It Only Gets Worse From Here
I'm pretty satisfied if the update is, "Do this one thing, then Hazou messes around according to autopilot priorities."

[X] Devouring Daiji
- Hazou does not use chakra unless necessary to preserve his continued existence. Chakra is a precious resource and ought to be conserved, and we are in the afterlife (death = irrelevant).
- Hazou attempts to grab Daiji's escaping memories, and attempts to absorb some of his knowledge of the afterlife, the way that he said you could absorb chakra from shimmers.
- Hazou memorizes/attempts to map out the location, taking note of where he is and the possible location of the original rift site (read: find a source of water) in addition to the shimmers and area where the settlement could be.
- Hazou goes to the settlement.

[X] Action Plan: First Steps
@Sir Stompy I'd like to start fishing for plot hooks, can we ask around about Jiraiya/Akane (and when we get nothing, other settlements) when we get into town?
I'm also committing to vote against plans which have us loot either the memories or corpse of the dead until we have a better grasp on what this world's culture looks like. Maybe it's totally cool, or maybe it's a mortal sin. The upside is minimal: the world is not so deadly that civilians can't survive, meaning that we can probably forgo whatever incremental advantage we'd get by sucking up his knowledge of the afterlife, and someone on their way to for-real kill themselves still took 15 minutes out of their day to tell us how stuff works. It's only one data point, but I expect everyone else is going to be equally-happy to share their knowledge if we're polite and don't start immediately ranting about how we need to get out of here. As for the downside, showing up wearing a dead guy's shoes (or with his memories in our head) in a presumably tight-knit community seems like a great way to blow a default-friendly interaction.

I was thinking we'd do a whole update in town, rather than trying to cram too much into it I thought I'd wait to get there before doing this.

Nah I'd rather avoid this until we better understand what's going on. We have no real desire for Deji's memories in particular. Just ask somebody in town.

Our general intention is not to explicitly ban research, but to:
- Try to design problems that don't require research to interact with, and
- Not go out of our way to lift the existing natural barriers to research that exist in the afterlife.
[X] Devouring Daiji
- Location
- The Maple Syrup Mountains
Once we get a supply of sealing-grade ink we should hike back up the mountain and hide a reserve near our spawn point, so that when we die and respawn we'll be able to use the paper that respawns with us to make seals immediately.
Is it the same place each time? There are so many unknown unknowns

It was the same place for Daizen each time, but I suppose if it matters at all (i.e. if we start repeatedly dying and wishing to get back into things quicker) then we'll soon gather data on the topic.

We've gone full circle.
MfD is now once again a roguelike.
Well, technically a roguelite.

I guess we'll see how tough it is to get from A to B, then - my impression was that the journey probably wouldn't take an entire update but I guess we'll see?
@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped can you give us an idea as to whether 'slurp up the visible Shimmers, get to town' is enough plan content for a full update or if we should be specifying more?
He was also dying in the same place. So it could easily be that you respawn where you die (unfortunate for you lol)
