Hello! You have reached the message box for the monument project. Please feel free to leave a few names of anyone you knew who came to this world if you could. Alternately, if I have put down a name incorrectly or it is otherwise incomplete, feel free to let me know here as well. If you would like to know what names have currently been submitted, simply press 1 when prompted. Thank you for your interest in helping with this project!

[Today, the view is... of a rock. A very large rock, that has been carved into more of a slab, really. From the looks of the surroundings, it's not far from the entrance to Union Cave. And carved into the rock are... names.

After a moment, the video will turn to a grinning Asuma.

It took some time, but the monument has been made! I've taken the opportunity to write in as many names as I've gathered, but if anyone still wants to contribute, feel free to. I will be here for a while longer, so I don't mind adding a few more!

The stone itself is easy enough to carve into; anyone can add themselves. I've put up a sign to direct newcomers to it, so hopefully that will be enough.

[The background shifts suddenly as he takes a seat, leaning against the stone wall.]

So, what has everyone been up to as of late? I know that after this I plan to make a visit to Violet City!

[It's late at when Asuma's call goes out to anyone paying attention to their 'Gears. His voice is quieter, just in case.]

Hello. This is Asuma. I just thought I'd put out a message regarding the monument project. Due to the current circumstances, it will be delayed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

However, this also gives me more time to collect names. I've been trying to keep track of names mentioned over the network, but of course there is no way for me to gather them all by myself. If you have some spare time, please consider sending me a message with the names of anyone you knew during your stay here, whether or not they are still here. The goal is to collect as many names as possible and create a monument with all of them, as a mark of those who have passed through these routes!

[There is a pause.]

...That aside, I can't seem to fall asleep tonight. If any of you would like to chat, I'd be grateful. It can be about any topic you would like.

[In the meantime, he will be chilling in the common room! His Bellossom is accompanying him, as well as a very fluffy Mareep. Others around the house are free to simply talk to him in person.]

I may need to take a while off of work for a personal project. Would that be alright with you?

Hello! I have a few requests to make of everyone today. If you have any input at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

I've been thinking lately that it would be nice to have some sort of monument that could be easily reached by anyone who comes here. We could use it to keep a list of the names of those who have spent time in this world, as a sort of reminder. And if it were near New Bark Town, it would be a simple matter for newcomers to add their own names.

However, I can't do this on my own. It's been some time since I traveled the routes, so if anyone who has recently been through the area between, say, New Bark Town and Violet City could give me some advice on where to make such a monument, it would be extremely helpful. I will try to make my way back to do some looking around on my own, but if I were to have specific areas to check out, it would make the process much faster.

Secondly, I have not been here nearly as long as many of the people here, nor could I possibly know every person on the network. Therefore, if you would like to submit your name and those of the people you knew who have since left, I would be happy to add them to the list of names initially put on the monument.

And... that about covers it. Thank you for your time.

[It's late at night when the feed clicks on-- and there is a weary face from Asuma to accompany it. He speaks quietly, only too aware of the hour.]

Hopefully I'm not waking anyone who was already asleep. I seem to have woken up, and somehow I can't quite get back to it.

So instead of tossing and turning in bed... I thought I'd pose another question. Ah, but it's a little morbid, so if you don't want to discuss it, I would be happy to talk about other things instead.

[He pauses for a moment, choosing his words carefully.]

In your lives... how do you come to terms with your own mortality? It's something I had to come to terms with quickly in my own life due to circumstances, but I've become curious. All of us - well, no. Generalizations don't always work here, now do they? Most of us won't live forever. Some even come from dangerous backgrounds where the chance of survival is not especially high. How do you, personally deal with this?

[After these solemn words, he gives a slight chuckle.]

...Of course, it's late. I might even regret this question by the time morning comes properly. Ah, well. If you don't want to talk about dark things, answer me this instead: how are you, and what do you plan to do for the holidays?
