[She's sitting in a small house with the video on. There's really not much to see behind her. It's pretty dark except for a fire in the back. Anything else behind her is a little hard to make out.

However Candy looks a mess. Her hair looks like she tried to tame it but it's not going well, she's a little dirty, too. But she's also grinning wildly as she looks into the camera. Almost bouncing with how happy she is.]

You guys aren't going to believe the day I've had.

No, I had a friend with me. John Mischief, but we were separated.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

John Mischief? The famous thief?

[hereafter-candy.livejournal.com]

That one. I guess everyone here knows him.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

He's made quite an impression.

I suppose he was chased off by the police.

[hereafter-candy.livejournal.com]

About as soon as we got to the island.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

That's not surprising.

Was he trying to steal something from the Hereafter? It sounds like something he'd do.

[hereafter-candy.livejournal.com]

No, he'd actually stolen something from the Abarat and was trying to escape a man. The other man was Shape.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

It must have been something important, for him to run all the way to the Hereafter.

[hereafter-candy.livejournal.com]

He said it was a key to something. He didn't exactly say what that something was.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

How mysterious.

Do you have a guide now that he's gone?

[hereafter-candy.livejournal.com]

I don't. I'm staying with this really nice woman right now, but I guess I'll get a plan going tomorrow.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

If you still need help, I'm sure I can contact someone.

[hereafter-candy.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know if I do. I think I can manage for now.

[cruelty-begs.livejournal.com]

Be careful.
