Day 01 - Our First Official Request


It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

Pushpin was recently contacted by the newly-elected head scientist of Silent Neverland– Frozen Boba. He’s operating in Fort Blanket and has requested help with documenting information about the Lawless King of The Night, the region’s wild district.

I’m not really the type to enjoy bitter cold, but Push said this job would need to be done eventually. She described it as urgent, in fact, and I suspect she may have understated the matter. She handed me the train tickets before I even had the chance to protest.

Tomorrow I’ll be boarding a train that will stop in Marshlight Port, and then another train to Fort Blanket. I’m excited to see the ocean, I have not visited the port since I was a child!

Here in Reaching Gardens and the neighboring marketplace, morale has been grim. Several more children have gone missing– many of them from the gemstone hive. A pattern seems to be emerging: whoever is behind this has a preference for bestial children, though they’ll take anyone. Ten hominid children have also been recorded missing, and not a single body has been recovered. Most are now presumed dead, and Push has thrown herself entirely into trying to uncover what’s going on.

She says the disappearances tend to occur at the edge of the jungle. We suspect wild district objects are responsible. Children are no longer allowed in that area, but still, on some nights, another child vanishes.

I digress. I’ll be taking a break from this madness again tomorrow. I’m eager to put these sorrows behind me. In the port, I’ll be staying the night and having hotpot with Tech and some of her coworkers. I look forward to it!
