The Plague Logs

[Ophiuchi]

"The Festival of Blights" (Part VI)

Silvanus and Moira stood amidst the manic crowd in the large main chamber of the Level 66 warrens. Moira squealed with glee at the piloting antics of Damiens R/T. The lad hadnt forgotten how to fly after all.

Silvanus, however, seemed a bit uncomfortable. She picked nervously at the bodice of her peasant blouse, finally leaning over to speak above the rabid noise into Moiras ear.

Moira, I dont wanna sound dumb, but this Phage person seems to be whipping the crowd into a frenzy. Ive never seen or heard of him around Islay before.. Who is he?

Moira tore her attention from the wall-size monitor to look at Silvy. "Well, Silvy, Caulofactor is, or was, the leader of the Plague Dogs, the bunch that Damien and I belonged to before they all sort of disappeared for a bit. Lots of these folk know im from back then, even though the Dogs were a might secretive about their agenda. Im sure Demis a bit shocked to see him again after all this time. Id heard rumors that he was back in Edinburgh; but wasnt sure of a certainty until just now meself.

Well, he can certainly get a party rollin! said Silvanus. She looked around again at the hundreds of revelers in the chamber, and a smile finally began to form on her face. What happens after the race, Moria?

Moira began to answer Silvy when here gaze fell across two recent arrivals at the main entrance to the chamber. Oh, my bleedin hell! It it aint Hanna and Dengue! Somethin big must be happenin to bring them out in the open as well as Caul!"
