[Emotion seems to flow across the murmur like a river as Ash figures out how to use it. For the most part it's chill, and energetic, but there's something bubbling just under the surface.]

Hey.

Ash here.

I was wondering if anyone else has gotten any weird messages across through this thing? Because I sure as hell did the other day.

[And she passes the message along trying to mimic it in the best way she can. the fragment of a memory, that reads as a journal entry:]

Our teams spent nearly two years attempting to anticipate what this event would mean for humanity- analyzing endless reams of lunar topography along with every known form of spectroscopy, all amounting to one hopeless conclusion: to burrow into the bowels of the earth and simply wait that whatever emerged from within would reach us there last.

As it would turn out, this one final act of humble surrender is what won the last of us the right to our own lives in these final days. Those of us alive now are not those who sought to battle with destiny and defiantly cling to a civilized existence at the surface- or even any existence at all.

It would seem that in the wake of this phenomenon, we were best served by our most base instincts, whose shame found no place to dwell. The ones who survived are those who spot their hubris and hid desperately down in the mud like rats.


[And she speaks up again, after passing on the message.]

No idea how long ago this message is actually from considering the state of things.

But I don't know if we want to be on the look out for any underground bunkers or something? Might be some answers to find.

[ this seems the right time. he should have done this earlier. the same way he had with the ouroboros. they won't get very far if they don't connect. if they don't try. and even though parts of noah's soul are bruised and weary, he must carry on.

at least. for now, he must. there are answers still waiting for him. ]


I wanted to try something. Since we all don't seem to know each other very well, maybe we could start there. Get to know a little about ourselves. Or maybe a fact about the worlds we come from.

I'm Noah. I like to play the flute, though I don't know many melodies yet.

And I'm also an offseer. You could say I send off the dead with my song. I perform the funeral rites.

I hope to get along with all of you.

[ His connection to the Murmur is crisp, steady, with all the professionalism of someone used to Getting Shit Done. There's an impression, here, of college-ruled notes, neat and precise as a pin. ]

Made an educated guess that most people aren't from here. If you were: sorry about the whole apocalypse thingβ€”NYC was a lovely, loud, vibrant place.

[ A muted undercurrent of grief stains the pristine white pages, a dark blotch of ink bleeding towards the margins. ]

Either way, figured a map of the area may prove to be useful. Any questions, you can direct them my way. I'm not guaranteeing answers.

[ His reach expands, restrained, as though he's taken a breath in to brace himself. Ariadne's small voice echoes in his skull: I'm not going to open my mind to someone like that.

He thinks of the hotel on the second level of the dream, about holding it perfectly still and stable, with anything personal tucked safely away, looping staircases keeping anyone from wandering out of the maze hidden underneath. Soon enough, a clear image of a tidy annotated map of the area transmits. It's definitely water-stained and creased, but serviceable. ]
