[Morning, Discedo. Hope you weren't enjoying the silence too much ... there's a sudden, loud zap, all too familiar, followed by Chie's startled gasp:] Ahh! Sheesh, that hurt ...

[A long sigh - getting zapped is getting pretty tiresome, actually.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be out on patrol most of the day.

There you are.

[skullcracking]

Hey, Yukari! I heard you were back. [from yousuke, no doubt.]

[yukarchery]

You heard right. How's it going, Chie?

[skullcracking]

Oh, I'm doing OK! Finally done with being sick. [more or less done with being traumatized over the goings-on of the past few weeks.] How about you? Are you settling back in OK?

[unbearable_puns]

Chie-chan, are you okay? Did the blueberry bite you too?

[skullcracking]

Blueb-

[orz teddie what are you even]

Yeah, I'm OK, Teddie. [she's pretty much used to it by now] Just forgot to use this thing for a while there.

[unbearable_puns]

[ A bear, duh. All bears are like this.]

Oh. Don't forget next time then?

[skullcracking]

[good thing it's not video. chie has to take a minute to squint and rub at her forehead.]

... I'll keep that in mind, Teddie.

[juuustice]

Patrol? Are you some sort of hero or guard?

[skullcracking]

Ha, me? A hero? That's ... [well she'd like to be, anyway.] Um, yeah, I'm on the Latimir Guard, and I was on the police force, before. So I've just kept up with that, I guess.

I'm Chie Satonaka. What's your name?

[snipers_shot]

...Good ta have ya back.

[skullcracking]

Yo, Grit! It's good to be back! Finally ...

[snipers_shot]

Was gettin' worried ya'd be off the force forever, Chie. Ya worried me.

[skullcracking]

Aw, don't worry about me, Grit! Takes more than being a little sick to keep me down for good!

[even if she was more than "a little" sick ... ]
