««««{{Enter Bartleby}}»»»» «««« Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria... »»»» » » »» Bartleby looked down at the floor. "And then I will, too..." He quickly glanced at everyone. Thinking to himself, 'Will they be this sad too if I died? Probably.' Removing his hand from Olivias shoulder, he took a few steps backwards, slowly shaking his head.
"Where will we put the board... What if the children find it..." He was thinking out loud, almost whispering. His eyes narrowing, looking left and right. "I don't want it ruined... What if they... I don't know." Taking a few more steps back, he sat on the floor, legs crossed, his head resting on his fist. "Well... This is all too much... Is everybody....going to be alright?" His eyes shot up and looked at Olivia, then Rytogu, Erin and Cybele. ««««...de tua pulchritudine.»»»» «««« {{Exit Bartleby}}»»»»

««««{{Enter Bartleby}}»»»» «««« Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria... »»»» » » »» "Okay! But if they do, what will happen? That's what I'm wondering." Bartleby shrugged and looked at the floor again. "I don't know...I just worry too much." He tried to smile and laugh, didn't work out. He shook his head. ««««...de tua pulchritudine.»»»» «««« {{Exit Bartleby}}»»»»

««««{{Enter Bartleby}}»»»» «««« Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria... »»»» » » »» Bartleby stared down, his eyes almost wide. "I hope so." He quickly stood up, moving too fast and almost losing balance. With a small grunt he caught himself, standing still for a few brief moments. He felt odd, almost lost in a vast sea of awful thoughts. It was like a wave of emotions just smacked him then, and he lost his balance this time. His back hit the wall hard, and he groaned and slid to the floor. He was taking this day very badly now... Eyes almost shut, he stared in Olivias direction. His mouth opened slightly, like he was going to say something. ««««...de tua pulchritudine.»»»» «««« {{Exit Bartleby}}»»»»

Rytogu He shruged and said "I think tthey will just assume it to be a signiture of the builder of the house, and think about this, this is legible to us, cause we are small. I doubt their eyes will even notice the tiny, very tiny print."

Olivia stood with the board and knife in her hand, unsure of what to do. Bartleby was right to be concerned, and yet Rytogu had made a good point too. Then she thought about Angie. "I don't know what to do ..." she murmured.
She thought, "Well, the words 'Angie forever lost and loved' and 'Rytogu' are already carved in the board, so if more people signed, it might be alright, maybe ..." Finally, when Angie's face flashed across her mind - Angie as she had been before she broke into hundreds of pieces ... the image decided her. She would definitely sign. Someone should remember that Angie had lived. There would be no gravestone, and this would be the best they'd be able to do for her to remember her life and her death.
Her voice caught in her throat a bit as she said, "I hope this isn't too selfish, but I want to sign it, for Angie's sake, and maybe for mine too. I think we all need and want to believe that if something like this happened to any of the rest of us, we'd do the same thing. Angie was so shy and quiet, and she didn't speak very much, but this board will do her talking for her. She lived, she died, and we will remember. There can't be a burial or a gravestone, so this is the best we can do for her. I understand how you feel, though. We're all afraid that they'll find out we can move at night and afraid of what might happen if they did. We might not be human, but we are alive, we think and feel and love, and we can die. We can't let our fear keep us from being free and alive and from living with as much dignity as we can."
Olivia carefully signed the board "Olivia" and quietly handed it back to Rytogu. She didn't want anyone who wasn't sure about signing to have to be forced into taking it from her hands. If they decided to sign, they could ask him for the board and knife.

Erin walked over to the others. "I'll sign too, if that's alright with everyone," She said softly, "If we just let ourselves forget someone just because we did not know them, eventually no one will remember any of us."

««««{{Enter Bartleby}}»»»» «««« Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria... »»»» » » »» Slowly, Bartleby lifted his head up. 'How dramatic', that's what he told himself, 'That's what you just were. Dramatic.' "Okay, then I'll stop this worry I'm about to shake off." He stood up, dusting off his bottom and walking forward. "So, yes... All here are signing, that's good..." He blinked his eyes a few times and looked around at everyone. "Let's just hope this doesn't happen again..." He whispered to himself. ««««...de tua pulchritudine.»»»» «««« {{Exit Bartleby}}»»»»

"Yes, thank you." Erin said as she took the board and knife from Cybele and signed her name.
