Seriously? [Now she sounds more like her old self.] I mean, I guess that explains a lot, but...wow. That's why some of us didn't get that sick, we weren't as used to having the drugs around like the others were. You were right, Sonia, it really was because of the move, just like you guessed.
...Well, they, um, accepted the terms that were put forth by the majority. I do not know the fate of the scientists who were given back as yet, but...
The terms that were agreed to were as follows: plumbing and electricity within our housing blocks, small deliveries of medicine and food, the..."Pyramid Head" creature staying only by the convenience store - which makes it harder to sneak in there, but at least he's not...everywhere.
[ That was all Sonia had wanted to show the other girl, so she switches functions as well, slipping the coin back into her pocket. ]
That...creature seems to be staying directly outside of the convenience store. It has not moved, and does not seem inclined to give chase, though it would assuredly attack any who felt like trying to enter the store or attacking it.
[There's stunned, hurt silence on Korra's end before she forces herself to speak a couple seconds later.]
So basically... [A whisper is all she can manage right now.] You guys asked for that in exchange for the hostages. And Yao Corp gave in because they can afford to. Or maybe [She laughs, low and strangled.] Pyramid Head bothering us didn't even mean anything to them in the first place.
It didn't matter what he was doing.
That's--[Her inhale of air comes in shuddering gulps.] I...I have to go. Thanks for checking up on me.
[and click, she hangs up. She can't deal with this right now.]
(ooc: should I set our log thing to right after this?)
[ Sonia's a little startled and worried at that. And really, she had voted to keep the hostages, on the basis that...well, handing them over to die wasn't something she could do, and she had been legitimately startled when any demands were met.
That reaction spoke of something more than just being upset about the exchange, though she's not sure...why. Clearly she's going to have to seek Korra out later, at some point. ]

[Korra falls silent for a second.] So, what now?

Oh, and one further thing.

I am told this is "Dr. Kite's head".

At least they'll the plumbing and electricity now. Food and medicine are always welcome and...that's when the rest of it really hits.]
What--that part about Pyramid Head, can you say that again?
[Korra can hear her voice shaking, and she hates it, but she has to know.]
