I want us to go to Mako for the night tonight... You in? Because I think tonight's the night. I'm ready if you are

Hey, I know we haven't talked in a coon's age, but how are you? Mermaids have treasures sometimes, right? Any chance you could cut me in somehow? I really need it.

[Cara]

So your paintings are worth like thousands on eBay. You're good with me trying to sell at least a couple, right?

I don't like the view out my window any more. Is there anyone with a better view? I bet there is. I bet some of you can see the beach.

Peeta
Where are you?

[The sudden sound of children crying agitates him in a way he's not known in a long time. He remains quiet for a while, though he does not hide the vaguely pained look on his face. To Lynne, softly.] Do you hear that as well?

Guess this place can bring back the fucking dead, huh?


[Filtered to mermaid chick, sorry, I forgot your name]

Hey, I'm heading to the beach tomorrow morning; care to join me?

I must apologise that I have been silent since my return. My reasoning was entirely selfish, and for that, I am sorry.

I have been observing. I have tried to keep quiet, but the network seems to be on the same page; there is no point to continue my silence on the matter. Father, I apologise for any potential disrespect you may interpret.

It is bad enough that this house feels fit to alternately torture and pamper us so as to slow our abilities to become desensitized. It is unacceptable that it has found fit to leave us in the company of a man who would threaten the lives of humans, and youthful ones, from what I have read, at that.

Those of us with the strength and ability to go into action must do so; we cannot allow the general human populace to live in further fear than the house already dictates they must. We should be ashamed that we have not had this conversation already. How long has this man been in this house, biding his time? I was unaware of his presence until now; how many others of us have been, as well?

I refuse to continue to sit back and feign ignorance to the threat posed upon the Midgardians. Who is with me, or do I stand alone?

Jared? Elise?

[Lynne]

Loki asked me to tell you something before he....

He wanted you to know that he'll always love you and he'll always be there even after the last star has died.

[Rikki]

Loki asked me to tell you something before it happened.

He wanted you to know that he'll always love you and he'll always be there even after the last star has died.

...I'm so tired...

[ooc: sent around two in the morning]

Wake up, mate. We gotta go to Mako...I have to be back and stuck to the floor in an hour to be on the safe side. I Googled...they're calling it a supermooon...

[She sends him another separate text-based message with the same filter, containing this link]

Meet you on the beach in ten minutes.

Did anything important happen in our week of absence?

[Rikki]
How are you faring?

Did you want to go out to the beach?

[What starts as random flashes of lightning outside on the west end of the house (the higher the room number, the further west they are) quickly escalates to all the electricity on the fourth floor completely going out and the rest of the house's electricity fritzing (lights flickering, TVs going in and out, etc)]

[Out Loud to Peter]

...oops...well...that didn't go as planned. What's the likelihood it's just our lights I put out?
