ROWAN TREE

LOG	Who: Sam and Jacob Hood What: Arrival in Rowan. When: 23 September (09)	(The world went black, and something -- the very air -- closed in on him, packed hard and coarse around him like a living grave.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: Sam is crazy in a cave. Guy wants to help. When: 26 September (09)	(Guy was looking at him. Sam nodded at his nod, though his expression didn't change. If Guy started to move, Sam would follow.)
JOURNAL	Who: Sam, Demyx, Cedric, Cho and Jacob What: Sam introduces himself to the other worldwalkers. When: 26 September (09)	(If there's anyone out there who could spare a set of clothes, that would be wonderful.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Leslie Burke What: A fireside chat. When: 01 October (09)	("But that's adulthood for you, I suppose. Constantly trying to adjust to what you assume is the real world. Until it flips itself right on its head.")
LOG	Who: Sam and Jack Harkness What: Remembering. When: 04 October (09)	(He knew very well that what he was about to say would make no sense to the man, but for now there was no other way to put it. "It happened twice.")
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: Learning about the arrival of the caravan. When: 10 October (09)	("I like it here, though, you know? It's..." He shifts a bit, trying to get comfortable. "It's quiet." Most of the time.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Bret McClegnie What: Bret has a song in his head. So does Sam. When: 18 October (09)	(That song. He'd never get it out of his head. It was -- It was -- coming through the wall.)
JOURNAL	Who: Ianto and Sam What: A mysterious, cryptic entry appears in the journals. When: 19 October (09)	(Was it Poe? No Something about April and Damn it I think I've read that before.)
JOURNAL	Who: Ianto and Sam What: More crazy talk. When: 25 October (09)	(Maybe it's not hell. Maybe it's just a fair world.)
JOURNAL	Who: Sam, Bret, Ianto and Guy What: Sam has a drawing of his own to share. When: 27 October (09)	(It's her. You know.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: Sam was confused and upset by Guy's reaction to his journal entry. Misunderstandings ahoy. When: 28 October (09)	(Sam envies him. Resents, even. But he doesn't want to show it, so as soon as Guy's eyes meet his he looks down, scanning the floor.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Bret What: Bret's going bye-bye for a while. When: 30 October (09)	(We've got to stop meeting like this, he almost said. But he didn't quite have his sense of humour back.)
LOG	Who: Sam, Jack and Robbie Turner What: Ghost hunting and drinks. When: 31 October (09)	("Can't remember the last time I went out for a drink," he said with a flash of an amiable smile. Actually, he probably could remember if he thought about it. But he didn't want to think about it. Figure of speech.)
JOURNAL	Who: Sam and Ianto What: Sam misses his partner in crazy. When: 1 November (09)	(Although it is, without question, a very odd world.)
JOURNAL	Who: Sam and September What: Questions about funereal rites. When: 10 November (09)	(In general, the ritual is fire. Ashes and smoke, which carry the material of the body up, towards the land of the dead.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: Saying good-bye to Jill. When: 11 November (09)	(The bottom of the jacket starts to burn. Sam slowly lowers it into the flame, then drops his arm to his side and stands. Watching it burn, and the smoke rise up toward the land of the dead.)
JOURNAL	Who: Bret and Sam What: Bret's checking in. When: 15 November (09)	(You're alive - good. Stay that way.)
JOURNAL	Who: Jack and Sam What: Jack wants to know how Sam's doing. When: 20 November (09)	(Just hedging my bets. I've always had something of a problem with existence in general.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Cassandra, Sam and Jack What: Admiring the scenery. On a boat. Muthafucka. When: 22 November (09)	(He would be careful, and he'd be prepared. The last time he'd tried to fight someone... he didn't want to think about how laughably fast he'd gone down.)
JOURNAL	Who: Guy and Sam What: The reason Guy doesn't speak. When: 24 November (09)	(New York City, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Diego, Chicago, Washington DC, Seattle, Detroit, Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Atlanta, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, Memphis, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Denver.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: The aftermath of Guy's journal entry. When: 24 November (09)	(A tiny little thrill runs down Sam's spine before he actually, consciously realizes that Guy just gave him a kiss, and then he freezes.)
