I tried to get through to you

[archboxer]

[You know what that was? A fiasco. That was an utter fiasco. Three more people gone on a chance that may not happen! This is horrible. Even if some people dislike her, Rhea... is up to the challenge once more. This time she does it nearly herself: writing out the invitations, ordering the food and telling everyone to meet at the bar. In Ema's honor, of course.

She hands out the invitations herself and if she can't find you, she'll slide yours under your door.]

Okay, that's a relief. [She leans agains the door, watching him watch the sharks a bit more.] You think they could have fixed it, if they'd had to?

[fivestagegod]

Depends on what I was infected with.

[It's kind of the verbal equivalent of a shrug. Still not making too much eye contact, though.]

The stuff I was concerned about? Probably not.

[ladygeryon]

Hm. Well, I'm really glad we won't have to worry about that when we get out. And...your family's fine too, right? [Did that explosion happen on Take Your Daughter To Work Day with the worst timing ever don't tell her it did.]

[fivestagegod]

...They're not infected with anything, at least. I'm concerned about my wife, but that's for other reasons.

[ladygeryon]

The "being stuck in an underwater facility with no way to contact her" reason? Or something that happened before that?

[fivestagegod]

...Some people broke into my lab to try to kill me. That's the last thing I remember happening before I woke up here.

[He shrugs a bit; he's keeping his eyes on the sharks.]

Annette was in the next room over. I don't know if they're just after me, or both of us, or what.

[ladygeryon]

[...ah.] Right, that's definitely worrying to think about, especially if you just disappeared in front of them which might freak them out even more... Did she have a way out of that other room?

[fivestagegod]

Not without going through the people that were there to mess me up, no.

[ladygeryon]

[Well, fuck.]

...fuck. Wish there was something I could do to help other than say I hope she's alright.
