...I... I think everyone's back to normal.

[Her voice is weak and tired.]

I am. For some Mayfield-ish value of 'normal'....

And... paper boys deliver the newspaper. Right?

[miraculls]

You okay? Shit, you sound all sorts of strung out.

Uhhh...what's a motherfuckin' newspaper supposed to all be again?

[duck_duck_laser]

I am all sorts of strung out. [She groans.] I should maybe call everyone, and apologize if I broke anything of theirs. Or worse.

[She was trying to be funny, trying to append a 'heh' at the end, but... no, it wasn't quite working.

The paperboy business was something nice and distracting.]

It's... paper. With news on it? Newspaper. Primitive, but... well. Mayfield. There you go.

[miraculls]

[He laughs anyway.] Aww, it's cool, sister. I'm sure everyone'll all get their understand on.

...so I'm supposed to be chucking it at starmonkeys in the morning? I don't really get it.

Cranes are made of paper, Little Oni. But not boys....

[A pause while she tries to remember what boys are made of.]

Boys are blood. Blood and flesh and bone.....

[miraculls]

Whoooooa, I ain't ever seen a paper wingbeast before.

And yeah, mine's indigo, honk! Also miracles.

[lonelyremnant]

.... I have never seen a miracle.

[She sounds kind of sad about that.]

But if you have a thousand paper cranes, you'll be granted any wish.

[miraculls]

Shit, sister, miracles are all around us everywhere you look! Like...how we talking over this motherfuckin' audio hook? Miracle.

Really? Then we gotta all what start catching them motherfuckers! I dunno what I'd wish for though, I ain't really got anything I'm all wanting right now. How about you?
