From: Jun

I have a question for you. If you do not mind me asking it.

From: Zoné

Uh, if I can think coherently enough to answer.

From: Zoné (school)

Negl it took me five minutes to try and spell that correctly

From: Jun

Sorry, if you are tired, I can just ask you later. I know it is late and we did just see something REALLY CREEPY ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

From: Zoné (school)

No, actually, it’s because of that that I’m wide awake. Which sucks because I’ve got work tomorrow.

From: Jun

Warm milk. It will help you fall asleep.

From: Zoné (school)

Thanks, I’ll try it. What’s your question tho?

From: Jun

It is just... about that guy we met in the cemetery today. Fletcher Oswin.

From: Zoné (school)

Ugh what about him

From: Jun

Is he the one you had Lio look into?

From: Zoné (school)

Yeah.

From: Jun

Why did you not tell me that he was your brother?

From: Jun

You do not have to answer that, sorry.

From: Zoné (school)

No, it’s just. I was trying to think of a good response.

From: Zoné (school)

I honestly didn’t think that Fletcher was him. The name was familiar, but that was it. I thought that it was someone that he might have known.

From: Zoné (school)

I just... don’t really feel like I found him. Not yet.

From: Jun

Has he changed a lot since he left?

From: Zoné (school)

Surprisingly not. Still full of his self-arrogant righteousness. Still looking down his nose at everyone. And it’s a big nose to look down.

From: Zoné (school)

I’m surprised he’s not trying to participate in Meliora by himself.

From: Jun

You mean in regards to Ayn?

From: Zoné (school)

Yeah I don’t know who she is so it’s really weird that he is teaming up with her. I can’t think of any logical explanation.

From: Jun

Maybe she is his friend? She sounded like she knew you.

From: Zoné (school)

Catoir doesn’t have friends, that’s the problem. He never did at home, and I doubt he suddenly sprouted enough compassion to gain friends in Eminence.

From: Jun

Maybe you should ask him.

From: Zoné (school)

That would imply that he would answer

From: Jun

Do you want him to answer?

From: Zoné (school)

I don’t know.

From: Jun

Are you going to try?

From: Zoné (school)

no

From: Zoné (school)

i’m scared of him treating me like a stranger

From: Lysander

That’s all it says. ‘Eastern block | Tower 925 | Walk the Wall’

From: Zoné

oH mY gOD

From: Zoné

Kill me NOW it’ll be faster

From: Jun

Faster than…?

From: Zoné

Me figuring out this puzzle

From: Lysander

It’s actually quite simple

From: Zoné

ok mr stavros

From: Zoné

plz educate me

From: Lysander

What do you know of the structure of the original London?

From: Zoné

Ye Olde Londone

From: Zoné

How disappointed would you be if I said

From: Zoné

Absolutely Zero

From: Jun

I also know nothing of it.

From: Zoné

Some dudes built it, and then it was nice, and then it flooded, and then it was not nice, and then it became Eminence.

From: Zoné

The end

From: Lysander

Not quite, no

From: Zoné

Damn

From: Lysander

Long story short, since I don’t want to bore you with the history lecture, there used to be remnants of the old wall that outlined the original London

From: Lysander

There are several towers along the wall. Or, well, what used to be towers.

From: Zoné

arE WE GONNA HAVE TO LIKE

From: Zoné

WALK ALL NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE OF THEM?! ?!?!?! !?!??!!

From: Lysander

I don’t know

From: Lysander

I don’t think there are that many

From: Zoné

What if we have to count 925 stones on one tower and that one stone is the one with the code to check in

From: Lysander

I don’t think so.

From: Lysander

I’ll send you the details of the old tour. I’d suggest going to either the first or last stop.

From: Jun

Oh, that’s really far

From: Lysander

It’s part of the flooded section of Old London, so be careful. If it looks too dangerous, just come back. Don’t bother about the mission.

From: Zoné

Aye aye

From: Lysander

Okay this is going to be a little weird but

From: Zoné

You had me at weird

From: Lysander

Lio’s missing

From: Zoné

Ok you’re right that is a little weird to be telling me this

From: Lysander

Kaito’s panicking because Rhys is panicking and Lio’s work called Rhys to try and figure out where he was, etc etc

From: Jun

Shouldn’t you call the police or something?

From: Jun

I don’t really know how it works

From: Zoné

Social media posts

From: Lysander

Please try to take this a little bit seriously

From: Jun

I’m sorry, we’re trying -- but there’s not much we can do

From: Zoné

We’re sort of out swimming in the thames

From: Lysander

Wait, what? Don’t swim in the Thames!!!!

From: Lysander

And just keep an eye out for him!

From: Zoné

Ahhhhh such nice tepid water it’s so foggy i feel like i can float into another dimension

From: Jun

(We’re not really in the Thames it’s mostly puddles)

From: Lysander

Please!!! Just keep an eye out for Lio!!!

From: Lysander

(Thank you for the reassurance, Jun)
