[The video turns on to show that Aya is out in the desert, his sword sticking up in the sand behind him.]

I need everyone I know to report to me right now so I know where you are. I don't know how long this will last but it may be better if we find a way to band together.

[He shields his eyes as he looks up at the sky.]

Be careful out here as well. There's not telling what will happen.

Issuing orders, Aya? Nothing changes.

Have you seen Mara?

voice

[redlikecrimson]

I haven't seen anyone. Are you out here too?

voice

[hatesthefood]

Out... in a crapload of sand?

Let's see... mhm... looks like that's all I see.

voice

[redlikecrimson]

So you're out here too.

voice

[hatesthefood]

It looks like the City's gone.

... do you think this is a curse or something?

voice

[redlikecrimson]

It's hard to tell at this point.

What we need is more information.

An industry of science-fiction productions has made a profit of highlighting that the only thing that can happen in a desert is a very quick, painful death involving overfed vermin.

[redlikecrimson]

I don't tend to enjoy science-fiction.

I regret to inform you that your literary preferences aren't likely to feature in the ultimate outcome of our Arabian Nights adventure.

I actually gathered that already.

[whattingawhat]

Present and accounted for. I've got Dawn with me.

[ooc: assuming Dawn is sticking close to Buffy. Lisa is sick and doesn't have any plans for this as far as I know so I'm dragging her along with Buffy.]

[redlikecrimson]

Thank you for letting me know, Buffy. I appreciate it.

[ooc: Thanks for the update!]

[whattingawhat]

No problem. Are you okay?

[redlikecrimson]

I've been through worse actually.

[whattingawhat]

Okay. I'm hoofing it around looking for people. Let me know if you need anything.

[Or at least it would be video if it weren't for all the static, but you can probably make out a very worried-looking Mara through all the snow.]

Ay- -ave you --een --n? Whe-- -re -ou?

I am going to Ken now. We are out in the desert.

Where are you?

Mara. Stay there. I will go get Ken.
