Grayling - Saturday, January 22, 2005 - Page 427 Fern: And then, of course, the kid was born. / Mid: Delye, come see! Asne had her baby! / Mid: It's a boy. He's so peaceful looking. / Delye: Cal baby. / Mid: In that picture anyway... Though Fern writes he doesn't fuss much. Very laid back. Not what I'd expect from Cal's son... / Delye: Huh! So...
Grayling - Sunday, January 23, 2005 - Page 428 Mid: {thinking} How ridiculous is this? I think it's going to be harder for me to leave, in the end, than it was to come in the first place. / At Tower / Lem: Dammit. Fola, have you been touching my books? / Fola: ... No. / Lem: Where did that mythology go... / Fola: Why do you ask? / Lem: ... Nothing....
Grayling - Thursday, February 3, 2005 - Page 429 Fola: Not in several weeks... / Lem: Several weeks. Hm. Was there any mention of rumors pertaining to monsters? Did anyone complain of strange dreams? / Fola: No, neither of those things happened. / Lem: Fola... I realize that I might not be altogether specific with you on every issue... But I do...
Grayling - Thursday, February 10, 2005 - Page 430 Fola: Do you want me to stay tonight and start this project immediately? / Lem: ... No, tomorrow's good enough. I want some peace and quiet. Go home and rest, I'll see you in the morning. / 10:00 pm / scrub scrub scrub / 12:00 am / Her skin is all charred... even when I change the bandages the blood...
Grayling - Friday, February 11, 2005 - Page 431 Lem: Right. Just because I don't see him yet doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean he got loose. I'm not going to panic. There's no reason to. / Everything is fine. / Rae: Nnng. / Lem: Oh. / Rae? / Rae: Rrrnnk... / Lem: Rae, wake up! / Rae: ...wha... / ruffle ruffle / Lem: Huh. You know, you're...
 
Grayling - Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - Page 432 Lem: Is it like this in here all the time? / Rae: Why wouldn't it be? After all, it's May's materpiece, I sure don't have an aesthetic, and nobody else comes here. / Lem: You have connections through Cal, don't you? / You may not have figured this out, Lem -- you're hardly lonely -- but when you only have...
Grayling - Sunday, February 27, 2005 - Page 433 Lem: Can you lie in here? / Rae: You're not supposed to... But I can easily avoid that measure. / Rae: May's definition of lying's pretty rigid. / Rae: Why do you ask? You couldn't want to lie to your dear old brother, Lem. / Lem: You'd know if I were lying, anyway. / Rae: My, you're more redundant now...
Grayling - Sunday, March 6, 2005 - page 434 ~stretch~ / Rae: Good! Because I have none to give. / Lem: ... / I miss the old days. / Rae: You have a lot of fucking nerve saying that. You're the one who destroyed what we had, remember? / Lem: You can't blame this entirely on me. You're the ones who. Did what you. Did. / Rae: Oh, oh, stop. / Rae:...
Grayling - Friday, March 11, 2005 - Page 435 Lem: What about YOU. Who got the ball running? YOU DID! It was YOUR idea! / Rae: Oh give me a break, Lem, what had you come to ME for if not -- / Lem: You came to ME. I remember, don't think you can -- You fucking SUGGESTED IT! / Rae: Whatever happened, Lem, you dealt the first stroke-- / SCREEEE / Lem:...
Grayling - Friday, March 18, 2005 - Page 436 Lem: Damnit Rae -- This's your answer to everything, right? You can't even have an ARGUMENT without ripping the other person's face off -- funny how you haven't learned it DOES NOT WORK yet. / Rae: Pardon me, I was just caught off guard by the RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT that just passed your lips. / Rae:...
 
Grayling - Saturday, March 19, 2005 - Page 437 Lem: Why... why are you looking at me that way? / Rae: I can't... quite believe it. You really don't know. You have no idea. / Lem: Of what? What are you talking about, Rae? / Lem: Rae? Answer me! / Lem: What did I say?! What's wrong with wanting forgiveness? / Rae: Lem... I'm your brother. I...
Grayling - Saturday, March 26, 2005 - Page 438 Lem: What am I supposed ... / Rae: Excuse me, what was that, Lem? / Lem: If I can't ask forgiveness, what is there for me to do? / There must be s-some-thing... / Rae: Of course there is. / Why Lem, it's so simple, such a relief. / You're supposed to die.
Grayling - Thursday, March 31, 2005 - Page 439 At the Kemfdal's, several years later. / DING DONG / Fern: Hi, Asne. Sorry I'm late. / Asne: FERN! I was getting worried you weren't going to make it again! / Fern: No worries. / Asne: Why, look at you. You look like your shirt was tucked in a few minutes ago. Why so spruced up? / Fern: Haha. Well,...
Grayling - Saturday, April 9, 2005 - page 440 Asne: There, now. Hardly anything to worry about. Why don't you find something more relaxing to do? / Asne: Corwin, would you let Fern near your blocks? / Corwin: Let's build with blocks. / Fern: ... Okay. / Fern: He's good with them, too. / Gara: Psst. So where is Cal? When is he going to take...
Grayling - Monday, April 11, 2005- Page 441 Fern: Smoke! Haven't seen you in awhile -- why are you standing in the dark? / Smoke: Hello. / Fern: I had a great time with Corwin today -- I think he might actually be fond of me now! / Fern: It's hard to tell, though -- he's not very demonstrative, but after awhile you can tell when he's happy... / Fern:...
 
