This is Tifa. Thanks for calling. I can't answer the phone right now but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Have a good day!

[Vriska glances around quickly for threats on the ground; seeing none, she lands]

Nah. These are special.

[she taps a boot]

So, uh... I guess I'm supposed to ask how you're doing.

[action]

[more_than_words]

[Tifa can't help notice that Vriska trusts her enough to land and it means something. She's not about to comment on it but - she appreciates it considering how crazy some others seem to have gone.

She offers a smile but it's more rueful than real.]

You could but I don't think either of us are really doing well. Do you have any idea where he'll wake up?

[action]

[dicey]

I'm doing okay. The death price is probably the biggest problem here.

... He'll wake up in about a week.

[action] (looks like our girls get to find the body. yay? lol)

[more_than_words]

[Tifa will exhale through her lips. She's never had death in this place hit quite so true and she's still having a hard time reconciling it to the literal death she's well acquainted with back home. So far she's managed to avoid really facing what it means... but that's getting harder.

She'll deal with it the best way she knows how.]

Okay. So first we need to find his body.

[And then... she doesn't want to ask because she doesn't want to know but she needs to so after another inhale:]

What's the usual death price?

[action]

[dicey]

[OOC: hmmm maybe they should split off before that? In later threads I've already had Vriska tell Zell she didn't find him in time.]

It can be anything. But it's usually something big; something important.

[action]

[more_than_words]

(ooc: works for me. Tifa can find his body some time later)

Something big...?

Like memories?

[TEXT]

[zackthepuppy]

Oh hey, Tifa. Sorry I forgot to check in. Things got preeeetty busy. I'll come by later to help with the chocobos. And I thought I'd help fix the sound system.

[TEXT]

[more_than_words]

Really? That would be great!





I'm just glad you're all right, Zack.

It'll be good to see you.

[TEXT]

[zackthepuppy]

I'll be over in ten. I found some tools so I thought I'd finish up what we started the last time.

I'm fine. Just a little jittery, that's all. I'll see you soon. :)

[She needed to hear the answer to the question she hadn't asked and she relaxes a little, just a little, on her side of the PCD. He's all right. Or at least as much as can be expected considering. She'll need to see him with her own eyes to believe it entirely but -

that goofy little smiley face emote helps and, for the first time in a while, she realizes she's smiling.]

I'll have something warm to eat ready.



How are you are chocobo racing?

[TEXT]

[zackthepuppy]

That's great!

[He's only raced once in his youth but that was more for fun than for sport. He's been doing fantastic despite the circumstances and wants to share in his good cheer.]

Well, I've only raced for fun but never really took it up. I can definitely learn it. I think I'm a little big to be any good. Sounds like a blast!

[TEXT]

[more_than_words]

Good. I think the chocobos could use the exercise. [and Tifa could use the stress reliever. She's going to hand you your butt on a platter, Mr. Fair.] Don't worry. I'll teach you. It's a lot easier here than the Gold Saucer's course. I'll see you soon!

[TEXT]

[zackthepuppy]

I'm outside the Stadium now. See you in two shakes.

[He'll have a great time of it. He's good with many things but racing chocobos...isn't one of them.]

IC (event Letters from home Kunsel spam courtesty of Zack's contact list)

[useless_trivia]

If hurricanes are like women, then it's possible that men are like tornadoes.

[more_than_words]

[She - doesn't recognize that address.

And the message honestly makes no sense. She's unaware, yet, that messages being delivered aren't from anyone in the world she's currently in. So excuse her while she goes with the only cryptic talker she knows.]

Vincent?

(redirected to Zack)

[zackthepuppy]

What? No, this is Zack. Did you get one of those weird messages too?

[Voice]

[combatking]

So how've you been faring on the letter front? I've been receiving texts from people I dont even know, invoices an' heartfelt letters from people who shouldn't even know I'm here. This event os weird. And who is writin' these??

[more_than_words]

I guess I did. It was weird. Did you leave your PCD somewhere?

[Voice]

[more_than_words]

I have.

It's the who that's bothering me. These can't be from the people they say they are. Zell - can they?

[zackthepuppy]

No, but someone said that it might've been hacked. To be honest, I'm a little worried.

[action]

[dicey]

Yeah, definitely memories sometimes. Or skills, or powers.

Re: [Voice]

[combatking]

I.. really dunno. I've been tryin' to figure that out too.. like if they're actually from them an' if so what the hell did they say to 'em or if it's just some weird event where they make letters based off our memories've'em.

Either way.. I don't like this. It freaks me out that they could know we're trapped here.

[Voice]

[more_than_words]

[It's quiet on her end for a long time and then, softer:]

They can't know we're trapped here, can they? I mean, everyone says you forget when you go home and - that wouldn't work if people there remembered you'd been missing. It's... supposed to be like you never left, isn't it? So - for them, you'd still be there, wouldn't you?

[if she sounds like she's trying to reassure herself as well as him... it's because she is.]

[action]

[more_than_words]

[Tifa will frown at that, pausing in what she's doing for a moment as that sinks in. Then she'll look at the other girl.]

Have you - ever died here?

[more_than_words]

Worried?

What kinds of messages are being sent? More no sense ones like mine?
