first thing first, what's the date and time?

SECOND: THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: IF YOU SEE AN ODD LOOKING MACHINE WITH A STRANGE GLOWING SYMBOL AND LOTS OF INVITING BUTTONS DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE URGE TO TOUCH SAID MACHINE. IT WILL BE TRAUMATIZING.

[That sound? That is the sound of a relieved baby brother-cousin]

You're okay.

Perfectly fine. Physically anyway. I have all toes and fingers still attached to me. Head too.

When you get home I am hitting you so hard for that.

Oh--do me a favor? Wait around wherever you are for a tiny white talking puppy. Floweregg got zapped, too.

It's not my fault!

...Wait. I was talking to someone in that black void I got stuck in after I get zapped. Was that the talking puppy?

permavoice for Killian

[youngestone]

Hell if I know. She's a bit like a five-year-old, so if felt like you were talking to a little kid it mighta been. Either way, I really need you to wait and find her. I was puppysitting her when I went to Espresso Yourself and despite being intelligent, she still doesn't understand "stay".

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Got it. Don't I'll see if I can bring her back to Locke with me. Not sure how I'll get her on the plane, but I'll think of something.

[youngestone]

I know there's ways to do it. If not, we'll figure something out.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I hope the puppy doesn't mind being smuggled in a backpack or something...

[youngestone]

Get a carrier, dumbass. I know there's ways to get dogs on planes.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I said I'll figure it out!

[youngestone]

...sorry, I'm just freaked out.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

It's fine. Didn't mean to snap at you either. It's been a hell of a few days.

[youngestone]

[Killian laughs]

That, Fil, is the understatement of the millennium.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Hahaha.

Well, see you soon. I'll brace myself for the lectures I know I'm getting.
