[ nineteen; ]

[ Bruce has, somewhat predictably, been hiding out in his room all day today. Towards the evening, though, he ventures into town. He doesn't do any window shopping and in fact he looks a little peeved as he makes a bee-line for a flower shop, purchases something and then heads back to the castle.

From there he goes right up to the roof to sit on the ledge and watch the sun setting over the horizon. He doesn't move for a very long time, instead just sitting there and thinking, gently cradling two white roses in his hands.

Bother him if you like, but saying he's not one for conversation at the moment would be an understatement. ]

[she takes a little longer writing this time]



[flips the page to a new one, which has been pre-written]

Mmn.

[ he turns to look out over the grounds again. ]

Filter to a Dr. Temperance Brennan on the journals. She was looking to see if she could catalog arrivals and departures. Adding the information you're looking into would help in discovering any motivations via statistical data.

[she'll nod with a faint 'mm' sound. sounds like a plan ... she'll scribble something down again, turning the notepad for him to see]



[pageflip!]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say no progress at all.

Have you read Lois Lane's report on Paradisa and everything the castle residents have discovered? It's a little ways back in the journals, but it's very informative.

[she nods. writing again --]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone has tried. And that is assuming it's the castle that's the power behind everything and not some other sentient being.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she's shaking her head, and tearing off all those papers she wrote on and dropping them onto the roof. LMAO, she's such a litterer :(]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Unsurprising. That doesn't mean the building is sentient.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[writing writing writing! she has quite the talkative right hand :)]



[she flips the page]



[flips again!]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

[ ... okay, now he's intrigued. ]

Can you explain what you mean by that any? The sentience and true forms part.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she'll be sitting down next to him now instead of standing, because this could get long and complicated. clank clank goes her armor as she gets comfortable with the notepad on her lap. she'll be tearing off one sheet and handing it to him, while she continues writing another page for when he's finished with that one]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Do you know for certain what the source is here?

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[handing him a new sheet]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Have you heard of and/or talking to anyone who'd been to the Dead Zone yet?

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she pauses in writing a new sheet to come after that to shake her head, glancing up at him]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

A week or so out from the castle you hit the Dead Zone. It's a place where technology, magic and other supernatural powers stop working completely. No one knows how far it stretches out.

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[she blinks, before flipping the page -- she'll continue that one later -- and starting a new one]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

What have you heard?

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Hm. Nothing more than what I've heard.

[ Sadface. He was hoping for new info. ]

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[poor brucey :(]



[turns the page]

[about true forms and stuff :)]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Yes, please. Go on.

curse you lack of edit button

[hellscythes.livejournal.com]

[goes back to that page she was writing before and finishes it quickly before ripping it off to give to him]

There's one potential problem with that theory, though. This place has changed into locations from people's homeworlds, and there's a number of universes with similar versions of the same cities.

[glances up at him, before scribbling again]
