      Q: Okay. What happens to things we create, like with
      characters? Are they merely thought-forms, being extensions of
      ourselves? Or do they … CAN they move on and become more?

      ELIAS: This is dependent upon your choices and how you are
      manipulating energy.

      Now; in this, let us view what you in physical focus term to be
      artistic expressions, in the area of musical composition and of
      painting expressions. These are two obvious examples within your
      physical creations that you may view certain qualities of the
      expressions.

      Now; in this, some expressions, within either musical compositions
      or expressions of illustrations or paintings, may appear to be
      merely an expression of the individual and hold the energy signature
      of that individual, but they appear or seem to not extend any
      farther, so to speak; this is figuratively speaking.

      In other terms, you may encounter other types of musical
      compositions or illustrated or painted compositions, and they appear
      quite differently. They appear not merely to hold the energy
      signature of the individual that has created them, but they also
      seem to hold an energy of their own, as if they have been created
      into an entity of their own.

      Now; the reason that you connect with this recognition of these
      types of expressions is that the composition does hold the energy
      signature of the individual that has created it, but what it also
      may hold is an aspect of that individual focus which has been
      allowed to be projected outwardly and has been allowed to continue
      independently of the focus.

      This is a similar action to fragmentation, but in very physical,
      figurative terms, a much, much smaller scale.

      This would be likened to any individual, any focus, any essence
      projecting an aspect of itself into any other element within its
      physical creation – a creature, a plant, a rock. It matters not. You
      hold the ability within essence to be projecting an aspect of
      essence or of a particular focus into any of these elements to be
      experiencing the creations of that element of your reality, such as
      a creature or any vegetation, an ocean, a mountain, a rock. It
      matters not.

      In similar manner, you may project an aspect of yourself into one of
      your creations or all of your creations or several of your
      creations, and in this, not merely you shall recognize that this
      creation appears to take on, so to speak, a life of its own, in your
      terms, but other individuals shall recognize this quality also, for
      you have allowed yourself to project an aspect of yourself into your
      physical creation, therefore breathing into it its own
      manifestation, allowing it to be continuing within its own element,
      so to speak, within its own right, in a manner of speaking. Are you
      understanding?

      Therefore, this be your choice of how you shall be creating
      within your creativity and what you shall project within it. Appear
      it not strange to you that certain individuals may be deemed as
      great masters and they shall be revered for their creations and
      their creations shall be enduring throughout your linear physical
      time, and other individuals may be creating and their expressions of
      creativity do not hold this quality? This is the reason…”

      Elizabeth Tattler giggled to herself as she recalled her escapades of the night before. Why, it was years since she had been out dancing, and let alone in foom! Surprisingly it had been Finnley’s idea. A bit of a dark horse really that Finnley. Apparently she went to the foom parties regularly, on the pretext of dancing, but in reality to save on her laundry costs.

      Oh what a gloorious feeling! The techtonook music blaring, stroobe lights flashing, wet bubbly foom up to her neck. It wasn’t long before she had cast all her inhibitions aside, along with her cloothing, and was mooving and grooving along with the best of them.

      Who said dirty dancing couldn’t be good clean fun?

      Even Finnley’s rather disparaging sideways glances had not been able to diminish her exooberant joy.

      Elizabeth wondered what Lemone’s “Words of Comfort for the Descending” quotation was for that day. His words were always so appropriate it was almost eerie.

      When it’s too elaborate, it’s too weirdo, and when it’s pure delirium, it’s increasingly rubbish

      Well, perhaps the connection was not straight away obvious, but the sheer genius of the man’s mind never failed to render Elizabeth almost speechless with admiration.

      A report of another typhoon (named Tatiana) added in the really long list of this active season was announced at the radio.
      All flights to Long Pong and the vicinity were delayed until further news broadcast.

      She put her tutu back on her generous breast and looked around her at all those naked actors…
      She was weary of this life as a porn star. Her wig, she won’t loose her again, her blond wig…
      When she was young she was a cootch dancer, and it wasn’t really much better but at least her father could protect her.
      Now she was alone, facing all those brutes.

      Rosemary, who played the role of Finnley as a woman, just slapped Norm in the face.
      You butcher! you scratched my nipples… you have no manners, really!

