Text; Evening 4/8

[alilyinthemoonslight]

As anyone's noticed from Winter's update, we arrived in one piece. With our pulses/echoes intact, but there's some caveats to that. So... a quick rundown, for anyone interested:

Upon leaving Locke City's barrier, our pulses were not entirely LOST - rather, they were weakened severely. Memories of the Network and regained memories of other lives became fuzzier. I didn't try to transform, but I imagine it wouldn't have worked, although my transformation device remained. But there was still some remnant, or trace of things - but it was like trying to pull back thoughts veiled through static. Just not... QUITE there, but I knew they SHOULD have been. It's a weird sensation, but... it's important. One can hypothesize that the more of these light there are, the wider WE can reach. At the very least, it's enough to keep you on track if you travel outside.

Everything returns in full at a certain point when hitting the Las Vegas barrier. There's a difference, however: This barrier is much smaller. A cursory walkabout leads me to believe it doesn't go terribly far away from the Vegas strip.

The hotel offer is entirely legitimate. If you have super powers.

Unfortunately, that walkabout also turned up one disturbing thing - I spotted a creature that most definitely should not have been there. A hairy little creature. No one else seemed to notice it, and it took off before I could get close enough. It was before my time on the Network, but based on what I know... I think it was a Vermini.

As an side: You can smell CLOUDS cigarette smoke from casinos without even being relatively close to them. I practically feel the need to walk around this place with an air freshener as a necklace.

[OOC - Small note to roommates: By the time of posting this, Lily would have informed any of them of all this. Anyone in that vicinity is free to harass her via action for the evening time, as well.]

That does change things. I'm surprised you were allowed to leave, then, but I don't make the school policies.

[Or perhaps that's exactly how a bunch of scared administrators would act.]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

As said, we're also one giant potential hazard and liability. So... for the moment, this works best for all of us. At least until we get a better handle on things.

[lightsoflife]

I see. How long will you be staying there?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Depends a lot on what we find. When we find it. Or what we can DO about it. Seeing a sign of SOMETHING is sort of encouraging, in that it shows we're not on a wild goose chase.

[lightsoflife]

Do you plan on pursuing the Vermini?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

That would seem like the lead to pursue for now, wouldn't it?

[lightsoflife]

Good luck, then, and stay safe.
