[a bit of shuffling around is heard when the mic clicks on, followed by a slightly cold-hoarse voice]

Ah....Door? De Carabas? I'm back now, from....whatever that was. You know, just in case either of you were wondering. And....I never, ever, want to do that again.

Ever.

[more shuffling, muttering, the sounds of various items being moved around. then ( Read more... )

....you didn't need to get me anything, Door. But....thank you. Really. We'll have to have some later.

Do you know where the lens came from, though?

Apparently I'm 26 today. ....I didn't actually realize that until just now.

....I wonder how everyone else is still doing up there.

If you're not doing much today, what do you think of going down to Crystal Palace Park? It'll be nice to get out for a while.

Ah....Door? Looks like I'll really be going out tomorrow....if we're not back in, oh, five days, put together a search party.

....maybe a forensics team as well, considering there might not be enough left to identify.

Well, this is certainly going to make things a lot more interesting. Not to mention three times more frustrating.

....I feel like I should at least give everyone else on there a fair warning, but....

I almost ran into de Carabas earlier. I don't think he recognized me.

....he's....a fair bit more intimidating than usual from this size.

Huh. I've been on the community for over a year now. As of the fourth of this month. Goes to show how much I pay attention to these things.

....looking back, can't say it was my best decision in the world, but....I don't think I'd change a thing about it.

....
Ow.

Ow.

A note to my future self-- taking up offers to help, from a child of all people, is a completely stupid idea. In so many more ways than one.

....my damn leg won't even bend anymore.

Say, Door? I don't suppose you've seen the post about the upcoming masquerade ball, have you?
