Video | Checking in

That storm was a hell of a thing. [She had gotten used to no weather. Heaven didn't have weather. Neither did the cave. That was the norm.]

Did any buildings go down? [She's checked on the clinic since the storm abated, but even she can't get everywhere in a day or two.]

Hell, what about people? Is everyone okay? [She knows she was stubborn and tried to go out in almost the worst of it. She hopes anyone else didn't do that.

Then she realizes it's been a while since she made a network post.]

Uh, my name is Jo. I've been here a while. If anyone new needs anything, I'll try to help.

I've been inside... my friends make terrible decisions. [ And that's all he needs to not go in; he points his bike away, to finish their rounds. ] It's pretty bad, even by this place's standards.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo turns and follows him, nodding even if he isn't looking her direction.]

Yeah. To the clinic now?

[pellameno]

Might as well. Check your phone first, see if anyone's answered needing help? Before we head back.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo nods and grabs her phone from her pocket, double-checking her messages and seeing if anyone had responded.]

Nothing. If someone responds while we're at the clinic we can head out again.

[pellameno]

[ A nod of acknowledgment and they're off again, finishing the loop of the city and parking the bikes back in front of the clinic. He gets the door for her. ]

Glacius and his friends had a supply drive in Kate's honor -- we've got a lot of stuff to go through.

[knifecollecting]

Yeah, I took some stuff. [She didn't want to completely empty her makeshift pantry and supplies, but she took as much as she could.]

At least the clinic is semi-stocked now.

[pellameno]

It'll get good use. Thank you.

[ He leads her into the storeroom, where there are several boxes full of donations that need to be sorted. ]

Pass me things and I'll put them in the right places? And while we work you can catch me up on what you've been doing that I've missed.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo nods and surveys the room, picking out a box to start with.]

I holed up during the worst of the storm. What else would you want to know? [She laughs quietly.]

[pellameno]

Anything, really. We haven't seen each other for longer than that.

[ He hesitates, then: ] I haven't cleared out Flick's room yet. Is there anything you'd want?

[knifecollecting]

[Jo concentrates on the box in front of her for a moment, trying not to look sad. She misses Flick.]

Talked to people. Did you see Glacius' post about the markers? I sketched one for Dean and Castiel, would you like to help me make one for Flick?

[pellameno]

I did, and I talked to him about making ones for Peter and Axton and Flick, but I couldn't come up with anything for Flick... how do you pick one object to represent your best friend?

[knifecollecting]

[Jo nods. It was pretty easy for Dean, he wouldn't have stood for anything but the Impala, and for Castiel she asked for a bee. She knew the angel liked them a lot.]

Did he have anything he really liked?

[pellameno]

He did treasure one thing -- a statue of Aruhani, one of our deities back home.

I guess that's as good as anything else.

[knifecollecting]

That sounds like it would be a good idea. [Something they treasured always seemed like a good thing to her.]
