Phone Call to Nimue

Hello, Nina? It's Jonah. If you get this, please call me as soon as you can. If I haven't heard from you in a day or so, I'm going to try Galen as well.

Jonah's phone rings

It's Nina. Are you all right?

She sounds exhausted

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

He is still panting.

Nina! Thank the goddesses! I am safe and sound, thanks to you, my dear. Are you alright?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Thank the gods. Yes. I'm all right. Just tired. What was that?

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

I'm still not exactly sure who she is, but her name's Wendy, and I feel quite certain she was responsible for the riot at the retirement center. She was doing her damndest to start another riot where we were. She's related to those dreams I've been having, for sure.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for coming to me. I just hope you didn't harm yourself.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

No. I didn't hurt myself. Just tired myself out. Galen is sure to have something to say about that.

I couldn't see what was happening. I just knew something was wrong, that you were in danger.

So a riot. What else can you tell me?

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Not much else, really. I was out for my evening walk, and I encountered Wendy on the street. I'll admit it. I was terrified, but I wanted answers. Her presence reminded me of my dreams, and I thought she might also have something to do with the hotel people, so I took her to a bar. She tried to lure me into a brawl, and I thought I could play some music on the jukebox to break up the brawl. Your face appeared to me in the jukebox, and then I ran back to the store.

She wanted me to give her my name, but I never did. I told her my name was Nigel.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Nigel? She chuckles but it isn't anywhere near her typical level of amusement. Well done!

I'm tempted to say that if you felt she was connected with your dreams then she is. I think you may have run into one of these perpetrators. I wish I were there to get something from the scene so that maybe I could track them, possibly identify them. Bother!

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Thanks! Well, given all the bizarre things that have happened to us the last three months, I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Wendy, or even Wendy herself, appeared in your neck of the woods. Please, please be careful!

Any more thoughts about finding Avalon?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Galen won't let me take chances, dear. Even as tired as she was she sounded a bit frustrated by that. Don't worry. But I do think I will be setting up some more wards and protections. Perhaps some alerts in case they do come this way.

Everything is hazy when I try to look. It's very frustrating! That said, I do sense...something. Something of Avalon coming. I don't know what.
