17 - video/action for the Desert City

[firstaid]

[100% failed filter to Tyr]

[She thought she put a filter on, but in her state, she didn’t quite press the right buttons and this video gets broadcast to everyone.]

Tyr…

[Her voice is unstable, tears and sand streamed all over her face as she sniffs while letting out a few uncontrollable sobs. She’s trying to be strong for him, but it’s hard at this moment when it takes all of her energy to move, and her throat is tight and dry, making it difficult and painful to speak.]

Rita is…

[She can’t even complete the sentence before she starts crying again as she puts her hand over her mouth, accidentally inhaling some sand as she coughs.]

Rita is dead… it’s my fault… I should have been there.

[That’s all she can say before she ends the feed, unable to really face him and the guilt she feels for letting this happen.]

((ooc: confirmation of Rita's death from this post))

[Suddenly, a different voice.]

I'm helping her get back to the safe zone now.

[errandry]

Wh—okay.

[ ... ]

How far off are you guys?

[lovelydragoon]

A bit of a way, but not too far. We should be alright.

[errandry]

Got it. ... call if you need somebody to come in for a distraction or something.

[lovelydragoon]

Alright.
