[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.

voice

[hatesthefood]

No, what we need is to find each other first and foremost and make sure there's no one else out here if we can.

I do better recon at night.

voice

[redlikecrimson]

Let's start with seeing if we can find each other first. We'll work better together.

voice

[hatesthefood]

I'd ask for landmarks, but I'm betting I've got the same ones here.

Can you track my signal here?

voice

[redlikecrimson]

[He fiddles around with the device a bit to pinpoint Ken.]

I've got it. Stay put while I head that direction.

voice

[hatesthefood]

Well I'm sure as hell not going to go sightseeing.

voice

[redlikecrimson]

[He's rolling his eyes even if it can't be seen.]

Funny.

voice

[hatesthefood]

I try to be.

... huh. You'd think that if this was the City, there'd be things buried in the sand or something...

voice

[redlikecrimson]

It's hard to tell what is going on currently.

voice

[hatesthefood]

Hopefully this'll all be over at midnight.

voice

[redlikecrimson]

Whatever the case, we'll need water soon to make it through this.

voice

[hatesthefood]

One we meet up, we can start looking for it or anyone else out here.

voice

[redlikecrimson]

Keep an eye on the Network in the meantime. Someone may learn something before we do.

voice

[hatesthefood]

Got it.

voice

[redlikecrimson]

I'll be there as soon as I can.

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.

[ TEXT ]

[redlikecrimson]

I don't tend to enjoy science-fiction.

[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?