      He laughed carelessly and her impression of him as a stupid lad just deepened.

        Hector suddenly felt outside of his body and became only a spectator of his own life.
        It was like he was a master in karate (whatever that was) and he took care of Finnley in the library in no time.

        He realized Finnley had a real breast, and quite generous… A surge of adrenaline overflowed his mind and all he remembered after that was the feeling of the carpet on his naked knees and the generous forms of Finnleys in his hands.

        Lady Theresa Eaglestone, know as T’Eggy to her friends, waited in the potting shed at Pilston Manor (which was how the locals pronounced Pillaughpiffleston).

        “There” said Becky with a grim smile “Much easier. As if I would remember how to spell that!” Not for the first time, Becky wondered if it might be a good deal easier to write her own Reality Play and forget all this collaborative nonsense. It was hard enough to remember her own story lines, never mind trying to keep track of all the other bizarre additions as well. “Now who the devil is Hector Coon?” Thankfully this Pillaughpiffleston thread was a new one, and Becky had a fairly free rein with it: nothing was yet decided regarding the location and time frame, so if she was quick about it, and made her entry before the others, the ball was in her court.

        T’Eggy (Becky continued to write) shivered in the cool breeze that was blowing into the draughty old potting shed. She turned the the carved watermelon rind over and over in her hands, puzzling over what possible significance it may have. Surely it was a clue, or at the very least a symbol of some aspect of inner reality, but what? And what did Hector know that she didn’t know?

          “What on earth is Al suggesting now, I wonder” mused Becky, who was catching up with the latest additions to the Reality Play. Frowning, she wondered how to handle it. It was often a challenge when one of the other writers interfered with her story line plans.

          “Well, be honest, Becky” she said to herself “You were floundering a bit with all this boring tropical romance stuff, wafting around the Facility with nothing more interesting to do than sip cool drinks and wink at Gayesh.”

          Becky put the sheaf of printed pages on the table beside her, lost in thought. The warm still evening air was beginning to be stifling, and she felt trapped, smothered in the blue velvet embrace of the night, sickened by the scent of the perfumed flowers and rotting fruit, and suddenly bored beyond endurance.

          “I’m going back home” she decided. “I’ll leave a deposit of cells here, swap places with Becky Tooh, and she can come back here and take her chances with Gayesh and the clone experiment.”

          Perhaps her babies and her lush of a husband back home would be more exciting.

          “I can always swap back again later if it gets tedious in New Venice” she added, having a moment of trepidation at the thought of her responsibilities as a mother of triplets. She liked to keep her options open, keep an escape plan on the back burner.

          With a light heart and a spring in her step, she grabbed the papers off the table and ran upstairs to pack.

          “Maybe a stop over in Long Pong on the way” she decoded. “Oh look at that!” she said to herself “I meant to say decided and wrote decoded instead. Pfft” she grumbled “That must be because I’m worried about decoding all the other strange additions to the Reality Play that have been spewed forth lately. Sheesh, do Al and Sam honestly think I will ever catch up now? Oh bugger it all, Long Pong, here I come!”

          This door is influenced by the energy you irradiate.

          You have to trust your energy in order for it to lead you to the most fulfilling place.

          Irtak drew his hand closer to the rippling surface of the door. Its aspect was so changing that it was like he was seeing all the tiniest elements that composed the matter, whatever it was. Hesitating, he asked Leormn.

          — Are you trying one of your tricks on me? It’s like I’m hypnotized.

          He’s not trying to lure you in… said Jeckle.
          The vibration you are currently feeling is the resonance of your energy with the one filtering through that door. said Heckle. I suspect it comes from another realm…
          But it is close to this one, Jeckle added. His muzzle quivered with excitement. I feel a friendly energy filtering from the other side.

          The waves of curiosity emitted by his friends were compelling, and Leormn could feel it. He himself was very interested by what he could feel was some kind of counterpart of himself. He was familiar with the energy but it was somewhat different from his own.

          Our strong desire is maintaining the door open. We can go safely through it and return in no time… he suggested in a soft persuasive tone.

          Arona, who was feeling a bit forgotten, grunted and added a tad dubious :
          — I’m not sure we should do it. We should tell the others… Where are they by the way?

