[A wide-eyed Elliott appears on video suddenly, hair tousled like he's been running his fingers through it a lot. His voice holds a note of urgency]

Guys.

I've been looking at my notes, and there's stuff about- about all this. Like I don't fully understand everything, but I just--

The stones are- the gods-

[He reaches back for something and reads off of it]

Even the altar. Like. They're all malachite?? Malachite is 'a gift from Nevedomost'. The priest's name is Neved?? 16 recesses. But there's only 8 stones listed.. Oh, he's- he's unbalanced.

Even- even the palace guard Uspor- Usporiadat? Zmat in the market. What kind of--

The King being sick or possessed after he went out there. Anthony could sense it- the deities battling in the hills?? Are there really?

[He glances around, possessed by a growing frenetic energy]

This is- I can't- I need to do.. something with all this.


Edit:

My notes. Add stuff if you want?

Elliott N. would like to share a document with you.

OK, first of all, breathe, Elliot darling. You won't be able to do anything if you work yourself up into a panic.

Then, once you've calmed down a bit, tell us about this theory of yours.

You think... gods are just, what? Living life over in another universe...

Okay, now that I say that out loud, the possibility seems both impossible... but also possible.

Dude, you okay? You sound like you're hyperventilating.

[Martin may be new to this, but ... well. some things will always grab his attention]

You know, I can't say I understand most of this, but I can still appreciate good research when I see it. If I come across anything that isn't here, I'll add it for you, dear boy.

[Lisa had gone down to play when she'd gotten back from the other side, so it was late by the time she saw the post; that didn't make it any less surreal, and by the time she'd caught up with the information and taken everything in fully, she couldn't help herself.]

Elliott, you're amazing, but you need to take a breath or you're not gonna be able to do anything before you fall over. Deep breaths, then tell me how I can help.
