[The video feed starts with Cecil's harsh breathing and a nice view of dirt. Then finally, he pushes the device up. He looks horrendous, with a flushed face, dry lips, and a rash on his neck, but the unconscious, dark-haired girl next to him might also be cause for worry.We need help ( Read more... )

BZZZZT--

[And Cecil's foot steps off of the device! It's been dropped and abandoned in a small field, far far from Discedo. And the late night sky is dark but clear, both moons shining brightly. A yellow-orange light trickles past Cecil's head, and his arms reach out for it. And soon, trapped in the darkness.

BZZZZZTTTZTZTZZZZT!

[There's a sigh.]

...is anyone in Marshall capable of treating frostbite?

...it's still growing.

I'm bored.
