[I.D. simply reads "Martin" now. and a Martin surely is at-hand! long time no see, network. only six-plus months long, nbd.

he looks fairly pleased and...relieved after a beat. because he's pretty sure he's figured this out.]

Hello... [his eyes wince. doubt.] Hello? [the screen tilts a little while he inspects something.]

I think this is right. It's been a long time since I've used one of these... [his stare trails away.] I took one of the new ones. I think that's alright, since mine's been gone for a long time...

[a beat. he looks back.]

Is everyone alright? Now that they're gone...

[ Ooooh yes good, there he is, now she doesn't have to hunt him down. ]

Hello! Yes, you did it right! Hi!

[theguideless]

[he smiles, giving a little wave that the screen only catches a bit of fingers of.]

Hello, Feferi!

[fintastic]

I'm glad to see that you're safe. I was worried, you know.

[theguideless]

[his head ducks a little.] I'm sorry I didn't try and talk to you sooner...but I had to stay put. [undead elf's orders.]

[fintastic]

Don't be sorry! I am just happy you did not get hurt. [ A beat, then she adds, ] You didn't, right?

[hornedomen]

I'm okay.

[He smiled at the screen to show just how okay he was.]

I think it's okay to take a new one. They gave me a new one when my old one broke.

[theguideless]

I thought so...and since nobody seemed to really ask if anyone had one already or not...

[hornedomen]

Was it difficult when you lost it? It must've been hard to see what everyone's talking about.

[theguideless]

[laughter is in his voice.] I didn't see any of it! So I didn't know much of what was going on unless I was told...

[hornedomen]

You shouldn't wait so long if it happens again. Sometimes there are important messages here. I'm sure they understand.

[boughtabookstore]

Martin. Are you all right?

[theguideless]

... [he stares at the screen for a beat, scouring it. and in finding the name to confirm, brightening.]

Roslyn...!

[boughtabookstore]

[ okay, good. ]

How are you doing?

[theguideless]

[smiling smiling smiling.] I'm just fine. I'm really happy to see you! [er,] Hear you, I mean. I didn't find you when I was looking around the place...

[boughtabookstore]

[ An amused moment and then Roslyn flicks on the video. It doesn't particularly matter one way or another. ] I've been quite occupied, I apologize. Have you settled in well?

FLUFFY!

Good to see you are okay!

[theguideless]

[he winces even though there's a smile, even a startled laugh. 'Fluffy' is just a little...you know.]

You, too, Rosette. Chrono, too...?

[acemedium]

Hello!!

I bet it's alright. There are plenty of them around, aren't they?

[theguideless]

[he looks confused for a beat. them being...]

Oh. Yes, you're probably right. If there's always one for every new person...

[acemedium]

I bet they have a whole stash!

[theguideless]

Even up here? I thought everything was sparse here.

[highbloodprince]

Who gives a shitheawin' fuck if they care, just keep the damn thing anyway.

They got more to worry about right now than the fact one paltry communicator's gone missin'.

[theguideless]

[his eyes wince, despite smiling at seeing this fishy friend.]

I was going to start asking where you were next, actually...

[highbloodprince]

Around.

I'm one a' the last people you oughta be frettin' about there Mar', I always come out on top no matter what goes down.

[Never mind the fact that wasn't the point, but still.]

I mean if anything, where you been?

[theguideless]

Oh, a– [oop. letting Eridan talk. he brushes at his bangs while he waits, blinking at the question.]

Uh, here in a room. Safe, though. I didn't see any of the monsters. You did, though? [his head tilts while his fingers stay curled in place, pulling the bangs tangled in them.] Or did you hide, too?
