What's the date?

[You might be somewhat startled by the suddenness of Castor's message, or even by the urgency in her voice. Maybe you're surprised because this is the first hide or hair you've seen of her in seven full days.

Also, she looks like hell; Sallow and wan and with eyes that look just a little bit red. There's also the faint sliver of something dull and metal along the bottom of the camera - an object in her lap that can't quite be discerned. ]

Please I...I went lookin' fer somethin've mine that ended up in the Width an' I...Althyk keep me, this date ain't right, is it?


((oops someone got canonbump'd!))

Well... [ He closes his eyes for a bit, trying to make sense of it all. ] Maybe time went slower in the dream than it did for us? Normal dreams do that, right?

[ And then he grows solemn again. He's a scientist and an engineer and he led people on a trip to get info from the PuPus and he doesn't have any information to offer his friend. Just vague guesses. ] But you're back now, even if it took a little longer than it should've. That's... [ He sighs. ]

That's what's important. You're still here. [ His voice cracks a bit at the end there. ]

[littlemhigan]

Aye they do. An...I s'ppose I'm the only one who's had this happen to 'em, so who's te say.

[ She looks like she's about to comment on his change of tone, but whatever's in her lap steals her words before she can utter them.

There's a solid few seconds of silence before she can reply. ]

A-aye. I am.

[chefbayardee]

I'll be there soon. Just... [ He tries to smile, to laugh. ] Just don't go anywhere, okay?

[ He wants to pick her brain about everything, but... he knows better. That'd be horrible. She'll talk when she's ready. ] Let me know if you need anything before I get there, okay?

(( seems like a good spot to end it, if you're cool? ))

[littlemhigan]

Promise I won't wander.

((aye!))
