[Nakama looks pale and very poorly rested. There's no getting around it. Her hair is down and messy, and there are gigantic bags under her eyes. When she speaks, her voice is hoarse, as if she might have been crying.]

Um... Claudia is gone... she must have disappeared while everything was dark. I'm sorry to everyone she was close with - I didn't know her really well, but she was always kind to me, and I'll miss her.

But - this probably means that Rose Blush will close, right? And I was just wondering if anyone would consider setting up a similar business? [She looks uncomfortable talking about this on the network, but it's too important to let her old issues scare her away.] It's... really important, and someone should be there to do it. I know it's not for everyone, but if someone would do it, I'd help you however I could.

Oh, and if you don't know what Rose Blush is - or was - don't worry. This is only really for the people who knew about it. [No awkward questions from youngsters, she hopes.]

[He was about to ask what Rose Bush was when she said to not ask. So now he has the feed on and is not sure what to say.]

Th' Italian lady?

Yeah, that's right. Really beautiful, always dressed nicely. [Her voice is cracking a little. My last connection to my mother.] Did you know her well?

[He takes a minute to consider the question, and then shakes his head.] Trained togeth'r. [She had known him before he left and came back younger, too.]

[ They are both poorly rested, it would seem. Even if Morgana had slept for days and days, she feels more tired than she had ever felt. She tried not to sleep much since, too worried of dreams and curses.

But for Nakama, she forgets her issues. ]

Have you slept at all?

[There's definitely some sadness on this end. She liked Claudia, once she got over her initial wariness.]

Are you going to open a new place? I dunno if Lila and her friends will want to move.

Claudia's gone? [That's...sad to know. The woman was always kind to him, even from the very start.]

I'm afraid I cannot help you run a replacement establishment, but if you need assistance moving or other similar tasks, I'd be glad to lend a hand.

Oh. [She blinks in surprise. Claudia had promised to keep her women safe, but Nakama didn't know she meant personally.] She was a fighter?

Morgana... [She looks a bit guilty, being seen in such a state by her.] I try, but... I just end up having nightmares. It's easier to stay awake.

Um - I don't know if I could do it alone. I want them to have somewhere to go, though.

[There's a brief moment of wondering about how Rue knows about this, but she's grown up fast, too. Maybe prostitution was common in their world.]

No, I wouldn't ask it of you. [It wouldn't be quite right for a male to do it.] Thank you, though, that's really nice. If I find someone else who's willing, I'll let you know.

M'ght have been. [Though that was not what they trained, he would not put it past the woman to have been proficient with some kind of weapon, probably something easy to hide - she kind of seemed the person for it. Maybe that's just his ideas about Italian women speaking, though.]

Powers, though.

Oh, I see. What power did she have? [All these little things she didn't know.]

[Someone sounds exhausted, but hasn't quite gotten his memories of the night's happenings yet.]

...How long has she been gone?

I don't know... I just checked on everyone I knew this morning when it wasn't dark anymore. I... I guess I don't totally trust the gods to bring back everyone who dies.

- I don't know if she died, though. It could just be a coincidence.

Pow'r transfer.

[and guess who is still on level 1 and thus very very awkward about his power, so Claudia and Larry giving him a push into the right direction was direly needed...]

That's a little bit like Energy Lending, isn't it? I could help you out now, if you want...

[She has no time to be adding extra training, but she's vulnerable right now. Someone could probably get anything out of her.]

'm fine. Thanks.

[He has no reason to assume that he'll need it anytime soon, anyway.]

Okay, if you're sure... what's your name?

Sweden.

Oh, you're one of the countries! I've talked to a lot of you. They've all been really understanding about explaining how your world works.

Th' keep leaving.

[Those that she knew might well not be around anymore. ...well, maybe only those that he is close to or knows from back home keep leaving, but still.]

Oh - I'm sorry - it's hard when people you know leave. Do you still have some friends here, at least?

[The voice on the other end was a little haggard, but intact. Samantha had, debatably, managed to escape some of the worst of the last week, but she'd had her share of damage taken and refused aid to an extent so far. She was going, but slowly. Claudia disappearing, however, was something she noticed. They had never spoken, but the woman's existence was something of which she was at least aware.]

That's a little sad, actually. I agree with you. Someone should probably be around to at least make sure that ... let's just say that things stay smooth and fair, to avoid it getting ugly. That sort of thing can get ugly at times.

I'm not the person to handle it, though. We both know my problems, and I don't think I'd trust myself in that situation with a ten-foot pole. Hopefully someone else steps up.

Exactly. They need someone to protect them, and to treat them with respect and dignity. [Her voice is impassioned as she talks about this, deeply earnest.] I understand why you can't, though. I appreciate the thought.

Yeah, not really awkward or anything, but I figure I'm doing them a favor by keeping my distance. If you weren't so young, I'd almost suggest you try your hand, but it's real early to ask you to get into the business of running a place like that. You should get to have your childhood, at least a little.
