Repose

Hello there. I believe Atticus has already made the introductions?

I'm looking for an Irishman who chatted with an orchid. He knows who he is, I imagine.

[Locked to Louis D]
Been a while. Need a favor.

[Locked to Janus A]
Not interested in talking about Steve. Wanted to run something by you about Halloween.

[Locked to Billy K]
Out at the lake. Welcome to stay in the Carriage House attic with your friend. Need anything out there, check in with Connie.

[Filter: Louis D.]

Did you make it out of the party alright?

[Call: Misha B]
[Ring!]

[Locked to Louis D]
Louis Donovan, how was your night?

[Locked to Sadie M]
Hello, Sadie.

[Locked to Daniel W]
Did you attend the gathering?

ETA: [Public]
I wish for the man, who bore a guitar and a wig, whom I kissed once upon the lips, to know that it was meaningless and I am seeking nothing further from it.

[Public]

Well. If I'd ever wondered what being a woman was like, that's that taken care of.

Eddie, wherever you are, I hope you made it through.

[Leena B]

It's been a year. Please tell me you weren't dead.

["Jane"]

All right? No necromancy this go-round?

[Kratos S]

Well that wasn't postcards.

[Louis D]

All right? Did the current occupier budge up and make room?

[Patrick G]

All right?

[Mayers & David P]

Is everyone okay?

[Kratos S]

Hey.

[Louis D]

way weirder than postcards this time.

[Holly W]

how're you doing, man?

[Public]

that was trippy.

[Edit: Public]

Whoever kicked me in the chest btw. Hi.

[public]

So where is the best place to get a costume? Because I am so pro-Halloween. It's my second-fave holiday.

[Hannah S]

Hey. Uh. So did you hear from a Si M?

[Holly W]

[He sends a photo of the popcorn in the movie theater and a corner of the screen which is black & white.]

Guess the showing.

[Louis D]

You baked yet?

[From the air. Time-fuzz.]

[Locked to Sadie M]
Your siblings are well and with your grandmother in the north of the state of Georgia. Your father is not with them.

[Locked to Claire J]
I have done the reconnaissance requested. There were a handful of meetings and they took place in a bookstore. [Location given.] The owner's name is Marcus Black, though he was not in attendance. The bookstore's security speaks to criminal enterprises, but I did not delve into it further. I can, if you would like.

Your Cardinal Agostini was meeting with a Dias for an exchange. They referred to the desire item as a 'pinecone,' but it was not such. This was a code name. The item itself was of a size relative to that of a man's arm and looked to be a hard, shining black material. This was transferred to your cardinal, in exchange for a jar of preserved female reproductive organs. The cardinal man said something of bringing this Dias to Rome 'soon to finish the ritual.'

Some of the Swiss guardsmen spoke amongst themselves when they were alone, and spoke as if something is amiss in your Vatican. The Inquisitors themselves spoke of you and your being traitorous and how they desired to be hunting. They spoke of Repose and various details about it and the people here. It seems they know you are friends with Misha. I would assume they know of Janus, as well. I did not recognize the others, individually.

[Locked to Leena B]
They are finally all gone.

[Locked to Daniel W]
You are alive.

[Locked to Louis D]
What is your relationship with your sister Iris Morgenstern?

Hello. I would like to apologize for putting you all in an uncomfortable situation. I assure you it was not intentional.

[Hannah S]

Did you just like, arrange a play-date?

[Mars M]

Hey.

[Louis D]

How's it baking?

["Echoes"]

[He hits the Venmo link and the Twitch at the same time.]

hey.

Hello.

[News: Sonrisa]
The day after the infrasound is silenced, while Repose is quietly trying to reassemble itself, the local art store's doors stay closed. The store is quiet, and the boy who'd been looking after the place is not seen around town at all in the days that follow.]

[Package delivered on Thursday AM to Dietre]
[The box itself is unassuming, sent from a packing store on the other side of the Capital. Inside are the typical packing peanuts and some bubble wrap around a box of sprinkled cherry poptarts, a pack of clove cigarettes, a men's cardigan sweater of green and yellow. It's a size small and smells like Oliver. At the very bottom of a box is a note wrapped around a small box of used watercolors. The note reads:]
Rose,
So I'm gone. I guess you might've realized by now. I never wanted Repose to be my home and with all of the bad shit that keeps happening, I decided to stop making it be. I don't know if you'll understand, but it is what it is. I've included in this box all of the things that make a gray day a blue one for me. Try them, they might work for you too.

~ Romeo

[Letter slipped beneath the door of Louis' store.]
It's time for me to split town. Thank you for everything you did for me. If Cris and Sam ever come back around, tell them thank you too.
Oliver
[Taped to the note is the key he kept for Sonrisa.]

[Envelope addressed to Steve at the Mean Eyed Cat]
[Inside is a folded up watercolor. On the back, there is writing.]
Steve,
Take care of yourself. I'm going East to do the same.
~ Oliver

[Left outside the Wainwright mansion with a note on top saying, To: Damian.]
[With no idea whether Damian and Misha still stay there, a small box is left on the steps of the old Wainwright place. It is brown cardboard and unassuming. Inside is a pewter tea canister with red tea leaves within. There is also a scrap of paper that simply reads Goodbye with a little O in the bottom right corner. And although it is addressed to Damian and makes no mention of Misha, there are two plain tea cups inside the box.]

[Locked to Tim D]
I request your assistance.

I am busy and will not be in.

Hello, I have a query.

For sale. Please direct any and all inquiries to Repose Antiques.

( Medicine, revolution, and mugshots. )

[Public]

Anyone seen Pete in the last week? Guessing he might have skipped town, because the coffee in the diner on Ivy got a hell of a lot better and Pete can fuck up coffee better than anyone I ever knew.

There's afternoon coffee hour or whatever you want to call it all this week. Between 2 - 4 iced coffees are buy one and get a pastry free, if that's the sort of thing that sounds good to you.

[Hannah S & Reece E]

I've got some information about this park, and talking to Reece I was thinking maybe we should just talk in person. My IKEA dining table arrives next Wednesday, so what do you say to coming over and eating food while we do it?

[Louis D.]

I've been told a home doesn't feel like a home until you have guests in it, and you promised me a completely useless antique as I recall. Would you like to come over?

[From 'Samson.']

Oh Delilah. Is there anyone you love, Delilah?

['Bread']

Hey B. I never got to hear you write how awesome you are.

[They all get the same postcard, signed Newt. There's no return address.]
