Ok, I"m ashamed that I didn't catch on to this before, and I'm sure that many people have made note of it already. Please, forgive me if I'm a little slow on this, but why does everything BAD at this place revolve around water? I mean just about everything has had some sort of water related happenstance. Traveling river, the rain, the too serene pool, the steam tunnels, even the wash lady has to do with water.

I'm sure that some of the other entities are related to water in some way or another as well. The possums hang around a coffee shop (a stretch there I think), but the I'm just trying to figure out the 2 things related to falling asleep in class. Those are outliers, but then they are also related to dreams, and not the waking world....so they could be a bit different?

The Devil seems to be against them, and he isn't born of water....but is rather connected with fire. So could THAT be something? Also, I'm a little scared about the Devil. I'm just remembering Kate and the whole "We don't make deals with the supernatural" thing. It never turns out well.

Maybe the dinner will help you shed some light on what's going on. If nothing else you could get a nice meal and some good company. I just hope the food is good.
