Toffee Cabin, Friday Morning
Aug. 6th, 2010 02:06 pmKarla had fallen asleep the night before before she had a chance to listen to radio (and going to bed early just meant more times to have creepy and disturbing dreams), so the first thing she did was queue up the podcast.
And listened in horror to name after name after name of missing and vanished.
"Hell's fire, Mother Night, and may the Darkness be merciful," she murmured reaching for her phone. She needed to call the other Reserves leaders right away.
Something was batting at her leg. Karla stifled a scream, preparing to look down and see another one of those giant cockroaches. "Mew?"
Rather than anything gross or creepy, Yei was there, curled up against her foot, looking almost...forlorn? "Oh, come here sweethear," Karla said, bending down to pick the kitten up. "Your Mommy never came home last night, did she?" No, Hinata had vanished with Warren according to the radio. Snuggling the kitten closer, Karla promised, "Don't worry, Yei. I'll take care of you, I promise."
She reached for her phone again. There was work to do.
