The strangers have all gone away by now. Mag too. I was so glad to speak to her again. She's the best godmother anyone can ask for. All she has to do is be herself and listen! I wish that the City could understand what a talented, great person she is.

What I really wanted to say over the network is that Graverobber is missing. He doesn't always come

[cry_reaper]

I haven't seen him of late, either. Shilo, was it? But then I haven't been spending as much time in the Underground of late.

[chasingmorning]

Yes, I'm Shilo. Graverobber is my roommate. You're a friend of his?

[cry_reaper]

Yes, I suppose so.

[chasingmorning]

When was the last time you saw Graverobber?

[cry_reaper]

I'm sorry to say but it was awhile ago. Two weeks at least.

[chasingmorning]

Oh. That's no good.

[cry_reaper]

I'm sorry I can't help you, dear. Are you alright? Is anyone there to stay with you?

[chasingmorning]

I have my bugs. I'm not completely alone.

I hope that he comes back from... wherever it is he's got to.

[cry_reaper]

Your... bugs?

Alright, but you should let people know you're staying alone for the time being. If a curse comes, it would be best if people know where you are.

[chasingmorning]

I collect them. It's a hobby.

My friend Justin knows where I am. Others should know too, then. I guess. Is that safe?

[cry_reaper]

Ah, I see.

As safe as anyone, I suppose. How old are you?

[chasingmorning]

I'm seventeen. Not for too much longer though.

[cry_reaper]

Seventeen's a good age. I was mostly on my own when I was seventeen.

[chasingmorning]

Your parents were gone too?

[cry_reaper]

My mother died when I was born, and my father was... not really a part of my life.

[chasingmorning]

My mom did too. My dad--he was always around. But he's gone now. It's just me.
