Thanks, Ben [Mingle]

Date: 4th of January 20, 3 hours after everyone came out of the cavesCharacters: OPEN


Three hours after everyone came out of the caves, an earthquake of the magnitude 5.7 shakes the echo boundary.

Up on the ruins, a single block from one of the lower walls gets dislocated and falls.

Down in the city and villages, things go a bit worse. A couple of sheds collapse, things fall over and off things, and some houses are left with cracks in their walls and might end up condemned. A number of telegraph poles fall over and a few on cars. There's three injured and no fatalities over all, and a few related car accidents because people got distracted that again go without fatalities.

...And, of course, the Media are back. The next day, the Sun titles "IS THERE A NEW CRACK IN THE EARTH'S CRUST??? Another earthquake strikes Mossgate 4 houses condemned, 10 admitted to hospital, powerlines down", but newspapers with more journalistic integrity send reporters as well.

Someone else is back, too - Numbered will see Mr Neutral, Mr Evil and Mr Helpful wander the streets.

Since this is now post-discussion with Mr. Neutral...

It's not as if Walter can't occupy himself in his own head, these days...

After all, he has a lot to think about, especially now.

He looks worried again by the time Ben returns, but seems to shake it off as they get back to work.

"Thanks," he says, accepting the drink and taking a sip first.

He notices that look from his friend and asks after handing him his drink, “That dull already? Or is it something else?” Benjiro keeps attention on Walter as he sits on his stool and removes his face mask to drink from his cup.

"No, but I found Mr. Neutral yesterday," Walter begins to explain, staring down at the drink distantly.

"During the conversation, I had another Echo. Two memories, one a set of them."

There's a very pregnant pause.

"Remember when I said that there was a memory of Webmind urging someone to take their own life? There's more where that came from. A lot more."
