Repose

[The abandoned house in the woods is under occupation once more, evidenced by the smoke from the chimney and the heat of the outdoor building melting most of the snow surrounding it. The grocery store, hardware store and arts & crafts store all come in to slips of paper under the door-frame, setting up delivery of key items: food; an axe, grease, mortar; and forty pounds of clay.

The 'seat vacant' sign in the window of the tattoo and piercing place is gone and in its place is an announcement that they're now able to offer tattoos again.]

[Before the boy is reported missing. After the train.]

[Anonymously, public.]

You dropped your purse on the train. I found something else you lost.

[Jude]

Bring me something she can tear apart that isn't a priceless first edition, please.

[Destiny]

Any word on the [...] drink we were talking about?

[Claire]

Have you heard of anything that can tame blood thirst? That would work on me?

[Sam & Cris, locked under one.]

I'm staying at the music store, but thank you for your offer.

[Also messages to Harper and Ceil, but they elicit no response.]
