This device is meant to be a means of long-distance communication. It seems remarkably impractical.

Regardless, if you leave me a 'message' I will do my best to respond.

@hexappeal, text late afternoon Day 274

[sleight_of_fate]

Hey, Cas. Just wanted to know if you were feeling any better?

@whatisthis; text

[godsspeed]

I am under my own control again. So, yes. Better.

I'm sorry for leaving you behind without warning, though after what happened to John Watson that may have been for the best. Are you okay?

[sleight_of_fate]

Yeah. After I heard about that, I didn't feel quite so bad about the whole thing.

I was pretty sick, too. I kind of figured that I was dead weight, I wound up staying in the bathroom the whole time. But I'm better now. I managed to get out a little bit today and go scavenging. How far did you get?

[godsspeed]

Not very. My wanderings when I was in that state weren't all that directed. I'm near the power plant and trying to find my way into the tunnels. I would offer to wait for you if you would like to catch up, but food is scarce here. I don't think it's a good idea to linger. Sorry.

[sleight_of_fate]

No, I get it. I'm good at moving, I'm wondering if maybe I should stock medical supplies and food and then just come back. Run supplies like Stephen said the first night.

[It's still hard, admitting he's not sure how to be any use. He definitely doesn't want to slow Cas down, which he would at this point.]

So I'm glad you're better, and maybe I'll catch up with you later, with stuff you need.

[godsspeed]

That would be a good idea. There are a few others doing supply runs, but it doesn't hurt to have more. I think there may be some coordinated efforts going on, but I'm not sure. You might want to ask the network at large.

Don't worry about me specifically. Just help wherever you can. I'll contact you if there's anything that could be found in the residential areas that would be helpful further along the spiral, though.

[sleight_of_fate]

Yeah. I'm still not sure what to do so I guess I'm going to go with what I know. Seems best.

[He's pretty fucking lost. The only good point so far is that now he actually knows how to find the grocery store, and that's something. He was in the totally wrong tunnels...]

That would be good. I think this will give me time to get more familiar with this place, too. I'll be able to move faster once I know my way around. So there's that.

I'm sorry I'm bailing on you, but it was nice having company for a while. You watch your back, okay?

[godsspeed]

There's nothing to apologize for. Thank you for traveling with me while you could. I'll be happy to stay in contact with you via these devices. Company can make enduring this place much easier.

You watch your back as well.

[sleight_of_fate]

Likewise. Check in now and then, and I'll run into you again soon, I hope.

Stay safe, man.
