[While the cats are away, the mice will play. Or, in this case, a previously unknown username appears on the network at an odd time.]

So, which one of you tore down my lighthouse?

[It's to the point, at least. A companion log to this network post is located here!]

Comments

@keeper

[beaconkeeper]

Ummmm excuse me? YOUR lighthouse? :/

[prophetable]

Pretty sure I didn't stutter.

[beaconkeeper]

[There's a pause as she reads up on some of the other responses. Seems easier than making this sassy lost child repeat everything.]

OK so you were a lighthouse keeper?? What's your name?

And uhhh how are you like, alive?

[prophetable]

Ambassador Diode Zipsell. Please tell me you've heard of me. I left notes.

[This must be Robin. Her username is pretty telling, and he's found her previous network post explaining her own situation post-flood.]

I woke up in the Church. I thought it was Solis, but it sounds like she's gone.

[beaconkeeper]

Omg what are you the ambassador of?

[She'll get to the other stuff in a minute.]

@ELVIRA

[vampirella]

it was a storm. if you're gonna go fistfight a flood, let me know, i'll make popcorn

who the fuck are you

[prophetable]

If my username isn't ringing any bells, we're in some deep shit.

[Aside from the whole, like, flood thing? He will absolutely fight the water, try him.]

Care to give me a damage report? No response from Solis.

[vampirella]

there's about 30 of us still standing and half of them went under the lake to get themselves killed, so tell me something i don't already know

she probably hasn't felt like talking much since she died. a second time. broken lantern and everything

the shades hide the tears

[prophetable]

[He's not going to comment on Solis being dead for real. It's too early for anyone to see The Emotions of The Boy.]

It figures I'm back now, then, when there's a mess this big to clean up.

[vampirella]

and what are you going to do, exactly? you got plans for killing creatures capable of destroying worlds you wanna share with the class?

@username; voice

[immortalaccursed]

Oh, you'd want to take that issue up with the local weather.

[prophetable]

I'll file a complaint at the station, if it isn't also in shambles.

Creative choice of username.

[The boy will NOT SPEAK!]

[immortalaccursed]

I was not feeling particularly inspired when I woke up here, what can I say?

Now, about this weather station...

It won't help. Unless you are trying to imply they control the weather and don't simply report it. In which case I may have a few words for them as well.

[prophetable]

I've seen plenty of changes in the weather here, but never something so strong that it could knock down the lighthouse. All I'm really implying is that this is bullshit.

[He's out of the loop and mad about it.]

[immortalaccursed]

Ah...Yes.

We all agree that it is "bullshit" as well. We lost so many lives in the storm. Such a tragedy.

Now, may I ask to whom am I speaking?

@haein

[unwieldy]

[ WHOMST. ]

the lighthouse was yours?

[prophetable]

Yes.

[That's what he said, sir!]

I would say is, rightfully, if it was still standing. All of my notes and resources were in there and this is an incredible waste.

[unwieldy]

[ Know what, that sounds important. ]

and who are you?

[prophetable]

The lighthouse keeper. The best that Beacon has seen, I've been told.

[He's not humble.]

[unwieldy]

you'll have to find a new way of introducing yourself now.

what happened to you that you had to be replaced?

@meg

[bigtoughgirl]

looks like people already told you about what happened to the lighthouse, so: what do you plan to do now?

[prophetable]

Get us home. Alive, of course.

[bigtoughgirl]

us as in all of us, or us as in the people you were minding before?

[ she hasn't been here near as long as most of the others, but she knows they're not the first group and that dying doesn't necessarily mean you don't stick around in some capacity. ]

[prophetable]

They aren't here.

[So he's gathering. They aren't responding, and he's seen no evidence of any of them posting. If he's been gone as long as Robin has indicated...well, it makes sense. They've simply been reset.]

I don't generally put conditions on doing the right thing.

[Even though he's an incredibly surly boy.]

[bigtoughgirl]

in ANY capacity? there's a lot of spirits here.

noble of you, we appreciate that. what happened that kept you?
