[Her writing is rushed, a little bigger than she would normally write, in her haste to get the words down on the page.]

What the bloody hell happened while I was away?

[A slight pause, and her next writing is almost calm.]

Precisely how long have I been away?

-Fred

[ooc: I'm assuming 00 was asleep when Fred got home.]

FRED!

It has been too long! I do not remember what day you left on! But today is the 20th and welcome back! I should come visit!

[burnt_orangesky]

A bit more than two weeks, then. That is longer than I was expecting, really.

You are doing well?

[spandexisyouth]

It was longer than any of us wanted.

Well? Of course I am! I am always doing well! Define well?

[burnt_orangesky]

[Pause. You are acting suspicious, good sir.] I meant your mental well-being, I suppose, but now I wish to know if you have been hurt. Or if you are sick, or otherwise unwell in any way.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Subtle, Gai. Subtle.

OH THANK GOD. FINALLY.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Everything happened and too long.

Just tell me you didn't die again.

[burnt_orangesky]

Kindly take the time to explain exactly what 'everything' is. Why are there [pen taps] remains everywhere?

I did not.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Oh, those. I think Gai tried to cook again and it exploded over the sphere.

Ah, good. All of us survived that one, then.

[live_ringer]

Goddamned zombies happened.

[A pause and he shakes his head, laughing to himself.]

Welcome back, stranger.

[burnt_orangesky]

Zombies? [Slight pause] Are they gone now?

Thank you. It is [pause] very good to be back.

[live_ringer]

Been gone for about a week, I believe.

I'm guessing you took a little trip on the lift? [Because people who get lost in the Wilderness would be likely to at least run across the evacuees.] I've gotta say, your timing is pretty decent. Of all the times to go missing, this was likely the best.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Nothing happened at all. Nobody here but us chickens. Buck, buck.

[burnt_orangesky]

I see. And all the 'chickens' survived the zombies, I do hope?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

And even slew a few! ... Tribble did a lot more work than I did, though.

should have tagged this earlier. stupid sleep

[darcyredux.livejournal.com]

[This is done extremely fast.]

Where were you?!

[And then, after that's said and done...]

You've been gone for over two weeks. There somehow was a zombie invasion and everyone evacuated to the Wilderness until they went away.

so you weren't

<3

[burnt_orangesky]

I believe I was on the fourth floor.

Thank you. I suppose that was how everyone survived such an invasion?

[darcyredux.livejournal.com]

Oh, good.

Yes, there are remarkably no fatalities...though many did get injured, Gai and 00 just two of them.

Everyone's missed you.

[ghost_of_00]

[Someone woke up in the next room after a Haro alert.

...yes, she's writing despite being in the same house.]

Hello.

00

[burnt_orangesky]

Hello, 00. Are you doing well?

[ghost_of_00]

Yes.

I am glad you're back.

laaaaate

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Oh nothing. Just a Zombie apocalypse. We took care of it.

Re: laaaaate

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the jucier details. They're very important.

i wish i had a naked icon

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Can we focus on Fred's triumphant return instead of idle gossip? Come on people.

[burnt_orangesky]

I am most pleased to hear it.

im assuming Genius saw Drop Dead Fred since we're about the same age

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I hear you're coming over for dinner? Good. Saves me the trouble of walking over to KICK YOUR ASS FOR SCARING US ONCE AGAIN. It's old, Not-Dead-Yet Fred.
