Week 2: Thursday

[ercnerd]

[Dinnertime means one last trip to the cafeteria before the doors close on all of them. Sieghart helps himself to a meal when he waves in Caleb's direction.]

Hey. How's the voice?

[katzepaw]

[He's sitting having a cup of tea. His voice is still raspy, but he doesn't have a serious throat wound anymore.]

Better. Healing potion.

[ercnerd]

I won't ask for the details.

[His gaze falls on the tea.]

How long do you suppose it'll take to recover?

[katzepaw]

I don't care if you ask. The details you gave were a big help to me.

[He'll take a sip of the tea.]

Not long. I was lucky enough to have a friend with a voucher for a healing potion. Throat is still healing, but as you can see, I can speak, and that is the important thing. Losing my voice for me is maybe like. . . you losing your sword arm?

[ercnerd]

Both of my arms are my sword arm.

[He grins before taking a bite of his food.]

But I get what you're saying. So, did you guys find anything?

[katzepaw]

Rupert got. . . a sheet of paper. Looked like a sign in sheet. Had the names of the dead on it. Didn't get a close look but I suppose it supports what we keep being told, they're being kept somewhere and not really dead.

[Shrugs.]

I don't know if I buy that.

[ercnerd]

. . . Are they saying that they never really died in the first place?

[katzepaw]

It's nothing so clear as that. The Dorm Heads have suggested the people expelled aren't killed. This list. . . would seem to suggest something as well, but nothing clearly stated.

[ercnerd]

It's possible to restore the body if the soul is preserved. Could it be something like that?

[katzepaw]

It could be. It isn't unheard of for me, either. I just don't know if I believe the implications I'm drawing from information on a sheet.

[ercnerd]

Isn't that what we've been doing?

You're right, though. These sheets are peculiar, but we should be careful about the conclusions we make based on them.

[katzepaw]

Let's see what else we find. Keep it in mind, but not make too many assumptions.

[ercnerd]

Mm.

Still, it'd be good news if that were true. That would mean there's a way to retrieve the souls we've lost.

[katzepaw]

I hope that turns out to be true, too. There's a lot of power here, it's not out of the question.

[ercnerd]

[He gazes at a nondescript spot on the wall ahead.]

. . . If there's a power like that . . . then . . .

[katzepaw]

[Hmm.]

We may be able to recover some of our losses, right?

[ercnerd]

. . . Ideally, we'll be able to recover all of them.
