[ There's some sighing and shuffling, and when she finally talks, it's a bit quiet - even if her parents know that she was out there doing SOMETHING. ]

First... just in case anyone didn't find out, I'm in one piece. I don't... want to say that I'm fine. It was rough, and my dad's in the hospital - he'll live - but he was downtown when it happened. So that was a little intense.

...I don't think anyone saw me doing magic on camera, but apparently my sister saw me fighting with my sword, and... I dunno if I'm gonna be allowed to leave the house for a few days. My parents are worried, and asking a lot of questions, and I'm not sure what answers I can give.

But it looks like all of us are alive? I think so, from what I've heard, and... it's relieving... I mean, people were hurt, killed, but I've gotten really used to all of you.

So take care of yourselves. Even the ones I don't like.

[ Another sigh. She sounds more tired towards the end, voice shaking as she sighs. ]

You take care of yourself too, bro.

[dragon_blossom]

Thanks. Uh... bro.

[charcoalfeather]

Be careful. I know how you feel right now. My guardians are asking questions too.

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

I'm not sure how honest to be... I don't know how they'll handle magic.

I think all of us are dealing with awkward questions one way or another right now, no matter if you were caught doing something you normally couldn't or shouldn't do.

[dragon_blossom]

Well, if no one knows you were downtown, you'd get off clean. Maybe.

My brother and I got caught on TV. The cat's really, really out of the bag now. But I guess I don't have to lie anymore... though the truth isn't looking much better.

( voice. )

[dragon_blossom]

The bag is long gone and burned for a lot of you girls, huh? Our parents are probably all having the biggest collective freak out.

[lightsoflife]

Do you think your parents are the type to take well to the truth?

[dragon_blossom]

i dont think so honestly

[alilyinthemoonslight]

I can't say I really thought much about keeping myself hidden in that whole thing. I really couldn't and still expect to do anything...

I'm pretty sure I got caught on camera somewhere. And even if I didn't, well... Winter... sort of got interviewed on TV, and...

[...Jasmine's wing. Can't hide that, can we? She doesn't say it, but the frustrated sigh probably expresses this. Maybe.]

I'm too closely tied to things to not be found even if they somehow missed me.

[Pause.] I'm glad your family's okay, Marina. Dad's out of town, but he's been blowing up my cell phone since last night, and I... don't know how we're going to explain all of this...

voice;

[dragon_blossom]

[ That wing pretty much seals it. ]

Sh-she did. Wow... glad I... got away from the reporters at least enough for that. I don't think people are gonna know I was there at first, at least... outside of my family...

My family's fine though. My friends are alive.

I'm okay! Though apparently I broke two ribs!

[He lifts up his shirt with one hand to show the wraps (and apparently he has freckles other places then his face, eww Owen stop)]

Like, the doctor said it shoulda been waaaay worse, and it was already partly healed. We convinced him that the healed part was an old injury... actually got healed at Mr. Thorir's place. So it's mostly just sore.

[dragon_blossom]

[ She doesn't need to see that. ]

Right, well I guess we're all suspicious anyways. Two ribs isn't much though so you should be fine.

[prismaticdestruction]

things will be alright at some point. even if we have to make it that way.

...you sound like you need a break or a hug

[Text]

[dragon_blossom]

we'll figure out how to make it alright.

i could use a lot that i'm not getting.

[voice]

[peacefulwinter]

I'm glad you're... all right. Sorry to hear about your dad.

[She sounds exhausted, even after a night's rest.]

Don't worry s-so much about... who saw, or having to cover things up. I believe... the best answer is honesty. We can't just hide forever. We... should be able to h-hold our heads high and be proud of what we're doing. Don't you think so?

[voice]

[dragon_blossom]

He's fine enough that it's... mostly just a formality, I think.

...I'm gonna do just that. Well, I mean, I won't announce it to the school, but I'm not gonna... deny it? I'm not flashy enough to turn myself into a celebrity on purpose, but my family's gonna know for sure.

[anequal]

You get some rest, too. At least you have a reason to stay inside.

audio;

[dragon_blossom]

I'm relaxing a little bit but I can't just sit on my ass.

[fridayisyellow]

just tell them the truth!

[dragon_blossom]

at this rate thats probably the plan but i cant exactly run away if they dont like it

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

How badly is your father hurt?

[Audio]

[dragon_blossom]

No broken bones, a definite concussion - they want to keep an eye on him to see how bad it is, and if there's anything else to go with it - and his ankle's sprained. That seems like it though.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Well now I'm just wondering how broach the topic of us

[private]

[dragon_blossom]

Us.

[ And there it goes, voice shaking, heart pounding, and thank goodness this is audio. ]

N-not the easiest topic to... broach. Huh?
