[The voice is at first not Vincent's, but a young girl's; cheerful and buoyant.]

Hi! This is Vince's phone, leave a message okay?

[And then Vincent's voice in the distance:] Pino, what are you--?

[call - ten minutes after the earthquake]

[Pick up the phone, Vincent, or I swear to God-]

[Someone has ducked under his kitchen table, but thankfully the Tower Apartments are made to stand up to such things. Still seconds after the shaking stops it's Pino he contacts first, and without even really thinking about it. Perhaps it's her calling him, but either way he knows the AutoReiv is all right.

Re-l is another matter, but he's relieved to see the call when it comes.]

Re-l? [dazed]

[call back ]

[proxysearch]

Oh...good, you're okay.

[She exhales slowly, a little painfully. She's dislocated her shoulder but she'll deal with that in a minute. Her other hand is just fine.]

Are you hurt?

[call back ]

[thereforeproxy]

No. [C'mon Re-l a building falling on the guy wouldn't scratch him. :|] But are you?

[call back ]

[proxysearch]

[She still worries.] Yes, I'm fine. Have you gotten a hold of Pino yet, or-

[call back ]

[thereforeproxy]

Ah. She's all right. She called me or I called her but, I have yet to speak directly to her.

[call back ]

[proxysearch]

[Not making sense, Proxy boy.]

So long as she's okay, then that's fine.

[call back ]

[thereforeproxy]

[It's hard to explain! D:]

I'll call her but, is there anything you need?

[call back ]

[proxysearch]

I'm okay. I'm stuck somewhere but I'll get out in a while, once my head stops ringing.

[call back ]

[thereforeproxy]

What? [He jumps up, dropping the NV.

...and we both know how fast this boy can move Re-l. D:]
