Hi, Deputy Pratt! Did you weather the storm with no problems?

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Someone checking up on him? Out of the kindness of their heart? This is unheard of and a little suspicious. Still, he's glad to hear from her. Sometimes he forgets that talking to people isn't awful.]

So far so good. A little flooding but I think I got most of the water out now.

Trying to air the place out, everything smells musty.

How about you?

[unphase]

[why wouldn't she check in with him? it's been a long storm]

I hope that it all goes well.

And I'm fine. I got accepted as a Junior Guard member, so I was there to help the new people get to safety. The monsters were a lot worse than the ones that came in with me.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Hey you're an official officer now! Congrats!

What were they this time? I didn't get to the colosseum, I was trying to stormproof my windows.

[she looks and sounds uncertain]

Pratt? Is it okay if I talk to you about something kind of . . . personal?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Uh, sure. What's up?

[Someone wanting to confide in him? This can't be right. She must have the wrong number.]

[unphase]

[no, she doesn't have the wrong number. she has the exact right number]

It's about me. . . and my boyfriend. I'm kind of wondering about it. If we took things too fast.

[missiondeterminant]

Where are you?

[Also hello, but that's a waste of time when there's a mission to accomplish.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[missiondeterminant]

Did one of the creatures here destroy it?

[nonscriptum]

i hate to rip you from your soup hoard but getting fresh air might do you good

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Carlisle squints at his device. He just said that, didn't? Yes, yes he did.]

Yes.

You will have to remind me where it is you are residing these days.

[Professionalism is not his strong suit, but Nate does his damnedest to scribe a boiler plate write-up that reads like something he might have issued from his office at the marine salvage company, as opposed to his usual informality.]

I'm heading up an expedition to the foothills of the mountain range in the next few days and looking for people with experience in excavation, long-term exploration, combat, and magic. I'm reaching out to you because I know you're proficient in at least one of these things, if not more, and I'm going to need all the help I can get.

It's a week out to the mountain range, maybe longer, and when we get there the intent is to locate and gain access to a bunker. With any luck we can learn something about this world we didn’t know before, and use it to our advantage.

This trip will be at least two weeks long. The weather is turning, snow is getting thick, and the temperatures will consistently be somewhere around freezing. Parts of this will suck. If you're interested, I need to know what you specifically can bring to the table in terms of survival and resources. Everyone's going to have to pitch in for shelter, food, and keeping watch, because we don't know what's out there.

Let me know as soon as you can. We leave at the first of the month.

[unphase]

So, how did it all go?

Video

[theweakhavepurpose]

Not good at all.

Well, we got a lot of information but it's all terrible.

[she sighs]

I heard about some of it . . . but I don't know those people.

[apropos of nothing in particular, but maybe the Speak Your Truth event]

I love you. I would do whatever it takes to see you happy.

Re: Video

[theweakhavepurpose]

I .. what?

Are you okay?

[Probably not the response she expected.]

Re: Video

[unphase]

Yes, of course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?
