[Ever since her first attempt at leaving the house, Bobby has been spending most of each day in her closet. She has a few flashlights around her shedding light, and an open box of soda crackers is next to her. The kitchen knife she stole earlier is just in within reach.]

I hope everyone's safe. At first there weren't many of the dead people and now they're everywhere. People keep telling that it's only a trick but I don't think it could be. After all, how could they be so exactly like them if they weren't really them?

But I had a question for everyone. Has everyone seen someone from their home? I saw someone from mine, and I want to know. I want to make sure it isn't just me.

[She pauses and fiddles with one of the flashlights. When she speaks again it isn't much above a whisper.]


He said he'd find me no matter what. Maybe he brought them here after all.


Sorry.

Who did he bring?

You already know I've got one from mine.

[horseish]

The other dead people. What if he found a way here to get me and he brought them with him?

[While Theo has a fantastic and technical explanation for how they could be so real, he decides that's not exactly what she's looking for.]

I haven't seen anyone from my home yet, however I've seen others who have.

[horseish]

Is it most people, do you think?

[deadmanbusiness]

In a city this size it's kind of hard to say, but from the looks on the network chatter it certainly seems like it.

[spiderkid]

I don't think any one person could bring all these dead people from everyone's homes. It's gotta be the City.

[horseish]

I thought so. What's any of it for?

[deadmanbusiness]

I don't think it's for anything.

[horseish]

Did you find out why your uncle was here?

[horseish]

But it's hurting all these people. What's the point if it isn't for anything?

[deadmanbusiness]

To be honest, I don't know. I don't even know if there is a point.

[spiderkid]

To kill me, probably. Not a huge surprise.

[horseish]

He's tried to do that before?

[horseish]

I don't understand it.

[deadmanbusiness]

Neither do I.

It's probably just something to make the deities laugh.

[spiderkid]

It's how he died the first time.

[horseish]

You killed him?

[horseish]

It's a mean thing to laugh at. I'd never laugh at people getting scared and hurt.

[spiderkid]

No! It was an accident. The police said so.

[deadmanbusiness]

You're more mature than they are.

It would be very difficult for one person to come here purposefully, if possible at all. The mechanics of this dimension wouldn't allow for it.

[In other words, not Bobby's fault.]

[horseish]

What kind of accident?

[horseish]

Even if they used magic?

[candothat]

I know very little about magic, but I doubt that it's to blame.

[horseish]

What do you think is to blame?

[candothat]

Whatever is to blame for everything else that happens in the City.

[spiderkid]

There was an explosion.
