Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

Are you trying to draw attention to us? Be quiet.

[The water around the geardorm seems to flatten, even the current dying a moment ... before it starts to churn wildly, disorganized eddies becoming actual waves striking the island's shore.]

The path has changed. Given what it's made of...

Jace, if you could spare some attention, please keep an eye out to make sure I don't panic.

[memories of the Pillar are in the background... Akin has also picked up speed -- he's more than a bit afraid]

[Nothing except the passage around you.

Another rumble goes through the caves.]

Then don't. I'm just checking it out.

Better that than the alternative. We might as well take a look.

[You can't see. Too many shapes tangled up in each other, blurred beyond recognition...]

[hacks_ur_garden.insanejournal.com]

But that way's home. It feels fucking weird out here.

...be ready to cut off contact if you have to. There's a force out there that will pull you in if you probe it too closely. It's a very unpleasant way to go.
