In Darkness - Network

Yeah. Happy (early) Halloween. Or something like that.

If you see any yellow butterflies floating around - especially the kind you can't actually touch - it'd be a good idea to let me know. Or let Faye know. Would also be a great time to develop a blood fetish and play vampire.

Or you could always just die a slow and painful death. Your choice.

No need to tell anyone else about this. It doesn't apply.

So, it has occurred to me that my best mate showed up ten days too late for us to celebrate his birthday here, by this calendar.

Then I had another thought. They happen sometimes at random intervals. I thought, wouldn't it be great if we all knew when each other's birthdays were?

So anyone who wants me to sing Happy Birthday to them on their birthday should sign in with their birthday.

I might even be able to con someone into making a cake for your birthday.

I just thought everyone would like to know there's a ton of colored popcorn kernels (to make colored popcorn) in the Halloween store.

Seems to be a lot of black and orange and purple, but I think I saw some green further down. And there are mixed bags that definitely have green in them.

Lily also told me I could announce the Halloween costume party. We'll be having it Saturday evening. In the lobby.

People are encouraged to help decorate the lobby tonight.

Haul ass, people. Let's make this place festive!

The chaos has been very distracting but I just today noticed there are ... holiday decorations in one of the halls.

Was anyone interested in doing any sort of celebrating for Halloween? Maybe a trick or treat or a party or some sort of costume contest?

I don't need to start planning that funeral, do I?

The numbers bear significance. The same set of numbers in the same colors and some on the same medium appear here as they appeared on our former residence.

I don't know what significance, but would appreciate suggestions.

Really, there are easier ways to do this...

There's a dark blur as she adjusts the camera; after her hand moves out of the way, she gets comfy in the chair. Focus is a happy balance of face and chest, with most of her head being visible.

Greetings from the new cage. Half-hearted wave. I'm bored. Entertain me.

A single? Really?

Now, what was the point of taking requests if I can't have a double all to myself?

This is not right. Don't you know that women deserve to be treated to luxury?

And if you'd be so kind as to move Mr. Cobb a little closer, that'd be great.

You know. I was just thinking to myself how fun it would be to get kidnapped and see what it's like to live in a shitty movie. Dream come true, huh?

For real though, give me my guns and let me go.

So ... I guess by now everyone's noticed there's something going on.

What I got from Lily is that a group of people have been moved to a new location, and both directories reflect everyone.

So if everyone could just sign in and say which place you're at, so we have some idea without having to go door to door. Or if ... someone wants to sign in for you. I know the following:

Here:

Jaime Davies
Tyler Simms
Ariana Dumbledore
Remus Lupin
Trini Kwan
Katrina van Tassel
Simon Tam
Tristan Moore
Roland Fisher
Corrine Fisher
Swan Prescott
Lily L Potter
Jake Chambers
Isadora Raleigh
Lucky Washburne
Jayne Cobb
Mercedes King
John Allerdyce
Rock Lee
Dave Stutler
Harry Potter
Salem Saberhagen
Luke Skywalker
Vance Astrovik

Reid Garwin

There:
Lily Evans
Ichabod Crane
Chase Collins
Hugo Weasley
Sir Didymus (and Ambrosius)
Severus Snape
Spike Spiegel
Faye Valentine
Magius
Matt Prept
David Banner

So if everyone not on the list could ... let us know where you are.

Thanks

The ground ain't s'posed t'shake like that.

The hell's wrong with 'em people, leavin' us here while the earth starts fallin' apart?

Sometime last night, we apparently had another group of people removed from the island. If anyone is missing the following people, we aren't sure if this is part of the event our captors hinted at in the network, or if they've actually been removed from the ... experiment.

Malcolm Reynolds
Dug
Balthazar Blake
Seeley Booth
James Potter
Sirius Black
Kyle Trager
River Tam
Lizzy Miles
Cheshire Cat
Kaylee Frye

If anyone hears from them or ... knows something else, please let us know.

Thank you

Who wants to guess what's in store for next week?

Lily will bake cookies for whoever comes closest.

This is not morbid. i'm bored and my arm hurts

So hey, now that we can hear ourselves again, we thought we'd watch some movies in the lobby tonight if anyone wanted to join in.

Someone has to bring the snacks though since I made the announcement. We all know I did the hard part.

Oops. Sorry guys, we didn't realize the music was stuck like that.

You should speak up next time!

We have also been instructed to inform you that we've discovered the island is on an active faultline. In the event it becomes a danger to keep you here, we do have a few other islands to move you to.

Just for kicks, anyone want to share a room? There are double rooms and suites.

Go ahead and sign up if you think that's something you'd be interested in.

Dr. Matt

So ... in case people were wondering.

Someone crossed where the line used to be earlier, and ... nothing happened.

If you so much as think of hurting my gun, I'll... [frustrated growl]

What am I supposed to do, now? Drown people? Hmf!

And what's with this weapon-confiscation crap, anyway? Why would we shoot each other?!

[muttered] I don't remember falling asleep.

May I suggest that we collect the condoms from the children and the adults that aren't sexually active and keep them in the infirmary? That seems the most appropriate place for them.

The kids. The two really little ones. They're ... playing with the condoms. Someone who's not me should ... possibly intervene.
