Video > Text | No, you can't keep a good (wo)man down

[The broadcast starts with Jo centered pretty well, and she's talking up a storm. Well, for a few moments anyway. The video, despite her lips moving, is silent and she stops mid-sentence to clear her throat.

Her voice does not return and her expression falls, a frown settling itself firmly on her face. Fuck. Something was wrong. Actually she wasn't sure if she couldn't speak or hear, but both were troublesome.

The video ends abruptly. Seconds later, a text follows.]

Is it safe? What's going on?

Jo?! Is that you? You're back?

George, are you okay?

I'm fine. I've been working in the clinic the whole time. Where are you?

Welcome back. It's not quite safe yet but it will be soon.

What did I miss?

Not much. Sorrow's dead, Delight's dumb, and we need to clear out the Null before they all catch up to us.

[ The oddness of the video catches his attention. Something is not quite right here. Curufin checks the caller ID and sees it's Jo Harvelle. He's never met her, but he has met Dean, who spoke of her with admiration and affection. ]

It's not safe. There are still some Null rampaging around. We're killing them as fast as we can, though. Fear moved the city to a new location, and we're trying to clean up the remaining foes, who can't send reinforcements now. Not sure how he managed that last part.

You don't know me, but I wish you well. Are you all right?

Edited 2017-12-10 22:06 (UTC)

[She probably wouldn't believe that if Curufin told her.]

Could be better. Are the Null everywhere or concentrated anywhere?

[ Well, Dean didn't exactly say, "I admire her and have affection for her," but it was in the tone of what he did say! ]

Everywhere. Sometimes I run into just a few, and once in a while, a whole crowd of them. They aren't exactly hiding, and they are still very aggressive, but they seem less focused than they did before the move.

Anything I can do?

Yeah, it's me. I'm okay.

We're getting there.
I've got your stuff if you want it back.

You lost your voice?

Yeah, I want it back. [Both her stuff and her voice.]

How are you?

At least you came back. I bet once we're safe, Hope'll be able to fix everybody.

[ There's a gap between his messages, and his next reply isn't quite an answer. ]

I'll meet you.

No. Where are you? What's wrong?

I think Hope's temple. My voice is gone I think.

If someone offers you escort, I'm in the clinic set up by the hot springs. Don't try to come alone.

[ well now, that doesn't get his stomach twisted all up in a knot. At least now he knows for certain that the dead do come back to life. ]

Jo! When you did get back? Are you okay? You're really alive, right?

[ although texting wasn't nearly as satisfying because he couldn't see her, hear her. Frustrated, he dials her number and waits for it to pick up because damn it, he thought they were all gone. ]

[Jo stares at her phone as he calls her, hanging up after a few seconds to text him back.]

Can't talk. I'm back. Alive and all.

[ Philip's hunkered down for the day. Flips through the network as you do-- And frowns at the transmission. Not that he could give her a video if he wanted to, but-- ]

Something not working with your feed?

No, phone's working fine.
