Crap!

Persephone. Hey, with everything going on lately and my mind wandering over this latest little, uh, thing... I almost completely forgot about your request! But, um, give me about thirty minutes to finish up and I should have what you want. I did work on it. ...Just got distracted. Heheh.

So, see ya in a bit.


[forty minutes later, added:]


Persephone? Hey. Perseph!

...

...She's always around...

...

Does anyone know what's up with Persephone?

Ain't heard from her for a couple days now. Thought maybe she was just holin' up to get away from the latest crazy. I know she was gonna, when we talked on the comms right after.

But if she ain't out an' about yet...

[Cue sound of footsteps as the communicator shuts off.]

[Voice]

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

Yeah... yeah, let me know what you found out. Okay? Thanks.

[Voice]

[Some time later]

I...think she's got the same thing that happens to folk here from time to time. Where they just pass out an' can't wake for days.

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

[a silent, musing pause]

I see. Thanks for letting me know.

[Quietly, trying to hide that she's worried]

You're her friend, too.

What?

[Voice]

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

She's just asleep. She'll be okay.

[gm-kragok.livejournal.com]

Nhhgh...

She had better be.

[Voice]

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

I know. She has to be... she has to be.

[Voice]

[gm-kragok.livejournal.com]

This... is immensely frustrating.

[Voice]

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

I know. She's my friend, too. [sigh] This entire place is immensely frustrating.

[Voice]

[gm-kragok.livejournal.com]

I hate this damned place.

[Voice]

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

The real question is: who doesn't hate this place, and what the hell is wrong with them?

[Voice]

[gm-kragok.livejournal.com]

I want to kill something.

[Voice]

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Not sure I can help you there. Would be a nice stress reliever though...

[Voice]

[machines-talk.livejournal.com]

Don't know anythin' more than I said. I ain't a doctor.

...Don't know if one would even be able to tell anythin', her bein' a goddess an' all.

[Voice]

[gm-kragok.livejournal.com]

Damn it.

[needs-a-raise.livejournal.com]

Persephone? I think I spoke with her once...

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

She's the nature goddess. She's real nice. I owe her a project or two.

[needs-a-raise.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yes, that's what she said. Do you want me to find her for you?

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

It would be nice.

But, I'm pretty sure she's... just sleeping.

[needs-a-raise.livejournal.com]

Like I was...

I'll see what I can find out.

[yeah-i-can-fly.livejournal.com]

That'd be great, hu--Pepper. Thanks.

[needs-a-raise.livejournal.com]

No problem, Mr. Stark.
