☼ a song of hope of light to tomorrow

[shamagaladin]

[Med'an woke up repeating the message left for them by Richard Grey outloud. He's back in Mayfield, in his nice bed, in his nice house. It barely registers. The first thing he does is write down what he remembers

Comments

[passes_out]

[He certainly pays close attention to the message and jots down a few notes in his book.]

Assuming that this was the last message, how did it survive the switchboard? I am curious how the message was saved through the destruction of Westport. I assume that it was pre-recorded though why only this last message was saved....causes me to want to believe Mr. Grey's message.

[Now it clicks who Richard Grey is since he's heard the name from the Westport transmissions.]

The last survivor leaves one final message but who was the girl and what of those in the bio-suits?

[shamagaladin]

I don't know. I don't even know if it was from a telephone, or...something else... [...] Can telephones do that? Save messages? ...and....turn on while we're asleep...?

[Pause.]

One of those Bibles came back with me. It has drawings of a girl on it. And -

[passes_out]

And?

[He waits patiently for a response.]

I am...now curious about another matter. Did you see Richard Grey himself or did you hear him over the radio? Perhaps I am not getting a clearer picture on the matter.

[shamagaladin]

There was a drawing of a girl somewhere else, too...on the sidewalk near one of the houses. She was wearing a crown...

[But that's all the info he has on that. He moves on to the next topic.]

The only people other than us were those men in suits. None of them were Richard Grey....were they?

[kimitoaruiteku]

Med'an? You okay? [Checking on all his friends.]

[shamagaladin]

I think so. I don't remember how I got back, though.

[kimitoaruiteku]

The good thing is you're back.

[shamagaladin]

[:3]

And Luke should be back, too - he was sick, but I cured him. At least, I think I did...

[angelic_meister]

I'm glad someone managed to remember the message.

[shamagaladin]

I think I might have forgotten a bit of it already. But that should be the important parts.

Where you in Westport too?

[angelic_meister]

Yeah. I guess I should probably announce what I found soon.

[shamagaladin]

You found something? What is it?

[grey_of_heart]

[Gabriel listens to the words, intent.]

[His words are quiet, an underlying tone of anger beneath them.]

What was that?

[shamagaladin]

I heard it in my head. It sounded like...like a telephone, almost. [A person on a telephone, that is.] I thought it might be important.

[grey_of_heart]

Yeah. It is. I think it is.

[A long pause.]

Perhaps this is Mayfield's future. Maybe... maybe if you die here for good maybe we go back.

[He hoped not. Mayfield was the lesser of two evils, as much as he hated to admit it.]

[shamagaladin]

[You sound sad. :( ]

Mayfield's future? [he remembers that event...] ...go back...home?

[hourai_branch]

...I think someone said Evan might have been Grady, right?

[shamagaladin]

....What?! Grady....Police Chief Grady?!

[hourai_branch]

It was that girl with the monotone voice who said that.

[shamagaladin]

The girl with the monotone.....Yuki?