Grayling - Tuesday, April 12, 2005 - Page 442 Fern: I do not drink too much. If there is a problem, it is because he sees it. / Smoke: Fern. You drink a bottle a day, at least. You don't eat. / Fern: It doesn't hurt anything. I do my work. I'm responsible. / Fern: Now if you'll excuse me -- / Smoke: It's all gone, Fern. I threw it all away. / Smoke:...
Grayling - Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - Page 443 Fern: So empty in here without the bottles. / Fern: You just HAD to clean, didn't you? Now I won't be able to find anything. / Fern: What about Asne? Has she been alerted to this scheme? / Smoke: Yes. Cal wrote her himself. / Fern: Very thorough with other peoples' lives, isn't he. And I'd better...
Grayling - Sunday, May 1, 2005 - page 444 3 DAYS LATER / {Smoke is asleep on a couch} / {Cals walks up behind him} / Smoke: I didn't tell you to do that. Why did you bring him to the hospital? / Cal: I can't feel him at all, since he's there. / Cal: I haven't gone without him like this... Since... / Cal: I've never been without him this long. / Cal:...
Grayling - Monday, May 2, 2005 - Page 445 Cal: Fern hasn't adapted well to elemental life. Not because he's unintelligent, as Lem would care to believe, but because he has a more powerful understanding of immortality than the other secondaries, in his own fashion. He could adapt, but can't bring himself to want to. But there are possibilities...
Grayling - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 - page 446 {Cal and Smoke stare at eachother} / Cal: Why not? / Smoke: I'm not at liberty. As much as will ever be known, you can get from Viv. / Cal: The truth belongs to you alone, then? I have no right to it? / Smoke: You waived that right by not paying attention. / Cal: Allow me. You know I'll use this to...
 
Grayling - Wednesday, May 4, 2005 - Page 447 Cal: I have always let it slide, Smoke -- Why? You've always exercised good discretion in these instances. You are not careless or disrespectful. But, in addition to that, despite years of research, we still don't know what you are, and why you're more powerful than any primary. / Cal: You could...
Grayling - Monday, May 9, 2005 [Fern narrating.] / Smoke was right, in several respects. It was a lot easier at the hospital. Afterwards, physically, I was fine, no more offkilter than ever, though I coulda done anything for a drink. As it turned out, I was going to stay on the wagon for a few more decades. Hadn't been my plan,...
Grayling - Wednesday, May 11, 2005 [Narration.] / Lem was quick to reply. At first he denied the charge, but Garadian's testimony quickly shot that down -- before Smoke had a chance to confront him with the proof, Lem'd already delivered his second statement -- he had Asne, and "there was nothing we could do about it." / That was around...
Grayling - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - Page 451 Narration: I imagine if I hadn't been in hospital, Cal would have used me instead -- but I'm jumping ahead of myself. / Narration: As for me, as soon as I was lucid enough to understand Smoke's message, I left the hospital. I had to speak rather harshly to Malley to get him to release me. But, mortals...
Grayling - Friday, May 13, 2005 - Page 452 Narration: The funny thing is, Tower's first impression was that Kezper, pounding toward them in a shroud of vague savannah mist, wasn't really that big. / Narration: They were seeing it at such a distance that they did not realize that if it were as small as they thought it was, they should not have...
 
Grayling - Sunday, June 5, 2005 - Page 453 Narration: The tank wasn't designed for complicated vocalization, just something to raise the hairs on their necks. The more dramatic newspapers described its roar as a deep, reverberating bass note that caused more tactile vibration than actual sound; it rattled pictures off the walls. / Narration:...
Grayling - Monday, June 6, 2005 - Page 454 & Page 455 [Page 454] / Narration: Lem was sweating bullets. / Lem: Did you or any of the others carry a message for the prisoner? / distant sound: BOOM / Guard: Sir, no messages have left this room. I haven't taken my eyes off her since you summoned me. / Lem: This is a rather extreme measure to take without...
Grayling - Tuesday, June 7, 2005 - page 456 [VOICEOVER] / Fern: Considering the tank wasn't equipped for anything as complicated as combat, Kezper did pretty well with it. / Fern: It beat a retreat from the carmors, gaining the ground it needed to charge them. / Fern: By that time, Cal had left his lab to come view the proceeding from a safe distance...
Grayling - Wednesday, June 8, 2005 - page 457 [VOICEOVER] / Fern: Most of the land around Tower was riddled by an ancient melcey warren. Many of the borrows had been abandoned, and while normal people and vehicles could move across them without even knowing the antiquated tunnels were still there... The old underground supports had not been built...
Grayling - Thursday, June 9, 2005 - page 458 [VOICEOVER] / Fern: Out came the main computer, and it was all over for the tank. / Fern: Cal just stood there, flabbergasted. / [/VOICEOVER] / Fern: Um. Cal. Um. I think he's going to drop it on-- / {The enormous heart/computer drops heavily near Cal, Fern, and Smoke} THUD / Fern: Get back! / [VOICEOVER] / Fern:...
