stone phone, mid afternoon on August 8th
[He's far, far too tired to be his normal silly self, as he addresses all his fellow islanders via... rock. It would be inappropriate, anyway.]
Buenas tardes, everyone.
[Ha ha yeah right, is anyone having a good day? Anyone??]
We found a couple pages of another diary out on Umui. It's not a good idea for me to come all the way back, so I'm going to read it out loud. Ready?
[He pauses for a moment before he starts to read, slowly and carefully. At least he has a nice speaking voice?]
That's all I can make out. But, hey, while I'm here... what if this is a curse, not a disease? That could be why those doctors couldn't find a cure. They were going at it the wrong way.
Most of you have been around longer than me, and some of you are more, ah, magically inclined than I am. Maybe it's something you can look into.

[Muffet's tone is poisonously sweet. Like the flower of a toxic plant.]
My, it seems I've been misunderstood- you sound as though I'm trying to trick you into something. I just thought that you might save me some time spent looking for you. I'm on Umui already, after all, so it would just be ridiculous for me not to visit you.
no subject
He's tired. Very tired. Why do you have to do this, Muffet? There's none of his usual humor in his voice. Weary old words.]
Look, I'm trying not to spread whatever it is to others. So--[Hang on. She's already on Umui?]
Are you feeling okay?
no subject
[She's not trying to hide it- there's a reason she hasn't left Umui either, not since Arum-25 began making their ominous announcements. Her tone is brisk and her voice is smooth, with only the very slightest whisper of hoarseness to it that might suggest a recent cough. You wouldn't notice it, if you weren't paying very close attention.]
So no, I suppose I'm not- but I suspect I'm feeling quite a bit better than you are, right now.
no subject
Dying friends. It never gets any easier.]
You don't know that. But I'm a long ways off from the mana pool, so... let's rest for now. I'll be there sometime tomorrow.
You just take it easy.
[Look at Héctor, trying to be the responsible one and tell her what to do! When has that ever worked out for him?]
no subject
[It's a bit of a non sequitur, this odd little admission in an offhand tone.]
It was never more than a hobby, but I enjoyed it for quite some time, when I was young and still had the time to spare for it.
[Her voice firms.]
It's why I know what someone trying to walk on an injured leg looks like. If one of us is going to be traveling, it should be me.
no subject
Ehh, the dead don't really feel p--[A strangled noise escapes him, cutting him off and proving that's a big fat lie. He can handle constant pain, it's just part of his existence. Unexpected sharp shooting pains, not so much.
It takes a moment before he trusts himself to speak again.]
I'll have to travel back either way, arañita.
no subject
Meet me halfway, at least. There's no need to put yourself through any more pain than necessary.
no subject
I'm too tall for you to be carrying me around. It'll look dumb. More like a drag than a carry.
We can probably wrap this unless you want to do more with it.
she should see his flowers tho if you want to be cruel
My feet are still going to be dragging on the ground, admit it.
Well, she'll be seeing them in the other thread anyway...

[Pity it didn't work. Magic bridges can't be fooled as easily as people.]
no subject
[That part's new to her.]