          Apparently, the dragons and the boy were more fascinated by what was leaking out of her drawing. She’d been a bit surprised that one of her creations… if one could call the few brushstrokes a creation… that it could produce such an odd reaction. She couldn’t help but notice that the two words were anagrams.

          Leormn looked at her with a renewed interest.

          I’m feeling you are connected to that other realm, dear Arona. We all are in a way, but it’s like your lineage came from that… gate. Would you dare find out about your origin?

          She looked at him dubiously. His gaze was so intense that one moment…

          — Are you serious? she asked.

          He grinned… Who knows… if you don’t go you may never find out ;)) and I’m sure the others can take care of themselves when we are gone.

          Saying that he jumped on the other side like he was acting on a whim.

          The twins looked at each other and followed him… and Irtak was next…
          What was she to do?
          It was almost as if the door was staring at her. Challenging her… and she didn’t really like to be alone in these dark corridors.
          She jumped in and felt completely stretched out for what seemed a few seconds. She almost lost sense of who she was when an image started to form in her mind.

          It expanded until she was surrounded by a warm sensation of well being and lightness. She was completely safe in this place.
          A sudden woosh and a sensation of cold. She fell on the floor, her members suddenly failing her. The light was completely different and she couldn’t hear anything. Panic began to overwhelm her and she realized she couldn’t emit any sound either.

          As suddenly as it was gone, her sense of hearing reappeared.

          Who was shouting like that?

          AronaArona!

          The directedness in the tone was enough to make her recover her balance. She stopped shouting and began to notice her other senses… nothing particular at first, but she had the weird impression that it was different. Looking around her, she saw that the dragons were sniffing around like puppies and Irtak was following them like one of them.

          — Where are we? she asked Leormn.
          The sound of her voice was lower-pitched than usual, and Leormn started to laugh at her look of dismay.

          Hahaha! I don’t know yet… but we have all the time to discover.

          — Can’t we come back to the cave now? I don’t feel comfortable here… look at the sand, it’s purple… maybe it’s some kind of bacteria or something, maybe it’s contagious…

          He gave her one of those irritating wink. She was about to retort bluntly when she realized there was no way back.
          The door had disappeared.

          The smooke of her pipe was creating interesting shapes flooting away from her.
          Elizabeth had the weird impression that her story was taking an uncontrollable turn.
          She woold have written a torrid sex scene with Phoebe and the yoong Russian on the submarine, but it was as if Finnley’s eyes were constantly reminding her of her own nymphoomaniac behavior. She had to let it unexpressed except in her imagination.

          Looking at the last curls of smooke, it was as if the pook-marked face of Pavel was taking life before her eyes. Thanks to her new croop, her feelings were far far away… She let the smooked face decomposed in a gracious gray whale.

          She giggled thinking of Finnley’s disapproval… maybe she’ll write that scene after all.
          She took a sheet of paper and a pen, but soon realized the words were not foorming as expected. The thud prooduced by the pen rolling on the floor was amusing too.

          Ooh!

          The thud prooduced by her body rolling on the floor was more disturbing… and the last thing she saw before she lost consciousness was Finnley’s disapproving look… maybe she had written that scene after all…

          A smile on her face she began to snoore soundly.

            Well, I wonder what your Gayesh is about Tina said to Becky.
            You see, I’ve made my little investigation, and he’s not referenced as a scientist, much less a doctor in medicine anywhere…
            — Pffft, OF COURSE he’s not, sighed Becky. He’s a busy man, with lots of secrets.
            — AH-AH! I got you there. I thought you always said there was no secrets.
            — Oh, sure, he doesn’t keep any secret from me. Becky was a bit cut to the quick in that implicit rebuttal of her investigatory skills. You’re not implying that I’m not…
            — Well, to be perfectly frank with you Becky dearie
            — Yeah, bring it on, sweetie; a little rudeness won’t hurt
            — … I think you’ll become a fattened cow in a harem, if the harm hasn’t been done yet.
            — Oh, that was rude.
            — Oops, must have been my evil twin.

            Even Tina had been surprised at her unrestrained expression. “All for the best,” she thought to herself, “better with Becky than with Al, she’s really easier on forgetting others. Blessed be her short-term memory.”

