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.]

The ground... it's moving...!

[Around you the ground seems to rattle and thrum. A grinding sound works its way across your senses, tugging somewhere at the back of your teeth.]

[Ahead of you, an outcropping has appeared in the wall of the passage. Was that there yesterday...?]

This... this is not a person, is it? Or a Judge?

If you're that scared then hang back with Weed.

*a mental nod*

I'm going to severely dull that response for now. Not permanent, but it'll help you get through this.

*and the fear fades between one thought and the next, replaced with a detached sort of calm*

Feel up to a little exploration?

And takes off south.]

[You deal with that, I'm going to go examine why the ground is eating itself over here.]

There's a balance between doing that and joining them. Caution will serve all of us better, including them.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Ah, I suppose so.
