Early in the morning

[cowgoesmoo]

[ Just before dawn, anyone monitoring the low-band station that Rem's transmitter is usually set to might hear the following short message from a child who is clearly trying not to panic. ]

Blades, this is Feathers-home, Feathers-home calling Blades, what's your twenty? Where are you!?

[ There's a pause of about a minute, then the message repeats three more times, and finally the transmission ends with: ]

If anyone out there knows who this is and you see my brother, tell me right away!

[ Oh, she's a bulb plant. That's even weirder! ]

Hey, you shouldn't say too much on here, about plants. It's open band, which means humans could be listening in. [ Isn't he a human though? ] Other humans. We shouldn't say too much about plants to them, 'cause they're, y'know. Mean about it.

[ He's never heard of plants and humans living together like that before though! The only plants and humans he ever sees together are all the Vashes and their gross stupid human boyfriends. This guy doesn't sound like one of those! He sounds really nice, actually! ]

You seem nice though!

Aw, let people try anything! We're tough, and we protect each other in this town, all of us, no matter what we are! You hear that, everyone eavesdropping??

[He's definitely a human, and an enthusiastic one too.

But there's a long pause, and then a cough.]

We'll be alright, it's mighty kind of you to worry though. Hey, besides that, Delphi says she'll try to set up a relay to point you in the right direction. Not sure exactly what a relay is, saying it that way, it doesn't sound like a nice running race.

[ Yeah! ...Wow! A tough human who takes care of a bulb plant, and even can talk to her? They're already friends. ]

I dunno what that is either, but tell her thank you! I'll tell R... some of the grown-ups here about it, and I bet they'll know what to do!

[ If she couldn't send the message directly because it'd go all beeps and boops, then is a relay like a relay race, maybe? Is she going to talk to the furthest away plant that she can, and have them pass the information along? Is that even possible? It'd be neat, if it worked! ]

Oh hey, what's your code name? Like I'm Feathers, except that's not really my name, right? What should I call you?