            Were are we Anu? , the mother asked her young daughter trotting in front of her. My, it’s awfully dark in there… Are you sure we’ll find the others here?
            — Yes Mum. Anu answered in a soft voice.
            — Don’t be so anxious, Lily dear; trust our little girl; after all, she did so bravely well on her own after that plane crash.
            — You’re right Aaron, but this place is so… I don’t know, it gives me the creeps. It’s like… I couldn’t tell why, but it’s like we’re not remotely close to the Miami… or even the Sarcastic Sea where we’re supposed to be stranded…
            — It’s because we’re not, muttered Anita, more to herself than to her mother. But we’ll be soon enough, she added.
            — Sometimes I wonder how can Anu know so well were we are when we’re so lost, her mother mumbled…

            Balbina was following the little group as it was heading to the cave where one of the portal’s entrances was located. She could see the entrance clearly, glowing and sending ripples of energy coils, but that was only because she was travelling in her dream-body. While Anita, who was quite tuned into those things, wasn’t appearing to be lost, the parents seemed more than a little in the dark, and not only figuratively speaking…

            Balbina turned to the rabbit who was keeping her company.
            — And do you know were they’re going to?
            And do you like the things that life is showing you? giggled Yuki. Well, more seriously, it depends on what they’re choosing. And it could lead them to a place much more different than the one they expect to go to.

            A funny idea crossed the mind of Balbina, so much so that the elderly lady, who was looking rather youngish in her dreamlike appearance couldn’t help but express it.

            — Could they come to my place? They seem so charming people, and they seem to come from the same time as I do…
            — I thought you would never ask, Yuki smiled at her mischievously.
            — Oh, why?
            — Don’t you think it’s a funny coincidence that you are to meet them here and now?
            — Well… It’s just a dream, isn’t it?
            — And what if you could make that dream reality? Prove to yourself that it’s as real as anything else…
            — That sounds exciting indeed.

            “Here!” Anita was pointing a strange shaped bush of brambles.

            Rafaela was standing next to the bushes with Armelle on a tree nearby. “I’ve thought it would be more practical for them than the rock pool”
            “Good thinking dear” Yuki answered the goat.

            — And now? Balbina asked
            — I think it’s up to you and Anita, said Yuki.

            “And where are we going from there?” asked Lily to her daughter.
            “Not far from here, to a friend’s home, in Venezuela .” answered Anita with a wink which seemed lost to her parents, but not to the beaming Balbina.

              She had been taken to her room by a handsome young Russian after the onboard doctor, who was quite handsome too, had examined her. She had the vague impression she was turning a tad nymphomaniac. She chuckled and she stopped as soon as she realized she sounded like an old goose. No she would not loose her dignity. But she needed to release her tensions.

              The doctor had told her she was lucky they came at that very moment, but kept quiet after that. That she was aware of, but she couldn’t get more out of him and she was too tired to use her other tricks on him.
              Better rest a moment; she was confident she’d be kept up to date soon enough by Pavel.

              How strongly she was despising him…
              She didn’t know it was possible before their first encounter in Paris, years ago. :yahoo_thinking:
              Mixed feelings filled up those memories… :yahoo_angry: :yahoo_love_struck: it was also at the same time she’d met Georges, the Dandy as he liked to be called then. What a pair of thieves they were… When was it? 1852? 1853? She wasn’t sure…

              Her first mistake was to ask them to retrieve that stone from the antique store for her… Of course she hadn’t told them what she was looking for… she only asked them to steal everything in the shop! Still, they didn’t bring it back from the shop though she was positive the sunstone was there… they told her that was all they found; Georges seemed so sincere that she wouldn’t have thought he would double her and keep the stone… and much less use it. Soon enough… yes soon enough she realized she had been deceived.

              Her second mistake was to offer them an arrangement… but that’s another story. She was not as wary as she was now.

              She sighed. :yahoo_sigh:

              Nothing interesting to steal in that room. Just raw blankets and a plain wooden chair… she wouldn’t have expected more from Pavel. Always keeping the best for himself and not quite as chivalrous as the Dandy. Pavel… How did they call him back then? She couldn’t or wouldn’t recall it… something like the Monk… the Monkey would have better suited him, she thought bitterly.

