Hey, Ferox, found these near a shack up around Level 32. Looked like it used to be a nice place, but totally torn to pieces—recent, too. Furniture smashed, larder broken into, the works. You're interested in this kind of thing, right? This book was in the shed nearby. —Yubi


SUMMER 1, DAY 1
Hello, diary! I think you're a diary anyways, aren't you? I found you on a yellowjacket near the Lava Maze. You were empty, so I assume you're meant to be written in. Or maybe you were written in invisible ink? Is that a thing? I don't think invisible ink sounds very useful, but I'm not a jacket.

I haven't had anyone to talk to in a while. Not in a long while. The jackets don't say much, and this guy was already dead, I think—still moving, but, you know, slower. I guess 'undead' is the term. If they were undead. It's hard to tell this close to the fence.

Anyways, I'm gonna use you as a diary, if that's okay. I'm also not going to keep talking to you like you're an actual person, I promise, I just really need someone to talk to right now. I feel like I'm losing my mind up here.

SUMMER 1, DAY 2
Hello, diary!

Quiet day today. It’s quiet a lot around here. Not really anything happened. I thought I saw some yellowjackets over by the temple. I wonder if there’s a new group moving in? That could be trouble, I guess. Awfully close to home.

I’m worried about the rosebush. I hope it’s okay. The pot was knocked over during the fight with the skeleton and oh yeah I guess a skeleton wandered by and tried to kill me. I broke its spine with the good chair. The jerk’s skull bit my finger!

SUMMER 1, DAY 5
Yeah. Yeah. there’s jackets in the area, alright. I found a couple hobgoblins dead nearby. Burns, arrows. A mage and an archer. Crud. I really don’t want to deal with YJs right now. I had to scoop the soil back into the rosebush’s pot, and I think I got some Wilderness dirt mixed in with the good compost. The rosebush better not be sick.

I should probably go see what the hobgoblins can tell me tomorrow. Guthix, I’m just… I’m freaking tired lately. What is going on with this year? First that ankou incident, then a wild dog kills two of my chickens, now my rosebush!

SUMMER, DAY 6
I whittled a duck today!

It’s what I think a duck looks like. They’re like chickens with big flat bills, right? I spent all day on it. It looks so cool! I’m gonna put it on the dresser so everyone who visits can see it. Not that I, like, get visitors, but if I did, boy, they’d love the heck out of this duck. I needed a day like this!

I think I saw that thing on the dresser. Does not look like a duck. I thought it was some obscure Slayer monster. —Yubi

SUMMER, DAY 8
We had some wind today! It's nice to feel a breeze. Nautilus got really excited at the windchimes. So did I, kinda! What a cool thing to wake up to.

Speaking of wind, though, I think one of the shutters is breaking. I should try and fix it up tonight.

If you want your character to appear in this story (and possibly die horribly, because, y'know, Wilderness), use the following bio format:

Name: [What's their name? How do they introduce themselves?]
Appearance/Gear: [What do they look like? Hair color? Voice? Outfit? Weapons or tools?
Purpose: [Why are they in the Wilderness?]
Personality: [What's their deal? Are they kind? Blunt? What would they do if they found a rabbit caught in a snare?]

SUMMER, DAY 10
I went and talked to the hobgoblins. Geo says there’s three jackets: Two mages and an archer. Tough. Maybe the same group my probably-zombie was from (I mean before he probably-died). The YJs weren’t after the hobgoblins, Geo says, but the hobgoblins tried their luck anyways. Hobgoblins are okay, but territorial as heck, and vicious, too. Kinda skewer-first-ask-questions-later.

Also, we had a funny misunderstanding and I have a spearhead lodged in my leg right now. Trying not to think about it. I don’t have the gear on hand to really treat it, but once I’m done writing I’m gonna try to pull the thing out. If I bleed out and someone finds this diary, please feed my chickens and get the bees to safety.

SUMMER, DAY 11
Okay, so I didn’t bleed out last night. So... I guess if you broke into my home last night somehow, and found this diary, and read the last entry, you don't have to worry anymore about taking care of the chickens and stuff. I got it. Assuming you didn't already do it, and if you did, thanks! I think. But I don't think it's very likely. It'd also be really weird for you to get the chance to read this thank-you, so, um, okay, nevermin

It still hurts really bad. I hope I don’t die because of a misunderstanding. Dumb infections. I carved a crutch out of the dead tree growing outside for the time being. Hobbling around like this, I'd be easy prey, so I'm trying to finish my outside errands quicker than usual and skipping my sunrise walks.

The chickens were making a huge ruckus this morning. I went out into the mist but didn’t see the cause of it. Bella and Fairy were fine; I think Nautilus was the one who started the commotion. She’s so jumpy. But most people are, this high up in the Wildy. People get nervous. Their heads get wild. They start seeing blades in the grass and bows in the trees. Most people spend their whole time up here scared out of their minds—and they head down south as quick as their legs can bear them.

Not me, though.

I'm still here.

My leg's wound has basically closed up, and I feel a little better, maybe. Had to deal with a rev imp that made it out of the caves and was wandering around. Luckily, I got the jump on it. It was mumbling about, rustling through some rubble, and I raced up and gave it a good solid smack over the head with my crutch. I got some onyx bolt tips! If only I knew how to enchant these things...
