Room # 314 - Monday Afternoon

Dec 31, 2007 16:58

Neil had been sleeping in but had gotten handwavey word that there was an important telegram down at the post office for him. Feeling a sense of dread, he'd dressed quickly and darted down to the post office only to have his worse fears confirmed.

Something had happened with his mother's health and his father was requesting he return home.

Looking at the money his father had wired for an immediate train ride back up north, Neil sighed softly and knew there was no way to get out of this.

He was going to have to go home.

Stopping by the school office to confirm that his father had sent word of his withdrawal, Neil headed back up to his room to pack.

He wasn't yet sure what he was going to tell Andrew but he knew he had just a few hours left to figure it out.

[ooc: Door and post are open though Andrew gets the last conversation chronologically. Neil will be leaving the island after this post.]
