Raleigh. Check-in. Status?

And two questions:

1. Any luck tracking down Sam?
2. I had a weird dream

[ That is not a question but Mako is exhausted and barely sleeping, so that is... what Raleigh gets. ]

[righthemisphere]

[Said the kettle to the pot. It's honestly amazing that anything Raleigh types is coherent.]

Yeah what the hell was that!?

We're okay. My place took some damage but I think it'll hold. Wu offered his place if ours collapse.

Um. Heads up I may have just sent him on a mission to the moon by accident? Keep an eye on him.

1 I've been keeping an eye on his place but I haven't seen him. I'm not sure if he still lives there. Watching it anyway.

2 Was it about him?

[arclightning]

Nothing good. Makes me think this place is starting to physically fall apart, too. It's a good thing people already started stocking up. I think those supply caches are going to be necessary.

...how did you do that? Is that what he was talking about earlier? What did you say?

[ Why are you and Chuck corrupting his boyfriend. ]

You know more about him than me. Any place he would frequent? Anywhere we can look? We can't just let him stay out there murdering people.

It was.

1/2

[righthemisphere]

Mako I can't go back. I'm not going back. Whatever happens I can't leave Chuck.

[Deleted as quickly as he types it out. Too vulnerable.]

I asked him if he was as high as the moon on his meds. I'm not sure he knew what I meant. If he tries to actually get to the moon it's my fault. Sorry in advance..

Sam and I used to go running together. He's pretty private and when he stopped showing up I thought he'd woken up. I guess I was wrong.

Gives me an idea stand by

2/2 five minutes later

[righthemisphere]

We may have a problem.

You know that board thing that lists every sleeper's name?

[arclightning]

[ Mako's breath stopped somewhere near "we have a problem," and it hasn't restarted. ]

What'd you see?

[ Or not see, as it were: there are quite a few names missing from that, names Mako has inscribed into his journal so he doesn't forget. ]

[righthemisphere]

There are two Sam Winchesters

1 / 2

[arclightning]

[ ... ]

2 / 2

[arclightning]

Error? Or something with timelines? Is that a common name on Earth?

[righthemisphere]

Sam is pretty common but not Winchester.

I don't think the list makes errors?

I mean maybe given the state of this place but I don't know. He's got a brother here in town called Dean. His name was listed twice as well. If anyone knows where Sam is it's him but he won't give up his brother.

In any case I think he's hiding. I had the weirdest dream about him. I didn't think much of it but if you had one two then maybe it means something. I wonder if they're connected.

[arclightning]

[ Not good news at all. Two Sam Winchesters makes it entirely possible that one Sam Winchester traded seeds with Raleigh and an entirely different one murdered Wu in cold blood because he was too nice. It's an easy excuse to hide behind. It would be so easy to lie, to point fingers at the other.

Fuck. ]

We're just going to have to figure out which Sam Winchester is the wolf in sheepgoat's clothing. One of them will crack. One of them did this.

What happened in yours?

[righthemisphere]

[Fuck is right. It's just too easy.]

I'm gonna try Dean, I'll let you know what he says.


I asked Sam why he did it. And he told me.

Yours?

[arclightning]

Thank you, Raleigh.

Basically the same. He looked like Wu at first, and then. Showed himself. I asked the same thing. He told me it was because Wu was so nice and defenseless.

[ It's very lucky that this is over text because Raleigh does not have to hear what would be the venom in Mako's voice, or see the look on his face. ]

[righthemisphere]

[It's not much of a stretch to imagine. There's a similar vitriol in the back of his throat.]

That's what he said to me, too. I woke up before we got much further.

Maybe these weren't just dreams.

[arclightning]

It felt different.

I don't know how to explain what I mean by that but it didn't feel like a regular dream. Everything else around it seemed like a dream and he seemed real.

He said he did it to punish somebody. It wasn't clear if he meant Wu.

[righthemisphere]

He seemed real to me, too.

And I think he did it for fun because he could.

[arclightning]

Yeah.

The worst reason.

What do we do when we find him? Killing him isn't going to solve anything.

[righthemisphere]

I mean, it would make me feel better. That's something.

[arclightning]

He'll just come back. We need a permanent solution, or at least one that lasts longer.

[righthemisphere]

We could bury him alive

[arclightning]

Raleigh

2 /2 oops forgot

[arclightning]

Not an option.

[righthemisphere]

Why?

You got something better?

[arclightning]

Not exactly but burying someone alive is just

We can't do that. Prison, maybe. There are special prisons back home for powerful people like him.

[righthemisphere]

[Look Raleigh never said he wasn't a dark horse.]

I guess.

There are special cells in FEAR. I bet Chuck would know more or Vira-Lorr.
