[The audio turns on just in time to catch the communicator hitting the floor with a hollow 'clunk'.  And as if from a distance...]

Hey, that's where it was.

[His voice is chipper, but breathy and soft, as if he is trying to exert as little energy in speaking as possible.  There is rustling, and the shifting of blankets as a certain blonde brat who is

So you're alive.

/BOOTS THE FUCK OFF

[acreepybrat]

Uh, yeah. [Sounds kind of puzzled.] I'm fine.

/crais YOU TOO, WOMAN

[guns_n_cocoa]

Did one of the crazies kick your ass?

[acreepybrat]

Eh, that's kind of a weird thing to ask, isn't it?

[guns_n_cocoa]

Not when you consider the fact a large portion of the city went berserk for a few days and last I saw you, you looked in pretty bad shape. It doesn't exactly take a genius to put two and two together.

[acreepybrat]

Oh yeah, it's kind of blurry, but I remember that...

...huh? Last time you saw me. What are you talking about? I was too out of it haven't really gone on the network lately.

[guns_n_cocoa]

Accidental video, from the looks of it.

So how are you holding up, kid?

[acreepybrat]

...Really? [Aaaand flipping back now, looking into older entries on the network.]

[....] [I don't remember that point where she stopped, or I blacked out. I didn't think that it would...]

Wow, I didn't know that it did things like that! Except I guess there was that one time it turned on by itself, huh. Maybe this happens often? Eh, it looks a lot worse than it actually is. I've been doing fine!

[guns_n_cocoa]

It's an inanimate electronic device. It doesn't turn on by itself if you know how to use it.

Which apparently a lot of people around here don't.

[Not questioning you even if you still sound like crap. Pretend you're fine if you want Oz, he doesn't care that much :| ]

[acreepybrat]

[Good. :| He'd prefer people not call him out on it anyway-- doesn't want them to worry, which Mello presumably isn't.]

Mine's definitely done it before. It was just sitting on the counter and suddenly the video went on! Pretty cool, huh? Wonder if that means it's broken.

[Shrug... then an inaudible wince.]

[guns_n_cocoa]

[No... he really isn't. lol ]

Might be broken, or it might be that the scientists can control them indirectly. Either way it didn't turn on "on its own".

[crunch, and a soft snicker]

Should you really be up, kid? Won't your babysitter get mad?

[acreepybrat]

Eh, but why would they bother? I was just reading, and it's not like that's a big deal or anything.

Gil worries a lot-- but I'm okay.
