[ So here's someone who will be familiar to anyone paying attention to the networks recently - except at least this time there's no screaming. Instead she switches on the video after composing herself, and she's maybe not as calm as she'd like, but it's close enough. ]

The people we found, is anyone- [ she hesitates a moment, she's not good at public speaking at the best of times, let alone with the topic at hand. She presses on though, after a moment to suck in a sharp breath of air. ] Is anyone arranging a funeral for them? I just...wanted to know, that's all.

[ Another hesitation. She looks tired, and in the moment that she sweeps the stray hair out of her face it's kind of obvious that she's not looking a hundred per cent. ]

I'll do it, if there isn't something already.

[ And...that'll do apparently, because with that she cuts the feed. ]

[ That response fills her with more relief than she can quite express, and she smiles slightly as she responds. ] Yeah, yeah I would really like that. I don't...really know where to start. I've just attended them.

[gleans]

I'm, um, pretty sure not much can be done in the embalming department, since they were kind of... out. For a while. But I used to help my dad out with funerals, so I can help plan.

Yeah, I kinda guessed that much. They're - [ How do you put 'decomposing' in a lighter way? ] ...not a pretty sight.

What sort of things do you think we need to sort out? I mean, besides like people and uh. A place to do it.

[gleans]

Uhhh. [ He blows out a breath. Give him a second. ] What kind of ceremony to have is kinda important. I'm assuming we're gonna go secular, so that's easier. Then there's things like eulogies, if anyone wants to speak, and music, and the actual burial. It might be good to talk to the people who knew Phil best -- I know Kenzi was his friend, but anyone else, they might have like, suggestions, y'know? On music or stuff to include. -- I can handle the music, by the way.

Yeah, I think something that's not going to potentially start a fight is best. I...don't know who any of their friends were, honestly. I'll ask around though, that's a good idea.

[ So maybe there's more to planning a last minute funeral than she had initially expected. It's okay though, she's got help at least. Thank god for that. She pushes her hand through her hair, smiles slightly even. Yeah, she's got this. ]

That's...really great, thank you. I thought, maybe after. There's a town hall thing, right? I thought maybe if I went and found some drinks, stuff like that, we could have a sort of pseudo wake. Make sure everyone's okay, y'know?
