[ she debates doing this for a few days because part of her doesn't want to know, but part of her does. she ran a real risk having alex keep an eye on her on friday. nothing happened, but... that's not reassuring at all.

and there's no one else to ask, really, so... ]

Sorry for the suddenness of this. It's Reilanin.

I got an echo a little while back. A week or two. I wasn't sure- I'm still not sure what it is. I know it's not the transformation yet. I haven't gotten anything or remembered anything like other times.

Do you have any ideas? I really don't know how reliable anything else is to go on.

Video, 7:39PM

[When Gavin opens the video this time, he looks tired. His eyes are dark and he keeps rubbing them, and he has his hood pulled up to cover the top of his head. He smiles though, as usual;]

Hey guys, I guess it's been a while since I updated, so here you go. I've been looking into the Echo history and plotting out what I could, but it's still pretty random. I know, almost everyone told me it was stupid, but I'm not going to give up. I want to go explore that tower again with someone soon, if anyone is interested. I went by myself last time, but I have a feeling it'll be more dangerous now.

Anyway... I know I'm not the only one but--

[He pulls his hood back, revealing about two inches of blond roots growing in where it would usually be very dark brown.]

Any idea if this'll dye? Or am I stuck getting dumber?

Action, 8:47PM

[Gavin can be found later in the grocery store near his apartment. He has some (snack) food in his basket already, and some other things he needed, but now he's standing in the box hair dye aisle and feeling a little awkward. He's never colored his hair before, and he's never bought hair dye either-- it wasn't that it was girly, that didn't bother him, he just didn't know where to start.]

[struckout]

With... so much going on, how many of you would leave here, if you could?

[ A deceptively simple question, but Kallie's been thinking about it for a long time, has to deliberately keep herself from adding on more elaboration once the words are said and then left hanging there. The buzzing is driving her nuts, and her voice is distant and a little odd; truth is she's laying on her back as she speaks to her (newest) cellphone. ]

Anyway.

... Does anyone know of somewhere or someone that... one of us could go to for a haircut? I mean, that won't think a weird color's worth telling everyone about?

[ A muffled sigh and another held back urge: noting that that is a much more serious question than it seems. Someone really ought to rescue her before she just goes ahead and takes scissors to her poor pink locks herself. ]

New mysteries, Numbers Club, and new things to be aware of. I don't know if these are related at all, but it's worth knowing:

So wow, okay, the towers? There are police there now. They're not everywhere, but you don't have to look long at all to find them. Probably inside, too, and they seem pretty ready to stay around. I just saw one K-9 guy walking around with this dog, its face was... weird. Like muzzled, but there was something off about it, I didn't get close enough to see. The others don't have those.

They don't seem to be all that wary, but that uh... no, no, they're not chatting or anything, they're looking around. Maybe it's... well, anyway, if it wasn't a pulse trap before it either is now, or the dogs are like that one parrot months ago and will freak out if you get close.

I think the bird house is far enough from the walking snake monsters that it's okay. So far, anyway, I don't even hear them when I'm there. Still. There's them, and on the way out of the DD today I saw this guy loitering and just... watching. That wasn't a part of town where you get a lot of loiterers. I don't like him. I also saw this weird helicopter. Dark. I don't think it was marked.

Anyone else see these?

[The sun's still not quite set at the time of this connection.

Cinderella has splashed her number into her trough this evening with a light and hasty hoof.

When she brings it back to the ground with the others she starts shifting side to side - and her voice is at a high singsong and quiver.]

House - sitting...

['Tis a quiver of antici...

...


...pation.]

House-sitting, house-sitting, house-sitting~g~g, everybody, the Bells are looking for somebody to do some house-sitting this Halloween! Linda has a party, Michael is not missing trick-or-treating, and the master and mistress of the household will of course not come home to find that troublemakers have thrown pumpkins all over the walls of the house and painted flames all down my sides.

...Those I will have you know are Mrs. Bell's concerns in her own words. [She's well aware they're not entirely literal - or at least not so specific.]

And if anybody might be so capable of helping a pony out, if you get where I'm going this, I would be so deeply in your debt I cannot even tell you!

Halloween is, in fact, a very special night for me, after all, and I~ cannot wait to have my chance to celebrate it finally as an actual person entitled to a bit of holiday fun~ And I do enjoy it, I'll have you know, I know some of you must recall how lovely Labor Day was!

[Ear flicks - half-laugh and half-"Hmph!"] Ah... Chance is small anything can be worked out nicely in time for next week, I know, but! ...Just in case I'm mistaken, I'll be in touch! Do tell me if I could have missed anybody among you who might be friends of the Bells~
