Backdated to before the human sacrifice hoopla.

[silentcrash]

Royce there's something you should know.

[eventhandler]

[Well, this is a surprise. There is a long pause before he writes back. What could she possible want to say...?]

what is it?

[silentcrash]

Sybil's here. In Rota

[eventhandler]

that's

[He pauses in mid-text. Sybil. Sybil Reisz, member of the Camerata. Alive and well, here. He could scarcely believe it. There's a feeling of shock, followed by confusion, then something like a sting in his heart, of pain, the image of her fleeing from them after revealing her lies.]

[Her actions had led to the death of his beloved city. If it wasn't for her, he'd still have a home. A city. The Transistor, still in his hands.]

[All because of her, he lost everything.]

apologies. caught up in some thoughts, that is, are you entirely sure it is her? have you talked with her? what does she remember?

[silentcrash]

It's her. She remembered my songs.

And she asked about Grant and Asher.

[Red didn't have it in her at the time to tell Sybil they're dead.]

[eventhandler]

[Grant and Asher. Two names he didn't think he'd hear for a long time. They were...gone. One-way trip to the Country. He is almost surprised at the sting of sadness at reading their names, the memories of them well and alive springing up in his mind like weeds...]

[He sighs and shakes his head. Well, this was a messy situation, so to speak.]

i see. i have to thank you for the information.

how much have you conversed with one another? did you tell her about the state of what we left behind? what occurred?

[silentcrash]

I think she guessed.

["Cloudbank is behind us, now."]

I didn't stay long.

[eventhandler]

[What to do, what to do...]

does she have any plans? now that she is here.

[silentcrash]

Besides trying to explain
apologize
talk
apologize to me? I don't know.

[eventhandler]

understood.

if she has come then there may be others, now that i think of it. best to keep a look out.

[silentcrash]

I know. I'll keep you posted.


Think Asher would be one of those cat things? [Is now really the time?]

[eventhandler]

[REALLY, RED. REALLY. Anyways, time to change the subject.]

anything new since we've seen each other last? have you completed your transformations?

[silentcrash]

A long time ago. Have you?
