i almost have all the information compiled im very sorry for the delay

long week and earplugs dont work

i thought maybe a clue iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[there's a nearly half-minute pause here before it continues, for those watching in real time.]

cant turn it off but the statues. maybe a clue maybe nothing



[Well, that was...informative. This message only decipherable thanks to autocorrect. Hooray for technology.]


julien its good to hear you and everyone are alright


[yeah, it's even hard for him to concentrate enough to remember how to send that privately. Ah, well.]

Comments

[espigeonage]

Whoah, are you okay?

[...]

[he just puts in Emmanuel's number and goes with voice.]

Talk to me, man. What happened? Did your hearing change or something?

[caosgo]

[there's a delay, because he has to sort Julien's voice out from about four music stations, the news, and some other background chatter.]

text please. sorry.

i was at the library, timing towers

[another pause]

tuning tower. noise got worse. now like I'm in a tv with a broken antenna

[espigeonage]

Okay. Sorry.

Sorry, I think that reference predates me. Do you mean static? Sounds like another nasty pulse. Is it better indoors? Maybe in a basement?

[caosgo]

static and like feedback. high pitched dunno why my eardrums still work

sometimes some words but cant understand them

[there's a pause. It had gotten slightly better indoors, but not by much--still unbearable. But the basement? He takes some time getting out of bed and trying to remember where the key was. The next challenge is not falling down the uneven wooden stairs, but he makes it. Now that he's surrounded by concrete, the noise actually does fade a little, and he leans against a wall in relief.]

yes. basement is better. thanks

Have new statues been placed?

[Questions of whether or not and in what way something's wrong had already been leapt to and answered - this question still feels relevant to some extent to those. What brought that bit about statues on?]

[Text]

[caosgo]

[he's doing a little better now that's he's moved locations.]

no new statues. But they were wolves and snakes, right? and there was something about policemen that looked like dogs earlier in the year. That leaves snakes. whats important about them? they dont really fit in the garden metaphor

i hope you feel better soon! you're doing good work, it'll definitely pay off.

[caosgo]

i just don't want anything to happen to someone because they weren't properly informed

[dorkytracksuit]

[caosgo]

just have to hope it'll go away eventually

[wastingtime]
