[awwnoun]

Hey, Ecks? You there? I gotta tell you something.

ten minutes later

[awwnoun]

... Ecks, come on, pick up, missy.

an hour later

[awwnoun]

Neither me or DS can get ahold of you, so - so. I'm just assuming...

[ His voice breaks a little there, but he keeps going strong despite himself. ] I hope you come back. I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I hope you prove me wrong.

[He's starting to remember other people here in more than flashes, and he knows that he found something today that brought back a very strong memory. Which is why Ecks will get a picture and then a message.]

Found this. Do you want it?

[ecks]

YES
that is not a lie
I do not have to lie anymore
I want it

hey ecks
got a couple questions for you
first off i found this book the other night at the library thats like
its not about you because the character has a different name and im going to guess other details are different too
but its about a flesh golem still
i can save it and give it to you later or destroy it or just keep it depending what you want
which do you prefer
also
you have mn poisoning that makes you like stuffed animals right
how do you tell when its a problem vs when its just a weird side quirk thats still ok

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

the book could not be about me because I am not from here and the book is from here
I do not understand how there is a book about a flesh golem when there are not flesh golems in this world
is it a book about how the flesh golem was made?
is it a book about the flesh golem's history?
is it a biography book?

Doctor House says that it is mn poisoning that makes me like fake animals
when I cared more about having them than about following important rules it was a problem
when I stole one from Doctor House it was a problem and if I had hurt anyone for one it would be a problem
Doctor House thinks it is a problem because I carry many fake animals but I do not think that is a problem
it is not a problem if it does not hurt anyone and if it makes me feel happy

[It's not yet lockdown when Davesprite messages Ecks, but it's getting near. He's inside at least, doors blocked off to keep his anomaly from coming in, and trying to pass the tense wait is a part of why he's sending this. The other...]

all of them?
that is sad

Found you some spare parts.

[ Sending an attachment of an image of bodies ranging in various stages of decomposition. Mummified, boned, mangled... it's all there with signs that they didn't die naturally. ]

@Ecks | text | same night

[ecks]

spare parts?

I also found dead bodies

[Attached is a brief, heavily distorted video panning over the shallow grave she uncovered in the rooftop garden. These bodies are in a generally similar condition, though he might be able to make out the prophet symbol on each corpse's forehead. The distortion makes it difficult to make out what's on the video if one doesn't know what one is looking at, and only gets worse until it cuts off after about half a minute.]

@featherydouche; text; day 240

[mrcreamsicles]

yo ecks
how are you guys doing over there
i should be in the industrial zone in a couple days so i figured its about time i check in and figure out where i need to go

night 240 | text

[ecks]

we are alive and not injured
Castiel and I are alone now because Doctor House went the other direction with other people
we found a garden full of corpses and also a tower full of blood and bones and skin on the walls
today we found Zell and Zell's friends
finding them was preferable to finding the other things

to get to where I am you need to go to the buildings to the north and then use the skywalk that goes west along the northern wall
Castiel and I may return that way in the next few days

@featherydouche; text; morning 245

[mrcreamsicles]

hey ecks
are you and castiel ok
im sorry for not checking in sooner but the thing is everything was awful
and i didnt want to make you deal with the monster version of me because he was a cackling jackass

text

[ecks]

we are okay
Castiel was a fire elemental monster angel with animal heads again but he did not hurt me
I did not change
my father was here and he was not right and he said things I did not like but he is gone again now
are you okay mate?

@featherydouche; text; night 257 (let me know if you aren't okay with this)

[mrcreamsicles]

[It's not yet lockdown when Davesprite messages her.]

ecks sorry i have to do this but
this is an order
an important order you have to follow for your own safety
do not listen to house within the next five days if he tells you to do an experiment
like anything with smashing more tablets or that might be dangerous otherwise
he doesnt care about your life enough right now to be worried about the possibility of you not coming back
and i dont want you to die if you dont have to
do you understand

text | same night

[ecks]

acknowledged
I do not understand
I understand the order
I do not understand why
Doctor House is a moron but Doctor House does not want me to die
he is my friend

did you get treatment for your hand, yet?

text | night 259

[ecks]

no
I did not get treatment for my hand, yet
Doctor Watson is very far away

[godsspeed]

[ Castiel hadn't been able to make use of his tablet at all in the days he spent in the cells, but Ecks may have seen him in the background of messages posted by the others, swaying and talking to himself with his arms pinned down to his sides. He's looking considerably better now - still disoriented but alert, the eye of the prophet carved into his forehead healed over into scar tissue. ]

Ecks. This is Castiel. I'm sorry I couldn't contact you sooner, but I've returned. Are you okay?

morning 265 | video

[ecks]

[For once Ecks will match formats -- speaking is much easier than typing again lately, and she likes seeing Castiel's face, even if it's really Jimmy's face. She looks unwell; the pale parts of her face paler than usual.]

Castiel. This is Ecks. I am not okay but I will be okay later. Are you okay? Is Jimmy okay?

i need you to head to the police station and keep an eye on the morgue there tomorrow
we're looking for sherlock holmes
or a white human male

have Sherlock Holmes and the white human male died recently or do you think they are traveling to the morgue?

[advanced]

[This is perhaps the easiest of the four conversations he needs to have with other people, despite the subject matter he needs to bring up. He's fond of Ecks, and they understand one another fairly well, that should make this a softer blow.]

I need to talk to you about what you did to Mycroft Holmes.

text | same morning

[ecks]

why?

@hotstud_xxx; text; Night 305

[rubikscomplex]

i need you for something
where are you?
do you still have the card for that machine in the school?
and the keycard for the power plant gate?

text | night 305

[ecks]

I am at the hospital with Davesprite and the Cat and Karkat because Karkat is not dead anymore
I still have the card and the keycard
the keycard is notneeded now because the gate is open

what do you need

@duster, audio, Day 307

[bywolves]

... Hi, Ecks.

[ Of all the things that he remembers that didn't happen, he can't shake the feeling of missing Ecks, and it's driving him crazy. So... he tries. ]

I just wanted to - know how you're doing. This -- this is ridiculous, I'm --

[ And that's the end of his message. ]

[She checks her messages in the evening, and this evening she sees this one just after she's settled in for the night with Doctor House. She sets her tablet to convert incoming audio to text for privacy as she huddles up with her tablet in a corner.]

hi Royce
I am doing well
I am not dead
you are not dead?
you have messaged me you are not dead
hello

@jwatson; audio; Night 320

[jumpthegun]

Ecks, hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but were you just a part of that tablet seance Mr. Graham was running? I was able to talk to some of the data ghosts here in Norfinbury. They said you got something from Shelley and they want you to return it for us to be able to get through to the next area. I'm not sure what it is, but if you can search for what it might've been, that'd be really helpful.

Hope you're okay.

same night

[ecks]

I spoke with the ghosts also and it was like everything was lightning and I was lightning and everything I saw was lightning. I am okay but it was very strange.

Shelley gave me a photograph once but she did not say she wanted it back.

@w.graham - Morning 364

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

Keep an eye on them, Ecks. Sit on House if you have too, he's got a good streak of not dying going and should try to maintain that.

[ecks]

sitting on Doctor House works only temporarily
I cannot sit on him at all times and in all places

why did you and Doctor Hannibal leave

@duster, text, night 377

[bywolves]

[ It's random and he doesn't even know why he's doing it, but he's feeling melancholy and remembering a lot of different things, tonight, so: ]

I hope you're alright.
Be safe, Ecks.

text, same night

I am alright
I am alone now but I am alright
I am going to make program cards at the school
it is not a difficult thing to do
are you alright?
