[somnia] lore round-up.

Immediate importance and points of caution:
- City map.
- Medical attention is available at Columbia University.
- Underground is an epicenter of Host infestation. (Since this warning, the destruction of some tunnels has caused more Hosts to move to the surface.) Avenues of escape off Manhattan Island have been destroyed; what we've been able to observe of the mainland suggests the rest of the world is doing no better, however.
- Sex causes tethers. Be cautious. Or don't. Whatever.



General information about the state of the world:
- A census (voluntary, ergo incomplete) of those who have been brought her and their abilities, as well as some inquiries into the logic (or lack thereof) regarding what abilities people have gained and lost. May be useful for those seeking advice on their new forms and powers.
- Biological analysis of the infected wildlife (interpretation from Jayce) suggests something completely outside of life as this world knows it. Maria is conducting further research.
- If Sleep gets what she's after, her influence -- and thus the threat -- will be able to reach beyond this world, into those we've come from.



Ciphers/puzzles from the locals:
- from Espera.
- from Three.



Encounters with Sleep:
Preserved here primarily to give those inclined to reach out an idea of what to expect.
- Ivan makes first(?) contact.
- what Sleep wants, courtesy of Sharon.
- Kalmiya fucks around and finds out. If you want to provoke Sleep, this is proof of why you may wish to reconsider. Kalmiya is willing to take further inquiries, provided you're not an asshole about it.



Journal entries from previous survivors:
Preparations made, date undetermined.

T plus 28 days: spread of new life forms.

Ending approaches, date undetermined.

Unplaced:
- to gaze upon the moon is to die.

One's memories?:
- Eden.
- Not worthy.
- You can rest in me. (Contains implications of suicidal intent.)
- She is a leash.
- You don't understand.
- It's always about you.
- Where did you go.
- I have you.
