[Violet's PCD flicks on, the first time she's been on the network, in touch with anyone in about twenty four hours.]

Everyone needs to be careful scavenging for food. A lot of these buildings are even more unstable than they used to be, thanks to fire damage.

[She sounds ragged, subdued.]

You're not afraid of fire, are you, Violet?

[This is really just a roundabout way of asking something entirely different.]

[Video]

[effyourcupcake]

[She looks up at him, and something is different. It's amazing, what belief can mean. She takes a second to answer;]

Fire? Afraid? How totally illogical.

[Video]

[abrotherlikeyou]

[Just as snarky] Oh, yes, logic. The cornerstone of human behavior.

[Video]

[effyourcupcake]

Don't you know it.

[It helps, even though she's still shaken.]

[eightshoutpoles]

Hey, you.

[it's Vriska's voice, but she's off-screen]

[she tosses something at her PCD; it hits the screen and falls to the ground in front of it, revealing itself to be a pack of cigarettes]

Want it?

[Vriska's life: do things that piss off or upset people (either on purpose, or by accident), and then, occasionally, try to make up for it in her own awkward way]

[video]

[effyourcupcake]

Hey.

[Sheepish, looking up at the camera.]

Sorry for telling you to fuck off. And, uh- everything.

[There were a lot of insults.]

[video]

[eightshoutpoles]

[she shrugs]

Whatever; I didn't really care. I don't even get why humans are so insulted by that stuff; I tell people to fuck off all the time!

Do you want the gross smokey cigarette-sticks or not?

[video]

[effyourcupcake]

Definitely. Where did you find them?

[the_noble_black]

Did you get hurt?

[He sounds very much the same.]

[Video]

[effyourcupcake]

No.

[She says, sounding utterly perplexed- before glancing up at him.]

You did though, right? I couldn't get in touch.

[Video]

[the_noble_black]

I- yes.

[He's not sure how much he should really say.]

[Video]

[effyourcupcake]

I'm sorry. I narked on you to Severus when I didn't hear from you.

[magicxmarker]

((I am so late, sorry D: ))

H-hey!

[Someone else sounds a little ragged, but Hanna is trying to be optimistic and happy for her. Nothing like draining your body of magic when there is work to be done.]

You keeping out of trouble?

[effyourcupcake]

No. You?

[magicxmarker]

Well at least you're honest.

And Yeah, actually...I am. Give me a few days and I'll totally be running around again though. Maybe we can go do dangerous things together. It never hurts to have a buddy when you're doing stupid shit, right?

[effyourcupcake]

I don't know, Hanna.
