Hope? Hope, it's Lightning- listen, I don't what happened, but I remember everything now. You were right about Cocoon. We... completed our Focus after all. Fang and Vanille-

(She pauses; hesitates.)

... Everything okay on your end? By the looks of things, I've been gone for a while.

Light!

[Hold on, he's going to be extra careful not to drop his phone in the water, so there might be some fumbling noises.]

Light, you're back-- I tried to look for you, but I couldn't get really far in the blizzard and then Jaime and Elaine were outside and they really needed to be taken to the hospital, and Snow showed up and people were saying that there were a lot more people who disappeared, but then all the snow melted and it just flooded everywhere and even more people showed up, and--

[Ignore all of that, the important thing is the undertone of relief. He's really, really glad you're back.]

(Is that a... chuckle on her end?)

Hey, it's okay. I'm alright. Sounds like you are, too.

(A beat.)

Sorry for the scare. I still don't know what happened. I got assigned to a new house- took me a while to find it.

Think this place has gotten bigger than before.

It's okay, I just--

[Okay, there's that breath.]

I'm really glad you're back.

For better or worse.

(She adds a dash of sarcasm on that one, but she's smiling.)

How's the brand?

escapedpandora March 6 2011, 07:46:04 UTC

It's-- it's the same. Hasn't changed at all.

Has yours--?

guardup March 6 2011, 08:06:42 UTC

It looks like yours. Scorched. At least our stories match up, now.

(But! Growing a little more serious here.)

How long... have I been gone, Hope? What did I miss?

escapedpandora March 6 2011, 09:52:29 UTC

It's--

[He relaxes a little. That was good news. Better news than what he'd been dreading, at least.]

About a week now. [There's a pause as he thinks about this quiet seriously.] I'm pretty sure the town's going to flood soon unless it stops raining. We had... a lot of snow.

(She's quiet, taking in the info. A week? That bothers her a bit.)

Are the stores in bad shape?

escapedpandora March 6 2011, 20:33:43 UTC

Actually, I think they're okay. It's just that they're closed and I can't seem to break into them no matter what I do. Rocks to the window doesn't seem to work at all.

So no one's been able to get more supplies the last few days, either.
