[Hubert's in the middle of gathering people to send down to the tunnels when he comes across Giles, whom he recognizes from the library.

Funny, it feels like it's been months since that encounter, but it's only been a month at best. The last few hours have been all too taxing, both physically and mentally, but Hubert sets those frustrations aside in favor of reaching Giles over the gravitational disturbance.

There are a couple people who are dead set on staying and preventing the moon from falling (which appears unlikely, but Hubert was never that big of an optimist), so he asks first.]

Will you be staying on the surface?

[consultmybooks]

I'm staying.

[He doesn't take his eyes off the moon as he says this. Almost as though simply daring it without words to turn aside. Giles has no hopes that he can stop the moon falling, but he's also not leaving.]

What about you?

[mistyarc]

[Hubert doesn't dare glance up at the moon, and instead fixes his glasses.]

I am presently evacuating residents and transporting supplies to the tunnels.

[So in a way, he's staying, but whether or not he does at the very end is questionable.]

[consultmybooks]

A valiant effort, to be certain.

I wish I could help with that, but in this fix, I'd probably just drag everyone down.

[mistyarc]

"This fix?"

[consultmybooks]

John has demonstrated a disturbing enthusiasm for drugging his patients almost past the point of functionality.

...I can't remember a thing, though, so I suppose it's only to be expected.

[mistyarc]

[John the scientist. Ah. It must be that John.]

Will you be all right?

[consultmybooks]

[Giles points up at the moon.]

I'll survive until that hits. If it hits.

[mistyarc]

. . . very well.

[If it hits. Yes. If.]

[consultmybooks]

...you know, after all of this, I still prefer this over last Halloween.

At least I'm in a position to notice if it does fall. Don't you agree?

[mistyarc]

[Last Halloween. What happened last Halloween?]

The visions and fears?

. . . yes; quite.

[consultmybooks]

The visions and fears, yes. Not to mention the man in the beak mask. Spreading that particular mask around the place was in rather poor taste, in my opinion.

[mistyarc]

If it was the doing of the Organization, then it isn't surprising that they did.

[consultmybooks]

Someone should remind them that the point of Halloween is to frighten, not massacre.

...I wonder if it was the Organization. Or at least the branch of the Organization we're used to dealing with.

[mistyarc]

Do you suspect another party to be responsible?
