[Text message to Benji S.]

So, I have to go to this fundraiser for the Las Vegas ACLU weekend after next. My firm bough tickets, and it's going to be fun, I think. Do you maybe want to go with me?

[Text to Felicia F.]

So, if a guy sends you flowers and asks to see you again, it's good, right?

( For Felicia F )

( For Pepper Potts )

Has anyone had their Alters invade their dreams? Or influence them? Or am I the oddity in all of this?

[As Violet H. Messy, young scrawl that is decidedly ungirlish.]

Is anyone else dead? Because it really sucks, especially when no one new comes around.

My, my.

My young master certainly has been quite a busy little thing since I've been absent. It is quite the relief to be "home", so to speak.

So happy to see you again, Las Vegas. Being cooped up in my apartment was miserable.

So, who needs a lawyer in need of a new project? I'm thinking of taking on more pro-bono hours.

Dear Ms. Sullivan,

Thank you so much for your services. The man who attacked me has been removed, so there will be no further need for your services. Please accept this check for services rendered and a bonus for your hard work.

A sealed courier envelope is delivered to Ben's home. The envelope contains a cashier's check for $50,000 and a note

Dear Ben,

Thank you so much for everything. The police informed me today that the man who attacked me was found dead in a hotel room over the weekend. Please accept this for your time as well as a bonus. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance.

Lizzy

I worry that I had to tell the voice in my head we can't go see the dead body.

I understand it was customary in her day but still.

For anyone wishing to venture to Passages today, please be careful when you first arrive. There is a rather surprising and unnecessary scene in the lobby and I'm not sure when or how it will be cleaned up. For those of you with a weak stomach, I would advise against visiting the hotel for the moment.

[Text: Silver/Tony]

If you aren't at the hotel, someone trashed the lobby. There's a lot of blood.

[Text: Lizzy/Felicia's phone]

Please steer clear of the hotel for a while. There's a bit of a mess in the lobby.

Just so you are aware, the lobby of Passages has been turned into a rather disgusting scene. It smells rancid and there is a great deal of blood. I'm not sure how squeamish you are. Does anyone know a ballerina

[Locked: Wren M/Pepper P]

Ms. Maheu,

My name is Pepper Potts. I'm reachingg out to you on Felicia's behalf to both see how you're doing and to let you know that the hotel lobby is in a bit of a state. She didn't want you to be surprised if you chose to come to the hotel today.

Thanks,
Pepper

[Text to Lizzy R, directly following this]

As soon as I have your address, I'll be on my way there.

[Texts to Dani S and Benji S]

I was given your contact information by Felicia, and I would very much like to get with you and discuss some protection work.

Dr. Adam,

Thank you again for all that you have done, not just for me, but for everyone. Las Vegas needs more men like you.

Fondly,
Lizzy the Lawyer

PS. I think I owe you lunch now.

I have never been more tired of sitting in one place in my life. As much as I love my apartment, I would kill to be able to go somewhere - anywhere - right now.

[Text to Felicia F]
Hey, so are you busy Saturday night? I thought maybe we could do something. I'd offer to take you somewhere nice, but I am kind of on house arrest due to this whole concussion thing.

[Public, posted anonymously]
I'm looking for someone from the party the other evening. A rather lovely girl in a white dress, with dark hair. We shared a dance and a kiss. I said I would find her, and I am attempting to. If you're there, please do respond.

[Locked to Micah C]
It's quite possible you're not speaking to me, but I wanted to check on you after the affair the other evening.

[Locked to Elias M & Sherlock Holmes]
I'm to ask after the blood.

Sent about 6pm

Rita's husband came by my office. Managed to get past security.

Who knew Las Vegas would end up being less stressful than going through the door?

[Locked: Wren M/Felicia F]

She's completely shut me out.  The best I can do is try to be there whenever he is, but I doubt that will do much good.

[From Jonathan C., the evening after this]

[His writing is very precise, clean and small, written with in fine point black ink]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that those of you stuck in Las Vegas are lacking in a certain amount of... class.

[The following is written in black ink, with a borderline illegible script. It's the writing of a man who so to speak, did not give a fuck what Sister Edward Michael Joseph said about his handwriting.]

These things should come with manuals. There's only so much piecing together one can do about reading these things. Do the voices you all hear take over that often? It's made me a bit more thankful that mine doesn't talk much unless it's about that damned door.

Ignore the above question and let's get a more serious one. I'm out of reading material and the only books in the Venetian's store, I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Where's a good old fashioned Annie's? Hell, I'll take a Barnes and Noble even.

Seeing as the invitations are pouring in, if we go through a door that belongs to someone else, who goes? Us or our dashing alter egos?
