He might have been in the woods; he's somewhere out there most of the time. But I can't imagine whatever caused everything here didn't reach outside of town.

[Well, Lakeside got something else apparently. But that's further away.]

He never answers questions though. I don't trust him.

From all I've heard so far, it seems like whatever happened here was more or less global.

[ If not the whole world, then the continent, at the very least. ]

No. I don't think anyone among us does. [ Nor should they, given his unwillingness to actually tell them much of anything. ] The Forest Talkers probably know something too. If only they were more inclined to talk, rather than shoot.

[solitarysoul]

Yeah...it's been months, if just this island went dark someone would have come to check on it by now.

Bill didn't seem to know anything but maybe I just don't know the right questions to ask.

Same could be said for almost anyone we run into here. [ Though Jim does think "What happened here?" is pretty straightforward. ]

Well, not much we can do about it right now. I could go for a cup of tea, you?

[solitarysoul]

Mm. It doesn't help to just keep going around in circles about all of it.

Oh! Um, I should have offered you some, since you were in trouble before you got here. But, uh, sure. Tea sounds good.

[Warm anything usually did.]

[itio]

No, it's fine. [ He shakes his head, still a bit breathless but at least managing to walk on his own two feet. ] I'll bounce back. I'm tougher than I look.

[ A little joke, just to lighten the mood. ]

[solitarysoul]

That's good, we seem to need that here.

[Levi himself was too dumb to just stop and lay down.]
