Both, I suppose. I know some of you who were asleep glimpsed dates on things like newspapers. It might be good to know how long after that things went dark, and how many years have passed since then. Having a timeline could be interesting.
[It's one of those things that doesn't have an immediate and explicit usefulness, admittedly. He knows that. But it's a few small facts that will help them understand the full course of events here, and knowing the past is one of the best ways to make sense of the present, or so his studies of military history have indicated.]
[ a timeline definitely would help clear the air about certain things. like what year they're truly in and if the idea they're stuck in a time loop is true or not. little things like that.
so that gets written down too, accompanied by some notes and comments. when he finishes writing it up, a thought comes to mind thanks to what rosinante had said just now. ] Hey. Hey, Rosinante...I know this is sorta out of nowhere but- Um- Do you know any other Dreamers?
Because she's asking for me to reach out to them and I only know a handful fo the others who fell asleep and dreamed something. [ because he knows others hadn't dreamt a thing, somehow, and that makes figuring out who was what and where. that makes it a little difficult for him when he does future note writing and delivering. ]
Well, there were all of the ones who spoke up at Town Hall. And a few came to me after. So... Ignis, Maes, Mary, Jo, Stone, Aziraphale...
[He pauses a moment as he finds his own tablet. He can double-check his notes from that meeting and notes added afterward readily enough.]
Oh, Peter, that's right. Who was under the church. Ignis was at a room full of computers, and ran a program called "Sun" that killed him. Aziraphale was in a mineshaft, and said there was some sort of monstrous insect. Mary, Jo, and Midge were all at the museum and all of them have said the sun was unbearably bright. Blinding.
[ daylight writes down the names of the others who had vision-dreams to make sure he can reach out to them when he can, wincing a bit at the mention of the mineshaft. ]
The mineshaft... Yeah. I remember Molly and I talking about that. He said they were attacked. [ and attacked badly. molly got his eyes torn out and poor mr. aziraphale-
his optics cycle when something rosinante said finally registers in his processors. ] Wait. The sun was blinding? That's not what happened with us. Sarissa and Kol and I... We saw the sun on the radio tower and it didn't hurt our vision.
... Did Mary or Jo or Midge ever talk about the weather? Or, um, what season it was?
[ day frowns, winglets jerking down in frustration. there goes his personal theory that they all saw the same day, just in different places around beacon. ]
Not that I remember. I didn't speak to Midge about it directly but the other two both said it was hot. I figure that's because of the sun being too much to handle, not the weather. I don't think that part lasted long.
[Poor Mary clearly had been in some state of suffering when she woke up. She could barely open her eyes for how badly burned she thought they were.]
Still, I can't figure out what would cause the sun to get so bright. I've never heard of anything like what they described. It was like the sun consumed them entirely.
Hm... [ judging by the expression on day's face, he hasn't heard anything like that too. or, rather, he can't remember it. something about what mary and the others went through is bothering him. more so than usual.
like- like that sounds familiar to him and not in a good way. he's not sure why but... something, in the back of his processors, is nagging at him hard. he wishes he knew what it was but he supposes it'll come to him sooner than later. hopefully.
for now, he notes that down and checks the time and- yikes. ]
I think I need to get going soon, Rosinante. I need to inform the others about this. [ daylight begins to unfold himself from his where he was sitting, making sure to duck so he doesn't hit anything on the ceiling or the ceiling itself. ] Thanks for hashing this. I promise to reach out to you after I talk to Dr. Solis and get all the information piled together.
All right. Thanks for keeping me in the loop about all of this, too.
[He gives a nod and a smile, but he'll wait to get up. There's only so much space in here with both of them.
Rosinante could come up with a book's worth of questions the longer he sits here, but they don't want to overwhelm Dr. Solis with a flood of them, anyway. He can always write to her after Daylight and Cao Pi introduce themselves, follow up on anything further he might have.]
