- Waver-san?

[She turns and breathes a sigh of relief at being able to actually see him. She hadn't been entirely sure she'd be able to see or hear anyone.]

Mm. It's kind of hard not to panic, considering the timer and the fact we all passed out and wound up here, but I'll try.

I know--frankly, we might just be screwed. But we don't know for certain that we are just yet. If we jump to assuming the worst, we do likely just what that psychopath wants.

[slightlyoblivious]

I wasn't going to put it quite like that, but it's true. We might very well be entirely screwed, but we don't know.

I still don't like the looks of it, though. Whatever broke in Ruana must have really broken.

[fionnuisce]

She was always a goddamned lunatic, but recent events do seem to have made that worse.

I hate to say it, but we could have nothing to do but wait.

[slightlyoblivious]

I hope not. Sitting here for five hours staring at a timer is going to be enough to send any one of us off the deep end.

[fionnuisce]

...It might end up okay. Maybe. Fuck, I don't know.

[slightlyoblivious]

Let's hope so.

[because she sure as hell doesn't know.]

What even happened down there?

[fionnuisce]

I think you're asking the wrong person. In all that mess, I'm afraid I failed to keep a closer watch on what was going on.

[slightlyoblivious]

It's understandable. I didn't see any of it, but I can imagine the kind of mess it was, given the last time we fought Riki.
