Blink

07:00 - Lync

It's coming up to seven o'clock now. I'm not quite sure when I would ever need to sound the horn from my brother, but then again, who knows what goes on in his crazy head?

I turn my head to the side, away from the door. It screeches open but I don't have the strength to move back. I know it's Acht so I don't need to see her anyway. She comes from the same place as Vier I think, but they fell out not too long ago and I'm not sure they've spoken since.

Acht doesn't speak a lot of English though so it must be quite lonely of late. She comes around to the side I'm facing and sits next to me.

"How's Vier and the rest if them? And you?"

Way to break the ice. I think she misses him. A lot. Her accent is striking and thick, reminding me to speak clearly. But my energy levels are practically buried under the floor, they're so low. She notices and passes me an energy drink. I mutter something that's supposed to resemble thanks but probably sounds like inaudible rubbish. I take a good, long gulg and immediately start to feel the benefits. I nod my head just in case she couldn't understand my earlier response.

I take another sip of the pure energy. "Vier is as insane as usual, everyone else seems especially cheery and I'm going to be dead by the morning whether through exhaustion, dehydration, lack of food or The Blink. Exciting times."

Acht sighs and places some more energy drinks along with some food next to me on the floor as she gets up. "I can't give you anymore help than this. Sorry Lync. I guess you'll just have to wait another hour for a riddle from Nine. Good luck." She walks into the middle of the warehouse between me and the door. She turns back to face me. "You're going to need it."

She looks up to the roof and opens her arms to the sides before she disappears altogether.
