Day 12?? // aftermath

[destructoplush]

[Shiki's voice is rough and exhausted; it's obvious that she's been crying, although she's pretty much cried out at this point. Still, she's not well; she sounds trembly and somewhat fragile when she speaks.]

I want a phone. I want my phone call. I want my mom.

[ohsotraumatic]

Shiki, I don't think we can give you one right now.

[destructoplush]

You don't have to give me one, I just want to use one!

[ohsotraumatic]

You need to calm down.

And we can't give you a phone call until everything's figured out from the lock down.

[destructoplush]

How much can there possibly be to get figured out?!

[mentis_reae]

That's all?

[destructoplush]

[A nasty sniff, ew, sorry.] What do you mean, that's all?

[mentis_reae]

A phone call would satisfy you?

[destructoplush]

I want to talk to my mom. It's been weeks and weeks. I need to talk to her.

[cunchu]

Why do you need her, aru?

[destructoplush]

I miss her and I haven't talked to her in weeks and I want to hear her!

[cunchu]

... You miss your mother that much?

[destructoplush]

...I don't know if I'll ever see her again. I at least want to hear her.

[itsforresearch]

The thing is, using a phone is impossible right now.

[destructoplush]

Why?

[itsforresearch]

Because at the moment there is no service. The storm knocked out the lines.

[destructoplush]

When are they gonna be back?

[namiwashere]

[Hey there room cell mate. Sorry we've not talked much.]

Shiki...

[She's a ball in her bed on the other side of the room, but getting up, leg wrapped]

Shiki... hey, you alright?

[destructoplush]

[Woah, derp, didn't realize they WERE roommates! Hi thar, Nami. *^* This one is just kind of curled up on her bed, knees tucked to her chest.]

Yeah... I just really, really wish I was home right now...
