The ideas were great, but Rhett had a point. None of them were really in the best shape for driving.

They'd been walking this whole time. Jan Di looks over casually as she hears the knocking in the window. Considering who she's dating, that sort of excitability was something she'd gotten used to a bit. But the moment she remembers the whole part about they don't know who made it out, her expression turn to another relieved smile when she notices it's Eric.

"As charming as ever," she drawls, waving him in. Another one to add to the list of positive things. Relief eased the tension a fraction as the magic man made his appearance. "Don't worry, it's a small group so far," she assured Rhett with the ease of someone being certain the sun woudl come out after the rain. Even if it wasn't the most pleasant thing to think about, but Rhett can have a shiny star since he's right.

He felt a weight lift off his heart seeing more of them could be confirmed alive and mostly well. Making his way into the cafe he'd plop down in a seat at the table with a stupidly happy grin.

Savaak nods at Jan Di's remark. She's not wrong...and it also helps to not think of hte friends she has that are probably missing still. There were people she still wanted to find. Thankfully, some of them were here now. "For sure." She chuckles and grins at Rhett's wink. "Glad to see you, magic man." And in one piece. It was warming to see a good sign.

He tried to wave Jan Di's words away. "But it's tight spaces and I just needed some time to breathe away from the group." There was only so much time he could spend in a motel room with everyone. Not that he wasn't happy to see everyone, but close quarters were close. "It's really good to see you too. Really." He gave them a small smile. "Is it just you guys though? Or do you guys have a group holed up somewhere too?" Back to Top   Eric Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

Most of them. Savaak shoots Eric a curious look when he mentions knowing where more are.

Maybe a little more?" He tried to do a mental head count going over who he had seen, and who Josh had talked about. "Josh could probably tell you everyone though. He was the one to pick me back up from the airport since my plan didn't work. So he seems to be the one in contact with the higher ups." Or whatever was left of the central organization. He honestly didn't know how spread out the damage was. Back to Top   Eric Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

She can't help but smile more. "Well, glad he's taking responsibility and rounding you all up, too." Maybe a bit better than Rhett and she were, but to be fair, he had a head start.

Savaak's grin returns at the mention of Josh, along with the memory of a certain squirrel. Though, the fact that this was Rhett...she'd held the thought in before when she introduced herself, but damn, Jan Di. You go, girl. "A half dozen sounds like a good start. We may want to keep an eye on the airport, though. Maybe others had the same trouble."

Until something else could be found. Savaak sounds like she expects that to happen somehow. Her lips purse slightly as she tries to think of something else they could do, but shakes her head after a moment. It's not like they have much. She snorted and rolled her eyes at Rhett's comment. It sounded suspiciously like a laugh. "The best airport buddy ever."

But it said Portal Boy, which means he got ahold of someone with communication equipment since I got stranded at the vault." He nodded at Savaak. "More than one preferably. Though our funding is probably limited right now. So I don't know what options we really have..." He hesitated on that last bit. He felt like he should talk to Faust, he could do a lot of good for Paradigm and everyone right now. And while he hadn't found a way to not cause problems with his powers yet. Surely Faust had. Right? Back to Top   Eric Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

Jan Di shrugs. "If Josh does indeed have communication with the higher ups, then it'll just be a matter of them telling us when to send someone to meet them at the airport." They probably had more to worry about than that, right now. "But you're right on the funding. I mean I've got some money saved up, but I can't say pooling our cash together would be something we can live off of. But Paradigm's had a lot of supporters, right? Or people affiliated with us. Just gotta figure out who's rich and sappy or generous enough to help house and feed us. For a while." Back to Top   Rhett Shaffer Mentor Intelligence ....Hey yo.

Savaak a thoughtful hum as she ran some numbers through her mind. "Well, I know I have some savings. It's not going to get us anything super posh, but I could probably get more from my family." Despite Wilbur's appearance, Savaak did come from a family with money. Maybe it would be enough to help. RIP Wilbur.
