[Morning finds Emil lugging a bulging knapsack up the road to the bridge near CH #1, the ends of what look like a couple of glass bottles sticking out of it. Whatever is inside it seems to be rather heavy-- he has to stop every few yards to rest, but he's determined to make it to his destination despite this.

Once he gets to the bridge, he unzips the knapsack and begins unpacking the contents. Inside is a whole array of glass bottles, each one containing a letter addressed to a friend who has left Luceti. Richter, Marta, Tenebrae, Horatio, Luke, Faize, Lloyd, Genis-- each one of them (as well as several other people) gets a letter. He figures that with all of the creepy supernatural stuff going on lately, maybe, just maybe, if he drops these bottles into the stream now, they'll somehow reach the intended recipients. It can't hurt to try, right? If nothing else, it might make him feel a little bit better about hearing voices and seeing things.

... or so he hopes.]

These? Oh, um... these are nothing, really, I was just, um...

[They're totally not messages in bottles, what are you talking about?]

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

...Oh, were you going to put water in those bottles? If your water isn't working, you can always come get some from us, you know!

[knightofratatosk]

Actually, um... they have messages in them. I thought that since all of this weird stuff has been going on lately, maybe if I sent messages to some of the people who went home, they'd be able to get them now.

...

[She smiles.]

You really think that'll work, Emil? I wonder... say, do you have any more bottles?

[knightofratatosk]

I don't know, but I thought I'd give it a try. Here, I have a few extras in case I broke one of them...

[He'll reach into the bottle and search around for a moment until he finds an empty one, which he pulls out and hands to her.]

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

[She takes it] Thank you! ...Wait here, okay? I'll be right back!

[She runs off to grab a pad of paper and a pencil. BRB.]

[knightofratatosk]

Okay, I won't go anywhere.

[So he'll just be chilling on the bridge until she gets back!]

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaand she comes back! With said paper and pencil.]

Whew... I got it! [And she begins writing... to Lloyd, Genis, Marta, Tenebrae, her father and grandmother, and even Richter.]

[knightofratatosk]

[She can write and he'll lean on the railing to look at the water.]

I hope they really do get these messages. At least then they'll know that I'm okay, even if I can't go back home just yet.

... do you think... do you think it's true that people forget about Luceti when they get sent home?

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

[She keeps on writing as she answers.]

...I didn't remember Luceti when I was sent back before. It felt really awful when I realized I had forgotten so many wonderful people.

[knightofratatosk]

... so it is true. Then... even if I write them letters, Horatio and Luke and Faize won't remember me.

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

B-But, maybe if they see them, they'll jog their memories and they'll remember! Maybe if I had gotten a letter when I was sent home, I would have remembered what happened here... [Like, you know, being Lloyd's girlfriend. So much for that. ;; ]

[knightofratatosk]

You really think that will work? Or... maybe they'll still remember while they're spirits here. Maybe they'll remember if they get the letters now, but not if they got them at home.
