Hey, it's me again. Donnie. [He feels the need to tag that on as he considers what he wants to talk about here.]

...I know it's not going to get any easier the farther we go. That carnival was... Well. If you know, I doubt you need a reminder. But it's only proof that we don't know what more we'll be coming across, and how badly anything will affect us.

It's bad enough there aren't many warnings for the things that do change us, but it's worse when we don't even realize it. Maybe you remember back in the desert, something was messing with our heads, making us forget things, or think we've lived in this screwed up world all this time.

Leo and I made some notes to ourselves- records, basically, written and recorded. Something to help us remember the truth, who we are if we lose ourselves again. But after the carnival...

...

I don't think it's enough. Not if we won't be able to remember to listen or read those testaments. I know we're pulled from all sorts of places, but I don't think any of us want to forget who we are- we can't forget. So I think it'd be beneficial for all of us if we recorded something about ourselves, something we'd think would help us remember, if the worst case ever happens.

You can write it or say it- I have means to keep both, I'll save it on file too, just in case. But it's something we can have on hand. In case any of us slips...

And even if we can't remember ourselves, at least-

At least other people can. And maybe we can help each other.

[He falls silent for a moment, drawing in a deep breath before he lets it out slowly.]

A-anyway, let me know if you need anything or you can just find me at the Turtle Tank. I'm finishing up a strongbox to keep things in. Maybe we can put it in the main train.

...

Donnie, out.

WELL, here we are everyone! Someway, somehow, we've made it to December and the last month of the year. As a reminder, AC is optional and check-in for December much as it was for December. It's a very busy time of the year, and no point in adding more stress for people. If you wish to do AC Rewards and the like, feel free. But otherwise, please don't worry about Activity Checks for this month! Go forth and enjoy (or survive!) the holiday season.

With that said, here's what we've got planned for December!

Full of monsters, frostbite, hostile mountains, and lots of snow.

As for RP, this month the Convoy will be climbing up an imposing and snow wrapped mountain. There’s going to be obstacles in the form of weather, and elements raging out of control; fire and ice are both warring, and even take on the forms of monsters in the form of Lunagaron and Glavenus having a turf battle. This turf battle can cause avalanches, fire storms, the odd Banbaro stampede… And even affect the Drifters with Elemental and Raiju event transformations. It’s also possible to pick up fire and ice elemental powers on top of everything else!

Beyond that, the storms grow steadily worse as the month goes by. And the Convoy fuel continues to drop down to dangerously low levels. Though thankfully, there’s a structure looming near the summit, that should be able to provide shelter and fuel… Though that will be an arrival for next time!

One more odd little quirk about the ascent up the mountains this month. The radios pick up a peculiar quirk as the snow storms grow worse midway through the month.

A radio broadcast comes in from the Mysterious Radio Host, though it is extremely weak… And apparently prone to hijacking, as two other voices cut in to make contact with the Drifters. These voices can quickly be identified as a Steel Warden and Silver Tear and judging by their tone, they are people with some clout and some interest in the Drifters.

The signal is growing worse as the storm ramps up. But Drifters will have time to get one or two questions and comments from one of the speakers, before the signal cuts out completely. ((Read, we can manage a 5ish comment chain for characters!))

And that is our route planned for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

Hi, it’s Ren again. Got a couple questions for the crowd.

1. Do any of you know anything about food preservation? My knowledge starts and stops with the freezer, and that’s getting pretty full. There’s still a lot of food here that we can collect to take with us when we leave. We should probably try to take advantage of that.

2. Do you believe in fate? This one’s just personal curiosity. Feel free to elaborate on why or why not.

Also, I made stew. Stop by the kitchen if you want some.

Greetings, fellow convoy-ers. ...okay that didn't sound right ANYWAY-

I've been thinking we need better jammy-jams than whatever haunted soundtracks the Convoy decides to play for us, because even the worst of road trips needs some sort of music to help hold us over.

...of course since it's limited to whatever MP3s I've got on my phone, I hope that at least some of you have a taste for techno and eighties pop music. But if anyone else has happened to have some of their own music on hand, I will be happy to add it to the collection.

Ah, you say, but Donatello- how will we listen to your amazing tracklist? We've sorely neglected the localized radio network for other potentials- don't get me wrong, it's important getting the creepy messages whenever the thing picks them up, and yes, communication is a priority, but porque no las tres?

You are welcome to tune into the station, frequency seven-three-three-seven, at any time, barring any power outages of course.

kill me if you dare.

(i'm the underdog.)

It's good for you!
