VI. audio [backdated to dawn]

[aslandish]

[When the light of day first spills over the horizon, a resounding note can be heard, clear and strong as it soars from the earth to the heavens. Not a song, but rather a declaration.

The winter has ended; this is the morning.

Today is a day to rejoice.]

[Jack's awake at the time, and when he hears the note he slips out the door, trying to track the source.]

[aslandish]

[It's coming from over the network, but a curious sort of resonance hangs in the air.

Either one maybe lead him to the woodlands of Sector 7.]

[cowboy_newsie]

[It takes a while-- Jack's a bit too grounded in reality to sense things easily-- but in an hour or so, he finds himself approaching the woods of Sector 7 warily. He's holding a knife loosely in his hand.]

[aslandish]

[A flash of gold streaks through the trees. Will you follow?]

[Voice]

[madeinoblivion]

[Joe on the other hand sounds....drowsy and a bit raw with exhaustion at dawn's first light, shuffling home from another long all-night shift at Merlotte's.]

Morning to you too. I'm going to bed.

[Voice]

[aslandish]

[It does not happen immediately, but the voice that replies is rich and deep. Joyous.]

It will be light when you awaken.

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah-

[A wide yawn]

The light keeps lasting longer and longer, these days. It'll be summer again before we know it.

[Voice]

[aslandish]

The days grow brighter.

Nature restores itself.

action!

[Something in the atmosphere convinces her to leave the house alone, though she's been trying to avoid that as much as possible later. That same feeling in the air takes her to Sector 7, and that's where Ahiru pauses, looking around the area. Just what was it that had brought her here...?

action!

[aslandish]

[A warm breeze brushes past her, leaves rustling lightly in its wake.

Beckoning.]

action!

[quackery]

[She blinks as the breeze moves over her, and then she follows the direction, with no hesitance to be found. She continues to walk.]

action!

[aslandish]

[Some time later, there, in the trees, she will find him -- a lion with a mane that shines of purest gold.

Waiting.]

[batmanmecha]

[Duo always keeps odd hours, and whenever he's not at work he's pretty much wandering the island. Being confined to one place for so long is a little annoying, but he's trying to not let it get to him.

Easier said than done.

He's at the lake in Sector 7, currently skipping rocks across the surface. The note makes him stop with a rock in his hand, looking up to see where it's coming from.]

[aslandish]

[The note is sonorous, carrying on the wind as it fills the air with a glory all its own.

The source lies towards the east.]

[batmanmecha]

[He's thinking to himself, 'following this is might be a bad idea', but Duo is honestly the king of bad ideas some days. Plus, he's curious.

He tosses the last rock out and turns, wandering about slowly while trying to find the source of it.]

[aslandish]

[Up into the woods, eventually, there will be a flash of gold amidst the trees. A very large, very furry one.

What do?]

[reaction]

[he_is_wild]

[The Joker hears the note boom through the NV...and also feels it.

He sits up, looking around, somewhat agitated. He feels lighter.

Is this the feeling of....hope?

Maybe it's just indigestion. He flops over and goes back to sleep.]
