This is the shittiest curse ever. If I wanted to be surrounded by sand I'd go to the beach, yeah?

[ sand in your pants is just not cool. ]

Has this ever happened before?

[ FILTERED TO SIMON BELLAMY AND NATHAN YOUNG ]

Where the fuck are you?

You're in the desert.

[ as she can see, thanks to you using video. oh yeah, alisha is the best at observing! ]

Where the fuck are you? I don't want to be in this shithole by myself.

No kidding. What was your first clue?

I think I'm near my flat. I went out looking this morning and couldn't find my way back again. Where are you?

In some - [ airquote ] "safe zone" [ end airquote and some overwhelmedsighing. ]

I don't know where the fuck my flat is. And Simon -

This isn't a regular curse.

You're going to have to be a bit more specific if you want me to be in with a chance of finding you.

[ alisha moves her camera to show him the safe zone she's in. all sand. more sand. hopefully something recognisable since there are people in this shithole. ]

Some place with shitty rooms. You should get over here. This place isn't safe.

[It looks vaguely familiar. He thinks. Maybe.]

That desperate to see me, are you?

[ she rolls her eyes. ]

I have a boyfriend. And you're - [ my friend. ugh. why are you so frustrating? ] - not my friend. We should just stick together, alright?

All right, all right. So I'll come and find you. No need to get all arsey.

I'm not fucking - [ deep breaths. count to a million missippi. ]

Be careful, yeah? Don't want you dying and I have to wait another hour for you to come back to life.

Because me dying is all about you, right?

And just for the record, it takes a little longer to come back here.

You've died here?

Yeah, loads of times.

You didn't know that?

It's not like I receive the daily City newsletter or anything. Kind of thought you would be lying low when it comes to shitting yourself when you come back to life.

It's not like I keep it quiet. Shows how much attention you pay.

And that still only happened once.

I thought you'd want something different here. I don't want to be known for my shitty power. I'm a dickhead for thinking you wanted something different for yourself, too.

Still disgusting.

That's because mine's a good power. You just don't know how to let go of the one downside.

[ she's about to say that it's not, since him not dying means the world has to put up with his bullshit, but he's got a point. ]

Honestly, you're the only one who actually has a decent power. Every other one is a piece of shit.

Except that you have to die in order to come back.

Yeah, that part I could live without.

Still, Barry's isn't too bad. Imagine all the dirt he must get up to when he knows us lot can't see him.

He's not a pervert like you.

[ not really .......... ]

You'd only abuse it.

[Nathan lets out a loud, disbelieving snort.]

And what exactly do you think he does with it?

[ okay, okay, okay

alisha is going to go into denial. ]

He saves us. We never would've found out about Sally until one of us was dead.

[ ... the other times was his smart thinking, which ... okay, wow, so not much is working in simon's favour. ]

What, so you two start shagging and all of a sudden him going psycho and killing our probation worker is a good thing?
