015. text. partially private. backdated to around 4 am this morning.

i'm looking for a lot of people and i know a lot of you guys are too
maybe instead of jacking up the network with a thousand I'M HERE DON'T WORRY posts we could try
keeping them all in the same post or something idk
maybe make a check in??
make it so even if you haven't seen someone and they're not answering messages someone else can say they have and we can try and figure out where they went from there
idk
i know a lot of us are trying to stay hidden so it's probably not gonna help if we start putting up descriptions of ourselves but it's kind of an emergency? maybe we could just use our numbers instead idk

i only wish that they were of a size that suplexing was an option! it would have been much easier on my hands if that had been the case. D:

i am glad to hear that you are safe, though! i have been most fortunate in my friends remaining well, and i do not wish for that to change any time soon.

[ ... ... Wait, what? Since when were they friends? He's. Hm. ]

how long were you out there anyway
how are your hands

[everyone is friends with Kara unless they explicitly state otherwise. it's ok, Skyler, you were not consulted about this]

i do not know the exact time - i arrived from the university and stayed until the monster was killed, so it must have been several hours at the very least. there was no shortage of things to do, so i could not even consider leaving before then.

they are well now! i had them looked at by someone on the network who is capable of healing. but it was fairly painful before; i am not certain whether i am using these powers incorrectly or if they are simply not meant for a human body. :/

[ This kind of behavior is sounding very familiar to Skyler... ]

man that must've sucked
is your other not human?

i do not know if she was inhuman or simply deeply empowered, but from all that i recall she was certainly capable of many things that should be impossible!

it was a poor time to discover the limits of these abilities, but i am still glad that i was granted the use of them. i was able to render much aid. :) and there is now time for me to refine my use of them.

as long as the cops don't bust you
or the fbi
i mean they were there right
the national guard too

were they? ah, i cannot afford to have such a thing happen to me! i am only here on a student visa!! D8

[THINGS SHE DID NOT THINK OF AT THE TIME]

[ KARA. ]

i dunno
that was the first thing i thought of
were you disguised?
please tell me you thought of disguising yourself

i was wearing a bandana over my face and a hat. surely this would have been enough in the chaos?

[she's also six feet tall and throwing cars and energy bolts at snakes....]

it better be
for all we know the fbi is in on the conspiracy shit too
we don't need any more people disappearing on us

[ ... U TRIED ]

if i disappear i suspect that it will be because my family has decided to come and kill me for making them worry so, whether or not the fbi takes me first. u_u

have we lost anyone to this yet? after the battle, i mean.

all of your brothers plus your mom?? yeah i'd run

[ ..... hoo boy. ]

kind of
yeah

does it count if she's a ghost now

a ghost?!

[WHAT THE HELL]

i do not know how this would count in either direction! how did such a thing occur in the first place??

a girl i knew died
she was on the network
she had telekinesis
so she can still type and shit even though she's a ghost now
so she didn't actually really die i guess????
but that does her shit all because she can't talk to her own family because come on who would fucking believe that your telekinetic dead sister is back from the grave but wait theres more!!! she can still text what a god damn COINCIDENCE

[ ... Skyler, uh. You. All right there? ]

i am sorry. death is a heavy burden, even when a connection still remains.

nah sorry this was fucking stupid of me
she had better friends i was just kind of
she was cool but like
i shouldn't even feel bad about it tbh haha
she's okay she's fine

i do not know her at all, so i can only believe you when you say this, but i do not think the same holds true for you.

[she doesn't want to push too hard, but she can't help but be concerned all the same. it was always frustrating when people she cared about were in pain with no solution, doubly hurtful when the reason was another person's death]

[ shit. ]

i'm okay
nothing happened to me all day
she came over and we talked for a little while and i guess i'm still freaking out about it
that's all

[ text is the best. nothing shows through if you're careful enough. skyler isn't particularly good at it (see above), but even he sees the advantage in it. ]

there is no shame in being not-ok...but if you are certain.

[she's not really sure that she quite believes that, but Kara can't bring herself to even entertain being aggressively pushy about a subject like this. if he wants to deal with it on his own (assuming he is lying) then that's his choice and she has to respect that]

i can understand the shaky feelings, at least. i can only imagine how much more emotional my calls with my family would have been if something had truly damaged me. it is a frightening thought.

yeah

[ Nah. Welcome to Skyler's obsession with his masculinity, please ~~try~~ to enjoy your stay. He appreciates the distance, he really does. ]

yeah well
people are gonna get worried
i mean nothing happened but if you're stuck in the wrong end of shit creek next time things could snowball real fast

[if only Kara knew how many people like this she's actually dealt with in the past...]

i hope that such a thing never happens. i would not wish to burden people with such horrible emotions.

...but then i suppose that worrying about such a thing does no good either, does it?

[ Godspeed, girl. Godspeed. ]

well
worrying is better than
not caring so

i mean
shit that's a fucking horrible way to put it lol
but yeah
if you've got people worried about you at least they're thinking of you right
that's a good thing
all you have to do is make sure you make it home safe

that's how i look at it sometimes

it is a good way to look at it. sometimes it is hard to remember this, although i think that has more to do with how tired i am than anything being wrong with such a perspective. @_@

do you think perhaps the next time we face a cataclysm it can be a bit smaller? only so the only news stations which carry it are local. i think it may help things.

you should probably sleep
it's been a long day

haha
if it was up to me i'd make sure it was
maybe kick the alien's ass BEFORE it wrecks half of the town
bam
no news coverage ever

i should...but i do not think rest will come for another few hours. simply to be safe on the side, you know?

ah, yes, a stealth mission! i would be down on this for certain, although i am not sure how helpful i would be in that scenario. i do not own very many black article of clothing that are not for the formal wear.
