[it's early evening, just before the sun goes down. Not that you'd know it - it's cloudy today. Fitting, almost, for the start of another week.

When Mia 'wakes up,' it isn't very much like being awake. Things are blurred and moving slowly. It takes her a full five minutes to register that she has no shoes on, and that her legs are in the river up to

[boomchucka]

Mia? Are you okay?

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

[Ah. A voice she can recognize.]

I'm...not sure. So that is probably a 'no.'

[Voice]

[boomchucka]

Is there someone coming to find you? I can keep you company through the journal until then if you'd like.

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

[coming to find her? Selphie is the first voice she's heard...]

Are you well, Selphie? [thinking about that might get rid of the sick feeling. ...If she can think about it for long enough.]

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Mia? ...Are you hurt?

[The question comes out without too much thinking, but in an instant, Adell's tone becomes much more determined and serious. Of course she is, why would she need to heal if she wasn't?]

Can you describe what's around you? I'm going to come find you.

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

I'm... [actually she's not sure. Things hurt but the world is so difficult to feel right now.]

All I know is I'm near a river. [or, in one.]

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

River. Okay. That's all I needed to know! I'll be out there looking right away. I'll keep the journal with me, keep talking to me, Mia. If you find something else, tell me, okay?

[And there are noises of him getting up and moving. And wind whipping past the pages as he gets outside and starts out at a dead run.]

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

Find something? I am not going anywhere.

['Don't move' is the first thing she would tell someone else, after all.]

[onebluebamf]

Mia...! Can you see anything?

[He'll 'port all over the forest if he has to, but the sooner he can find her the better.]

[frost_jewel]

[She can make out a few things.]

A river...but nothing else notable. [the only reason she really knows about the river is because she's half in it. She's too drugged to get much else.]

[onebluebamf]

The river... okay, Mia. Just hold on, yeah? I'll find you.

[He can scour the river in no time. The first thing he does is grab a blanket, stuff a granola bar in his pocket, and grab some bottled water. After that he'll be porting on his roof, still keeping his journal open.]

[frost_jewel]

I don't...think I'm in any danger, Kurt.

[he doesn't need to worry so much. ...Well, okay, maybe he does, but she doesn't understand why yet.]

[dangerouswind]

Much as I appreciate that fact that you're a little lost, it always helps to give at least a landmark or two if you want found.

[frost_jewel]

[A little drugged, is more like it. She did enough exploring in the beginning that she'd probably be able to get back, were she coherent.]

I don't...know if there are any. It is difficult to tell.

[dangerouswind]

It's just a matter of looking around and telling me what you see. Not that hard.

[frost_jewel]

My vision is affected, somehow. I can't distinguish anything more than a few feet away.

[Voice]

[coolstempers]

[And Piers knows that from the sound of that, Mia isn't all right so he's not going to even bother asking. But he can see some have already responded so the question more is, has anyone found her yet.]

Mia, has anyone found you yet and do you still need someone who can heal you?

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

Piers. ...It's good to hear from you.

[trouble concentrating?]

[Voice]

[coolstempers]

[He'd already somewhat guessed that since that is about the only reason why Mia would be unable to heal herself. But that answers the question of needing healing, because she obviously still needs it.]

It is good you have returned. I was very worried when I found you were missing.

[Voice]

[frost_jewel]

[Found her missing. Right. He would have been the first to know, wouldn't he?]

How long have I been missing?
