I miss my Eidolons.
I wouldn't be half so scared if they were here with me now.

[ It's a video message this time, but Garnet is out of the frame. Furniture in disrepair has been pushed to the side so that the reason for her message can be seen without impediment-- hideous wallpaper, further deformed by a tear that exposes the plaster beneath, wide as a fistful and an arm's length long.
She sucks in a breath, too loud in the silence, before speaking in a tone of practiced composure. ]
Hello, everyone. I'm in a house northeast of the school right now; I'll be marking the front door when I leave. [ Yes, that would be best, she thinks. She clears her throat. ] The wallpaper... it only bothered me at first, but the more I looked at it, the more my head hurt. I wanted to look away, but I just couldn't. [ It's a sickening thought, the thrall this place possesses. ]
I thought I'd pull it off of the walls, but when I tried... [ She trails off, searching for words that will warn without causing undue alarm. ]
If you hurt it, it hurts you. [ And boy, did it hurt her. Bandages improvised from an old pillowcase are a poor substitute for white magic. ]
Oh-- I'm alright. [ Garnet finally makes an appearance, leaning into view from beside the tablet. She is facing away from the wall. With her bandaged arm under multiple layers of clothing, she is not visibly injured. Indecision flickers across her face, then she gives a little wave. ]
I'm leaving this place as soon as my message goes through. Please don't worry about me. [ She inclines her head before pulling out of the shot once more. ] And please be safe, everyone.
❖ wild card?
( Because I just realized I didn't write an action prompt. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ Go me! )
