[Filtered away from anyone who would use this information for harm - oh and Nancy and Zeke]

We discovered the impact site of the thing sighted before the earthquake. It looks like it was some sort of ship...that housed insect like humanoids. We don't know who they came from, or who they are- but they attacked us and Terre Haute. We sustained some injuries, but no losses.

[a pause]

The impact site, however, turned out to be next to the base for the Hostile First Generations- the Free People who had stolen some of Tony Stark's Weapon Suits. There were many casualties, I'm afraid. Zeke and Nancy were the only survivors.

If there's anyone out in the Dead Zone who had friends in that faction reading this, I'm sorry for your loss.

[That's all he really has to say. There's too many things up in the air for him to declare anything. He's not even the leader anyway. After he gives the message, he goes to relax near a campfire at camp that night. Timcanpy sits in his lap, looking up in worry about his master. He seems emotionally exhausted- it's been a long trip.]

Celo!

[save_the_souls]

...Celo?

[he doesn't know what he was expecting, but it sure wasn't that]

dictated;

[ofhope]

...Nancy.

[ Why the fuck can he see this filter? He's been too much of a good boy lately... Since even if he feels a fondness for Nancy, he's more reluctant to share castle secrets with her now.

Hmmm. Oh well, why linger on it? ]

Tell her I say hello.

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

Ah-

[Oh that's right. She helped break you out of jail :| He guess that would make him pretty fond of her]

If I see her again, I will.

dictated;

[ofhope]

[ He was fond of her already BUT THAT SURE HELPED. Although frankly the following year sucked major ass. ]

Are they coming back with you? That's not the type of souvenir I wanted...

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

I don't know, though I doubt they will be. They'll probably want to go their own way.

[Since you know, they hate our guts and all]

What sort of souvenir would you have wanted?

dictated;

[ofhope]

They're smarter than everyone else, then.

[ He'd so be out of here if he wouldn't lose his powers. ]

Some kind of artifact, obviously!

[save_the_souls]

[...]

What sort of artifact?

dictated;

[ofhope]

You said there's a ship nearby. Something from there.

[save_the_souls]

[He could argue about the morals of taking pieces of stuff from something that's pretty much a tomb now...but this is joshua. That's like arguing with a wall with spikes]

I can try to see if I can get a small piece of the ship that fell off?

dictated;

[ofhope]

I'm not interested in rubble, Allen Walker. Don't you have an explorer's mind at all? You went all the way out there.

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

I've been taking care of the bodies, Joshua. You'll have to ask someone else for their explorations.

dictated;

[ofhope]

What use are the bodies?

Filter forever

[onlyanapple]

...Well. That's that, then.

and ever

[save_the_souls]

Mm...it is. [it's hard to know what to say about all this. They were their enemies, but...]

[onlyanapple]

You get out okay?

Because if you're hurt, be aware I am going to hide your bed.

[save_the_souls]

I thought you were going to glue it to the ceiling...

But I'm fine! Nothing more than scratches and bruises.

[onlyanapple]

I changed my mind. You know where to look if it's on the ceiling.

Good. Glad to hear that.

[save_the_souls]

Oh I see.

Mm! How are things back at the house?

[onlyanapple]

[They would have run out of food days ago if Nanako didn't have the food money]

It's gnometastic.

Oops, I mean fantastic.

[save_the_souls]

...How much of the money did you spend on gnomes.

[onlyanapple]

[All of it, Allen. ALL OF IT]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[save_the_souls]

No. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

[onlyanapple]

I guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you? It'll be a fun surprise.

[save_the_souls]

[he groans]

How do you even get all of them?! I thought the woodcarver promised to stop!
