[video/Backdated to the afternoon of the earthquake]

[darkhourdear]

[The video comes on with Phillip filling the screen, and while it looks like he's in an alley, he doesn't look too bothered!]

Hi guys! So, um. Luke and I went to try and figure out what caused the earthquake, but we ran into some bad guys and got in a fight and Luke's kind of upset now.

But the guys were really tough, so does a science person want to see the body to do... science things?

[...Wait. Did he just say body sounding completely unaffected? Sure enough, he moves the camera to show a very queasy looking Luke, next to a very charred dead body.]

[Sweden would be fairly unfazed by a body. Siiri is not.

There is a long timeframe of just background noises before...

the feed ends and is replaced by a text message from the same number:]

Real body?

[She still has a hard time believing all of the things happening, but this just seems like a bit much. Is this some kind of magical injoke that she isn't yet in on? It has to be, right?]

voice

[darkhourdear]

[huh that's weird why so much noise?] Yeah.

How?

[voice]

[darkhourdear]

What do you mean?

[hustru]

Not a joke?

voice

[darkhourdear]

No. Why would it be?

[hustru]

Sounded like it.

[She tried out a lot of different answers and this answer will come a goo while later, but it seems to be the best that she can do. She just hopes that it doesn't offend and worries that it comes out wrong.]

[darkhourdear]

[Well, there's definitely a frown in Phillip's voice now.]

Why does it sound like a joke?

You sound [and the next word delayed the message forever and ever] unphased.

[WHAT SHOULD SHE SAY

staring at the words

finally] Not normally.

voice

[darkhourdear]

Oh. [pause] Is this that problem with death everyone seems to have? [GOD WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE.]

[hustru]

[She really has no clue how to handle any of this at this point. How do you even reply to that.]

Dead humans are upsetting.

voice

[darkhourdear]

Are they?

text;

[hustru]

Should be.

voice

[darkhourdear]

Why?

[hustru]

Signifies shock, mental illness or other conditions if not. See a doctor.

[She's not sure if that is the right thing to say, but it is the answer... Staring at it for a while and then hitting send anyway.]

[darkhourdear]

I was, but then Dr. Mort went to Japan.

Find a new one.

[but seriously what

is that common on this network

though it doesn't sound like it was caused by an echo, if it is a longer standing issue...]

voice

[darkhourdear]

[Well it is an Echo, just... one from a month ago.]

But he was on the network and I liked him.

Re: voice

[hustru]

[wait

if the doctor was on the network... Was she wrong, can this happen through echoes?]

Because of an echo?

voice

[darkhourdear]

[...Well that's just kind of confusing.]

I didn't like him because of an Echo, no...

permatext

[hustru]

[She's the best at communicating. Should get a Nobel prize for it or something.]

An echo caused you to not be upset?

voice forever for him~

[darkhourdear]

[Heeee still doesn't get it.]

I don't know?