              But now; she had no time to loose in dim memories.
              She had to plan her escape.

              knock knock

              It only took her a few seconds to compose herself.

              — Come on in.

              #1058

              She had to hold her breath a few seconds more…
              Very few seconds…
              Another one… Oh by the Elder gods! what was this all about the time was stretching like an old rubber bag and she was about to burst out… sshitty lack of air!

              Calm down Phoebe. You can do it… WHERE IS THE SURFACE!?

              All of a sudden she realized she had lost her beautiful motorbike for good — one that took her years to find, and a few more years to insufflate its little particularities.

              Oh! MERDE!

              Another memory of her time at the Moulin Rouge…

              I lost the wand again…

              But that wand was a bit more special than her motorbike. Soaked with ancient magic from another dimension… A bit like that ring in that dimension… She shivered… her small intrusion in that one sufficed to disgust her… That giant spider… what was her name again? Well the name won’t help her surface and breathe… She remembered… she had stolen an egg from that spider… she had to get rid of it very soon afterward in a garbage dimension, but…

              What is this light… and where is the direction of the surface… it was like she was floating in no space, no gravity…
              That’s not gooood…
              I’m loosing…

              :fleuron:

              …conscious…

              :fleuron:

              …Nessy!

              A big flushing sound and she could breathe again… it was painful as the water in her lungs was looking for a way out.
              Coughing and aching… She had no idea of the boundaries of her bodies as she was as wet as the ocean…
              But her friend of old times had saved her! She never regretted to help her in her youth, during a trip to Scotland…
              The contact of the… cold skin?
              It was a bit too cold to be her friend… and it sounded quite metallic.

              — Oye! Therrre you arrrre!

              What was that again!? A submarine? A Russian accent?
              She couldn’t accommodate her vision, she was still too busy to breathe loudly.

              — Deaaarrrr Pheobe! The Barrrron told me you’d be therrrre.

              Pavel Orgeanov!!! Oh not him now! He was the last one she expected to meet.

                Sam huh?

                Al was quite interested in the little furry creature. He suddenly remembered that when he had opened his old worn-out copy of the Yurara Fameliki stories at random this morning, he had found this excerpt about a guy wanting to get a dog… He could even remember the page number: 110.
                Al knew well enough that the book was a bit magic and that the described event would reverberate into his reality in many ways, but he didn’t know it would be in this strange fashion.
                Anyhow, he quite liked it.

                He was wondering now how Sam would do for the trip to the Floridisles with little Foxsam (huhu) —take it with them, or leave it for someone to keep?

                  Sam wanted to see by himself. He had suddenly remembered what Becky had told them once about a pet shop with a nine-tailed glowing fox. He hadn’t paid attention at the moment, but this was somewhat reappearing in his dreams lately. One of his focuses was the link, and he was seeing his face more and more looking directly at him.
                  He usually wasn’t speaking with his other selves, he was rather directly exchanging energy with them. At first it had been a bit awkward, practicing with telepathy and conversing with his friends was his main focus of interest. But once he was aware of how he could do that more easily and more efficiently, his attention wandered to other means of communication.
                  Eschraiel was currently nudging him, and his animal form was quite intriguing. Especially since there were those kind of animals living now!
                  He had arrived at the shop without really paying attention. He was following his guts to lead him exactly where he wanted.
                  Being soft, in the kind of mode of processing he was in currently, the people around were like objects around merged with his environment, nothing standing out. Except maybe that woman in front of the big parrot cage… no, not the woman but the color of her gown, a deep indigo, vibrant and shiny. She turned her smiling face in his direction, but it was like Eschraiel’s energy superimposed on hers. He smiled back at her and continued to the rear of the shop.

                  The creatures were in a dark room, their fur glowing with rusty and fiery shades. Apparently very engrossed in chasing each others tails… they had quite a lot to keep them busy. The little ones especially were jumping heartily on the older ones. Challenging them to retaliate… but getting apparently no response from them except a few grunts.

                  :fleuron:

                  No particular feeling at first.

                  :fleuron:

                  One of the little ones, maybe…

                  :fleuron:

                  This one. One of the older ones. A male. He was looking at him now, as aware of Sam’s energy as Sam was aware of his.
                  He yelped a few times, standing like an Egyptian Sphinx.

