video; day 46; 003

[facilitated]

[ 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. ]

I just- there's a cemetery here right? Do you think there, maybe?

[reluctantsword]

Makes sense. I don't mind digging graves, if you need a pair of hands for that.

[facilitated]

Are you alright with that? I know it's not the most uh, pleasant thing ever, but we're kind of short on time and I can't dig two graves overnight.

[He sighs. As he sees it, he has the strength, and someone has to. Shonsu would be horrified at this sort of brute labour, but it needs to be done. He's not proud.]

I don't mind. Give me a shovel and I'll do what's necessary.

[facilitated]

Yeah, uh. [ Awkward pause? ] Working on that one. Not sure where they are, you haven't seen any around have you?

[reluctantsword]

No, but...

[He considers a bit.]

Maybe in one of the stores? There's got to be some around here somewhere.
