[The warm hiss of white noise is just part of being in the ruins--but at some point, when it's getting a little darker, a voice comes through.]
Yes. Pardon. This is Ruth.
[You know, if the stuttery little words at the start didn't clue you in.]
We had thank you an idea--see if we can reason yes, reason with this place. That... [A crackle of static.] Sorry. You saw the empty spot, didn't you? Sorry. Yes. I think...I think it's something.
But going...yes. I'm, uh. I'm not gonna pardon, won't be in my body. And after all the other stuff yes, pardon I tried to do here...it might not agree with me. Sorry. Might need people to keep an eye out. No.
Sorry. No. So if anyone's interested...

You really think that'll be worth— whatever else happens? [She was sick before. Still? He doesn't really have a concept of how much worse that can get, but he usually just assumes things will always get much worse as a default.] Even if you get shit-all out of it?
[Again: half aggressive skepticism, half real curiosity.]
no subject
[Said another way, that'd probably be funny, but Ruth's solemn. (The humor isn't lost on her, but this isn't someone she knows well.)]
It's pardon. It's better'n not knowing.
no subject
[He picks up the thread of humor, a little wry. Some secrets are meant to be kept.
But, then, some rocks need to be kicked over, too.]
Got a plan, at least? Safe place to do it, people to mind the doors?
no subject
[I think it'll be safe. And if it isn't, it isn't. In the history of terrible plans presented by X-Men, Ruth's pretty sure this is nowhere near the top five.]
Not a lot no of doors here, though. Sorry. Just green stuff.
no subject
[The green place, which is as good a name as anyone can give it, he guesses.]
There's beasties crawling around out there. Outside what was already crawling around, I guess. [Besides the shadows, he means.] You need a perimeter, I can help with that.
[Some people are determined to do stupid things. That's just a fact of life. And if it gets him new information, well— he'd feel worse about it if he wasn't there to help, anyway.]
