Urbanite Lost, day 26. [video communication]

[The vine seems reluctant to function, focusing intermittently on different parts of the environment. As it resolves, a headless white dress shirt (collar open) appears in frame. Cue the sound of someone unseen gently clearing their throat.]

Well, this finally seems to be working.
Ah, hello. Reeve here! Though it might not be all that obvious, since I seem to be invisible at the moment. Long story short, there was an incident. With a scientific test. Not mine! But it was no one's fault, really. Just the nature of this place at work, I suppose. At any rate, here's hoping my condition won't last too terribly long.
Just to reassure everyone, I'll leave my clothes on so that I'm identifiable! No sneaking around, word of honor. Well, my hand is up. It's just impossible to see.

Just a heads up! Thank you for your time.

[She doesn't seem any more pleased by this.]

I will be there shortly. I trust I can count upon you to remain where you are.

Yes, you can. I'll stay put-- and dressed. No fear.

[She doesn't bother responding again, appearing near Reeve shortly. She examines her, although there is not much to examine at the moment, only her clothes. But there is no sign of injury, fortunately.]

You have not been careful, as I asked.

[Odd, being examined while invisible. Still, she's glad Sephiroth can't read her expression.]

Well, I wouldn't say that-- it was an accident, really! Watching a mechanic test an engine is a dangerous activity.

Normally, at least.

[For her part, Sephiroth has an "I don't have time for your excuses" expression on.]

I've told you that this place can be dangerous, and that all is not what it seems. I hope you won't object to me escorting you back to your residence. This effect seems harmless, but I prefer to be cautious.

[She sighs, fond and tired.]
Yes, I know-- and no, I don't mind. I'm almost positive the effect will wear off. But it is fascinating. Anyway, I don't regret exploring-- I can't sit indoors all day, even if things aren't what they seem. If I do eventually go back home, I would like to at least have some interesting stories to tell!

What about you? What do you think your comrades will make of all this?

I don't expect you to remain indoors. I merely expect you to be more careful. Such effects are much more likely in the vicinity of those who are making things, especially complicated objects.

[She smiles faintly, thinking of her comrades.] Most likely, I will tell them nothing. It would seem like madness to them, or like a dream I had. Perhaps I will not even remember. It is impossible to say.