LOG	Who: Sam, Guy and Daxter What: The Battle for Jhelbor When: 25 November (09)	(The city is glowing...Even the rain itself shimmers.)
JOURNAL	Who: Bret and Sam. What: Checking in again (Bret's good for that, apparently). When: Shortly after the battle dies down.	(I'm alive.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Cassandra What: Surprise: you're a shaman! When: 01 December (09)	(Then she got to the bit about gods speaking to him through dreams, and Sam let out an involuntary 'heh' -- after which his face twisted into a tight-lipped smirk. Ooh, lovely. He was back to laughing at not-terribly-funny things again.)
JOURNAL	Who: Sam and Bret What: So what happened to Ianto, anyway? When: 02 December (09)	(Define 'best.')
LOG	Who: Sam, Cho, Ianto, Bret, Jemaine and Jack What: Meeting Ianto face-to-face. When: 02 December (09)	(Oh. Shit. Sam didn't think he could remember any more lines from The Wasteland. Except, no, he remembered 'April is the cruelest month,' but to just start rattling off random lines of poetry would be stupid.)
LOG	Who: Just about every worldwalker, goddamn What: A town hall meeting to discuss neutrality. When: 09 December (09)	(Sam didn't care where the worldwalkers ended up so long as they ended up there together. So long as he could be where Guy and Bret and Jack and Ianto and Cho and Cassandra were.)
JOURNAL	Who: Ianto and Sam What: Ianto is thanking those who've helped him. When: 16 December (09)	((now the ears of my ears awake and / now the eyes of my eyes are opened))
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: Resolving their feelings for one another. When: 16 December (09)	(Christ, he's an idiot. Or possibly just very confused.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy What: Resolution! When: 16 December (09)	(Sam Lowry does not do anything by halves -- not anything that really matters.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Cho What: Cho finds Sam hovering outside the Christmas party. When: 25 December (09)	(They were just decorations, he told himself. It wasn't the real Christmas. That had been three months ago. Therefore, it couldn't be Christmas.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Ianto What: Thanking Ianto for the present. When: 25 December (09)	("I'm sorry I haven't come around. Things got--" Wonderful? Strange? Astonishingly confusing? "--complicated.")
LOG	Who: Sam and Ianto What: A long-overdue social call. When: 30 December (09)	("There's no pamphlet to tell us how to cope with being here. But even if there were, it likely wouldn't do very much.")
LOG	Who: Sam, lots of others What: A New Year's party. When: 31 December (09)	(He's fully aware that something could change tomorrow and he'd feel differently. All the more reason to hold onto the feeling now.)
JOURNAL	Who: Sam and Cassandra What: Making a list. Shaman talk. When: 03 January (10)	(Still no contact from any gods. Not that I could tell, anyhow.)
JOURNAL	Who: Guy David and Sam What: Words. A surprising amount of them. When: 04 January (10)	(I'll see you tonight?.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Guy David What: More words, though not necessarily ones Sam wants to hear. When: 04 January (10)	("I'll hear from you, at least?" "Yeah," David lies. "Yeah, you'll hear from me.")
LOG	Who: Sam and.... not!Guy What: Sam gets that message from the gods he's been wanting. When: 12 January (10)	(Guy, as opposed to David. But they're the same person, and anyway Guy never glowed like that, and that smile? Is kind of creepy, at least in context.)
LOG	Who: Sam and Bret What: Lunch. Awkward questions. When: 17 January (10)	(Was Bret bringing this up because he knew? No one had said a word to Sam yet about him and Guy, but they had been a bit... obvious at New Year's.)
JOURNAL	Who: Jemaine and Sam What: More awkward questions. When: 21 January (10)	(He's been a good friend to me. I'm only returning the favour.)
LOG	Who: Sam, Bret, Ianto, Jack, Penny, Tails and John. What: The Eastern Elf ambassador arrives bearing some bad (and really weird) news. When: 23 January (10)	("It's not him." He didn't really believe that, otherwise he would be able to let go of the envelope.)
LOG	Who: Sam and not!Guy What: Sam continues his tumble down the rabbit-hole. When: 23 January (10)	("So are you gonna go, then? Is that how this works?")
