[Slid under Helikaon’s door at the Sour Vintage]
Helikaon,
I tried to knock. I assume you are doing your ‘awake dreaming’ and I don’t mean to disturb you but I don’t think this can wait!
I just went to speak to Xan and... she was dancing. The same dance as before.
What if whatever this Ken Josh has done is permanent? A kind of sickness that will lie dormant in their heads... a hidden madness from Lutheria.
We really should try and keep an eye on them.
Most of them say they were dancing of their own accord and I want to believe them! But Braz actually admitted he felt a compulsion to dance… and Xan, despite swearing up and down that she didn’t feel the same compulsion, looked really uncomfortable when he mentioned it. I don’t want to say she was lying but, well…
In any case, it worries me a little that we were the only ones that didn’t dance. If this is a Lutherian trick, we might be the only ones safe from it.
Oh, please come talk to me when you are awake. Or… finished? Ah… I don’t know how this works…
Calliope
