Oh!

...Are you not getting stuck and lost in dark places?

[Don't worry Reira, that's literally Everyone in the library right now.]

I can keep people safe until the darkness clears. [If only it hasn't trapped him too.] Are you out there?

Yeah.

Niisama and I were coming back using Kage, because people started fighting on the radio, so it seemed like a good idea to go home, but...

[Welp.]

...Then it got dark, and it feels like the shelves are different now... ...So we're moving slower now...

[That isn't a name he recognizes in security, so it sounds like they're alone. But he could use a direction first.]

Do you know which direction you are headed, or what your surroundings looked like before the shadows crept in?

Yeah!

[A surprisingly positive note.] I made a map!

Where we were, you just had to go straight, and then at the end turn left where there were lots of beanbag chairs with books...and after that, the Carnival would be there, just straight ahead.

...We were still in the first straight part, but... ...I've never seen any of these shelves...

Yes, I believe that is a trick to the magic. [They were very close to the carnival, though. He doesn't know how useful that map is going to be, but.] Can you stay where you are and keep your radio on? If it seems dangerous, run and alert me, but I am going to try finding you.

Ah-

[WAIT BUT...BUT-] Ummm...But Lambert said to look for other people...

Should I just stop until you know if you can find us or not..?

Well. I am looking for you now, so I need you to stay in place. If you continue to wander around, I will have no way of knowing if you are moving closer to me or away.

If you sense danger, then you run, but keep your radio so that you can tell me what is happening.

[Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

A COMPROMISE THEN.] ....I'll stay in one spot...and if it seems like a bad idea to stay, I'll move, and tell you when I'm moving, if that works?

[The reason it's a compromise to her is that it's not quite 'danger' she's referring to...more of a gut feeling, like she Should be in a different hall, sort of like when she was wandering around for another book.

It's probably the best way to stay alive in this mess though.]

[That's called intuition, Reira, it's designed to keep you alive.]

Good. I will find you as quickly as I can.

Okay-!

[Anyway good luck with that.]

[ the world's most uncomfortable pause before, ]

I'm at the carnival. I can help those you bring.

[ And here, perhaps, is a surprising voice: ]

The iron! Do you still have it at the Carnival?

[ Cole's tone of voice is 100% 'I do not like this and am a bit worried about how this conversation will end' ]

I gave it back to Childermass. [ there's another, smaller uncomfortable pause before Cole continues. ] I think I know where he keeps it, though.

[ and if Cole's wrong, there's always the option of breaking and entering and rifling through Childermass's stuff. sorry, Childermass. ]

[ 'The place where Childermass keeps it' is usually 'on him,' in Lambert's experience, but at least he can assume Childermass is armed, probably.

As it is, all Cole gets is a sharp, impatient noise and the sound of running feet. Bye, little ghost friend. ]

Stay in the carnival. [He hopes he doesn't have the emphasize it, but damn it he's going to because there's already too many people wandering lost in the darkness.]

I will, [ Cole responds, as if it's completely obvious. ] But I'm here if they need me. People should know.

The Void of Demons has taken me away from the true path. My crimson breast shall not forget your aid in locating the Drifting Palace of Dreams.

[He's asking for help getting back to the carnival.]

(OOC: I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this. Thanks.)

[Wh... what.] I... hello. Can you describe to me where in the library you are?

[Man this is embarrassing, but...]

Um. Yeah, I'm still in the library.

[He was so absorbed in trying to consume all the data around him that he totally missed almost all the radio broadcasts, including Sans' one to buddy up. He has Pod 153 with him, does that count?]

You sure you can find me? Ever since the hallways went dark, I can't make it back to the Carnival.

That seems to be the problem, but attempting to regroup in the hallways is the best option we have right now. Which part of the library were you in before it started? Have you moved?

[Well...]

It'd be easier to mark where I was in the library if there was any logic to how they ordered their books.

[Grumble grumble.]

I tested the corridors a few times, but I can stay where I am.

They all seem to reroute anywhere but the carnival.

Move if you sense danger, and keep your radio on. We're already losing people.

Roger that.

[A little while later.]

Hey Syrlya? [He sounds a bit anxious.] Can you look for Rita first?

I make no promises. I am taking whoever I find first. [Which is, frustratingly, no one so far.

He's keeping his radio open, though, so he's certainly hearing the chaos.] Isn't she with a group?

[Joyful, isn't it?]

Not anymore. They're apparently gone. She was by the Carnival entrance, but now she's not.

[Hm. That's a problem.] It may be advisable to not attempt to return to the carnival so long as these shadows are rerouting everyone.

[Hm.]

I'll make my way towards the corridors near the Carnival's entrance and wait for you there. If the passage becomes unblocked before we meet up, I'll let you know.
