All right, I need you to sound off so I know who you are and if you're not a ghost. Getting annoying mixing the two up after this long.

[The video crackles to life and reveals someone awkwardly trying to hold the camera right. He doesn't exactly succeed as it's slightly crooked, but he doesn't seem to notice and instead starts to talk.]
Hi, I'm Robert Franklin and I'm in charge of the library in the Cave. It's my job to help out anybody who wants to use the library to learn about how things were before the Disaster or even other academic subjects that might be either an interest to you or something useful for your job. Even if you don't need a book, I'm always happy to help answer any questions you may have about the Cave or even things in the Overworld like the City.
[There's a short pause as he thinks for a moment, trying to remember something, but shrugs it off pretty quickly.]
I'll be in here more often than not, so everybody is welcome to come on by. You can even contact me with the communicators if you need to. I've heard that some of you are already in the City, right? If you ever have any free time, I'd like it if you could come over and tell me about how it is there after all these years. The City must be really different from what I remember and what I've read about.
[About five minutes after his initial post, he turns his communicator back on, looking like he has something important to say.]
Oh and I would also like to mention that we do not carry fiction books in the library. You're going to have to look elsewhere for them, I'm afraid.

[ Aziraphale's tones are more clipped and precise than usual, as if trying to contain his temper. He looks tense and exhausted. ]
I have restored and organized the shop I am meant to run. Gates's, at [ street & directions ]. It's not comprehensive, but if you don't want to break into a library it is possible I might have helpful information amidst - everything. All the history that I can't quite make sense of. The little devices - readers - I have those too.
[ He pauses and works his jaw for a moment. ]
And I have blank books. In case anyone has things they need to remember. . . . Appointments, that sort of thing. After all, 'memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.'
[ He shifts to switch off the communicator; if you look very carefully, you might catch a glimpse of a stack of books behind his elbow, real books, though they look incongruously new. Most of them have blank spines, but on the binding of one near the bottom of the stack, it says Lyrical Ballads. ]

[This call was actually supposed to be only for Gabriel, but since he's really drunk, it's going out to everyone. His voice is a little slurred, although it's still mostly intelligible.]
Do you remember flying? I think...I think that's why we fall. Flying--. Flying was our little peephole into freedom, you know. I bet Father did that on purpose. He always...always had a poor sense of humor.
[Silence.]
I flew. I think. It felt like it, anyway. Maybe I'm imagining it. I can't seeeee my wings. Of course not. I just... I wake up these days wondering why the hell I do.

[Communicators in both the City and the Cave come to life with a short burst of static and then plays a bit of what sounds like garbled speaking. It’s impossible to make out what’s being said and after a minute, it stops abruptly and the transmission clears up considerably. The voice that speaks is very obviously not human and instead robotic like someone is plugging this all into a text to speech program.]
Do not adjust your set. This is something you want to listen to, Sleepers of Espas.
What you’ve been told by the Workers is a lie to get you to do what the Caretaker wants you to do. He has plans for you and for it to work, he needs you to believe you’re someone you’re not. We know that some of you haven’t gone along with his game and have been punished for it. While we are pleased that at least a number of you Sleepers have not given into the lies, we do not agree with the fact that you have let him know of your defiance.
We know that you’re listening, Caretaker. You don’t call, you don’t write. Why, it’s starting to make us feel like you don’t love us anymore. Did you leave us for younger and prettier Sleepers? Is that the sort of person you’ve become, you cougar you? We’re absolutely shocked by this development.
[Not long after this announcement, the sapphires in the ceiling of the Cave begin to radiate a different color, this time having changed to a chestnut.]

[The camera pans around to what, at first glance, is not recognisable as the walls of the Cave. This is mostly because they've been decorated with a pattern of yellow, orange and red circles underlaid by purple and blue tartan. A close look will prove that in places--the places which are most shadowed--the new colour scheme doesn't hold up, like an untrained painter took shortcuts, but from a distance and where there's a lot of light, it looks entirely authentic. Given the glow of the crystals? The effect is rather ... startling.
[And Gabriel, while sounding tired, also sounds entirely like a cat who just lapped up a whole bowl of cream after being denied it for weeks prior.]
Isn't this just beautiful?
[The camera whizzes around suddenly to focus on the archangel's grinning face. He raises his eyebrows once, twice in quick succession.]
Catch me if you can, boys!
[And then the camera shuts off. The new paintwork will last four or five hours before fading as if it had never been there.]

May. 16th, 2012 07:56 pmdelightmeI, personally, would like to give a big round of applause to those who managed to get a method of transportation working AFTER we slogged through a wasteland full of mortal danger.
What wonderful timing.
I was starting to feel a little like one of the Israelites, wandering with no sense of direction in the desert for 40 years.

inequalShould I be worried about how the lights seems to have gone sideways? Hope it isn't a sign that the ceiling is ready to fall in on us. Now that would be a bloody crying shame and I would expect that our fine, upstanding and completely transparent officials would have something to say on that matter.
Not that it isn't a nice colour. Bravo on whoever picked it out, if it is in fact not some kind of portent of our impending doom.
