I Need To See A Woman About Some Fish...
Between reading Randolph Carter's diary forward, backward, and sideways and practicing inscribing the seal on multiple objects, Dinadan's been very, very busy lately. So busy that he almost forgot to get in contact with Cait about which bay had suddenly and mysteriously emptied itself of all sea creatures in preparation for the rise of the temple.

He's just calling it "the temple". Names have been known to have power, and he really doesn't want to attract any more attention than he undoubtedly already has.

But now he's pretty sure that he can do the seal in his sleep (and he's even carved it onto his sword -- it can't hurt), and there's no reason that he shouldn't call and every reason that he should.

He dials and hopes like hell he's got the right number.

	Cait didn't expect her cell to ring. Not many people had her number and she barely remembered to carry the thing. Surface electronics and water usually didn't mix well. "Hello?" Cait answered. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That sounded like her. "Cait? Hi, it's Dinadan. I've got a question, and it might seem a little weird, but I promise, it's totally legit cape stuff." Dinadan winced. "And I know you don't like cape stuff, but I'll keep this quick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Din? What's up?" He was right, she didn't like cape stuff, but she was smack dab in the middle of it. Daddy was going to have a coronary when he found out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dinadan takes a deep breath. Babbling like an idiot isn't going to help anything.

"You know those dreams that everyone's been having? Those really, really bad ones? I got a diary in the mail right before they started, by this guy named Randolph Carter, and it's got instructions in it for how to keep the Big Bad from rising and--" He winced again. "Sorry, rambling. I've got a few locations here, and I need to know if the fish and other animals have suddenly left one of them."

	"I got a diary too," she said. "I'm working on gathering everyone who got one. Where are you at right now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You did? Oh good." Dinadan collapses onto a chair, rubbing his hand over his eyes in relief. "I'm still in Ivy Town. Where are you? I can grab a few things and phone-hop if you want everyone in one place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm in Gotham right now, but if you could meet us in San Francisco, that'd be awesome. Apparently that's where things are going to go down. And Din, whatever you do, don't give into any impulses you may have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Give me the number for Titan's Tower and I can be there in the next five minutes," Dinadan says, hopping to his feet again and scrambling for his sword and Randolph Carter's diary. He pauses as he reaches for his messenger bag, though. "Impulses?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Things you wouldn't normally do. Violence, sex, anything that you wouldn't normally do. Try to have more control than normal. It will be hard, but you must resist." "I'll text you their number." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay." Dinadan eyes his messenger bag. It's bulging a bit more than usual, but all of the things he'd put in there had seemed so useful. "What about doing things I usually do more? Should I be worried about that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-02-22 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. Definitely. Anything that you really really want to do. Bad or good. Giving in would be bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonoftheatom 2010-02-22 01:54 am UTC (link)
	"Okay. I'll see you in San Francisco." Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no. He really doesn't want to empty out his bag. The stuff in there would be so useful. Maybe if he just takes what he can carry in his pockets...? (Reply to this)(Parent)
