Day 18 - - - Malta

[lacqualia]

Uh--Hello?! Anyone out there?

[She pauses, looking back at the device again to make sure it was even working. Red light? Does that mean a good thing? She makes a noise, as if shes about to speak again, but something's caught her attention.]

Ah! Hey there! Can you tell me--? [Her voice drifts, and she's noticing something strange. Then a gasp, and

Comments

/spittake!!!

[guardup]

[Static fizzed into Lightning's (rather urgent-sounding) voice. She recognized Vanille's voice within a matter of moments of the transmission. So, she was thrown into this mess of a world, too?]

Vanille--

[Damn, there was so much to tell her in so little time. Her magic most likely wasn't working, so that left...]

You've gotta stay ranged. These things aren't people- they're dangerous.

[Lightning had faith that the Pulse girl could handle her own against the once-human enemies... that is, if that was what she now faced.]

Let me know when you're in the clear.

THERE YOU ARE

[lacqualia]

--LIGHT? [A little moment of reassurance, and she's off running.]

[Screw fighting these things. Her delicate little pants are heard throughout the fumbling of her transmission. Her grip is locked down hard on that walkie talkie. Throughout brief moments, the strangled noises of infected crying after her are picked up by her feed. She skids across the asphalt, grabs hold of the nearest door and yanks it open. The transmission cuts.]

[A few minutes later, it clicks back on.]

Alright....[A pause for breathing] I-I think it's gone!

i probably shouldn't be tagging at 2am, but whatever

[guardup]

[Lightning waited silently, intently listening in on Vanille's situation. So she was running. That worked. It was probably the safest course of action, despite not knowing where she was.]

Good.

[She finally answered. And Lightning had then realized just how little she really knew. About this place and everything in it... With a harsh sigh, she goes on. One thing at a time...]

Listen to me, Vanille. Those things are all over the place. Don't let your guard down.

its coo, you can come back at any time if you need to sleep

[lacqualia]

Alright.. [She's still unsure, if she'd done the right thing or if she could keep it up.]

Where are we? ...This doesn't look anything like Gran Pulse.

[limitedrun]

OW. Jesus Christ, lady, you could at least turn the radio off before screaming bloody murder. It's not like that's gonna help.

Bash its head in.

[lacqualia]

Well sorry! I was kinda distracted...

[you know...not being mauled.]

[limitedrun]

And you thinking hollering like that is going to do you any favors? The corpses? They can hear, actually.

[lacqualia]

Why are you picking on me? I just got here!

[itselegant]

You okay?

[he sounds p. urgent. but not so much that she could be dead. Robert knows those screams, too, and that wasn't it.]

[lacqualia]

Yyyup! That was close! [She's trying to brush it off a little.]

[itselegant]

Are you in a safe place?

[lacqualia]

Mm..I think so. I seems pretty empty, and nothings popped out yet!

[justhitjackpot]

[Travis winces and shoves a finger in his ear when she screams. Ow. Next time, he won't keep that thing so close to his face.]

Yo. You still alive over there?

[lacqualia]

Yup, alright here!

[justhitjackpot]

Keep some kinda weapon around from now on. Something you can lob their heads off with.

[lacqualia]

Mm, I don't know if mine can do just that...but I got it. Big mean weapon, stay away from anything that runs at you--including the ELVIRA, get a map, and dont dig yourself a hole. Get good cover and wait for help!
