@angela.roberts - evening of the 12th

[unlucky7]

I'm engaging Ephemera in the caves, he is armed with a pistol. Do not follow, steer clear of the area.

If I do not update within an hour, prepare for the worst.

[hardwearing]

Please be careful, Angela. I know he's your friend but he's doesn't exactly see clearly when it comes to this.

Let us know you're okay.

[unlucky7]

[An hour passes with no further updates.]

[hardwearing]

[ He waits another hour, just in case, then: ]

Angela?

[unlucky7]

[Still silent. And no matter how many messages he sends, David won't get a response until closer to the evening on the 13th.

She sits with his messages for a bit. Sits with the aftermath.]

Sorry.

You and Carolina okay?

[hardwearing]

Yeah, we're lying low.

What happened? Are you okay?

[unlucky7]

I'm fine. He knocked me out.

[She's alive. Anything else is irrelevant.]

Any sign of him? Attempts at contact or threats out on the street?

[hardwearing]

No, nothing. He doesn't know where we're living, though, that's not a huge surprise.

Prepare for the worst, huh?

[unlucky7]

I'll keep you two updated if I catch sight of him again.

Tried preparing for the best once. It didn't work.

[That might have been an attempt at a joke? Maybe?]

[hardwearing]

Thank you.

We have no weapons or armor or anything, how equipped is he?

[unlucky7]

Body armor, up to four guns (three pistols and an assault rifle) though I only saw him carrying a pistol, multiple knives including a machete, an extendable baton, a nightstick, and I'm pretty sure he was making napalm.

[hardwearing]

Fuck.

[unlucky7]

Also guns don't make noise and we had extra magazines.

On the plus side, he's not going to make any moves in the day because of how obvious he'll be if he's fully armed up.

[hardwearing]

And as far as we know, he still doesn't know who I am, so I can move around pretty safely... okay.

Thank you for the update. Are you safe? With him that armed up.

[unlucky7]

I'll be fine.

[And she'd leave it at that, but Ginia replies again a few minutes later.]

Sounds like someone talked Ephemera down.

[hardwearing]

[ Wash's message takes a moment, as he confers with Carolina. ]

I don't know the guy, but seems like it. He told Carolina to wait so I guess we'll hold off until we hear from... any of you guys. Keep working on what we're going to say, heh.

Thank you, Angela.