                  :fleuron:

                  In no time, Sam was out with his nine-tailed glowing fox
                  He’s so still, thought Sam.
                  How would I name you? he thought, directing the energy to the creature.

                  He opened his mouth and let his tongue out in such a way, it was like he was grinning and challenging him. Sam laughed and thought to the fox : So I have to play the impression game with you then.
                  Maybe… I can call you Sam actually :))
                  One bark was enough of an answer.
                  So Sam it is!
                  Another bark.
                  I have to introduce you to my friends now… I don’t know why, but I have the feeling Al will love you

                    “I thought Tobi told not to open any door this month” Becky Tooh said to Tina, who was waiting patiently on the doorsteps.
                    JUST open the BLOODY door!” an exerted Tina finally managed to blurt out, remembering Mehmot Lung’s teachings

                    Tina had decided against all common sense to go to Becky Tooh (or BeckyT) and Sean’s house, not so much to happily gargle ga-bla-blu-blooes with the little crying and smelling babies, but to see if the clone’s health was really a concerning matter.
                    Al’s lack of attention on the subject had not very comforting. To say the truth, he’d been horrible as usual, and hadn’t told her he was going with Sam on a trip in the Floridisles.

                    Since New York’s flooding, and after a series of calamitous tropical cyclones, all was left of Florida was a thread of big islands, not as densely populated as it once was. However, a few of their friends were still living here, managing a dolphin ranch, and organizing on occasion some excursions with the dolphins in the lagoons.
                    Of course, she had remote-viewed it all, but it was horrible enough from Al to have assumed she would figure on her own.

                    But back to the subject, she couldn’t really decide if Beckitee’s state was alarming or not. Her lack of attention was surely running down the genes pool, she wasn’t expert enough to tell, but as far as her body was concerned, Beckitee looked absolutely perfect —though she still got hints of that little balding problem left, and so little (but noticeable, still) wrinkles on her arms, she thought.

                    Surely Beckitee was beautiful… Not sure she was as funny as Beckipoo though.

                    Leörmn was erring through the corridors of his draggilish mind. Some of them were nicely painted he’d found, but apart from some friendly glukenitch glowing droppings, it all seemed a bit empty.

                    Of course, connections were ever there, floating around, and could be summoned as easily as a pleasant memory in the spacious eternal present. But those were not memories the dragon wanted to interact with.
                    Since they all had made that move of the cave anchoring point to the past, nothing was quite as it was. A truism of course, but sometimes you can’t do much more than state the obvious first, to be able to change it.

                    The remnants of the dynemotical ström (another word for wortex, or intercrossing of dimensions, or whatever you want to call this mess) was only starting to fray, and it had left them all in a kind of depressed mood. Depressed, as in less pressure, and a bit deflated.
                    As soon as he imagined the words, they became reality, for dragon speech is about the very essence of things, and it can make things be what they are said to be.
                    And so he was now morphed into a deflated rubber skin of a dragon, sliding inside the tunnel doing proutish sounds that he tried to put together into harmonious music notes, to entertain the schpurniatz colonies.

                    The notes started to take some funny foggy shapes and, using the painted walls as a partition, arranged some pretense of a sentence.

                    Words seem lamp; gives lost Malvina soon damn door, telling unexpected…

                    Mmm, a door? Of course, little sweet Arona had been painting a door, but why couldn’t he use it too?

                    The key was in bridging with the past now… that much he could tell, and perhaps that door may help.

                      The Crystal Skulls So Far… :crystal-skull:

                      The crystal skulls first appeared in the Far West saga, where it’s hinted that around the 1850s, some crystal skulls are found/smuggled by Aldous McGaughran. Their origin is not told.

                      It seems that (at least) one of his crystal skulls are passed down to Claudio in Spain through his grand-father’s acquaintance of Cillian Mc Gaughran (one of Wrick’s ancestors) — ref.
                      That skull is auctioned and a lady in salmon (the fake viscountess who is in reality an agent of the Mad Baron) gets it. This skull finishes its trip in the Baron’s lair (at around our time ~2007)… The Baron’s mansion will become (in the 2030s?) the home of the twins, and Wrick family.

