[ Will's been missing for a little while now. Hard times hit and just being able to pretend he could cope was no longer an option. After considerable thought and a short conversation with Confusion, Will decided drastic action was needed.

His memory has been tampered with, Will can no longer recall anything that happened to him after Hope resurrected him... Save from a few blurred memories of being fed his own heart by Hannibal, which was nice...

So there he was, standing in the middle of the street, blood splattered across his face, a knife in his hand and a confused look in his eyes. Sure, it looked bad and considering his history it could have been catastrophic, even Will didn't seem to know what he was doing. ]

This place doesn't seem real but I don't feel like I'm dreaming anymore... I don't know what's going on.

[ Looking up at the twin suns in the sky, their rays reflecting against his dirty glasses. He was more confused now than he had ever been. ]

People are missing- -dead... Are we not underground? I remember robots and fighting.

[ He starts to shake, nerves and shock kicking in. Slipping his glasses from his face and covering his eyes. That's right, he'd went through with this drastic change just before the Null attacked, memories were mixing, it was hard to focus.]

I can't find Winston or my foxes... I can't...

[ Even if Will was looking, he couldn't see her hands. Had he been in a right frame of mind, he might have had an idea she was worried though. ]

I er, I'm down by the stores... You don't need to bother though...

[ Because I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming or dead? ]

[it seems like every time they speak, she gets another reason to worry about him]

Lemme be the judge of that, okay? I'll be right over.

[she heads out of the house, but keeps the video feed going]

[ He unfortunately had that effect on women. ]

Really, I'm fine, don't trouble yourself.

[ He knows she's going to come find him anyway. George did as she pleased after all.

[while George would be flattered to be considered a woman, she's a bit too busy worrying over him]

It's not trouble. The only trouble I see is you not taking very good care of yourself. Which we are going to work on.

[yup, she's on her way, though still not quite sure where she's heading to. but she'll figure it out]

[ If he wasn't so distressed, Will might have laughed at that comment. People have been trying to get Will Graham to take better care of himself for most of his life.

He could see she was already on the move, the feed on her end blurred as she moved. So, Will turned his camera around, letting George see the stores and streets behind him. ]

I'm just, I er, it's so hot out now... Thursty.

[ Licking his lips, or well, trying to. ]

[well, add George to the list. odds are, she'll try talking him into coming to the house she shares and eating something when she finds him.

she gets a good look at the stores and streets and it's enough for her to zero in to his location. good, she's already halfway there]

Yeah, it's hotter than hell. And the water's fucked up, too, so that's fun. But whatever, we'll deal. Right?

[her voice turns hopeful at the end]

[ Will sat himself down, leaning up against a rundown-looking stores wall. Rolling the sleeves of his shirt up and unbuttoning the two few buttons. God, he must have stunk, he couldn't recall what he'd been doing for weeks! Out in the elements, all exposed and confused. ]

Water-

[ Will uttered the word, expecting it to quench his thirst. ]

Is there none? The river, the lake?

[and this is a particularly harsh set of elements to be exposed to. he must have sweat his way through his shirt by now]

The river and the lake are okay. I--don't have a water bottle with me, though. Maybe we'll find one at the shops, or even a bowl would work. I'm almost there.

[and she arrives where Will is at, going over to him and crouching down at his side]

Hey.

[ Will has tired himself out, that and the shock was kicking in, adrenaline wearing off. All he could do was nod and offer a faint smile as she spoke on the video.

After a few more moments, George was in sight. Like a mirage at first, just a figure made of blurry lines. Will squinted and blinked as she crouched down beside him. Raising a hand to shade his eyes. ]

Hey.

[ That awkward smile of his, the lack of eye contact for anything longer than a few seconds. He was exhausted. ]

[she tries to look reassuring. she's not so sure if she's doing a good job at it]

Wanna get outta here?

[she can tell that he's exhausted and feels the need to poke some food and water into him]

You read my mind.

[ Shaking a little, Will pushed himself up, wobbled a little, resting a hand on George's shoulder for a moment to gain what was left of his balance. ]

what I wouldn't give to be back underground in this hell hole of a City.

Cool. Where d'you wanna go? My house was empty when I left it.

[she notices the shaking and resolves to get some food and water into him as she gives him physical support]

Yeah, I've gotta say that I'm not that impressed with our new home.
