"Huh ...."

Blonde, bedraggled hair fell lifelessly against a grubby cheek, its owner half sitting though nearly falling off the bench in front of the train station. Forearms rested atop thighs, left hand dangling between knees while fingers of the her right hand brushed across a flushed, heated forehead before drifting down past temples, cheeks and

[That wasn't a Chocochick squeak that you heard in reponse to the sudden voice coming out of the drone. Nope. Just Elena staring at the machine like it grew a second head.]

I'm on the way to the hospital. Its nothing major. [Lies! And you can hear it in her wheezy breathing and barely stifled cough.] Its good to hear a friendly voice, Rikku.

I'm gonna send out another drone, 'kay? You kinda came at... a weird time. Just be super-careful, yeah? I can come with the extra drone, actually. If you want, I mean.

[provenworth]

....Oh hell. What's going on?

[Pause.]

Depends on if you've gotten your vacination. I think I've got a serious cold...maybe phenomena. I don't know, but I'd rather not get you sick if at all possible. But an extra drone would be good..

Somehow, a huge jungle like, grew overnight? It's weird. I ain't going near it.

... Right maybe I'll just... end two drones.

[provenworth]

A jungle? So, there are no monsters or anything else?

That...sounds like a good idea... Say, Rufus hasn't disappeared in that thing, has he? How about Reno or 202 or Axel?

[chrysophilist]

Dunno, haven't gone in. Don't plan to, either!

Not that I've seen. I've been keeping an eye on the bossman for you.

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[provenworth]

I don't blame you. Better to watch from a distance before doing anything drastic. Like going in there.

I appreciate it. Its good to know somebody is keeping a close eye on him when I can't.

[chrysophilist]

For sure. I've been thinking about sending in a drone.

Yeah, I figured you'd want someone to.

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[provenworth]

That might be risky, you could lose the drone to whatever is going on in there. But better metallic eyes than flesh and blood ones?

Knowing Reno he was probably getting overwhelmed with the paperwork and so the only other person with as strong of contact with the President with the ability to watch him would be you. Thank you for watching over him.

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[chrysophilist]

For sure. I'll get one ready.

No problem! He behaved, for the most part.

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[provenworth]

Keep me updated, would you? I'm curious to know what's going on in there.

[PPpppaaauuussseee...Please ignore the coughing/hacking/wheezing.]

For the most part? He didn't give you any trouble, did he?

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[chrysophilist]

Sure will.

[it will not be ignored!!]

Not serious trouble, no. You okay?

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[provenworth]

Thanks again, Rikku.

[IIiggnnoorreeee Mmmmmeeeee!]

I'm fine, honest. What did he do?

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[chrysophilist]

[NEVAR]

You'll have to ask him that.

permavoice, encrypted [hacked]

[provenworth]

[Please??]

Oh, I will. You can count on that.
