Good Morning I guess?

[Was it morning? Was it late at night? These thirty hour days were really messing up Robin's sense of time, especially with it being winter and all of that and the days being long and so many other things. But of course that's not relevant because, well... The video makes it very clear that she's not in a place that makes sense to be. There's a big icy and rocky wall behind her. This... is probably a problem?]

Two things? First, is there a way that we can edit that map thingy on these little devices? Like, maybe survey where all the really deep pits are in Temba and mark them on the map? Maybe put up cones around them as a warning? Actually, more maps sounds good. Maybe some of the ships too, because I got lost there a few times because they're so big.

[A Robin Buckley in stress will talk. A lot. Don't mind her. She's working up to it.]

As for the second thing...

[She turns the device to pan around the space she's in. Which is more stone. More ice. Then it tilts up to see the sky far above and the snow falling thickly down. Down into the hole that Robin has clearly fallen into.]

Also, can anyone, like, fly? I'm sorta trapped? Underground. In one of those holes. I'd tell you where but, you know, lack of map having them? Um. Help? Please? Soon? It's really cold and still snowing.

Comments

It should be possible through communications. The suggestion is not a bad one.

...where-

No, I can find you. I will be there soon.

[work_wife]

I'm communicating the desire for it now? [No, she doesn't understand that it's a datapoint, sorry.]

Yeah, um, it's not like I'm really going anywhere.

[tyrants_son]

It will require coding. Which will take time. This should not.

[There's a brief distortion in the transmission but it clears up as Felwinter continues.]

I should be able to trace the signal from your device.

[work_wife]

Coding, huh? Sounds like a lot of work.

[She is so taking out of her ass. She does not know enough about computers by half to even begin to talk about how things are made on them. She's a generation too early for that to have been something she grew up with.]

Is there something you need me to do with this not-phone to help with that?

[thelastechidna]

[Knuckles stares in concern. This is a job he can handle ... if he can find her.]

You don't even know what part of the city you were in when the ground gave way?

[work_wife]

I was in an area that was cleaned by the little moving robot things?

[thelastechidna]

... Well, that's helpful.

[Not.]

Did you see anything they'd cleared?

[crystalmaster]

[Radley sees the video come in and is very concerned.]

How long have you been down there?

[He agrees editing the maps is a great idea, but now isn't the time to talk about that. He needs to figure out where she is so he can try to do something ... although he's not sure what that will be.]

[work_wife]

Um, about three minutes? I called for help quickly when I remembered I could.

[crystalmaster]

Did you see any kind of scenery at all before you fell down?

[He needs some idea of where to go.]

[in_extremis]

Tell Felwinter where you are.

[Look at that, a picture of the map, updated with a little sad face. A small shower of snow is dislodged from above her as a round camera rolls perilously close to the edge.]

You're not hurt, are you? Got to have a few more falls in you. Someone has to find all of those pits, you're on the case already.

[work_wife]

[Okay, cool, he uh, apparently figured out how to do that. The sad face gets a little snort. Makes her look up and see a little... What even is that? She doesn't know.]

Is that a remote controlled car? Smart for scouting I guess. And, um, I'm not sure who Felwinter is. Or how to tell them where I am. I hope the frowning face thing helps.

And I don't know if I'm hurt. Haven't really tried to move around too much and the cold would deal with any swelling. But hey, seems like we found my additional talent. Languages, throwing things, ability to face monsters, and tripping into pits. Score?

[in_extremis]

He can fly. Will just pick you right up like it's nothing. Fantastic, if you're into that sort of thing.

You're really not saying a lot of reassuring words. Do you think there's swelling? That's a terrible thing to be doing on your own, more of a party game.

Next time, lead with the impending frostbite and death from hypothermia.

You get out okay?

[work_wife]

[What!? Come on, is this really that surprising? Robin's just like this. Be proud that she's kept to her morning jogs with Steve Rogers. Though actually taking self defense beyond practicing throwing empty bottles is probably too much.

Still, she notices the response come a while after she's been delivered to the hospital and turns on the audio to talk.]

Yeah. I did. Some really interesting robot-guy named Felwinter helped me out. The glasses guy named Wesker almost beat him there, but didn't. Then I was taken to the hospital, but it seems really, you know, over the top. My knee is only just a little sore. I'm planning my escape. Don't tell the doctor.

[cactusy]

Public feed. You're probably boned, sorry. Also, frostbite's no joke. If they want you to stay put you should stay put.

audio - late to the party but meh

[sunglassesincluded]

Which part of the town are you in?

[ Yes, he can just leave this to all these attention starved heroes, but Wesker doesn't trust them to not push the girl into a deeper hole just to rescue her again. ]

Once I know the general direction, set your device to play a loud noise and I will find you.

[ The rest is just a matter of dropping he off with Tae. ]

[work_wife]

I was heading toward the diner? So, um, that way?

[Wow, harsh judgement of heroes. Wait, do they work for the government? If so, he might be right.]

How do I set it to play a loud noise? Should I just shout? Noise carries pretty well in the cold after all.

[sunglassesincluded]

The diner was your destination, okay. What was your starting point?

[ His judgement is based on personal experiences. Some of these heroes seem to actively try to turn him into their next super villain, but that's not something Wesker has time for. ]

Set an alarm for the next full minute. That will do.

video;

[madginger]

[ Video - just so she can just stare at Robin like, really? Really? ] Looks like you got help to get out, but do you need a partner next time you leave a building? I'll be your buddy.

[work_wife]

[Really? Really?]

I'm fine. Really. I don't need an escort!

[madginger]

[ Really! ]

You sure about that? Wouldn't it be better for all us to go out in buddy teams?

Video

[farrahfawcetts]

[ Yeah. You're getting a very similar look to the one Max gave you. ]

I am so glad that you have people getting you out because that means I can kill you myself.

[work_wife]

[Really, Steve? Really? She gives the device a deadpan stare so Steve can see her giving him this look.]

Billy's hair is better than yours.

[farrahfawcetts]

[ His eyes are rolling so hard he might have given himself a migraine. So have that on your conscience too. ]

I don't know why you want your final words to be a lie, but I guess it's your call.
