Eiko has a melty Isis and forever and a day to stop that, "I don't know, I just suddenly got a headache about something, and I don't know what." The confusion's pretty evident in her voice and general body language.
"Aww," Eiko says, bending down to kiss her head. "Poor dear. Maybe you should take a-eerk!" Eiko and Isis both feel it at once, a disconnection, and as it happens, their PINpoints beep, and go dark.
The next thing they hear is Beast's voice from the PINpoint:
"Incoming high-probability resonic activity. Danger level is extreme. All links are being cut until danger level becomes acceptable. Full emergency download to backups has occured. There will be no further activity until danger level is acceptable. Message repeats."
Eiko stares at the PINpoint, and then goes, "....oh boy."
Isis jumps slightly when it happens. The link, suddenly being gone like that. It's one thing that she started to take for granted of its presence. The fact that it meant that Eiko was always there, a thought and contact away.
Isis blinks, "Resonic activity? The Nexus?" Isis glances at Eiko, "What just happened?"
Coupled with the headache she's got--although not as bad as the last one of this nature--she suspects she already knows the answer.
"It means.. something weird has happened to the Nexus. Something's screwing with reality-as-we-know-it. Beast used protection modes to lock us out, make sure nothing happened to any of us." She shivers. "We're probably going to need new ones when it's done with." She moves around to sit down at the corner of the table, taking Isis's hand. "We're stuck, pretty much."
Eiko is wearing a baggy shirt, but Isis knows she's just starting to show a little. (Which may be why Beast is so absolutely hairtrigger about this.)
Well, Mistress's health and body above all, and we can't have time fucking with things when Eiko's already outside of time in some senses of it as it is. "That.. makes sense." A small sigh, "I suspected that's what it was, since my head was throbbing a bit like the last time something like this happened." Isis brushes a bit of her hair out of her face.
"..I'm sure Professor Snape will understand." Although Isis does shift to sit closer to Eiko, to lean on her a little and be reassuring for the both of them (and to have another measure of closeness, when one of their ways of it has been taken away so abruptly). She threads her fingers through Eiko's, squeezing her wife's hand a little.
"..A question, however. Occurs to me. Do we have any way of observing what's happening, so we know when it's passed?"
