July Arrivals

WHO: Arrivals
WHERE: The fountain park
WHEN: July 1, 12:00 PM
OPEN TO: ALL
WARNINGS: N/A
STATUS: CLOSED


In the snug circle of an old park, a fountain sits burbling beneath a broad, midday sky.

Once-neat paving stones have buckled and cracked from the slow nudge of wayward roots. Benches stand covered in lichen and rust. Three paths push into the underbrush like the spokes on a wheel, the encroaching forest creating lush tunnels through the dark.

But the fountain stands singular and pristine, brightly splashing in open rebellion of the deep, muffled sounds of a place long ago gone to seed. A vibration hums through the ground, there and quickly gone, and the water in the fountain trembles, lapping against the high walls of its cool, pale reservoir.

It is the first of July.

It is precisely twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

A beat. "Some of them might just be crazy," he says. Space, man.

"Just because I don't remember running into anything like that doesn't mean I didn't. We're gonna need more information to piece this thing together."

He nods to the fountain, the damp spots on the concrete. "Looks like there's more than a few of us around, and recently. What do you say we round up who we can and meet back here in twenty."

She appreciates having a plan, to the point it works like a balm on her soul. She needs to keep busy before she lets her mind wander away from her and go mad with wondering and assessing what-ifs and might-bes. "Maybe we should set the fountain up as the emergency meeting place," she suggests. "We can meet here in twenty minutes and anytime there might be something dangerous afoot."

Not that she's hoping for something dangerous, but a crisis might flush out some of the dangers of this place.

"Agreed," he says, and it sounds like he's about as happy for it. This isn't the mission he'd been expecting when he got up this morning, but then, when do things ever go according to plan? You adapt. You set new objectives, and you accomplish them. Whatever this is, they're going to figure it out.

"I'll take east," he says with a nod one direction as he steps off. He's assuming that's east, anyway, judging by the angle of the sun. "Catch you in twenty."
