[[Late Day 54]]

[cop_for_one_day]

Hey, was thinking it'd be a good idea to get some kind of head count around here.

I also just got recently dumped here, so it'd be good to get to know the names of the people I'm stuck here with.

[There's a breathed laugh as soon as the recording starts.]

I'll tell you as long as you promise you won't freak out.

[voice | private]

[cop_for_one_day]

[That phrase... worries him.]

Fine.

[He thinks he already has a guess at what happened, vaguely, but that doesn't make him like it any more.]

[twochoices]

Well... the Order here worships a female god... apparently they needed a host, and being the only female out of puberty here, I got the black sludge forced down my throat.

But it wasn't anything like Las Plagas besides the fact that it out of nowhere took over. Half the time I barely even knew it was there.

[cop_for_one_day]

[He seems to take that rather well, since it was at least better than the horror he had conjured up in his mind. Then, quietly] I thought it was something like what happened to Sherry. A god, huh?

I know you an handle yourself, but stick with other people as much as possible, 'kay? It's not like you want anything like that to happen again.

['Or worse' goes unspoken.]

[twochoices]

That's the thing... They came right into the hotel out of nowhere and overpowered a couple of us. That was the first time that ever happened, so we weren't expecting it.

[She lets out a tired sigh.]

They've got a lot of advantages on their side. Including numbers. We've taken out loads of them and it just isn't enough.

[cop_for_one_day]

Have we got any kind of night watch set up, then? Better than nothin'.

[twochoices]

I was trying to see who would be up for it, but then that thing-- ... well, you know.

[cop_for_one_day]

Yeah, I get it.

Well, I'll do it for the time being. I saw Riku wandering around late, too, should see if he'll swap out for me once in awhile.

[twochoices]

I'm sure he would. Edward already offered too, and you know I will.

[cop_for_one_day]

Cool, that makes four.

[a pause]

You're not still suffering from blood loss or anything, are you?

[twochoices]

[There's a short laugh from her end.]

No. I'm good as new.

[cop_for_one_day]

...

Damn, that's messed up.

But I'm glad you're back.

[twochoices]

I'm certainly not complaining.

[There's a pause.]

How are you holding up?

[cop_for_one_day]

I'm not, either. Just... shit like that isn't supposed to happen.

Hanging in there. [vague answer is vague]

[twochoices]

Good to hear.

[There's a creaking sound as she sits back on her bed.]

[cop_for_one_day]

You?
