Thanks Nik, I may need it.

"Hey girl, did you hear that? I heard it. It said Hunger, and that was what made me do ... well, whatever it was that I did when I ate the stoat back at the ritual circle. Coupled with what the well told me ... whoever did that to me is up there!"

Jack looks up at the top of the well for a moment and promptly reconsiders jumping up there; that sunlight guy must really be going enthusiastically over the stoats.

"Well, good luck to whoever it is up there - I'm certainly not going up into the scorching sun.
...
That blacksmith better survive. Also the majordomo. I've got business with the both of them and it wouldn't be very nice to have it spoiled."

Jack turns again to the minder kid.

"Sorry for the rambling. How do the basics go, if you don't mind explaining? Judging by the current apocalypse going on up there we might be down here a while."

Thank you; I will be there shortly.

Xan ambles toward where the Doctor indicated, occasionally asking ARESTEVE for directions. Just before s/he reaches the lift, s/he decides to check her/his messages, since s/he'd recalled receiving one when s/he exited the anomaly.

-revelation about Origin, Lurker, etc-

"...fuck."

Despite this reveal wrecking a significant part of the plan Xan had meticulously crafted, he continued onward. It could still be salvaged, and eternity hers, if she worked carefully.

And the details of how the Lurker was being held back temporarily interested him...

Xan shunted these thoughts back into his subconscious. She'd let them stew there until they came up with an answer for him; they always did. For now, there was something more important - it was time to once again meet her maker.

There were words to have with him.

Do as the Doctor says. Savour the beginning of the end.

Should I move into PM conversations about ... things now, or after the next post?

Imperium summed up in a minute

I thought it might be something like that. I'm okay with waiting, I've done it long enough that a little more won't hurt.

No problem! Hopefully the two of them get the opportunity to work together again at some point.

((Hey it's all good - I'm perfectly okay with waiting a while for posts if it's what you need to do.))

"Well, that was interesting. What now?"

Jiggle slightly in an unnerving manner as we ponder our next move.
