we love minimalism in this house (that's why there's no furniture)

We went looking for you. Found a camp up in the hills but nothing else. There’s a river nearby, might be where he gets his water. A few hours ago we caught wind of the storm, figured we ought to prepare for the worst.

You missing anything?

[cactusy]

wait, why would you go looking for me? that was stupid, don't do that.

but no, it's weird, i still have all my stuff this time.

[ At de Guzman's insistence: ] De Guzman insisted.

[ He's trying to keep this one-sided, feed her info while minimizing what de Guzman learns, but he can't help asking: ] Is there a reason it'd take longer to come back?

[cactusy]

no clue. i don't even know how i died. bastard got me in my sleep.

where is de guzman, still with you?

[aluminumandash]

[ A slight pause for editorial adjustments. ] Yeah.

It happened at the camp? The one overlooks the cabin?

[Welp. She's nowhere near there now and she's no longer trying to covertly recon, so--]

Pretty sure we're thinking of at least the same general area, yeah. Big cliffs overlooking a tree-covered valley?

That’s the one. We went up there, saw signs of butchery but it was older. Animal.

No trace of a struggle, body being moved. Nothing like that.

[cactusy]

could be he's good with cleanup, could be something else.

[Like all of this being fake!!!]

how long were you there?

[aluminumandash]

The camp? Few hours, early afternoon. About ten hours after you vanished off the walkie.

Never known a body to up and disappear.
