10:26: [Kiki] I think I almost died.
10:29: [Kiki] I was putting away some stuff I found. The wind was really loud. The door blew open and this insane sandstorm raged into the lobby. I couldn’t see and couldn’t really breathe. Something in there cut my cheek. I ran to the stairwell but the basement was compromised so I went up where it was more sheltered. At the seventh floor the whole building shook. Sand came blasting in from the east and more stuff hit me. I kept climbing because I didn’t know what else to do. The last couple floors I had to scale the building frame. I made it above the storm and I’m here now.
10:31: [Kiki] I’m not doing well. I’ve got a bad bruise on my side and a bone shard got stuck in my arm. I don’t even know where it’s from. It’s probably filthy. I only have half a bottle of water and a backpack. I think everything else will be destroyed. I worked so hard to get all of it and now it’s just gone and I’m going to die of infection next week if I don’t die of thirst. I’ll probably never see my family again.
10:32: [Kiki] I’m really scared and I don’t know what to do. The storm’s still going.
10:40: [Kiki] Sorry about the rambling I’m really stressed. I hope all of you are okay.

13:18: [Gaunt] just hang in there for a bit. i have stuff. i can help u out when i get there
13:19: [Kiki] I’m not in immediate danger. I’m also a lot calmer now lol. Being in high open spaces helps me chill out.
13:19: [Kiki] I’m glad you’re doing alright.
13:22: [Kiki] Also, Lyre, thank you. I don’t know if you knew but your text might have saved me. I was planning on exploring today, but I changed my mind because of what you said.

13:27: [Spike] I nearly got fried by some molten metal
13:27: [Spike] It was pretty scary
13:29: [Gaunt] holy shit

August 13, 2029, 19:01
19:01: [Kiki] Okay has anyone else seen the huge wall to the south? I saw it when I was up at the top of the skyscraper. It’s ridiculously tall. I don’t know how I missed it before.
19:02: [Kiki] Also more of my stuff survived than I thought. Still not much though. I just ate the last of my food. And don’t have much more water. I treated my wounds with some fancy whisky lol.
19:02: [Spike] No i havent seen it
August 13, 2029, 20:11
20:11: [Gaunt] wait what???
20:11: [Gaunt] how tall
20:12: [Gaunt] where is it
20:12: [Gaunt] im only like 8km from the skyscraper and i can see that how tall is this wall??
20:12: [Gaunt] where is it?
20:16: [Kiki] It’s like 2km tall. I’m not exaggerating. It’s south of the skyscraper. You should be able to see it very easily.
20:16: [Kiki] Also you’re pretty close. What does the area around you look like? I might be able to come get you now.
20:18: [Gaunt] bro wtf thats taller than the skyscraper what are u on
20:19: [Gaunt] im in a starbucks in maybe an old shopping district the sign is broken outside the k has folded over almost exactly in half and it looks like the mascot is crying now theres not a whole lot around
20:20: [Kiki] I know where that is! I can come get you tomorrow but I don’t have much medical supplies so I might not be a lot of help. I saw a pharmacy while I was up high. Do you want me to go straight to you or look for supplies there first?
20:20: [Lyre] You’re welcome!
20:21: [Lyre] Also the storm I didn’t really see it or anything but Kiki was in danger so I told her
20:23: [Gaunt] okay what how did you know are you near her or something?? Kiki you know about this
20:23: [Kiki] How did you know I was in danger? (And no she isn’t near me as far as I can tell)
20:23: [Gaunt] also kiki thats ok i have stuff do whatever
20:24: [Lyre] I saw it
20:24: [Gaunt] how tho
20:24: [Spike] Are you able to see through or track the phones
20:25: [Lyre] No, I don’t think so
20:25: [Gaunt] you dont think so??? you dont know????
20:26: [Gaunt] okay nvm wait. how come you didnt say anything to the rest of us it sounds like we all got hit
20:28: [Lyre] Only Kiki was in danger
20:28: [Spike] I nearly got fried
20:29: [Gaunt] ????
20:30: [Gaunt] bro i almost got eaten but okay
20:32: [Gaunt] okay whatever doesnt matter. kiki if you can meet me soon do you guys think the rest of us should meet up too
20:32: [Gaunt] Lyre already knows where you are Spike so we might as well right
20:35: [Kiki] I stepped away for like ten minutes what????? Anyways I’m down to meet. I do want to get more stuff first. Gaunt I’ll come get you the day after tomorrow. Hopefully with antibiotics and stuff.
20:35: [Lyre] No we can’t because of the big wall
20:35: [Gaunt] good cu then i have stuff too if u need anything
20:35: [Lyre] Kiki Gaunt and Spike Lyre have to meet first
20:36: [Kiki] Oh are you guys on the other side?
20:36: [Gaunt] Lyre I can’t even see the wall. How do you know we’re on other sides of the wall.
20:37: [Gaunt] How do you know where all of us are.
20:37: [Gaunt] Where are you?
20:37: [Spike] Lyre I was wondering whats ur plan for when we meet up
20:39: [Lyre] I saw all of you when you woke up
20:40: [Lyre] Right now I’m South of the wall in a desert
20:40: [Lyre] When we meet up I don’t know what we’ll do because I can’t see that far but we’re going to probably go to the other side of the wall and meet Kiki Gaunt and then I don’t know
20:41: [Kiki] Okay sounds good to me.
20:43: [Spike] Okay
20:51: [Gaunt] okay Kiki let’s keep the plan the same. I’ll meet you tomorrow or whenever you can. I’ll keep going towards the skyscraper
20:51: [Kiki] Okay just try to go in a straight line so I can keep track.
20:53: [Gaunt] will do
20:53: [Gaunt] best of luck everyone
20:53: [Gaunt] and Lyre if there’s any danger, keep updating us
20:55: [Lyre] Okay, goodnight!
20:56: [Kiki] good night and good luck! Gaunt hopefully I’ll see you soon! :)
