WILLIAM BISHOP ![]() █ act one: way down we go ▸Ritman High Football Field ![]() | ![]() "So, uh...." Marco seemed to decide that Billy was a safe bet, and approached. "Billy. How's it going with the band?" "Ah, man, great! We have a tour coming up in August. Got a lot of momentum we don't wanna lose after Godsend." He took a final drag on his cigarette, and pitched the butt carelessly as he looked back toward the break in the fence. Jack and Sara finally showed up, and Meir ran off briefly. Billy thought it was to help them, but when the three came back, Sara and Jack were lugging a keg alone, and Meir had the time capsule. Billy assumed Jack had waved off his help, though the two looked like they were struggling a little. Billy moved forward to help, making an awkward triangle around the keg, and then got the first cup out of it. "Cheers!" he said, knocking back half of it in one go. He gathered around with the rest, a little jittery with anticipation, as Meir forced the capsule open. And nothing. Well, not nothing. A book that Billy(and apparently everyone else) had never seen before. As Meir flipped through the pages, to see that most were even blank, Billy put a hand to his face to stifle a giggle. “The fuck?” Dante astutely summarized what they were all thinking. “Where is — who put the Necronomicon in here?” At that, Billy's laughter broke over, and he took a step back. After a moment, he got some words out, "I'm sorry, it's just… we all came here to face awkward shit from high school, right? Only, the awkward shit from high school couldn't even be bothered to show!" He cackled again. "For real though, what's this book? C'mon, nerd," he said, jokingly, as he nudged Meir gently with a boot, "What’s it say? Can you read it?" ![]() |
