A message appears

[mirror_mod]

[There is a message in the journal. No voice accompanies it and it's very difficult to read.]



What could it mean?

((OOC: Yes, the text is mirrored. Presumably someone will figure out how to read that. The message is as follows:

People in the castle

My name is Arya. I'm with the group that was taken from the castle. We're safe. We're in a place that looks like the city but weird. We're in a library right now. We're trying to find a way back. If anyone can read this please answer.

Please assume all future messages coming from the missing residents appear mirrored as above))

In the sky? It sounds like a very strange place. If there were Sphinx, there could be riddles to solve to find your way out again. But I don't know, I wish we could do more to help.

[Yes, he's feeling a bit frustrated right now about the lack of progress and how little he's been able to contribute. Even his researching has given him more headaches than leads.]

So, you haven't interacted with your secret captors? They haven't revealed themselves?

It's just us, Wesley. There is noone else. But sometimes it feels like we're being watched.

[For a while there is nothing else, then...]

I'm sorry.

[A pause on his end for a bit, but when he speaks again, his tone is warmer, more intimate.]

I thought we agreed we wouldn't do that too often.

[There's a huff of breath that isn't translated]

You're the one that started it. Said that rules were meant to be broken.

Dictated

[demonologist]

I did? Well, it's the exception that proves the rule, then.

[A beat.]

I just want you home safe already.

[fredless]

I just want to be home already.

You can save me from Elektra. She's been insisting on proper meals, naps and so on. Even standing watch to make sure I'm actually resting, not just pretending so she'll leave me alone. She really is quite the force to be reckoned with. I think we chose well in asking her to be Patricia's godmother.

[When he notices Fred being cut off in mid-conversation with Ray, and she doesn't answer him back, either, Wes starts to worry again.]

Fred? Are you there? What's happening?

Dictated

[demonologist]

Fred...? Fred!

[He can't help but sound more frantic now. What's going on? He can't bear the not knowing.]
