Danse here.

Firstly, thanks are in order to the person who wrote that introduction pamphlet for newcomers. It offered enough to give most of us a brief but broad overview of what's going on here.

However, and I would like to stress that I mean no offence to the person who took the time and effort to write that newcomer's guide, I'd still like to learn more about the history of this city. I've seen the murals on the Colosseum walls; they're vivid, but I'd like a more detailed record of past events.

If anyone's willing to share what they know, please respond to this post. Thank you.

I acknowledge the veracity of your statements. But while you're absolutely right that we can't predict what those so-called gods will throw at us, I'd prefer to know what each god has done so that I can decide for myself how to regard each of them as individuals. I've also been asked by someone if anyone has attempted to devise an escape from this cave, and I told them I would ask around.

okay

one time, rage made us all want to murder someone. one time, rage and fear put human meat in the food supply and wound up getting those who ate it turned into wendigos. once, for like a week, we were randomly visiting one another's dreams and nightmares. once, cheesy-ass music started playing, and everyone had like some magical animal companion hanging around, and candy poured out of the faucets

omg, when confusion showed up, no matter how hard you concentrated when you were going somewhere, you got lost. ALWAYS. it lasted for fucking days, that was so annoying

if you can figure out a way they can get emotions from us, then you can figure out the kind of things that'll happen

[Believe it or not, Danse is actually copying this all down. Is he glad that he wasn't around when people could cross into dreams and nightmares.] From what I've been able to gather, Confusion is hardly pleasant in terms of the events she's caused, and her own personality leaves much to be desired.

I'm guessing Delight was behind the confectioneries and the magical animal companions. If she's behind such saccharine events, then it's possibly also her that caused the mistletoe and the snow. [...he can't believe he actually typed that down. Magical animal companions.]

I've counted six events from your description, and I'm able to match them to the relevant mural on the coliseum wall. Thank you. If you have the time to spare, then I'd like to hear about the remaining events as well.

it's true, she's a bitch [...says Emily, of all people.

Get used to weird shit, Danse. Just roll with it, it's better that way. Emily stopped fighting it long ago.] you're probably right, yeah. it seems like her kind of thing

i actually have to get to my sewing, but there's probably more than a few people willing to talk about the other events. good luck

[Yeah, Danse is looking at that long list of events that Sharon just passed him, and his eyebrows are rising higher and higher with every number. He's...definitely going to want to ask questions here.]

Thanks again. I'll leave you to your sewing.

I just realised I didn't ask for your name from the start. My apologies.

[Good luck, buddy. Here's hoping your eyebrows don't merge with your hairline.]
