[ Everything is relatively quiet-- well, as quiet as it can be in this situation. There's the sound of faint footsteps. A pause. ]

CRASH.

[ ... except it's not her who made the noise, but instead a couple of aliens crashing into a few tables right next to her. ]

This is kind of dangerous. It doesn't happen a lot, does it?

Weird stuff seems to happen now and then, but this is the first time the lights have all gone out.

[howsketchy]

Hmm. Well, it could be worse.

[mostlydim]

Heh, yeah, it could always be worse. It would be nice if we could actually make light like usual though.

[howsketchy]

Not even fires work, do they?

[mostlydim]

That's the weird thing. Stuff still burns, like a match, but you can't see the light. But the heat is still there.

[yeah, he totally burnt himself on a match earlier]

[howsketchy]

So it's really not just an electrical thing.

[mostlydim]

Nope. Can't say I have any idea what sort of thing it is either. Hopefully it won't last long.

[howsketchy]

I heard that someone was attacking people earlier.
