LOTL role-playing game he someday hopes to write)
"Album"
01:40 Will wakes up in a blue long sleeved shirt, and a
gold
necklace. It looks like the same brown corduroy pants and belt
knife
and big brass belt buckle we've seen before.
02:25 Rick puts on a brown belt over his usually khaki pants and
shirt.
02:53 Double Fat-Rats! Holly has a large gourd bowl and a brown
burlap sack that she is apparently trying to catch whatever is
stealing their food stuffs.
04:43 Will is creating a broom out of straw and bamboo. Rick has
a
steel camping plate over a fire pit and a large plastic water
jug.
04:57 Will is pulling purple weeds out of the Marshals garden
area.
05:33 The music Will hears leads him over the rock bridge and
crevasse that we've seen before.
05:54 The music takes will to the Beware of Sleestak pillar that
we've seen outside the Lost City. This is apparently near the
stone
archway outside the entrance to the Lost City.
06:45 Will has apparently come into the room in the Lost City
where
the crystals grow on the walls and there is a crystal control
pedestal.
07:24 Will picks up a blue glowing crystal and looks into what
appears to be the mist-filled time doorway that
Enik was trying to
get home through. There he sees a vision of his mother.
08:52 Holly is cooking carrots (again) for dinner.
09:09 Rick is carrying logs he's using to make a fire.
10:21 Holly is building a larger trap scaffolding off the floor
with
pieces of bamboo when she hears the music that Will hears, but
only
for a second.
11:41 The crystal control pedestal does not glow in this
episode.
11:59 Will picks up a glowing green crystal off the floor around
the
pedestal to see the vision of his mother. When Holly comes into
the
cave, she apparently cannot see the vision because she is not
touching the crystal. Will doesn't seem to be able to hear Holly
while he is looking at the vision.
13:00 When Holly picks up the crystal she sees the vision as
well,
though she doesn't seem to immediately recognize her mother.
13:38 The vision of the Marshals mother tells them that it is
too
late if they don't come immediately and that they should not
only
come back tomorrow, but also to not tell anyone. The vision is
blurry
and not very clear. Will thinks they can't see her clearly
because
their memories of her are fading. He also says that he can't
seem to
be able to tell their father. He tries but cannot seem to speak
out.
14:41 Rick has both his camp shovel and coil of yellow nylon
rope. He
mentions that he uses Sun Signals to send messages to the
children.
15:13 Holly is moping at the bamboo table where they eat dinner.
15:45 There are three burlap sacks hanging from bamboo
scaffolding.
Next to two gourd bowls. Apparently this is where they keep
their
food in storage off the ground.
16:21 Rick mentions that they tend to get edgy around here.
16:36 Will has four smaller wooden bowls with plants in them.
16:42 Holly wonders why they can see their mom when they know
she is
dead. Will speculates that the time doorway may be showing a
time
when she is alive. Will mentions that he doesn't want to go back
to
the Cave of Visions as well, implying that he is compelled to.
17:19 Rick has a long shallow wicker basket he is going to use
for
his chores.
17:36 Holly can't seem to be able to tell her father about the
Album
as well.
17:44 Here we clearly see a very large moon and two very small
moons
in the night sky (or perhaps these are suns?).
17:50 After apparently working the garden all day to plant, when
night falls Holly and Will hear the music of the Album and go
back to
the Cave of Visions. Rick follows them.
18:35 Holly is crying even before she sees the visions.
18:51 Rick Marshal (in a suit) is added to the vision of their
mother
beckoning Holly and Will to follow them into the misty cave.
Which
they do.
19:27 The vision of Rick, in a blue turtleneck and black and
white
checkered sports jacket leads them further into the cave.
19:24 Will and Holly are apparently compelled to lie to Rick or
are
re-enacting earlier memories. Holly says she got an A in
English "today" and Will says that he pitched a no-hitter
"today" (so
apparently he used to play baseball). It is here that we see the
vision of Rick is really a Sleestak.
20:00 There is a very large blue glowing crystal on the floor
against
the wall of the Album Cave.
20:13 When Rick picks up the red crystal from the pedestal it is
not
glowing and apparently has no affect but when he picks up the
blinking blue crystal he sees a vision of his children and
immediately realizes that they are not real. He throws the
crystal
hard on the ground and it explodes in a shower of sparks. The
vision
immediately goes away and he sees a single Sleestak behind the
mist.
20:51 Rick apparently wore dark pants with his styling sports
jacket.
20:58 In a deeper cave in the lost city there are three
Sleestaks
over a pit full of mist with a rock bridge over it. This might
be the
original pit of the Sleestak God.
21:04 Rick slaps the crystals out of Holly and Will's hands,
immediately breaking the spell it has on them. Then in a
testosterone
filled rage jumps on the Sleestak that appeared as him. Another
Sleestak comes up behind him. Rick picks up the crystals that he
slapped out of Will's hand and slams it against the Sleestak
attacking
him from the back. It explodes in a flash of light and the
Marshalls
run out.
21:32 Rick speculates that the crystals made them see what they
wanted most loved and that they must have been under some form
of
hypnosis. Rick thinks that they wanted to capture all three of
the
Marshals in their trap and so did not immediately take Will when
he
first came to the Cave of the Album. What were the Sleestaks
plans
for when they captured all of the Marshalls. Could these
crystals be
used for other reasons?
22:09 Holly decides she doesn't like traps and abandons
her plans to
trap the night visitor.
