• How is everyone over at the Lufton? -JH #
• I am outside by ‘The Trio.’ There have been many Zayzans arriving, but all is orderly. -Hlarana #
• I am over by the bar. The opening act is about to start. Great crowd, definitely a full house. -Oxide #
• The opening act are fantastic. Best Gurge Rock I’ve heard in a long time. Here if things get messy, but off-duty. -Livie #
• Wowowowow….. Sticky from the Gaff got up on stage for the band’s cover of “Rocking the Boat!!!” Kimberly Trip is up next. -Livie #
• I’ve moved inside now. Watching by the entrance. -Hlarana #
• This is amazing. This is the best so far in the series. Everyone is into it. -Livie #
• I’m hearing about an atmospheric disturbance. Sky turning pink over Harborside near Lufton. What’s going on? -JH #
• The SKY is TURNING PINK! I don’t think I’m this high. -Livie #
• I see it too. It seems spontaneous. Lumin came out on deck and looked surprised. The music is phenomenal, band still playing. -Oxide #
• It started fading when the song ended… I think the band magnified. -Hlarana #
• That was an amazing concert… and that sky…. I’m stunned still… -Livie #
• Crowd is thinning in an orderly fashion. Still many Zayzans talking, drinking or dancing. -Hlarana #
• The festivities seem to be over at Lufton Runner. Oxide is off-duty while he helps Livie home. She had an especially good time. -Hlarana #
• Good work, everyone. Oxide, make sure she drinks some juice. -JH #

The sky and Gurge energy turn pink behind Kimberlina, lead vocalist for the Kimberly Trip

Things are finally slowing down her at the Luf, so I can let you know that we have photos and music from tonight’s concert. The Kimberly Trip put on an amazing show — so good, the sky spontaneously turned pink over their heads in what some people are calling an act of magnification (but Lufton Collective leaves it up to you to decide). Read the whole story and listen!

We’re always looking for more acts to appear at future Tellurian Music shows. Contact booking at luftonrunner dot com if you are interested.

• Cole is going in for a skin graft tomorrow. Anyone who wants to show up and provide moral support is welcome. -Splash #
• Cole is awake and heavily drugged. Seems like it worked all right. He should end up no uglier than he used to be. -Bolo #

• On duty Teacher Town -Splash #
• Monitoring the crowd outside Under the Spindle. Pitri and Mik are inside already. -Livie #
• Oh, I got my tickets and I’m on-duty again. -Livie #
• Leaving Teacher Town, heading to Balance Reef. -Splash #
• On duty Twin Cables. -Bolo #
• I helped escort Pitri through the crowd, now I’m going off-duty — she invited me to the Brewery. -Livie #

Hello friends,

Normally Karla posts here, but he’s been out of Port Outreach for quite some time.  He asked me to pass on his greetings to his friends, and to explain where he has been.  He unexpectedly had to leave to go to the passing-rituals for a friend of his who lived on the island of Berna, in the Archipelagos.  Karla stayed there for a week, as is their tradition, and because he is a friendly man, and well-versed in their language, they agreed to give him some limited access to their archives.  These are a people who have kept records back through every known phase of history, and before that, even.  They are also a people with a robust and delicious culinary tradition.  So for Karla it is like he is in what we Tellurians call “Heaven.”  Karla tells me he has chosen a particular tale, a history or a myth, he did not make it clear to me, that he is translating, that he will share once he returns to Port Outreach.   If you have anything particular in the way of special food stuffs that you would like him to bring back for you, please message me and I will ask him to get it for you.  He is not with steady access to the mesh, while he stays on Berna, but we are in contact every few days.

So, that is about Karla.  The other reason for my posting, is that while he has been gone the mediators have continued to work on identifying the poor Nagara who died so terribly.  As most of you know, my particular form of intimacy service is dream sharing.  Through the action of a special herb we smoke, and this unusual gift of mine, a dreamer and myself may have the same dream, and I in a mostly conscious state will fully remember it.  This is a useful way to get access to memory that is only partial, and to use the dream state to fill the memories in.  Of course, memories painted in this manner are not facts, but they can point to truth.

A cobbler came to see me, because he recognized the sandals in the photos posted some while ago.  He made them and has more pairs like them in his shop.  He could not remember who traded for them, though.  Once in the dream state, however, we saw a man come to the shop wearing a yellow sarong like the one found with the body.  This man traded a bottle of good drink for the sandals.  He wore a distinctive hat–very bright, and in fact I believe I have glimpsed this hat in waking life, perhaps at a festival or party.  I have made a sketch of the hat–forgive me, I am not an artist like my sweet Ruby. It is attached below.  Please, look at this and if you know who the wearer is (or was), let us know?  I do not think there could be many like it.

Thank you! - Stasia

• The word on the Mesh is Pitri and Mikasa will be at the Spindle on 2 Lo Night. We’ll need extra mediator presence in the area. -JH #
• Going to visit Cole and then take a nap. On duty later. -Splash #

Our guest for tonight’s Gurge Rider chat, Pitri Pretty-face, had unrecoverable difficulties with her emkay. My assistant has taken her to one of the best repair shops in town. We’re going to postpone the final installment of the Gurge Rider chat until tomorrow night, again at Under the Spindle.
Once again, Tellurians should join us on January 30 at 8pm EST on #UndertheSpindle on irc.newnet.net.
