[BACKDATED TO DURING THE ZOMBIE MERMAID EVENT. Far earlier in the week.]
[The sound of running and the fumbling of buttons on the SFC. Saya curses under her breath once and there's some mumbling before the sound of gunshots. Bang! Bang! The last of her ammo. She struggles a bit, but then she's off running again.]
Matthew! You need to- [She's cut off and there's the sound of a door being opened before slamming shut. A soft thud as she slams her back up against it. There's scratching from the other side of the door and as she fumbles with a few more buttons, the video function clicks on.
She's bleeding and rather badly at that. Her eyes are unfocused and darting every which way, considering every possible way of escape. A click as she fiddles with the lock of the door. Her words come quickly before she needs to pause for breath.]
Listen. Don't come after me, idiot. And anyone else paying attention- if you see that red-cloaked moron, catch him. Catch him and remind him that it's not worth it. [Some more grumbling. "I'm not worth it." But it's almost completely unintelligible. There's more thuds as zombies fight against the door and she rushes to the window. If she jumped she'd be jumping out into a hoard of zombies-
Now, she gives the SFC her full attention. Her eyes make it clear that she's terrified, and maybe the tears are starting to well up. She doesn't want to die again, she doesn't want to- yet here she is. Might as well go out smiling.]
.... Sorry for being stubborn. It's been fun. [a pause] Take care.
[Another thud of the door and it gives away-
click!]
