[Inspector Javert is looking very different these days. He's dressed in a modest, somewhat battered trench coat and suit. A pair of sunglasses hangs from his breast pocket, and his hair has been cropped short. Gone is the nineteenth century fashion and tied-back mess of gypsy hair. His arms are folded loosely across his chest.

He still retains an exceedingly calm air of authority as he makes his public address.]

Visitors and seasonal tourists: unplug your eyes and ears and hear this before you clog the bulletin networks with your panic.

In lieu of the travel agencies, congratulations. You have entered Somarium, the merry city of dreams, of your own choice, whether you are aware of it or not. Unfortunately our exit mechanisms are currently [the corner of his mouth subtly twitches] out of service, and until our lab rats finish their tinkering you will remain in the city. You will be kept posted on any changes in status.

For now, find lodgings with a respectable hotel and remain patient. Should you have any concerns, direct your questions to Chief Inspector Javert or other members of the police.

Yet it must be done when there might be a thief in your ranks. Or do you want to wait until the next expensive restricted equipment walks away from the labs?

Tch. How can you be so damn sure it was an inside job, anyway?

[chose-death.livejournal.com]

We can't.

Not until we investigate your personnel.

Then make it quick unless you want the newcomers to start a riot.
