sixth ( video ) day 67

[gleans]

[ At the very least, Galen looks a good deal better than he did the last time he showed his face. He does look tired - when doesn't he? - and there's still a note of worry in his voice, when he speaks. For the most part, however, he manages to keep his slight panic down, nudging at his glasses nervously. ]

Hey, guys -- I don't wanna cause any more alarm, but... if you could keep an eye out for Kenzi, we -- all of us, we'd really appreciate it. She might not be gone, but I haven't -- uh, better to be sure, right? So -- Kenzi, early twenties, goth-lite, long black hair, super tiny, ridiculously friendly.

Thanks, guys. Stay safe.

[ And this is where a message to Bruce would go... IF HE WERE THERE TO PICK UP. ]

[ He's nervous, mostly because he thinks he knows what's coming and really isn't looking forward to watching the other shoe drop. Regardless, he waits, talks to the others, keeps an eye out for Anna --

And then she's in front of his face. And her expression -- she doesn't have to say anything. Galen sighs, expression falling, and runs his hands back through his hair. ]

Fuck.

I'm sorry.

[ She's making every effort not to show it, but it's true. Anna doesn't quite know how to process that yet another one of her friends has been ripped out from under her fingers, so she doesn't. There's absolutely no use in having all this power if it doesn't help anyone and it grates at her in ways she can't quite deal with right now.

So she doesn't. She just moves slightly, shifts to drop into a seated position at the nearest suitable surface, and she just shakes her head. ]

There's...nothing any of us can do. To stop them. Nothing at all.

[ Nice and cheerful comment right there. Good job lifting morale, Anna. ]