                      Some of the crystal skulls are also found in the past (1950s?) around the mysterious figure of Mrs Chesterhope who is already hunting for them in (Brunei?) sultanate, using Georges to do so.
                      Later (around 2008) she locates one on the island of Tikfijikoo, and she sends a gang of magpies to find them, but their efforts are thwarted and she needs to get there in person (and motorcycle).

                      The Confregation is an organization which seems to know some things about them and are the origin of the one lent to the Dr Bronkelhampton on Tikfijikoo (retrieved from Crusaders a long time ago).

                      Beattie and Leonora Fletcher, a couple of batty Brit ladies seems to have found some of them too , and have a network of their own…

                      Later (2030s?), near the Indian Ocean, one is found by Gayesh’s family too

                      Just behind the plumpy panting woman who was coming to the campfire, Balbina could see the most interesting waddling goat she had ever seen coming along.

                      “And I suspect the goat talks too?” Balbina asked Yuki.
                      “Oh, yes… lots even… But don’t expect to understand all she says” Yuki added with a bwink.

                      Hahaha, Balbina was amazed. That place was the most delirious dream/out-of-body projection she’d had in a long long time. How entertaining.

                      “Beh, don’t be fooled, Balbina dear, it’s all real. And you’ll know very soon.” the goat started to greet her.
                      “And you are?”
                      Rafaela, at your service.”
                      “How many more like you are there here? I’ve never seen such a funny zoo…”
                      “A great deal actually” answered Yuki “but not so many of them are focused in this form. You still have to meet our dear Armowlle, who is doing some spying business and occasional rescue missions on the island, and our soft Arailynx who is on more subjective missions currently…”

                      Balbina was wondering “and why did you say I’ll know very soon?” she asked the goat.
                      Rafaela answered with a mysterious smile “Because I’m planning to communicate a way out of this island to two of my little protégés, and I expect some of these people will follow. And you are very likely to meet them in the flesh when they get there.”
                      “Really?!” Balbina was amazed. This dream was taking qualities of realness she wouldn’t have suspected the least it to have.

                      “Now,” Yuki cut short the amazement moment “we need to have those among our friends willing to leave, to be prepared to leave at dawn.”

                      “Okay” Anita, who had been seated on the sand quietly till then, rocking gently from side to side in a calm meditation, said softly.

                      “Oh, she really can feel us talking…” Balbina said more to herself than to anyone else. And looking closely at the girl’s energy field, she could see how expanded it was, reaching those of Yuki, Kay the spirit dog, and Rafaela and even hers in luminous threads.

                      “Not all of them are leaving tonight” answered Yuki to her unspoken question. “I think Anita and her parents will, but it’s more than probable than the others will stay. Some have business to do here, and others are in vacations huhu…”

                      “You’re right, seems like the one with the strange energy field is gone already?”
                      “Oh Claude, you mean. Yes. His mummification experience wasn’t too pleasant, and he has unfinished business with the people of the island; no wonder he prefers to stay here on his own.”

                      (on the beach, around the campfire, in Regional Area 1, or physical reality)

                      Awww, plane-crash you say? ‘ow wonderful… Mavis was chatting with Akita. Ye need to come with me, ye can’t stay ‘ere all night. Besides, Shar and Glaw will be so thrilled to see you. And we were starting to think it was all boring ‘ere; didn’t know they would have real survivors like on real-TV!

                      Aaron and his familythey would probably need some better shelter, I assume. This probably would be best for us to come with you… Akita answered. And apparently, Claude has left, so that’s just us…

                      Owlright then! Mavis beamed, come with me handsome! she said, clutching the soldier’s muscular arm under hers.
                      Don’t worry Akita, we’ll follow you, said Anita to the soldier who was visibly appealed by the woman but was also weary to leave Anita alone with her sleeping parents. Besides, we can see the lights behind the trees, it’s very near…

                      See you there Anita! Akita said to Anu
                      Bye Akita! And don’t worry, Kay is always with you she said with a mysterious smile.

                      As they walked side by side to the facility, Mavis said “Kay? A friend of yours?”
                      “Oh, my lost dog… Nothing to worry about” answered Akita absently.
