I think it was just for a day- but I don't even know what today is so who knows. A whole ton of spirits just went nuts. They were pissed and messing things up for everybody, not just us. Oh, but it was none of the spiders so don't... [Emi gave Noya a quick reassuring look, knowing where the other boy's thoughts might jump to, slightly shaking his head.] Didn't have anything to do with that.

He winced a little as he rubbed a touch too hard at his bruises, but it encouraged his words along.] There were weird clones or whatever of folks running around too, making trouble.

Ran into one of those. Then I guess I got kidnapped or whatever.
