week 7

[airlockedmods]

[For the first time in several weeks there is no new memorial in the garden. No new body in the morgue, no bloody mess for the roombas to clean. Choromatsu is still in need of time to heal and constant vigilance but he's alive. They're all alive for once on a Sunday and, even with the terrible realizations their returning memories may bring, there's a sense of hope for the first time in a long time.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[daughterofthemark]

Of course! There is so little else to read here, after all--

[Wait.]

Oh, no, I have been preventing you from finishing your book...

[goteachother]

Nonsense, honey! I didn't even know it was here.

Ooohhh I wanna ask ya all about it but then I also don' wanna know.

[A pause, her expression falters briefly.] Gosh before this place reading a book was the only way I could ever not know the end of a story before I got there.

[daughterofthemark]

I will not spoil you.

[SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE]

...that must have been awful, though. To never be able to be surprised by a play?

[goteachother]

[NO! I refuse to believe! Snape is pure and good.]

When you can see the whole story already in someone's head it's... real hard to be surprised by much.

[daughterofthemark]

[SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS, etc.]

You must have to take care not to meet any authors.

[goteachother]

My sister's actually... kind of dating one. Not that I know many others.

Newt writes educational books though, so there's no real plot reveals, y'know?

[daughterofthemark]

Oh! Then you could learn all he has written at once.

...though I feel that would take away from the experience.

[goteachother]

Oh I could see it sure but I couldn't remember it all like that. If I need a quick answer though I can just... take a peek. He don' like it when I read 'im though so I try not to. Much.

[daughterofthemark]

Then you would have all that information, but only so long as he was present and willing to accommodate you.

[goteachother]

Yeah, pretty much.

He's a Brit though so it's just easier checking the book mostly.

[daughterofthemark]

A... "Brit?"

[goteachother]

Mmm oh... right. [Not from her world.]

Britain is another country, across the ocean.

[daughterofthemark]

My! Then Sir Newt has traveled a long distance to see your sister.

[goteachother]

Oh honey you have no idea how long that story is.

He had to go back to turn in his manuscript and all but he travels all over. I give 'em six months before he whisks her away to Africa or something and then she'll never come home. [Its cheerful and amused but after she says it her smile falters briefly. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad... leaving with everyone. Letting Tina go off with Newt and she'll just... stay with Leonard and everyone.]

[daughterofthemark]

[She sees that!]

No, I'm certain she will come home. It... may no longer be home for her, but you are sisters.

[She hasn't had a sister for long but she's sure of this. She thinks Rii-san would agree.]

[goteachother]

Oh she'll keep in contact, I know she will. But... Teenie's a Thunderbird and he gives her adventure.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, going with all of you... as long as I could keep in touch with her.

[daughterofthemark]

We must be able to. If we can be taken from our homes and returned, sending messages must be possible.

[...right?]

[goteachother]

Especially if we can just... link to a fireplace or something.

[Because obviously the Floo Network expands into the future.]

[daughterofthemark]

A fireplace?

[Okay sad thoughts gone too busy being curious.]

[goteachother]

Mmmhmm... for firecalls. Or even flooing though that might be asking a bit much.

[daughterofthemark]

[The blankest of stares.]

[goteachother]

No-maj... right.

We have something called a Floo Network. It connects the fireplaces of Wizarding homes to a giant network so you can, add a little floo powder to the fire, think of where you want to go and then.. step in. Poof! You're walking out of the adjoining fireplace.

You can also converse fireplace to fireplace that way too.
