Voice 01 → Kitten in a Tree.

[insorrow]

[The voice feed cuts in, but for a moment there's nothing to hear. Just the sound of rustling leaves and branches, and the whip of wind, and someone cursing softly and indistinctly under their breath as they attempt to grapple with the not-Dreamberry thing.

[Then a voice. Young, male, a little panicked.]Uh, hello? Can anybody hear me

Comments

[unfearful]

Are you all right?

[insorrow]

Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine. Well, as long as I don't try to move much. I'm just... a bit stuck.

How about you? You're not anywhere dangerous, right?

[unfearful]

I guess so, though I'm not sure if anywhere is safe anymore.

[insorrow]

Well, that's something. As long as you're okay.

Is it really that bad down there? Maybe I should just stay put.

[unfearful]

Well, it's difficult to tell the exact situation, but you'd probably be better off staying up there.

[insorrow]

[Oh boy. That does not sound at all good. A note of worry creeps into Ken's voice as he speaks.]

Oh... are you gonna be all right down there? You can defend yourself okay, right?

[unfearful]

Yeah, I'll be fine. It's others I'm worried about.

[Namely, one Anemone.]

[insorrow]

Well, I hope you can find them.

[Ken hesitates for a moment, one hand still on the trigger of the walkie-talkie. For a moment nothing much can be heard save the wind in the trees.]

Have you tried calling them? Or... that's not very private right now so what about texting? I think we can still text on these things.
