Matt gets some candles and a matchbook out of one of his toolchests, and lights a few.  Once the darkness is driven out of his home, he looks out the window.  No good.  And if electronics don't work, he won't be able to start his Silverwing.  No way he's walking across town for backup.  Looks like he's going to be stuck here for a while.<br/><br/>[My laptop has burned out, and it'll be a bit before I get it back.  I'll try to get online and post here at least once a day, but since I'll be posting from the library, the, ah, content I can deal with openly might be a touch limited.  I should be able to be more or less up-and-running by monday or tuesday next week.  My apologies, but it's unavoidable.<br/><br/>Chris:  I don't have access to the book, either.  Is there any way Matt could make a sort of video phone call to one of the other PCs through, say, a bathroom mirror?  I dig the idea of connecting two mirros together across the city and talking through them, maybe by holding up a whiteboard if he can't get audio.  It'd be sweet.  Thanks.]
