I tried to red pen the page I found, but it didn't stick.
[ also gives his two CYOA notes, which were w1 and w5. the note that's from today is: ]
The beauty and strength of the moon are not bound by Earthly rules. Where mortals wither and die within a few decades, the moon continues to shine brightly each and every night. Therefore mortal weapons are of no concern to the moon; guns and swords are all for naught under the pale moonlight.
This one was hooked on a beam of the boardwalk ferris wheel.
[So doesn't mention anything involving a seagull and how this page almost was lost. Her vibes are a tad awkward, but it's very faint.
In the unlikely event that the pages are scattered and lost, once they have been found they will once again return to the confines of the book. Making it whole again. It is only then that any changes can be made.
How easily heroes can be distracted with an enemy right before their eyes. What is one moon compared to two? Three, or even more? They may have as many moons as they like, each with the natural ability to affect gravity. But why stop there? An attack from afar will destroy their hopes just as well, without even letting them close.
[ some kind of small fox with what has been charitably called "an interesting expression" comes over with two pages in its mouth, which it drops on the floor and scoots over with its paw: ]
As these words are written on this page, the light of the moon shares its strength with the heroes below. They may use it, revel in it, master it, but they will never truly own it. These powers are born from the moon's light, and what is given can also be taken away. They will grow weaker and weaker, not understanding why their tools are being taken away. The heroes will fall, weak and lost, while the moonlight falls over them as bright as ever.
The moon's rulings and writings are immutable. What is written within these covers cannot be changed. No matter how much they struggle to find another way out, what is written must come to pass. Even heroes will act as the moon dictates, no matter how against their nature it would be. It is truth as long as it is written. The moon controls fate itself as long as it controls this book.
[ ok well hung is here later, after they have the rooms and stuff, and he's got moondust and dorm building debris in his fur and hair because he went back to go and dig out his shit from the ox dorm. but he's going to get cleaned up and then barge into the hotel kitchen if anyone wants him to make them anything. punts the cooks out. he's growling under his breath about whatever food he'd put in the slow cooker for overnight, probably.
alternatively he is just hanging out. in whatever spot we have decided is the communal spot. he's not going to get drunk the night before they have to fight the moon and some dude, but he will drinky drank some maybe. idk. i'm tired. ]
[ Everybody's out here prepping and being helpful but Hanako's just going to duckling behind Hung all night. He doesn't look worried at all; the vibes are more "little kid right before an intermural soccer game" ]
[While hanging out, Sigrun approaches, delivering him just one Norwegian waffle]
It's supposed to go well with a drink, so there you go. If it doesn't then who cares.
[Hung has spent two months feeding people left and right, might as well give him something back. Still, it's...one single waffle because she's not really in mood for cooking or trying anything more difficult than breakfast-level things.
Still, might as well keep him company for a while]
[first aid kits! get your first aid kits here. which is to say, at some point will takes the elevator and is gone for a few minutes, then comes back down with a whole metric fuckton of first aid kits and pharmacy bags.
he can be found in one of the common areas of the hotel sorting through them, making sure each one is properly kitted out with the stuff that normally comes in a first aid kit but also with extra stuff that he's been raiding the pharmacies for during the week. it's fine. keeping his hands busy like this keeps him from thinking too much about fighting the moon. multiple moons? whatever.
he will provide anyone who wants one with a first aid kit to take with them. it will be kitted out with things for wound care, but also other things you can get in pharmacies without a prescription.]
You don't plan to stay awake for long tonight, do you? Don't think it as nagging even though it totally is, it's just advice.
[Just like two months ago, when they talked for the first time, she's once again trying to stop him from exerting himself too much, because by now she wouldn't be surprised if Will sacrifices some rest for the sake of preparation. At least the emotionshare doesn't display annoyance, it really is all concern for Will. The kid is hardworking and she hopes he'll be fine]
[ jolyne is just going to make herself useful wherever people need a second set of hands. getting extra blankets from housekeeping? it's happening. bringing out some food from the kitchen? you bet, she's setting down trays of whatever hung happens to be making or is making sure people are eating up after such an insane day.
eventually she'll be prepping her small bag for tomorrow, and is just curled up in a lobby chair listening to some music with some headphones while scrolling through her phone. occasionally she makes a face, quietly underlying anxiety rippling out after the conversation regarding team leaders likely being against them all tomorrow.
she's not going to get super wasted or anything tonight, but she is going to have a beer from the hotel bar or something, nursing a big can of sapporo back in a lobby chair, staring out the windows quietly with an unwavering sensation of just alertness as she watches, even betwene sips. since she literally only got to get up in her pjs or whatever that sure is all she's wearing - just her sleep shorts and a shirt that's way too big. but she has a hotel blanket kind of cocooned around her to help. ]
[Sigrun sits beside Jolyne at some point during the night, once she's with her can of beer. Her vibes are, probably unsurprisingly, exactly the same as usual: a lot of energy packed in here 24/7. Sigrun is experienced enough the upcoming encounter doesn't phase her much. She's just thinking it as once another hunting expedition, helps to be thinking of it like that]
You better not be planning to be on the lookout all night.
[It's for a reason those tend to be turns of two hours or so: overdoing it is dangerous. Still, it's not like she's scolding Jolyne, it's more of an observation]
[ rita's spending much of the evening hovering where the pages are being collected.
later, she's seated cross-legged on a lounge chair, flipping through her notes and studying them as if hoping for some new revelation to come from it. it doesn't look like she's relaxing much tonight. ]
[Robin will be in the lobby with her favorite notebook and pen in hand. She's very happy she decided to grab a bag from the mall before everything happened so she has a place to put her things in. She will be drinking water and will have some of the food from the hotel around her. Mostly she'll be hanging out in the communal area sitting back in one of the chairs as she tries to relax and get some sleep or really just try to relax in general without slipping back into living off of coffee and three hours of sleep.]

Argalia's got ours, but it kinda sounds like we might not be able to make any changes until the competition is officially over.
