So I guess once wasn't enough was it?

[Sigh.]

My other one is missing, so is this journal thing our new communicators?

Zee can you see this? Can you find Jael and stay with her until I find you guys?

[There's a break in the text.]

Hello? Anybody out there? I'll take anyone at this point. Even you, Jinx.

Comments

[Audio]

[madteos]

Yeah. Which is why I'm little surprised to be here. I thought everything was gone. Everything, but the Shore.

[Audio]

[snowtop]

Y...Yeah.

Th-there're-- s-some of us here, th-though. Like-- n-not a-- not lot, b-but, e-enough. M-Me, I-- Ironhide, K-Kevas... s-some other people too, I, I-I think, b-but I'm... not sure wh-- who.

[Xanth sighs.]

N...No Jinx, th-though. He's... n-not here.

[Audio]

[madteos]

[Kevas he recognizes. Ironhide he's only heard of. He's already contacted Jael. There's only two people left.]

Anyone named Joe or Zee around?

[Audio]

[snowtop]

[Xanth thinks hard about this one, and he makes a noise of thought into the book.]

I... I-I think there's a-- a-a Joe, b-but I don't know if-- i-it's the... the Joe y-you want. A-And I... I haven't heard a-- a Zee, e-either.

S... Sorry.

[Audio]

[madteos]

It's okay.

[It has to be okay. No other choice.]

So it's really happened again. Are we really going home or is this Deior guy full of hot air?

[Audio]

[snowtop]

I-- I-I don't know. W-We're not... told a-a lot.

[He manages a weak laugh.]

J--Just like-- l-like home, huh?

[Audio]

[madteos]

Guess I should've expected that.

[Heh.]

It's a little scary actually.

[Audio]

[snowtop]

Y...Yeah.

Just-- s-so you-- so you know, i-if you... h-haven't found your t-tattoo yet-- it's-- n-not really harmful. J-Just, sur-- surprising.

Re: [Audio]

[madteos]

[...Tattoo...]

What...

[Oh there it is. How is it on his circuitry?]

What is going on.

[This is more to himself than to Xanth. But Xanth is more than welcomed to answer.]

[Audio]

[snowtop]

I--I-I don't know that, e--either. S--Sorry.

[He pauses, shifting where he sits and setting the journal aside. His voice might sound just a little more distant.]

H-Have you-- found a-anyone else? Th--that you kn-know?

[Audio]

[madteos]

Yeah. My girlfriend's here.

[He's relieved about that.]

[Audio]

[snowtop]

[Lucky.]

O--Okay. G-Good.

I'll-- k-keep an eye out. G--Good luck.
