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?

[She's back. Thank god. Relief crashes over Ellie as a cold shiver, and she feels like she's going to be sick. The concerning video does not help.]

[She believes Hope is the kind of guy to put everything he has into healing people. So if shit like this is happening... it doesn't bode well for him, or anyone else, right? She swallows thickly.]
