Hope your group is doing okay. Have you come across any clues about the missing?

Just the one note. In verse, as usual. It seems we have to find a tree first.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Us, too. Think it's the same tree?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Maybe. What does yours say?

What you lost can yet be found
Where the tree of life kisses the sky
With its feet on the ground.

That's exactly what we have. So... I'm going to go on a limb here and assume they're in the same place.

Sounds like it. Have you figured out where it might be?

California, if Ariadne's information is correct. Redwood National Forest.

CA, here we come then. Did everyone get their gifts back?

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

In our group, yes. Plus one extra egg for Persephone. Yours?

Yes. We need to get Astarte back before Seth kills someone. I'm not very happy either.

Please tell Erato I'm sorry about this weekend and I'll call her asap. I miss her.

Perhaps she'll want to come along. Persephone is her half-sister, after all.

[Text]

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Right. I guess we'll see each other soon.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Tell your team we head out on the 21st. We'll met you there.

See you there.
