dead hearts are everywhere

[Stan arrives at the chapel early. It doesn't take long to re-create his ghost summoning setup from yesterday; he left all the materials stowed under one of the middle pews, where the hymnals should have been. He sets it up exactly as it was, right down to the angles of the candles. Honestly he suspects the mirror was the only really important part, but he's not about to risk technical difficulties. Not tonight.

The rest of it was all gathered up earlier: there's some coffee, to ward against people falling asleep outside the rooms, and a lot of extra notebooks and pens taken from the storage room. He didn't tell anybody what to bring, after all, or what to expect. Secrets are easier for one person to keep, even if only for a day. Some of the rest might have gotten excited, the Kingmaker might have gotten curious, and then what?

As the meeting time draws near, he tears a page from one of the notebooks, scribbles his little symbol and a message on it, and slides it in front of the mirror.]

You there?

[To the others, he turns with a grin. In a voice somewhere between a gravelly whisper and his Mr. Mystery act, he says:]

Thanks for comin'. Our friends on the other side have been waitin' for us.

[Well it's... time to see what he can do.]

Hello everyone. Gabriel here.

Have you been able to get to places we can't?

[trustharder]

["Just the surveillance room, so far, but we've been searching."]

[notjustawriter]

I take it that's where the Kingmaker watches us, then?

[....]

Were you the ones who set of the klaxons?

[trustharder]

["Yeah that was them, they were messing around in there for awhile."]

[notjustawriter]

Pretty confusing, but I'm not gonna complain.

I bet it annoyed the hell out of the Kingmaker.

[trustharder]

["No idea. We haven't heard from him."]

[notjustawriter]

He might not know y'all exist.

You should try to keep an eye out just in case.
