do you know where your friends are?

[shiningwaters]

No, not since that argument we had.

I think all you have to do to get to the Castle of Dreams is falling asleep. [ dryly, she couldn't resist that one.. ]

But it could be either a good sign or a bad sign. It means that you don't have anything left to do there anymore or maybe something bad is doing it. Who knows?

Re: video;

[shiningwaters]

That's just what we called it. I'm sure the locals call it something different.

I wish I knew for certain, though.

[entreats]

I doubt there's any way to find out.. at least, not easily. There's probably not some great mysterious entity controlling worlds anywhere near you, huh?

[those sound more like 'other areas' rather than 'other universes'...]

...Is this on worlds connected to the Community or by some other mechanism?

Re: video

[shiningwaters]

The worlds that I've been able to travel to--I guess linked to our "universe" would be the best term? I haven't seen these problems appear in other worlds linked to the community yet.
