Whatever's wrong with this place, it runs deep. I've been tracking the paperwork at the funeral home- they don't let me near any bodies, but if you'd believe the official paperwork, this town is facing a suicide epidemic- people of all ages are supposedly killing themselves.

[And to accompany Sabriel's mental narration, she's added video- of her after-hours exploration of the funeral home.]

I tried to speak to the Dead- they've often a better source of information than the living, but- there are none here. Either the nature of this world is such that they pass on to somewhere beyond the reach of any necromancer after they die- or something else is at work.

[There's footage of Sabriel exploring the funeral home, narrating as she does so.]

There are bodies in the refrigerators- but none of them seem any younger than eighty, and all are dead of natural causes. And... I don't think I've seen anyone this old in town?

And the embalming rooms don't smell right- I don't think they've been used for some time. And this door...

[There are flashes of Charter marks against metal as Sabriel finds a heavy door in the embalming room... and forces it open]

Are there any spells here that aren't petty hearth-magic? They didn't even try to do a locking spell. But this place is some sort of storage room...

[And Sabriel investigates, opening the large coolers to reveal metal body parts, all neatly labeled but generic, uncustomized.

And then she finds a clipboard on one of the empty worktables. One with a single sheet of paper, with many names crossed out, including the unfortunate Mr. Myrsdin... and a handful of names that aren't crossed out- Yzak Jule, Daisy Johnson, Newton Farr-Geiszler.]

By the Charter...

[ there were a number of conflicting thoughts keeping clarke up at night lately: the recent news of their time in ximilia coming to an end with the missions and their search for the orb, the friendships she has made with people and the fact she has been here since the very beginning of the journey just over two years.

today just so happens to be her birthday which would really be public knowledge at this point from the crew birthday calendar that newt put together. is it a coincidence? did she actually remember what today is and that she is turning another year older? it is anyone's guess really.

there is a lot going on with their current mission so her birthday is low priority here but there is just one little thing involving her personal goal— perform an act of physical affection with three separate teammates — that even prompts her to her inquire on the network]

Okay, so. I need some help with my personal goal. How does everyone feel about hugs? [ love them? hate them? or are you the type of person who neutral to it? she totally asking the important questions here!! maybe you are wondering what this has to with her goal but look she will get to her point once she's able to vibe check how people feel about them. she knows that there are obviously other forms of physical affection but hugging seems like the easiest option and well after the latest news maybe more people could use a hug whether they want to admit to it or not]
