I can't be here right now. I need to go back. There are things happening back home. Important things. I need to be there, not here. I need to check on the others and I need to go back home to do that because that's the only way I can check on them since they aren't here. So I need to go back.

Oh! And there's zombies here now. There aren't supposed to be zombies. Or mummies, either. That's unnatural.

Okay. Enough is enough. I know I'm not the only person in this city that this gas can't hurt and I definitely know I'm not the only one of us who is bothered by the amount of people - local and non-local alike - who are being hurt by it. So to quote a pretty amazing, tiny Antichrist the way I see it, it's time for a plan.

( Cut to spare the friends list. )

Raven. Steph. Your monkey took my Boostex. I want it back. It's mine. Not his. He needs to come out of the vent and give me back my Boostex because it's mine, not his, and he can't just take it because it's mine.

It's snowing. It's snowing and it's July. I know it's July because all of the digital calendars say so. They say July 25, 2012. But there's snow. There's not supposed to be snow in July, not even here. Because the weather here is like the weather in the United States and my mom says it only snows in the winter in the United States. Not summer. July is in the summer. That means it should be hot. So there shouldn't be any snow.

And oh, yeah. My feet are cold. I'm not dressed for the snow. I want to go back into the library. It was warm in there.

There are people coming. They're very angry. They shouldn't be that angry but they are and they're coming. In big groups. They're spreading around the city. They're going to different places where we all stay.

Coming for us. That's what they're saying. They're coming for us because we're freaks and they want us gone.

[ooc: set during this; for those who don't read fluent gary and haven't looked at the thread, the mobs are now spreading throughout parts of the city where non-locals live in the hopes of forcing others out of their homes and out of the city as a whole]

- ommy is?

(There is the telltale sound of the guards making their way back inside the library and the doors sealing shut. A heartbeat later, there is a soft sigh.)

I guess you don't know where my mommy is. I guess I'll just have to wait for her 'gain.

(There are the sounds of someone shuffling around and a car honking in the distance.)

This place isn't so bad, I guess...

(For a few seconds there is nothing but background noise before the little girl's voice begins singing, softly.)

p equals x minus one
over px
minus one
if each coefficient is an integer
when p's not divisible by x...

I truly apologise if I unduly worried anyone. I am perfectly fine. There was a slight mishap, but all is well. Really, the incident was very minor.

( Bo )
Are you all right?

You didn't do anything wrong, dear. I promise you didn't. I simply underestimated the intensity with which our abilities would interact. I am perfectly fine and I apologise for scaring you.

If you're willing, we can try again. I promise there won't be a repeat of the last time.

Right then. If we could possibly never do that again, that would be splendid.

Alright then. Clearly this place couldn't get enough of me. Flattering as that is, can it just make up its fucking mind? The back and forth gets old quick.

So everyone worth mentioning's a sprat right now? Brilliant.

I certainly didn't remember going back in time today.

So what year is it exactly?

So, I have to ask, are things always this eventful in this city?

Because I'm still getting used to the whole 'It's almost seventy years later and there's no Nazis' thing. If this is a weekly thing, I'm not sure I'll ever catch up.

Wrong. You're all wrong. Too much noise and not enough substance. You need a better information system; now I have a headache.

Dr. Rosen said not to leave without telling him. I need to tell him that I left. He'll know. Dr. Rosen said not to leave and he'll know.
