» Horizon

Geralt is always reachable by the network. Unless it's an emergency, expect not to hear back for a few hours, if not a few days.

To talk to him in person, you'll need to be in Cadens or go to his domain, a snowy mountain fortress. Yard is open; doors are locked. If he isn't around, leave a delivery with the white wolf.

near the end of week 2.

[ it comes in the middle of the night - a time sam probably shouldn't be awake, but is, and probably will continue to be. truth is, he hasn't actually reached out because he figured there was enough going on - with jaskier as worried as he is, with julie asking after him and the singularity. he trusts that he would know if something were really wrong, or at the very least he would hope, and that had been enough.

until, you know, it's the dead of night and sam is anxious. things are happening, but not fast enough. information is being uncovered, but not fast enough. they have an idea, a general direction, but-

except that he can't get hung up on the buts. he has a job to do and that is what he's doing. and if that happens to also include finally breaking down and sending what he knows will most likely be geralt's hundredth check-in request, well. he will just have to deal. ]

GONNA NEED PROOF OF LIFE, MAN
I KNOW SHIT'S BAD, BUT ANYTHING'LL DO

[gynvael]

[ There's a good many hours before Geralt answers. His head feels like it's being split in half; he's still groggy, and every time he checks, he's bleeding from somewhere new.

He's not exactly certain proof of life means much. Given all that's gone on. ]

[ part of sam hadn't even thought he would get a response - the messages have been iffy, if best. the few he has gotten have been corrupted, messy, off. the horizon hasn't been much better, and sam's kind of accepted the fact he's not going to hear anything.

he'd just have to believe, and he would believe, and that was where sam had settled.

which is exactly when the response does arrive, and sam goes from laying back on the couch in his living area to sitting up straight, staring at the wall of his dim-lit room like he could maybe have a better time trying to parse the words. ]

I SWEAR TO GOD, GERALT
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT? WHAT'S HAPPENING?
YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP
I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

[gynvael]

No.

[ No. But he's not healing right; some noises are so dizzyingly loud he thinks he might vomit. His head isn't right. Perhaps he's just too tired to pretend.

(He doesn't even know what the fuck to say about Steve.) ]

[ okay, okay. sam knows geralt better, knows they're not all at that point yet, but it's nice to see it all the same. ]

WHAT KIND OF THINGS?
IS IT THE SINGULARITY FUCKING WITH YOU OR SOMETHING ELSE?

WE'VE ALMOST GOT A LOCATION
GENERAL DIRECTION IS LEADING US TO WHAT WE THINK IS AN ISLAND OFF-SHORE
WE'RE WORKING ON HOW TO GET THROUGH THE DEFENSES
YOU JUST HAVE TO HOLD ON

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
IS EVERYONE OKAY?
