[ from here ]

I'll figure something out.

Comments

[switchcraft]

Yes, I believe that.

[meteorstorm]

I'll probably have to stay in the onsen for a week.

[switchcraft]

You'd melt.

[meteorstorm]

Great. Ryuusei stew. Just what we need.

[switchcraft]

[winkles nose that sounds soooo gross]

[meteorstorm]

[ thankfully she was dripping with sarcasm ]

It's a joke.

[switchcraft]

After two months with no word, it isn't much of one...

[meteorstorm]

[ and now just looks like a kicked puppy ]

I'm sorry. I tried. I really did.

[switchcraft]

[yes where is your puppy I like smushing him]

I don't doubt that.

[meteorstorm]

[ he's hanging out with his sister and the ladypirate, sorry ]

I couldn't tell if any of my messages got through, and after a while the battery died.

[switchcraft]

[boo]

No, there was nothing.

[meteorstorm]

[ well now that we're here I can plug my phone in at least and show you where I did try to send messages

probably a lot of "we're trapped" and "I'm sorry" and "I miss you" ]

[switchcraft]

[you tryin' to make me feel bad here]

So many...

[meteorstorm]

[ no why would I do that ]

Just about every day.

[switchcraft]

Mmm.

[meteorstorm]

It kept me from going completely stir-crazy.

[switchcraft]

I see.

[meteorstorm]

. . . You've seen how I get in enclosed places.

[switchcraft]

Explosive.

[meteorstorm]

It helped prevent that. Mostly.

[switchcraft]

Mm.

[meteorstorm]

She was having a bad enough time. I didn't want to make it worse.

[switchcraft]

I understand.

[meteorstorm]

I'm supposed to be a protector. I can't let things like that happen again.

[switchcraft]

You were trying to help.
