[Arthur's new and improved communicator is sitting in his cabin after his old one got destroyed by a tornado in the CES, taking a nice shot of his... door. There's no Arthur in sight. This plays for about a minute, then there's a thud and Arthur swings the door open. He's looking... like he just survived a zombie apocalypse. His clothes are

[Someone is probably in a similar state, as he was being dragged around the CES unconscious.]

Me too, Sport. Me too.

[paradoxlol]

I didn't see you out there. What happened?

[Private]

[most_feared]

I figured out where the fuck the douchebag was, made it to Narvin's room to get his help and organize some people, next thing I know I'm in the damned CES and everything is all over with.

[Private]

[paradoxlol]

Damn it.

I would've loved to get my hands on him.

Private

[ourlastbesthope]

Yes.

[Pause. He sounds very...dazed.]

I might need help.

[Another pause.]

If you have a minute.

[Longer pause.]

Or four.

Private

[paradoxlol]

Where are you?

Private

[ourlastbesthope]

I d- oh, yes I do. My cabin. The door's unlocked.

[Arthur hasn't even had a chance to change clothes yet, so he just busts into Capa's room shirtless and filthy, enjoy that.]

Capa. Hey. [He rushes over to him.] What the hell happened?

[Dick looks exhausted, and there's a cut on his cheek, and he might be wearing something that looks a little like fancy body armor because lol he has not had time to change. BUT he manages a smile because lol he thought you were dead for a while there buddy. :|]

I think I should be asking you the same question.

[paradoxlol]

[Luckily, Arthur's too classy to comment on your costume, bro. He looks relieved to see that Dick's not maimed or badly injured.]

I'm fine. Just had to fight off mother nature for a few days.

[Private] LOL WHOOPS all private this is what I get for juggling 9000 things

[batmanschmatman]

[The only one who's even really acknowledged it was John when he first changed so. Guess no one really cares one way or another. c:]

I'm just glad you're alive. I was a little concerned when no one knew where you were.

[Private] YES, ALL PRIVATE

[paradoxlol]

Yeah, a tornado took my communicator, if you can believe it. I had no idea who was alive or what was going on.

Private

[hatestriangles]

Not much. [This isn't video though, or else Arthur would be able to see the cuts around his eyes and the bruising, scrapes and scratches everywhere else. He sounds tired as hell.]

Private

[paradoxlol]

Not much? What'd you get up to while I was out?

Private

[hatestriangles]

[He's... kind of feeling a bit awkward about telling Arthur that he was actually good and tried to help people out. So instead:] I didn't make a deal with that sonofabitch like some people did.

Private

[paradoxlol]

Smart move. Something tells me he wouldn't have followed through.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

I'm all right, thank god. Had a few close calls, though. [She looks a bit tired and beat up as well - a scratch on her cheek and a bruise on her collar bone.]

Where were you? I was worried.

[Private]

[paradoxlol]

What happened?

[Arthur runs a hand through his hair to push it back.] I was in the CES. My communicator got wrecked, so I couldn't contact anyone. I haven't even had a chance to check out what I missed yet.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

We had to find the Admiral.

How badly are you hurt? You should go to the infirmary.

[Private]

[paradoxlol]

Looks like you found trouble along the way.

Just some scrapes and bruises. I'll be fine.
