The universe is certainly trying to tell us something. If only it would be clearer! xD
[@.Sei] Progress could be anything from minutes to hours (more 504/502s so staff are doing something), but we've been assured it will still be OK tomorrow for those of us who need to sleep soon!
[@.Sei] I think it's supposed to be within an hour or so, but they may be having some issues getting it out. I guess we'll see.
But it should still be available tomorrow, if you have other things to do.
I'm not sure if this is for the plot or not, but I found some items that go along with the whole Sea thing.

What was the question?
Sung in the voice of Dory: Just keep waiting, just keep waiting, just keep waiting.
I believe those are the challengers from the old plot with the pirates and the Omen Islands.
I figured they were just bringing them back for Keelhauliday, but it could be plot related maybe.
Are you telling me that it took us about four days to get up the mountain, but only an hour to run down it? We done goofed in that temple.

Gravity? :P
But yeah IDK, plot time is whatever the writers want it to be I guess.
I don't find them in Subetalodge, but just checked SS and it says battle loot. I sure hope we don't have to battle again soon. LOL It very well could be for Keelhauliday though. I keep "trying" to forget there are other things coming up. :P

I'm so curious! I noticed the altar with the crystals had Merana on it, and now the water's getting stormy outside... Maybe she's coming for her sacrifice?
Yeah they are new items, but the images are based on previous challengers. I don't remember all of the names though.
They are likely for Keelhauliday, although I think we do have at least one more battle challenger coming. There were 3 other unreleased battle loot items put in the directory earlier on in the plot.
Guess all those running shoes and high-heels are finally paying off.
No. Merana is just having some IBS problems. ): Have you ever farted very hard under water? That's pretty much what happened to her.

I noticed the script and translated it as well. Merena is also painted on the steps below the crystal.
Hope the next plot thing is suitably interesting... Good night all!
:)
So, has Merana always said that bit about a trapped beast?
Apologies if someone else has already pointed this out.
I think she has, but I don't visit her enough to really know.
Although someone else pointed out that it's also mentioned in her bio for the Subetapedia, so I'm assuming it's not a new thing. They're finally uncovering a bit more of the lore that's always existed but hasn't been explored.
So... Can we has more updates?
