Night 010, before midnight

Anyone that gets the urge to wander into the stone maze branching off from the garden is to consult these notebooks first.

The gazebo inside of the maze is to be avoided at all costs. If anyone or anything tempts you to go into it, do not listen to them. If you learn of someone planning to go near it, stop them.

One misstep in that place could cost us everything.

Those with anything else to contribute regarding the maze may do so here, if they so wish.



Also, if anyone knows a bloke called Estinien, I have a message for him. Tell him his little green girl is safe.

[Kaito isn't the only one upset tonight. But Walter's forcing himself to keep it together for now.]

I've no doubt that this is exactly why that happened.

Do you need a healer for Gilly?

[whiteofcrime]

No, he's fine now. He got healed somehow by one of the other Birds I think.

He's really scared and he's clinging to me. I can't leave him alone.

[angel_of_death]

I'm not asking you to.

Do you need anything else for him?

[whiteofcrime]

I don't think so. He just needs rest.
Maybe food, but I can get that myself from the kitchen.

Before I forget - while he was being healed I saw what he looked like.
Did you see the boy ghost hanging around the kitchen? That's him.

[angel_of_death]

Curious. I wonder how that is.

[whiteofcrime]

What do you mean how? He's obviously dead.

[ Except...he sure had held a real, live boy in his arms for a moment. ]

[angel_of_death]

I can tell we're going to have some rather interesting conversations in our future.

[whiteofcrime]

????
I just mean I figure magic turned him into a crow. Maybe it took his soul or something and we're seeing after-images?

[angel_of_death]

It's a possibility to consider.

[whiteofcrime]

Are you going to actually explain anything or do I have to come find you?

[angel_of_death]

I don't have any solid information that would help for this particular matter. But I'd be happy to bounce some theories back and forth with you if you're interested in the subject.

That said, I think the idea of their bodies and souls being separated is worth looking into.

[whiteofcrime]

I wonder if it'll explain why we come back completely whole as well.

I don't get this kind of magic at all but I still want to understand it.

[angel_of_death]

Likewise. I'll let you know if I find out anything.

[Understanding what happened to the children and how was the first step to potentially undoing it, so far as he was concerned.]
