[ This is going to have to be text for now, not just because it's easier, but because she is one unhappy fish. Not that text is going to help much, but it's a start. Some of her friends are missing, and she has no idea what their fate is. It's hard to not imagine the worst... ]

Yeah, so. This mission just went from lame to really freakin' lame. Before we go running all around looking for whoever's gone missing, we need to figure out who's still here. Check in, find your friends, find out who's missing. If you know someone's lost their jewelry, this is the place to let everyone know they're alive. I don't care if you don't want to talk to me, or just want to tell me the bomb didn't work or whatever, as long as the team knows you're not... gone.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the big island seems like safest place right now. If you can get here, do it now. If you can't, ask for help.

still here still super pissed, what the FUCK kind of storm was that

[kikoku]

a hurricane possibly
storms like that are common on the open sea

I have my doubts that it's a seasonal storm. It seems to have caught us all off guard.

The natives would have been much more prepared.

[aspearation]

Hell if I know! Whatever it is, it should be glad I can't punch it!!

Oh, thank goodness you're alright...

[ she spares a moment to let out a breath of relief, but it hardly does much to calm her nerves.

this next bit, she says to the rest of the network. to whomever's left that can hear her: ]

And if... If anyone requires any healing, please don't hesitate to let me know...!

[Law looks about as under the weather as he did when he talked to Olivia the first time a few days ago. It's possible that it's just how his face looks.]

How much of your healing ability do you have left?
[They should probably consolidate people with medical abilities, he thinks.]

[ ...alright. She likes Olivia enough to go video. She looks so tired though; not the same tired as when her magic was being drained, but a very different kind of tired. The kind that just wants to lay down for a very long time. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am. ...Papyrus is missing, though. I can't get through to him.

why the fuck shouldn't we!

[ ah there it is, just for you ]

we just need a boat that's less shitty than the nalawi boats around here, they can't be that hard to make

Text; un: Silk

[blacksilk]

There are benefits and disadvantages to taking that course of action at this point.

Myself, I don't like the idea of a team being split in such a staggering way. Groups tend to possess advantage in numbers.

[aspearation]

[ She is so done with fighting people over... pretty much everything. It's gotten her straight into no-nonsense mode, and fast. ]

Look, buddy. All I'm saying is we take a headcount, and do what we can. If they're out there somewhere, they might need our help, and I'm not about to kick back and forget about my friends. If you've got better things to do, go do them.

text ; un: tsukuyo

[sekimorinashi]

We shouldn't run after them blind, but we should try to find them one way or another.

If they're out there at all, I'm sure they're fine on their own for a while.

video | un: drdeath

[kikoku]

Honestly, you should expect a fair few to be missing after a storm like this.
[He pauses the continue wringing water out of an indiscernible mound of fur (it was at hat... at some point.) Law himself looks pretty drenched too, black hair slicked flat and mussed up where he's pushed it out of his face.]

Even a small crew would be lucky to all end up in the same place under these conditions.

[ She's not up for video right now, but... she'll compromise. She just doesn't want anyone seeing how hopelessly frustrated she is with this whole entire mission. ]

I didn't say I didn't expect it. That doesn't change the fact that a huge part of our team is missing. If we can find even a few of them, it'll be worth it.

I—I'm here, but has anyone seen Mabel anywhere? I can't get a hold of her at all!

[nooooo not!son 8(]

I'm heading down to the beach with someone to investigate. I'll let you know if I find her.

text, @shepherd

[historiology]

This is a good idea. I'm not sure who might have got separated with all this. Oh, I'm Sorey! For anyone that hasn't met me yet. I guess I seem to have got the hang of using these.

But I hope everyone's okay. If the big Island seems safest, that's where we should all meet up while we figure out who is here and what is going on. What supplies and skills we all have together, if the Nalawi are okay.

[aspearation]

I don't think a lot of the Nalawi...

Everyone was worried about the stupid volcano. No one thought about another storm.

text @ sakurakinomoto

[keystaff]

Is everyone okay? We probably should try figure meeting and then we can see who is here and what we can do to try find the others, if some of us were separated. And our powers....none of my magic seems to be working right now. But I'll do my best!

Ah, if anyone knows what happened to Graham-san, I have Brother here too.

so.
adding one person to the missing persons list there.

The hell're you talking about--gone?

un: hb

[hellshaped]

I've got Ninat, but no Kida. Whatever that was seems to have been very selective to leave pets behind.

[aspearation]

The storm we arrived in was different, wasn't it? Unless the only people who were lost didn't have anyone around to miss them...

[ There had been some new recruits in the mix, after the first storm had settled. If they'd lost some and hadn't even noticed... ]

text; un. hawkeye

[strictdiscipline]

I've tried to locate some of the missing persons using the location function on our jewelry but they aren't showing up on the map anywhere. It's possible that there's some sort of interference or they were separated from their jewelry during the storm.

[Nobody freak out that they're dead or anything, please.]

Text; un: Silk

[blacksilk]

It hasn't been too long since the end of the storm.

If they're incapacitated, they may work to initiate contact at a later time or date. The timing of this storm can be a number of things, but primarily it's inconvenient.

Do you suppose the storm is an effect of our interference or a coincidence?

[Chrollo could think of a number of reasons. Island-goers would typically be able to tell which time of year they would have massive hurricanes. The Nalawi would have expected it a bit more. Instead, it caught everyone off guard.

Storms were never anything new, but it was all an issue of 'current events'. They were, after all, dealing with the supernatural and various deities.]

Voice | UN: ANIKI

[dokyuu]

Still here. That was a hell of a mess, though, and I've seen a lot of storms.

voice

[aspearation]

Yeah... yeah it was.

[ What else can she even add to that? "A mess" is right, and she's created her fair share of them. ]

All we can do now is clean up and keep going forward. I mean, it's not like we can backwards anyway? Unless ALASTAIR wants to help us out again.

Another one for the still here crowd.

Oi, if anyone sees Peridot around let me know, alright? I think she might have gone and got herself storm-napped too...

[aspearation]

Peridot? Oh... that loud green kid?

[ The one with the giant robot. Right. Not Undyne's favorite recruit, but if Ran's worried, then she'll be worried too, for the both of them. ]

Hey, she'll be alright. Wherever they all are, Papyrus is with them!

[Text | un: tsukuyo]

[sekimorinashi]

It's strange that there's no signal or anything. Makes me think they're more than just lost. Something weird's going on here.

text; un. hawkeye

[strictdiscipline]

The last two times we lost signal were both due to magical interference of some sort. It's a possibility that there's something outside of normal natural disasters going on.
