[Codi comes in hoarse, surprisingly tired and exasperated compared to her usually loud and bouncy demeanor. In the background is a distinct sound of scrabbling against wood, along with more solid knocking, the occasional raised voice muffled by distance.]

--Hello! Yes. Sorry if anyone's tried to contact me over the past couple of days, I've been a little-- [There's a peculiar screech, high-pitched and clearly made by some kind of small animal, very close to the journal.] --busy, lately, and I got a little ill. I'm better now! Everything's fine.

[The screeching noise returns, almost plaintive this time, and is followed by a strange, guttural trill.]

Anyway, I just wanted to check in and see how things are going with everyone else! Is everything okay out there?

...Is anyone left?...

...Ah...also, just...curious...if you have any experience working with exotic lizards, can we talk?

[Closed to Alpha!Dave hollywood_bro and Leon theleonking]

Hey, so...updates? What's going on over there?

there was a hedgehog
a girl with weird powers
and some other girls
most of the new people were girls i think
if there were any guys i must've missed them.

Good to know you were keeping your eyes open. So things are going well, then?

i haven't had any trouble
can't say the same for everyone else
some people are going crazy and attacking each other
it's messed up.

You are absolutely right.

[...No, just...not going to tell him what went on a couple days ago with the cook. Actually she's just going to close the journal right now to avoid that conversation.]
