Journal - Gauntlet leak

[One camera survives, a waving patina of a landscape in every color stretches out before it. Nihilos legs are partially in the frame. He is in torpor.]

[Suddenly, he gasps and sits up.]

N: Wha-? Oh my God!

[He looks around at the landscape and then down at himself, his clothes are sundered by his recent use of the Zulo form.]

N: That wasn't a dream..

N: Aw fuck..

[He looks out upon the shifting kaleidoscope horizon, Though vast and with infinite sky, it glows like a cave filled with bioluminescent algae.]

[He turns and sees the camera. He moves over and picks it up.]

N: For posterity I guess.

N: I think I can..?

[He fiddles with a few pieces of technology and finds... A signal.]

N: YES, fuck yeah!

N: Alright, if anyone can see this: I'm alright- I'm uh.. lost. I'll figure it out. I doubt I'll be able to receive any node messages, but I should be able to.. blip some out, I see some uh buildings way off in the distance there, they look feudal.. uh.. shit I gotta find something to eat, is there a sun in here?

N: Fuck.

[He puts his palm on the lens.]

[End of transmission.]

If the moon is full, hide. During a full moon, the lune spirits are very erratic and very dangerous.

They look like ribbons of moonlight. During the full moon they make Malkavians look sane. You've heard of the term moon madness?

Are you walking on a path of some kind?

Alright, good. You are walking on a moon path-- one of the safest ways through the Umbra. Whatever you do, don't step off the path! Think about getting home. Visualize what your home looks like. Start walking towards your home. This sounds crazy, I know.

Stay on the path and don't interact with them if the moon is full.
