Circuit 23 [Backdated to July 16th] First Death

[lfetimewarranty]

[The communicator clicks on. It's deliberate, but no sound comes out for a few moments.]

I have, for all intents and purposes, died.

[Blunt, and to the point.]

I am missing a necklace with a yellow gem on it, a purple long-sleeved shirt, some blue jeans, a pair of white socks, boots, and undergarments. The necklace I would like returned; the rest are

I -- Reffy -- what?

[Sulphur's tone is a mixture of total surprise and concern. This is the first time Rfena's died, and she doesn't quite know how to handle it.]

You're okay now, right? Right?

[lfetimewarranty]

[Reffy doesn't know quite how to handle it either! On one hand it wasn't as bad as she'd feared. On the other hand, she died.]

I am... fine, currently. Better than before, physically, you could say. [Since her arm is fixed and all.]

[atomic16]

How did it ... ?

[Sulphur trails off, unsure of how to ask the following question. She's aware that Reffy's more durable than most humans, so she's genuinely curious about how this happened, but ...

There's the sound of her door swinging open, clicking shut, then footsteps. Clothes-hunting!]

[Reffy feels that she can answer this question.]

A man who did not speak english assaulted me at Sergei's. He looked human, but was stronger than one. He tore off my bad arm and... incinerated me from the inside. It cut off my generator line, and I shut down.

[Her tone is oddly blank. She's not quite considering how this will effect Sulphur, either.]

Don't need ta' thank me, Sweetheart. It's what I do.

[lfetimewarranty]

I am sorry that the arm you made was lost. You could have used the other parts.

[standardpackage]

Don't apologize ta' me; yer th' one that died.

So did th' system just give ya back th' one ya' came with?

[lfetimewarranty]

Yes, but the situation is still regrettable. And yes, it did. I was restored to the state I was in when I arrived, I believe.
