[... Well. At least it wasn't an entire month this time, though Dominic's far from pleased at the situation. He sighs.]

I can't tell if my timing was perfect or the opposite, but it seems I've a lot to catch up on. Would anyone mind filling me in on what happened here during the past few weeks while I was out? This place is a mess...

[He takes in a breath, before letting it out, sounding rather tired—but not from fatigue, grogginess, or anything of that sort.]

Looks like a lot of people disappeared as well. Minami, Miss Sharon, Break... It's funny. After two years, I thought I'd gotten entirely used to this, but... I guess this place always has a way of surprising you, no matter how long you've been here, huh?

[A pause]

It's not like it'll reach him, and I doubt that he'd have appreciated the sentiment either way, but...

[He closes his eyes for a moment, before smiling. It's only been a short while since he woke up, but even a second is enough to know that he'll truly and honestly miss the man.]

Thank you, Break—for everything.

[filtered to anemone]

I'm sorry I wasn't around. Were you fine on your own?

Comments

[soulsymmetrical]

Yes. It occurred about two weeks ago.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Must've been right after I fell asleep, then... Would you mind telling me about it?

[soulsymmetrical]

Not at all.

[hm...where to begin.]

Do you recall the two strange...ghosts—for lack of a better term—that were here before?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

The black one and white one, right? So they're not here anymore?

[soulsymmetrical]

They're not. They disappeared during the flood. [he's going to have to explain that a bit, huh.]

First there had been a strange, heavy black rain that started on Friday. The black one in particular behaved rather strangely during this time. The water then rose up to eight stories on Saturday and remained until that following Wednesday. The water broke through the barrier and emptied out into the sinkhole, where a large whirlpool now exists.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... I see. That would explain the damage, definitely.

But what do you mean, the black one behaved strangely?

[soulsymmetrical]

She actually came inside the barrier and was dancing around outside in the rain...singing.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

That's... odd. Singing anything in particular, or...?

[soulsymmetrical]

I have a recording of it I could send to you if you'd like, but are you familiar with the rain song?

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... Yes. I'm familiar with that rhyme.

However, if you could still send me the recording, I'd appreciate it.

[soulsymmetrical]

Of course.

[and because these new Dreamberries are like the smartphones, he can talk and do stuff at the same time.]

It was a bit like that, only different and more...menacing. Looking back, one could argue she was predicting our fate. Or what she hoped, anyway.
