[log] as the water rises up again [closed]

[keepscalm]

Characters: England, America, and Sealand
Location T4, building 83
Date: Day 62, early evening
Summary: Sealand finally comes back! England and America are relieved to find him again.
Warnings: Mentions of character death.

[The weather seems to be a little better today, but England doesn't insist upon looking through any of the houses on the way to their destination. Sealand is alive, and England knows exactly where he's supposed to be; he's not going to waste any time in getting there, especially since he'd like to be there when Sealand arrives.

He hasn't spoken to America much about Sealand the past couple of days. Not since that whole debacle over Miranda. But he didn't hesitate to tell America that Sealand messaged him, and that they needed to go meet him; he just kept it brief so as to avoid another fight.

Travel conditions still haven't fully improved, it seems, as they've lost more than half the day by the time they arrive to the house. England doesn't waste any time in calling out once he enters, raising his voice so it can be heard throughout the house:] Sealand?

Comments

[bydefacto]

[Sealand allows himself to be hugged for a few seconds, even squeezing his brother back a little, before pulling back. If he had the ability, he'd be grumbling about what how annoying England's being. As it is, he just scowls at him a little.

He tries to ask them both what he missed while away, but fails. Frustrated, Sealand grabs his tablet and types something out to show them.]

what happened when i was gone

[fifty]

Well, we left the tunnels. [This is really obvious, but it's the first thing that pops into America's mind so it's the first thing that comes out of his mouth. He fought with England a couple of times, too, but he's definitely not saying that.] And we decided to help out with putting food in different houses.

[England lets Sealand pull away without too much fuss; he'll have to deal with the consequences when Sealand gets his voice back, anyway, and he doesn't want to make this even more embarrassing for himself.

He decides to follow up on America's explanation.] A few people are setting up rations around town. That way, people who aren't close to a source of food don't have to worry about running out before they can resupply.

There are some in this house, though America and I have got plenty if you're hungry. [An awkward beat, a moment of hesitation, and then he adds:] You've been gone for a little while.

[bydefacto]

[Sealand frowns. He knows that most people come back after a few days. Last time he died he pretty much came back again the following day. He nods, then begins typing again.]

how long??????

did anything weird happen

[fifty]

Uh-- [America has to pause to think about it, counting up days in his head. It's difficult when a chunk of it is covered in the unusually present sheen of distraction and mania.] Like ten days? The admin posted some thing about turning on beacons and then there were some weird messages later. They should still be on the network.
