first thing first, what's the date and time?

SECOND: THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: IF YOU SEE AN ODD LOOKING MACHINE WITH A STRANGE GLOWING SYMBOL AND LOTS OF INVITING BUTTONS DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE URGE TO TOUCH SAID MACHINE. IT WILL BE TRAUMATIZING.

so much trauma. and near death by drowning.

BEFORE I FORGET SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL THE COPS; THERE'S A DEAD BODY IN THE POOL. damnit i think i recognize that face too. it's the guy who was screaming about cultists getting him a couple days ago.

I'm going to hide in my own room for a few days.

The machine? In Locke in a coffee shop.

[senseandcecilbility]

That is a good plan.

What about...this side?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Bottom of a pool at hotel xxx.

[senseandcecilbility]

Thank you.

[ He is calling the police and telling them there is a body at hotel xxx. Poor Jovan.]

I believe that will scare off the tourists too.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

[The FBI is probably there already but it's a good thought. Poor Jovan indeed.]

Or some people will take it as an excuse to visit.

[senseandcecilbility]

[He met the FBI! They had guns and can be truly scary.]

Why do I have the impression they would be the wrong kind of tourists?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

[The one Fil knows is on the network and polite and civil. He more inclined to trust him than the police.]

Probably because people who come to gawk at a death scene IS probably not the sort you want hanging around.

[senseandcecilbility]

That is quite true. I would enjoy getting my normal life back.

[Or as normal as life can be in Vegas.]

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Sorry but the fact that you're actually on this network itself means that your chances of getting anything 'normal' is really very very low. [This is without adding the fact in that Cecil lives in Vegas.]

[senseandcecilbility]

[This is the exact truth he doesn't want to hear.]

There is...There is always hope, I think.

[And yet such hope becomes weaker and weaker every day.]

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I hope you're able to keep that optimism.
