Alex, Toph, Shepard, Kevas.

[There's a brief pause.]

Chloe's asking after Sollux, even though I already saw you post, and Jack, Talia, Bobby, Xanth, and Kairi.

You okay?

[There's a muffled voice that sounds like Chloe protesting, then the audio clicks off. Derek's still watching the journals, though, and will answer.]

You two stay where you are and don't come out till we know what's going on.

[Audio]

[sociopathicwolf]

That's the plan. We're holing up until things settle down.

You taking care?

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

Good.

I need to find others and figure out just what the hell is going on here.

[Audio]

[sociopathicwolf]

Be careful.

[He pauses.]

Careful as you can be in whatever this crap is.

[drinkuntilidie]

Worry about yourself before you start worrying about me. I know what I'm doing.

[Audio]

[sociopathicwolf]

Don't have to tell me twice.

I'm sure Chloe will worry about you enough for the both of us anyway.

Yes. Please be careful, Kevas.

If you need anything...

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

I'll be fine.

What I need you to do is stay put and stay safe.

I plan on it. Don't worry about me. I'm sure you have many other things on your plate already.
