predicted something's going to happen today. hard to put exactly what into words. it's like the past is going to be here. someone's going to find the past? a door to the past?

[Known Cicada Wielders]

so I talked to Dr. Huang about the shit. I showed him the way the pieces move when I use the cicada rock thing when I throw bones. good news is he could see the pattern too and didn't think I was nuts. he said it doesn't look like a prediction so much as it's pointing to something. like a treasure map.

Trippy.

I never realized Divination could be so poetic!

Oh, man, I'm not old enough to go too far into my past.

maybe. not sure what exactly is gonna happen

is it?

might be someone else's

Unless you think someone's going to find an old Time-Turner, it's probably metaphorical, which makes it a fun puzzle. Is it nostalgia? Is someone going to throw a Seventies-themed birthday party? Or maybe it's just an old door mirror!

oh I see what you mean. more riddle than poem them I guess.

Maybe it's a portal so we can jump back in time and fix whatever circumstances lead to the world ending before January 1st.

A poetic puzzle! Much more lyrical than Arithmancy formulae.

I hope it's that they're bringing cherry vanilla coke back.

oh

cool

what’d that look like

Would be even better if they were dead. Especially if they died under mysterious circumstances and we were tasked with finding out how.

That sounds exciting but it could just be like old records turning up in a dusty filing cabinet or something.

A treasure map?!

Come on, you are supposed to be the mystery type. Maybe it's someone dead!

I guess ghosts ARE a door to the past!!

Well. We ought to find where it’s pointing.
And we still need to talk to Mr. Swint.

If the "past is going to be here" that just screams ghost to me.

And it's the right time of year for it, with ghost stories being a Christmas tradition!

How FAR in the past is this ghost going to be from, do you think??

Are they a Christmas tradition?

Okay, I say anything more recent than 100 years is just boring.

Yes!! You've heard of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, right? The Victorians made it popular but it goes back even earlier than that. The long dark nights and cold weather made it the ideal time to tell spooky stories... and I guess it didn't hurt that in the past more people died in winter. (Cold weather = literally a killer!)

But if they're recently deceased and they were murdered then their killer might still be alive!!

I knew about A Christmas Carol but I didn't think it was a thing beyond that. Makes sense, though. Do you think we can set up a ghost-story session before school lets out? Since we are talking tradition here.

This town is too small for murder. Or is it?

Think it's the cave or something else ?

Yeah. Wanna know how Swint fits in to everything.

Or maybe everything I've written so far is actually a prophecy!!

We definitely should!! The fewer people that make it a thing, the more likely a tradition is to die out, and we can't have that!

No town is EVER too small for murder!!
