RYUJI - TEAM 1

[ryuji]

[If you need to yell at your meat shields, Ryuji's your dude]

@BUCKET

[lefthandfree]

Where the hell are you guys? None of you have come back yet and supplies are running out.

[ryuji]

Dude, ran into some complications over here!

[lefthandfree]

Do you mean the kidnapping stuff? Because yeah. We all heard. But we still need supplies back here.

[ryuji]

Beside that, yo

They took out a bunch of our supplies.

So uh. If you want a clean bandage and a sprig of rosemary, I guess that's the best I can do for you

[lefthandfree]

[SOUNDS FAKE...]

...seriously?

[ryuji]

So that's a no on the rosemary?

[lefthandfree]

[Ryuji...]

What happened exactly? Can you tell me that at least? We’re running in the dark here.

[ryuji]

Fuck, it was horrible

We got caught in a firefight. We lost most of the supplies. There was too much to move and we were bein tailed.

It's BULLSHIT. So much has happened since then. The radios, tryin to reach out to the French, the kidnappings. It's like all our fucking luck ran out at once

[lefthandfree]

Wait, you were TAILED? How? I thought the plan was covert.

Are you okay?

[ryuji]

You think I'm okay!?

Fuck

We messed up

No, I aint okay

[lefthandfree]

[Concerned mode engage!!]

Are you free to talk right now? Have you guys regrouped?

[ryuji]

Yeah, we're kinda just sitting ducks at this point. All clear on the comm link front.

[lefthandfree]

Just your team? Or the others too?
I can see if we can spare reinforcements from here, but chances are slim.

I'm here, if you need to talk. Haven’t been on the ball lately, but I know this mission hasn’t been easy on anyone. Worried about you though.]

[ryuji]

We're all kinda just getting ready to contact the French at this point. We got some real smart people over here, puttin together radios and shit.

Even if we didn't get the supplies secured, we're gonna go and escort these dudes to get to the ships and make sure they come out alright

I mean, I'm alright. It's nothin I can't get power through, yknow?

[lefthandfree]

[It’s better than nothing. And at least they’re safe again, even if some people got nabbed in the process. They don't really have the resources to spare from the tunnels anyhow. Time to hope and pray. Or whatever.]

You can be alright and still not okay, you know. Easy to power through because you have to, but the rest of you can still be in shambles whenever you’re done.

[ryuji]

I'm goin with the latter, then. Man, I'm so freakin tired, and tired of bein tired. I just want this shit to be over

[So he can sleep for a month straight. Or, just have some time to cry over all the people that have died or gone missing over the last month.

This mission?

Yeah, fuck this mission.]
