[ Soon after this happens mid-morning, a text appears on the network. Gotta clear up any confusion as soon as possible! Even if Angel herself isn't in the talkiest of moods. ]

Hey, um, me again with more app-related updates
Did everyone get the galaxy key thing on their tablets just before? Or was distribution limited to the people I'm with??
I assume everyone got it, it'd seem kinda dumb for people *not* to, but. Norfinbury, am I right? :V
Anyway, that seems to be the end result of decrypting the file left by Andromeda, so
I'm assuming it'll unlock the bunker. Probably. I hope.
Anyone who heads out that way to check: PLEASE be careful!! For all we know that could be where Miller is hiding. Or it could contain unstable equipment or volatile chemicals or
idk spiders??
My point being stay safe! And keep everyone informed of what you find ♥

You'd rather not go?

[phaseshifter]

[ Stupid Alfie and his stupid Beard of Perception+2 >:CCCC ]

It's a bunker. Last time I went into a bunker I never got back out again.

[devoutish]

Well, then. It'll be someone else to go.

[phaseshifter]

Maybe. If they're closer. But I can handle it, otherwise! It's just, y'know. Ick.

[devoutish]

There's a time and a place to work through trauma, and I'm not sure a time when all of our fates are riding on your shoulders is it, Angel.

[He says it gently, but.]

[phaseshifter]

I know my limits, dude. And if I do go, I'll be with a bunch of other people, so it'll be fine. I promise! None of this rests solely on me, geez.

[ Unless admin-chan agrees to the Angel-as-battery plan in the event of another power failure BUT THAT'S NOT SUPER LIKELY ]

[devoutish]

Mm.

[That's an unsure sounding mm, but he won't argue.]

How many have you got with you?

[phaseshifter]

Rhys, Beckett, Enoch. Dunno if Squalo's sticking around or not yet. But either way, that's definitely a surplus of people who can drag me out into the snow if I faint or whatever, right?

[devoutish]

Suppose so.

[He's also being a little protective too, hush.]

Where are you lot now?

[phaseshifter]

Far south, in the building with the trapdoor. A moderate walk away from the school if we go by the tunnels, and from there I think it's another full day to the bunker.

[devoutish]

You'll keep in touch? With me, specifically.

[He knows she'll report her findings to the whole town, but he wants to be kept up to date on how she and Rhys are doing.]

[phaseshifter]

Of course! Even if we don't end up going down there, I'll keep you up-to-date on my daily bickering with Rhys. I hope you like hearing about really dumb arguments.

[ alfie solomons ARE YOU BEING A SOFTIE ]

[devoutish]

[STOP MAKING HIM REGRET THIS, ANGEL]

You do know I can also turn my tablet off.

[phaseshifter]

Yes, but then you'd miss potentially vital developments. Like me bullying Rhys about his fashion sense again.

[devoutish]

Ah, leave the lad alone. There's all sorts of better things to bully him for.

[phaseshifter]

No there aren't! You've forgotten the tie way too quickly.

[devoutish]

Which tie was this again?

[So that's a yes. Yes, he has.]

[phaseshifter]

The one that looked like a strawberry fruit rollup tucked into his effing pants.

[ IT HAUNTS HER DREAMS ALFIE ]

[devoutish]

I haven't got a clue what a fruit rollup is.

[phaseshifter]

Oh. Geez. The past is a rough place. Um - a long, thin, flat strip? Bright red? Not even faintly resembling an actual tie?

[headjacked]

Fruit by the foot, you sheltered brat.

@dickcheese, audio;

[headjacked]

Thank you, Alfie.

-- I think? What 'better things' are you talking about?

@ASolomons; audio

[devoutish]

Ah, don't worry about it, mate.

[grin grin]

[headjacked]

You're not supposed to join the Teasing Squad, Alfie.

[devoutish]

Have I not always been on it?
