Her phone buzzed again, and she threw back another reply. It was kind of nice to be hearing from someone else, even if it was the ghost ghoul on her team from the Trials. Katarina Everard Text to Imryn: ours r midl of teh dy. its owtsd n 2 ht. hd 2 wlk arnd teh dzrt.The Reaper had loved the beach for the Famine Trial, but here, it was just all sand, no ocean, and she felt like she never got it all out of her boots at the end.

Alex had stayed focused on the phone, waiting almost impatiently for the reply that he was waiting to get. Something was obviously wrong. Why else would Yin be messaging him at this time? He was so worried, and scared, and anxious and just...why did this have to be happening now, when Yin was too far away? When he was missing the weremantis so much as it was? A reply finally came, accentuated by the buzzing and the accompanying chime of the phone. Alex read the message carefully, eyes grazing over the words several times before he started punching in a reply. ramenli Text to Yin: Well it is absolutely, definitely me. I will stay up and text with you all night if that's what you need. I'm sorry you are not feeling well D: We will be back together in just a few days, if that makes you feel any better...?

The return message came so much faster then Alex was expecting, and he read it and again, re-read it to make sure he was seeing things correctly before replying. ramenli Text to Yin: I'm not doing anything. I told you, I'm here for you, for whatever you need. And I'm fine, please don't worry about me. I'm ready to be back with you too. I miss you a lot, Yin. This has been even harder then I thought it would be, but it's just for a few more days. He didn't know what else he could say. He felt so useless at this point, and it took everything in him not to go back to the portal right that second and demand that they send him to the Isle of Conquest. Yin was sick. Sick enough that he was waking up in the middle of the night to send him a message. It was highly unusual, and it made the zomboil extremely nervous.

More moments passed, but Alex was not about to go anywhere, and not just because it was the middle of the night. It could have been anytime of day, and as long as the option was available to the zomboil, he would much rather be here, doing this, then anything else. Yin wanted him to just talk? He could do that...or at least, as close as he could get with texting. ramenli Of course! Well, you know by now what I told you about the things we are learning. Cooking is probably not my strongest point, but I'm giving it my all, regardless. Maybe I can try and make you something when we get back to Amity? I'd like to give it a try. I think three more days, possibly four and we should be finished. And yes, I texted my mom.... the texts went on and on, dragging on until morning came and either Alex or Yin had to quit to go and do their own thing for the day. Alex still felt the entire conversation, combined with the time of night, had been highly unusual, and he could not help but feel uneasy even as he sent his final text to say goodbye for the day. He pushed himself up from his seat, shuffling over towards Reiko to give her back her phone, thanking her again for the inconvenience, though a troubled expression continued to crease his features. If he hadn't been thinking about Yin all day everyday before, he was certainly doing so now.

And now she was running out of small talk... she still had things she specifically wanted to talk to the ghost ghoul about, but they weren't really things she could text her over. So she sat for a bit, staring at her phone, trying to think of how to put what she wanted to say. Katarina Everard Text to Imryn: did u fnd the weird rm? wan2tlk w/u bout it wen we gt bkMitzi was sure that if Imryn had seen it, she would know what the Reaper was talking about.

The Horsemen had mentioned that they'd be up all night with some sort of thing for the class, so Mitzi decided to go to sleep and look for Imryn's answer when she woke up. As it turned out, they were woken and ushered out before she had a chance to check texts, so she checked it when she got back in the morning. Katarina Everard ya s& evrywhr. sun w%d b 9s f nt so ht. & n/m 2 do She'd also been a bit hoping all week to hear from Roch, so she finally decided to text him instead. to Roch Text to Roch: hws ur cls goin? w@ islnd r u on?

Given that they got back to the dorm late enough to be early, she hadn't actually expected a quick response from the punk boil. So she had been about to exhaustedly crawl into her own bed when her phone buzzed. She blinked at it a few times, before grabbing it and pulling up the text. Roch Conquest. It's... interesting. Miss the hammocks, though. She grinned to see it was Roch, and tapped out a reply. Ice Queen w@ cls? c&#xki;n hre. minis 8 it thn atakd Then she lay back in her bed, and she managed to stay awake a minute or so to see if he'd get back to her. If not for the teruu bite on her arm throbbing slightly, she probably wouldn't have lasted past her head hitting the pillow. So she was already asleep by the time her phone buzzed again, and she was far too dead to the world to notice it. A little later, a niggling idea that there was something she was supposed to be doing finally roused her, at least partway. She saw her phone blinking next to her, and picked it up. The fact that there was a text startled her awake. She'd meant to wait for a response! But the one word reply left her just as stumped as her own text had left Roch. Even though no one else at Amityville used chatspeak that she had seen, it had never quite clicked for her that others might have trouble with it when she used it. She finally decided she must not have been clear enough on what happened. Ice Queen w@ we c&#xkd; ws 4 minis, aftr dey 8 it sum atakd us This time she was actually still awake when the new text came through, and she frowned at it. This was not at all the sort of response she had expected. Roch That's good, I guess? I'm gonna go back to sleep now. Don't die, k? It sounded like he hadn't even really read her text. Well, he clearly didn't want to hear from her right now, so she turned off her phone and left it beside her bedding. It took her rather longer than she had expected to get back to sleep, and she stared at the ceiling, her brow furrowed as she tried to figure out what it meant.

Alex had stumbled back to the dorm, sore and feeling less then happy about the evenings events. He had only gotten a little bit hurt, from when the teruu had bitten into his shoulder, but that pain had pretty much already faded. As soon as he entered the communal dorms, there was a familiar chiming and vibration in his pocket, and he frowned, reaching in to pull it out. He glanced at the screen, seeing that it was a text from Yin, one that appeared to have been written quite quickly since the other boil didn't even bother to space out his words. He tapped in a reply, not sure if the other boil would even still be awake. ramenli Text to Yin: I'm here. Everything alright? Last day of classes! Get to be together again soon, right?

The reply from Yin came much faster then he thought he would, so when the phone buzzed and chimed in his hand, he blinked down at it before tapping out a quick reply. ramenli Text to Yin: I'm fine I promise. We just had a late night class, It was a little intense, I got bit on the shoulder but it doesn't even hurt anymore. Now seriously, what's wrong?

Alex had shambled over towards his makeshift bed as he waited for the reply from his boilfriend, forehead furrowed in concern. The reply came just as he eased his way down to the floor, his gaze locked on the screen. He read it quickly and shook his head slightly, his lips pressed in a firm line. Yin had never had trouble sleeping like this that he had ever seen. Perhaps the other boil was just feeling slightly anxious because of their separation but.... Yin just did not seem like the anxious type. He quickly tapped in a new reply. ramenli text to yin: it's really fine, please don't worry. We'll see each other again soon. I'm looking forward to it! You still not feeling well or are you just excited to see me?
