[ locks in your html. anyway ashlyn has also gotten her own clothes back. which apparently is just a white t-shirt and white shorts. and black boots.

she sidesteps the leeches... gross... ]

Someone stole the bible.

[trashprince]

[ my html...

white t-shirt buds rise up ]

That's terrible.

[ so bad! ]

What's a bible?

[killies]

[ huh. she guesses it wouldn't be a thing everywhere. that makes sense. ]

It's a religious book.

[trashprince]

[ ah! understanding! kind of! ]

For which Aeon?

[killies]

Uh, none you know of. Or... not an Aeon. I don't think.

[trashprince]

What do THEY cover? Destruction? Harmony?

[ the all caps THEY does not indicate increased volume but a sense of power and reverence. ]

[killies]

Uhh... I think, like... Everything?

[trashprince]

[ ????? caelus' confusion is apparent. ]

So, the opposite of Nihility?

[killies]

Maybe...? I haven't read it myself and my parents don't make me go to church, so...

[trashprince]

[ interesting. ]

I know someone who's conducting research on Aeons. She didn't mention an Aeon of Everything. Now I want to get a look at the bible.

[killies]

It's not an Aeon, dude.

Either way, too bad. Someone took it. [ and then gave it back and then took it and then gave it back and then took it— ]

[trashprince]

Then what are THEY?

[ that means it could come back at any moment! caelus must remain vigilant. ]

[killies]

Like... God?

[trashprince]

God.

[ blank. utterly blank. nothing going on behind those eyes. ]

The God of Everything.

[killies]

According to one religion, anyway.

[trashprince]

Religion's even more complicated than I thought. I'll stick to Trailblazing.

[ it's just u and him, akivili, wherever you went ]

[killies]

You're probably better off that way. So I guess it's fine that the bible keeps disappearing.

[trashprince]

It also keeps reappearing. If it does hold any clues, I should check it out, even if thinking about it makes my head hurt.

[ what's next, it's a sin to eat shellfish or something? ]

[killies]

I won't tell you not to look for clues... But no one has been able to read what's written in it.

[trashprince]

I did hear about that.

[ eavesdropping so as to gain location details. ]

Could be a code like three scraggly scratches means 'there are leeches in the swamp.'

[killies]

If this place is set up just to freak us out, it's probably nothing. But if not—yeah, I doubt they'd fill a whole book with something completely meaningless.

Maybe there are clues somewhere else about how to read it.

[trashprince]

It all ties together in ways we can't see yet but once the plot is unfurled we'll be like, 'oh, wow, that was obvious.'

[ this, caelus believes. right now. ]

[killies]

That would be annoying, but less annoying than the plot unfurling and still being confused.

[trashprince]

[ rolling a recently plucked leech between his fingers. ]

I'm getting sick of feeling toyed with.

[killies]

[ gross! she doesn't think so but i personally am screaming at all the leeches. ]

Me too. We all are. But we can't make any rash decisions. [ not that there are any rash decisions too make when they're trapped like this. she hopes. ]
