004 [Text] | Late 4/8

[thechoiceisyours]

[Hopefully everyone has recovered from their hangovers and energy drink comas by now, but if not he's using text to be courteous. Also because it's really late, and because this message works better in text anyway.]

So this isn't exactly a huge important development or whatever, but if your usual texting back home involved emojis I'm sure you'll be ecstatic to know that you can send them here now, too.

[There's a link to install a small program on the phones, which enables a smiling face, a scowling face, and a hand giving the finger.]

Options are kind of limited to happy, unhappy, and pissed off, but never fear. Any additional emoji requests can be submitted to Emily, who I'm sure will totally love fulfilling them for you since she's the master artist here; I just do the scripting. Definitely request as many inane emojis as you could possibly want. Make sure to ask her every time you talk to her if they're done yet, too.

[Sorry Emily. Harmless revenge is sweet.]

So yeah. Have fun.

[The whole topic is definitely uncomfortable but it's okay to talk about it, at least as long as it stays in the realm of facts.]

We tried, we just couldn't get her to the Temple.

[It had been too difficult. Emily had tried--more than tried; she'd been incredible--controlling the wendigo urges, but it was just asking too much of her for her to do so the entire distance they needed to travel. That she managed to resist killing Chris had been a miracle on its own.]

[ Miller feels like he's got to wring every additional detail out of Chris about what happened. A decent person probably would have eased up, but Kaz's desire to know about what goes on around the city outweighs any sense of propriety. ]

And did she attack the rest of you?

[ If Chris died in the process, then Kaz is going to have to ask him about the revival, so that he can compare it to what Big Boss went through. ]

[So far the questions aren't that out of the ordinary, at least not enough that he thinks much about Kaz asking. That doesn't mean he's interested in giving many details, though, so his answer is short.]

Not really. No one got seriously hurt.

[They could've been, easily, but aside from a few bruises from the partially-transformed Emily knocking him down no one had really been hurt at all.]

Not our first go-around with wendigos anyway so we kind of had an advantage.

[They'd known exactly what to do, and even if being able to actually do it isn't exactly as simple they'd at least had better chances. That might be why there had been no casualties among anyone from their house aside from the wendigos themselves.]
