HaVE a nICE daY. [Text] [Forward-dated to the evening of the 10th]

[There's an audible chime, like a cheery voicemail tone, from every terminal simultaneously, before text appears on the screen.]

Good afternoon, Tower of Animus. My name is The Observer. I've got a special message for you today, direct from one of our beloved administrators. Please read, listen to, and memorize this message, and reproduce it wherever you can!


Souls in our world are defined as the self. Even those without anything that can be considered a soul in their own worlds would manifest one here. Souls are extremely resilient - they can be torn out of their body and survive provided they are removed in the right manner. But they shouldn't be of course - the side effects might be disastrous in ways we can't quite understand. It's happened here before. Souls can be torn out of this world the same as in any other. Here though they can split - that's extremely important. They can split and merge if you have the right skillset. Never lose your soul in the Tower of Animus. None of yours are yet lost - but never lose it! They won't come back whole if you let her swallow them up. The power must have gone by now - she'll want to restore the tower. Everyone who ended up trapped on their own worlds is now in grave danger! She can't take souls as Zo can, but she can siphon them and she can squeeze all the energy out of them.

As soon as this message is decoded put it in as many places as possible! Put it on the network make copies and plaster them on the walls. Do everything you can so that as many people read this message as possible. There isn't enough energy to erase everyone's memories!

Remember - souls born here can be split and reabsorbed here. A soul born elsewhere can be split there, but there's no way to put it back together unless you can put it back where it's supposed to be.

Not everything is as fake as it seems. Your souls are here and you have all been drugged to keep certain aspects of yourselves contained but every part of you is here. You can use that against them if you can figure out how to unchain yourselves.

I'm afraid you'll have Jason as your first opponent as he's the one with the keys you need. Be careful! There is information everywhere though much of it has been nearly permanently sealed. I can make it possible for you to access it, although you will all have to unlock it.



Wasn't that a special little message? Now, copy it down in your notes so you don't forget it! No matter whom you're allied with, be it Pandora, Ganondorf, your friends from home, or just yourself! There will be a test on this.

And the first section of the test is this - I want you to place at least one copy of this message somewhere in the tower. No points for hiding it! It has to be visible to everyone! In a few days I'll tell you all how you did, and I'll repeat this message for you lazy people who didn't see or hear this today.

That's all for now!

- The Observer

*He would reply in voice, but it feels strange to talk to someone who isn't there. It's much easier to simply leave a written message.*

Wilhelm, you're a piece on this board too, like it or not. We're all in the same situation. Please, stop acting as if you are still above it all and put that mind you claim is so analytical to use. Help us.

If we fail, you are mortal now too. You have no such luxury as a Recurrence.

[ Oh, dear... ]

My advice is routinely ignored, here.

Perhaps if you did not give it as a person taking part in a game with all of us it might be heeded, even if only because you would have the proper perspective to give it. The only advice I have personally seen you give someone here was vague and grossly underestimated everyone and everything involved - something I have been told and that I have seen you do often.

If this is not proof that you underestimate these "riots", what is?

What it will be is a learning experience. I will observe its success, if there is any to be had.

Observation again, as if you are still removed from this. Clearly, this position of being above everything happening around you is very important to you.

Far be it from me to continue to try to show you that you are not.


*These past few days have been one long string of "I'm too old for this" for Enoch, don't take it personally, Wilhelm.*

Open rebellion has failed time and time again. I am not in a hurry to join in a fruitless cause. This requires subtlety, and patience.

What do you think brought this about? Read the message carefully, and you will understand why this is so prominent now. Nowhere have I asked you to rise up in a riot. Nowhere has anyone asked this of you.

This in particular is unsubtle because it must be, as will be new information we gain, because it must be too ingrained in too many minds to erase.


*What he's far too nice to say is that he now doubts they could make effective use of Wilhelm's analytical skill... He will likely not respond, considering at about this point Ganon's post would be going up and he's going to be too tired and frustrated to keep up the debate here.*
