-- Shit's ridiculous. The sun, really? You couldn't pick another grand cosmic force of nature to knock out? I wouldn't miss the moon as much. Take a few of the other stars, this is just creeping me the hell out. [ For Ed? That is saying a lot. ]

This is just a prelude, ain't it? Something really bad is coming. Damn, if stuff like this keeps

Yeah. The sun is gone.

[He sounds about as disturbed as Edward.]

I'm by the stone now... the full text reads:

"To those burned by the mist and the sun-

Stay to yourselves, when the long darkness falls, he will arrive.

My world was green and full of sun,
and waves that touched the shore,
until the mist consumed me,
and I saw the sun no more.

There were fifty when I came,
Fifty standing side by side,
Then days grew short and night grew long,
and o! then came the tide.

On waves of blood his shadowy form,
came when the darkness crept,
and I alone remained,
drenched in all the tears I'd wept.

So lo! to those who've seen the sun,
to those who've walked in light.
beware the changing shadows,
fear the coming of the night.

The sun burns out, the dark breeze comes
Beware th..."

It's obviously coming soon. Maybe 'the tide' means it's going to come out of the ocean.

Better than a dragon. At least it's confined to the water... probably.

...Great. So whatever brought us here can make stars disappear on a whim. Fantastic.

We can't discount the fact that it's an illusion, too. That something might just be blocking it out-- it's still ridiculous, but maybe a little less ridiculous than it flat-out disappearing.

[cop_for_one_day]

That sounds more realistic.

[The voice sounds like a teenager. But his vocabulary is that of a scientist. Weird.]

[ontheshortbus]

Unfortunately, we've got no way to test whether that's true or not.

[cop_for_one_day]

All we can do is wait and see if something comes to try and kill us all.

Whatever it is, it's not taking me down easy.
