Re: Anna Monday - Malin

During week 2 Anna got rather upset because Bakura's overlay was being a butt.
More might happen but I haven't been able to thread much yet.

Solution 1: Use your shards to show any one intruder surrendering their life. They will take on a form similar to Anna Monday, effectively dying and allowing Elsewhere magic to infuse their shattered, restless soul.
Solution 2: Use your shards to show the outline of your missing arms, a crow, and a forest. Someone must steal the crows' cache of seaglass bits stolen from Anna Monday, in a tree hollow in the Forest, and avoid being murdered by crows. Beware, crows tell their friends about targets, and crows are everywhere. All these seaglass bits will help Anna Monday recover its arms and a few memories of when it was human.
Solution 3: Use your shards to show an image of Alayne's face and the words "come with". Finding her might shed light on its true identity and help it find peace.
Solution 4: Something else you think might work, or combination of the last two!

Also tbh I'm making up the sign language according to what feels right in the situation and that makes play a lot easier for me, I'd really appreciate if I could just be trusted with creating the sign language on the spot. And if there's something that should absolutely be done or not be done, you could just tell me so here?
Solution 3 and 2 will definitely be offered, I am honestly not clear on why it would want to create more of itself so I doubt that Solution 1 will come up. Is it okay if I offer different options to different people, or does it have to be one big prompt for for everyone?
no subject
Yes and yes; I had originally just wanted to leave sign language up to you, but then I... second-guessed myself and got scared that I wasn’t giving enough guidance. Whatever you think works best to get the messages across. Choose whichever options you want, but it has to be one big prompt for everyone on the rescue team. They can all see it, and they will have to come to a consensus on which to choose.
no subject
Okay, cool. I'll think on how to do it then.
Do you need any information from me ahead of time?
Also I did slightly more detailed descriptions of the lake and surroundings while threading with Red, could I incorporate them into the description of it? I assume that'll go up on the post?

"The Uncanny Valley's dense wall of plants form into a tunnel path. A wind picks up as the trees give way to scenic cliffs surrounding a deep lake. The skies overhead are thick with stormy clouds that are just a bit too violet to be real. The lake is strangely filled with the water-logged wrecks of cars in the rocking waves. Shards of glass from their broken windows float on the water. There are no Fairy Circles on land; they are all underwater.
Modern things like cars usually don’t feature in a Fae's domain, which suggests a human origin. Anna Monday has never been seen eating, sleeping, or anything else a living thing does to survive... It's time to call in an expert, but most EU staff know about Fae, not ghosts--except Fennel, the IT guy and expert on all things weird.
Anna Monday's been having a rough time lately, and its corner of the Elsewhere has grown unstable along with it. Without warning, the shards of glass begin flying towards the rescuers, circling back like boomerangs for multiple hits. The car wrecks come to life, honking and plowing towards shore like captain-less boats to run over anyone on land. And there is Anna Monday itself, rising out of the water. It will want payment for the perceived crime of invading its territory. Its bits of worn seaglass form into a message... The RA will want the official rescuers' vote on which of its options to choose.

About additional descriptions.
no subject
I'm currently adding some of your description to the upcoming mingle. Since I work tomorrow, it'll probably go up before I have a chance to comment here with the final description, but:
"A wind picks up as the tunnel opens into a great basin with a lake. The skies overhead are thick with stormy clouds that are just a bit too violet to be real. The lake's opaque surface is filled with water-logged wrecks of strangely mud-free cars in the rocking waves. Shards of glass from their broken windows float on the water. There are no Fairy Circles on land; they are all underwater. Defying the laws of physics, the underwater is crystal clear, it is impossible to tell up and down, and the lake bottom is as easy to walk on as through air.
Modern things like cars usually don’t feature in a Fae's domain, which suggests human influence. But Anna Monday has never been seen doing anything a human does to survive, not even after hours of observation... It's time to call in an expert, but most EU Involved know about Fae, not ghosts--except Fennel from the IT department, expert on all things weird.

It will want payment for the perceived crime of invading its territory. During a lull in the storm, its bits of worn seaglass form into a message. Asking for retrieval of its missing seaglass bits is expected, but what does it want with Alayne? The RA will ask opinions on what to do."

So after finding out that the crows are kinda peeved at him for giving those shards back, he's gonna find out that the crows believe that if Anna keeps hanging around, her realm is going to start invading the mundane world, flying glass and all. He'll be going back to her to tell her that and suggest that if she wants to keep her shards/stay alive, she'd best move back to the other side of things.

Once I tag back the other oneno subject
Re: Anna Monday - Malin
She will also help Tachibana retrieve some friends (Sayoko, Hajime, and potentially maybe Kitty's overlay will tag along) at the end of week two.
And afterwards Dream-Eater will tell her that the crows want her to stay in the Elsewhere.

Re: Anna Monday - Malin
If you want them to interact, or want him to directly try to mess with her territory, I'm happy to plot.
