I'm going through the rift to help those on the other side that can't seem to find it. I'd appreciate help from anyone else that can see the rift.

Jake, I know you're coming with me.

“Hello? Hi. This is Tommy and Jay, and we were up looking for Uncle Jake... uh, newest Uncle Jake, I mean, and we checked the bar and we found a new rift just outside it!”

[In the background] “Tell them it leads to a town.”

“Yeah, okay. It leads to a town-”

[Muffled but audible] “The outskirts of it anyway. It was a bit of a walk.”

"Yeah, but it wasn't too bad. But I dunno what town it is, I didn't see any signs anywhere and there weren’t any obvious landmarks that I could see. It just looked like a town.”

“Not a big town though.”

“No, it wasn’t that big. Maybe we should have asked some of the people where it was?”

“We could always go back? They seemed welcoming at least.”

“Yeah. And the hardware store I saw looked pretty good.”

“And the supermarket. Tell them about that. And the other stores.”

“Yeah, there’s a grocery store that seems pretty big, and the pies they had in the bakery looked real good. And there’s a book store and some clothes stores, a drug stor-”

[Quieter than before, as if Jay has wandered further away from Tommy] “Don’t forget the pet store.”

“There’s a pet store.” [Slightly irritated-sounding]

“And I guess people would want to know about the bar and club... Or the farm, at least it looked like a farm... ”

“And there’s a...” [Tommy trails off for a moment] “Jay. Do you want to tell people directly?”

“No. Why?”

“So I’m just gonna repeat everything you say?”

[Muttered] “If you just said everything first, maybe I wouldn’t have to remind you of stuff.”

Signs of Spring are getting more and more obvious here. Keeps making me think it's much later in the year than it actually is.

Although, it's nice to be able to stay outside longer without people worrying you're gonna freeze.

Hey guys, I found something new that might appeal to some.

Anyone want a natural Christmas Tree?

Hey, you know your thing? The talking to electricity and stuff. What was it like when it first started?

Guess where the new rift goes to?

There's a new rift. It's by the lagoon. I had a quick look through.

[If awake, the images and panic and fear will filter over the side-effect link.
However, If asleep, others' dreams will morph into the following frightening, claustrophobic nightmare:

He could hear it. Scuttling and clacking in the gloom. Waiting. But that wasn't the worst thing. He was pinned. He couldn't move, the dead held him down. Hollow eyes stared. Grey, rotting flesh pulled taut to reveal skeletal features. The scent of decay caught in his throat and made him gag.

A creak followed a cracking. The corpse's head moved and a bony hand closed around his throat. Oh god. Get it off. Get it off. Somebody.

The ground beneath him moved. No, not the ground. More dead. Swarming, pulling, dragging him down beneath them. NO! No. Please.

Please.]

* Your tracker's stopped broadcasting. What's up?

* Hello? I sent this 5 minutes ago.

* Uncle Jake? Reply please!

[three attempts at phoning]

Jay (sent at the same times as he texted Jake)

* What's wrong with Jake's tracker? It's stopped broadcasting. Let me know if it's stopped working.

* Jay? Helloooooooooo?

* I broke your bug tank

[three attempts at phoning, alternated with phoning Jake]

Has everyone seen this note Harry left on the notice board? [photo of Harry's note]

Since when does stuff follow us back through a door tear?

Also, hello new person!

Hello.

I'm Jyn.

I keep thinking about these Abberations that were mentioned on the network and the world through the tear. There could be more people in need of help. If I were to venture through the tear and look, would anyone come with me?

Where are you?

I'm so not eating seaweed for ages.

People, Izzy and I have a question for you. This guy above needs a name, and Izzy said he reminds her of Nessie. So our possible names are:

NiNessie. (means "like Nessie")

Nessie-mune (means "Nessie-two")

Nessie-muve (means "Second Nessie")

Mipnessie (means "New Nessie")

Pick which one you like best! Rutxe si Irayo.

Banshee thought I needed to go swimming today, so that was great. Nothing ate me, although I did get nibbled at by a nosy whatever the hell this is, because Banshee threw me into a load of weeds and this guy was in the middle of his lunch.

This lot also live in the lagoon.

I did a lot of swimming about under the water, and I didn't see anything that looked like a predator or a lot of little predators. So at the minute, I'm gonna say the Lagoon is okay for swimming in?

Also, here are more photos.

Also also, Banshee's an asshole but we all knew this.

Going exploring in the jungle! Those trees ain't gonna climb themselves, which is a really weird mental image I've given you.

Jay, I will take photos and samples and do maps as best I can, and I even got a book to put everything in for you. I am your best uncle.

I'll be back by sunset!

Happy birthday to me!

Hello people of the new island! Have we given it a name yet? I met Uncle Jake on the beach and he told me there's even more of my fellow Sullys here! Awesome! I missed all of you, Sullys and Non-Sullys. I was away from our home too and so much happened, I don't know what to tell you all first. How are all of you? I hope everyone's good.

For those who don't know me, I'm Sookie Sully.
