[ Of course Higgs has heard the phone calls. Grady's probably got recruits blocking of the highway by now- not that he'd want to go back there again. Not after the bears. Yes, there were bears.

He doesn't have much to say to everyone, but he does have something for a few of you. ]

That's good. Haven't heard much from anyone since the car trip besides y'rself. [ And that is why he made this call. ]

[madeofstoic]

[ Rin this guy is so badass he's probably never needed somebody watching him like, ever. ] He's got the right to be worried. Mighty dangerous out there.

[ariesapocalypse]

I am ok. And you?

[madeofstoic]

That's good. [ HAPPY TO HEAR THAT, COOLKID ]

...Got attacked by a bear. Didn't go on the highway, did you?

[ariesapocalypse]

I saw no reason to, since others said they weren't getting anywhere.

Wait--a bear? Are you alright?

[madeofstoic]

Just a couple scratches. Nothin' to be worried about. [ Better not tell the kid his boss almost got killed. ]

Don't think about goin' there now. Seems like it was alright at first, but it definitely ain't now.

Awww!! Higgsy! You'd really ask that of Nena?! That's so nice!

But Nena is working with the police for her shuttle, she doesn't really care for the agenda and will let anyone pass as long as they don't get caught and Nena likes them!!

[ So she's still good .... sort of ]

She'll be investigating the Diner later, buuuuut she's already viewed both of the highways from the Shuttle. The highways literally stretch on for miles. There's no horizon, and everything else stretches too. You can't even see a Westbound Route from the Eastbound. So strange.

If anyone attacks you, Higgsy, let Nena know! She'll blow them up!

[ ...Okay okay. ]

Don't think blowin' up anythin' will be necessary, Miz. Rather you not blow things up'n the first place.

...And, erm. Please don't go about callin' me that.

[partytoastess]

Well, Nena sometimes has accidents where her finger slips and she blows things up!! She'll try her best not to have those types of accidents, Higgsy!

[ The second part just crashed and failed to reach Nena's mind ]

[This, naturally, takes place after the log involving HORRIBLE TORTURE OF AN ADORABLE CHILD.

Klaus's voice is hushed and urgent.]

Higgs. I have very little time, so I will make this brief. The Other is in Mayfield -- has been in Mayfield for some time now -- and has regained her ability of control.

Under no circumstances are you to interact with Lucrezia Mongfish, except in order to kill her. Should the opportunity present itself, do not hesitate -- and should I try to stop you, kill me as well. This is an order. Do you understand?

[ Wait.

What?

You're going to hear a short pause on the line while he comprehends this, and then- well. Maybe he should have expected something like this with all the shenanigans in Castle Heterodyne before he got here. Sigh. ]

[madeofstoic]

...Yessir.

[ He'd have more to say if you didn't just throw that on him all at once. ]

[myblimpisbigger]

Good.

Do not disappoint me.
