VL121R | Text | Night 20

[meadqueen]

Zam is gone. I do not know what happened - she was here last night, but no one has seen her since. Some of her items remain here, but her call sign has disappeared.

Comments

[meadqueen]

I think they do disappear when people die, but I'm not positive.

[She’d noticed Shaw’s missing but hasn't one hundred percent confirmed she was dead then]

I suppose you're right, though. We don't know how the magic works.

[sharktrash]

We should try to confirm it.

[ Which means, watch the network while he goes on the raft adventure, love! Since they're probably going to die. Oops. ]

[meadqueen]

[Okay FINE she will supervise your stupid death - you're lucky that acting like this is really Norse so she's used to it]

We will see. How is your group faring in this? With the lightning I've been worried.

[sharktrash]

[ That's all he's asking for! And maybe a duel sometime in the future. ]

[ And oh boy, she has sure opened the floodgates. ]

Not great, but nobody's dead yet

Somebody was following us. I can tell u more when we get there [ just in case said STALKER is reading his messages because that's definitely a sane thing to expect!! ] but we found some shelter

Haven't seen a lot of lightning close to us, it's just raining really hard

And uh

Shit's falling from the sky? I saw a tire roll by and K mentioned a bigass statue just dropping down next to him, he's lucky to be alive

[meadqueen]

A statue? Of what?

[Is the storm bad enough that it's picking up random things in unexplored parts of the island and throwing them around?]

I’m glad you're all alive. Be vigilant. Hopefully we will see all of you back here safely soon.

[sharktrash]

Some kinda bird

Is that really important

[ Randvi is glad he's alive... telling him to be vigilant... yeah, VINDICATION! He closes his eyes and breathes for a moment. He's got this. Yeah. ]

I am. If anybody tries anything they'll have me to deal with

[meadqueen]

If it was thrown by the storm from elsewhere on this or a nearby island, it may.

Or it might

Something landed near me when I was looking for Zam that belongs to Senku. Someone here could know what it is.

[A mystery for later, probably]

It’s a relief to hear. Thank you.

[sharktrash]

Ok I can take a better look once the rain lets up

[ hold on a moment ]

You went outside in this??

[ he'll swoon over that "thank you" a little later, because what the fuck Randvi ]

And you gave ME shit for hurling myself at danger

[meadqueen]

Zam disappeared! I couldn't leave her alone out there.

[sharktrash]

[ Damn, does she still want to feel responsible for everyone? He has to respect that, even if he thinks it's bloody stupid. ]

You would have left a whole lot more people alone had you died, you know? She left on her own, that's on her.

[meadqueen]

She wouldn't have done that, not without a reason and certainly not without her shoes.

Besides, Senku would have

[A break. She hadn't actually told Senku what she was doing before rushing out into the storm]

Perhaps you're right. I was so worried.

[sharktrash]

I get that. But you should pick your battles, yeah?

Bet Senku was worried too when you took off like that.

[ Wow, what is this? He's sounding reasonable somehow?? ]

Just know I'll be mad if you die before I get back ;)

[meadqueen]

Thank you. I’ll do my best.

[ichoosefight]

That fits the pattern. I think Sameen's disappeared when she died.

[ SORRY SHAW but also, not really sorry. ]

[meadqueen]

She died again?

[Somehow the disapproving tone is apparent even through text]

I’d wondered if that was what happened.

[ichoosefight]

I don't think she wants people knowing about it, but it's a pretty relevant detail.

[meadqueen]

Was it the same thing? That person at the cabin?

[ichoosefight]

She didn't say. I have to believe she isn't THAT reckless, even if she doesn't care about her own life even a little bit.

[meadqueen]

I was concerned when she sent us that warning. She said that they were protecting their territory from her.

[ichoosefight]

A reasonable person would try talking to the guy instead of intentionally provoking him a third time.

Then again that was also Det. Cohle's plan

[meadqueen]

She did talk to him, but I don't think it helped.

[It has to have been bad for her to have called it in

And honestly, the less said about the detective the better]

I don't think that person did this. After the threats he made I doubt he'd have left some of us unharmed.

[ichoosefight]

[ Agreed. ]

I don't know. It's mostly a gut feeling, but I don't think he's really interested in a murder spree. I think he just wants to be left alone.

I guess she'd probably answer if we asked outright...?

[meadqueen]

Perhaps we have crossed some unstated boundary without knowing. When she called, she seemed concerned about where we were.

[ichoosefight]

True. I think I crossed a lot of boundaries by being worried about her. It's not really a two-sided friendship.

[meadqueen]

Yes, some people are more accustomed to working alone.

You scared many people when you threatened to risk your life.
