Talk to All

Talk to Team

Talk to Individual

For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

It's fine, [ he says after a second. ] We're dealing. We lost a Team Lead, but not in the snow - dunno if you heard. We found some of the wolves that follow the dragon we're going to. It's a lot of walking.

[ He feels like there's more he should say, and adds after an awkward moment - ]

It's a straightforward mission.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Softly, sadly:]

I heard.

Seems like the mission itself is the only thing going right.

[She's talking about more than just the missing team lead, here.]

[blitzcheer]

Did...anything else happen?

[ He's heard about disappearances, and for a second isn't sure if someone Nita knew disappeared too. ]

[unfavorableinstigation]

... I know we're missing more than a team lead for Blue.

[An understatement - and considering how few of the losses are for Orange, let alone people she herself is close to, a deliberate one.]

We're going to need a serious regroup after this is over. And possibly a group hug.

[She's not joking; that is an offer, Tidus.]

[blitzcheer]

[ He's not Inigo, and so it sounds more like a joke to him. But speaking of him... ]

You, uh... [ 'Should probably talk to Inigo'. But he doesn't want to say that, and he's not sure if he should try and speak about the guy. 'Gerome disappeared too'.

But he doesn't know how to finish as a result, creating an awkward few seconds of silence. ]

I-if Orange needs anything, let us know. Are you still collecting the crystals?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Oh, the irony.

Nita can't tell what Tidus was originally going to say, but she can imagine more than a few things going in there.]

You're not the only one I'm checking in with, don't worry about that.

[But after saying that, she accepts the redirect for what it is.]

Still a work in progress, though we're making it. There's a lot of people who need healing.

[Including birds, and wind sprites, and- well, Tidus probably can imagine.]

[blitzcheer]

You guys want me to come over? A lot of the other healers went with Red. [ It's why he ended up with Blue in the first place, the reason why he's offering himself now. ]

But I can spend a few hours healing.

[ And maybe he should check in on Purple, but -- but even as he says that, he doesn't voice it. They had to have someone, right? Surely. ]

[unfavorableinstigation]

It'll be hard getting in or out of that storm, from what I remember of the briefing.

['Transportation magics', the SCA had said specifically - whether that included the SCA's own abilities, Nita didn't know.]

Plus,

[She adds gently.]

You are talking to a healer, Tidus. I can hold my own, and I'm not the only one Orange has available either.

[Though she should probably check with the Team Leads, see if they knew who was still out-and-about...]

[blitzcheer]

Right- sorry. [ He didn't remember her about being a healer, but it doesn't matter. Nor the moving around part now. ]

I'll let you go. You said you had other people you're checking on, right?

[ He didn't want to keep her too long, if that was the case. ]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita pauses again, before responding. To touch on the rest of what's wrong, to downplay, to reassure...]

You can call me back anytime, Tidus. I promise I'm not going anywhere.

Keep on keeping on for now, okay? We'll get through this.

[blitzcheer]

[ A pause. ]

Sure. ...Stay safe.

[unfavorableinstigation]

As long as you do the same.

[She says it in less ominous a manner than the words imply, before ending the call.

With a sigh, she scrolls briefly through the rest of the names before getting up again. Back to work...]
