[Two days into Fridge Liminal]

[professorwolf]

Sorry to bother everyone, but I'm having a bit of a problem. Some of you may know I picked up a somewhat awkward but sometimes useful ability in the city of Melasurei-- I occasionally get flashes of the future in brief, context-less visions. And right now that ability won't leave me alone.

It's the same thing every time: standing on one side of a glass wall, with several others on the other side, unable to reach us-- there are hands pressed to it on either side, but it's impermeable.

I have never actually seen anything metaphorical before, it's always an exact representation of something that may happen. So... I'm wondering if anyone's seen a glass wall around here? Or run into one, I suppose, seeing as it may be a bit hard to see. And if we haven't... perhaps we'd best keep an eye out for one.

And before anyone asks, no, it's not the shelves in the giant refrigerator. I know what those look like.

[ So much for the "how". He tried for the "why". ]

Why would they separate us? To conquer? But we are already taken... Were we divided evenly in your vision?

[professorwolf]

I only saw a few faces, so I can't guess how evenly we're divided... I'm on one side, Hajime is on the other. So is Naoki. My pack, I think, is mostly with me... except for Hajime.

I don't have any sense that there's any great danger, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

[ Nothing bodes well at this point. Altaïr is all too familiar with how danger can hide in the most innocuous places. He does so himself. ]

Do you know why Hajime was singled out?

[professorwolf]

I don't believe he was, precisely. He's just one face I see on the other side, the clearest one. Probably because he is my pack, and so he's rather important to me in particular. There are others, though.

[theflyingone]

Was there any difference between one side or the other? Were you in more danger, for example, or was he?

[professorwolf]

No, not that I could tell. I wasn't worried about either of us, at any rate. I get the impression, really, that we're in the same place, just separated.

[theflyingone]

Can you hear each other?

[professorwolf]

None of us are talking in the vision, I'm afraid, so... I don't know.

[theflyingone]

Very well. Thank you for telling everyone of this. I will make a note, but... I do not know what to make of it all.

[professorwolf]

I'm afraid I don't, either. Usually these things come because I'm supposed to do something about them. I can't see what there might be that I can do, here.
