Cid:Damn, this is going to take some time.
Dax:Where are we anyway?
Wedge:I know this place....this is where I grew up!
Dax:Is everyone accounted for?
Cara:Everyone except Erin
Dax looks around and sees Erin on the floor. She has passed out
Dax:Erin?! Erin, speak to me!!! Kathy!! Get here!!!
Kathy runs up to Dax and Erin.
Kathy:She has passed out....but not by a concusion. Maybe it is stress.
Dax:She's alive?!
Kathy:Yes, she is alive
Dax looks Kathy straight in the eyes.
Dax:Phew, that's good I guess!
The two companions stare...there is a long awkward silence.....
Cid:I've an idea. Me Barry and Mog stay here and repair the ship!
Wedge:We'll go to Windine, my home town. The folks there should greet us with open arms!
Dax:Okay then, me Wedge and [choose party member] will head for Windine, the rest help Cid and serch for parts.
~~World Map~~
The journey is long, but a secret Chocobo Forest can be found to make life easier.
~~At Windine~~
Wedge:We'll take Erin to the clinic first, then look around the town.
Dax:Sounds fair
But a woman's scream is heard...
Wedge:Auntie May!!!
Wedge runs up to where he heard the voice.
Wedge:What's going on?!
Dax and [member] run up to help out.
Dax:Don't tell me Hades got this place as well!!
~~Aunt May's house~~
Satanic Knight:Die bitch!
May:Please, just tell me what you want!
Knight:Nothing you have could be of any value. Insted you shall die.
May:Noooo, mercy!!!
The knight draws his sword and slashed May's chest open. She dies. Bloody seeps from her wound.
Wedge enters
Wedge:Aunt May....
The knight turns around. He has black armor with gold engravings. A large helmet with tiny holes for visablitlty.
Knight:Hmph, who are you?
Wedge:You killed her you sick bastard!!
Dax and [member] enter, followed by 2 more knights
Wedge:What is going on?
Dax:Let's just finish em off!
~~Battle theme~~

WTF FF? You're totally ruining Biggs... he's getting over-used and he's supposed to be a comedy character...
Anyway, back to the story (ignores FF's post...)
~~@ Aunt May's House~~
*beat Knights*
Dax: Who the hell where those guys?
Wedge: Aunt May... damn you! I'm gonna hunt you bastards down!
Dax: How many people are we all going to hunt down and kill every last one of them? It seems to be all we ever do... oh well...
...
...
Wait! This one's still alive! Who the hell are you!
Dying Soldier: I... I'm a warrior of Apoc... sent to hunt you down...
Wedge: Dax, leave him to me... get Erin to a medic, now!
*Dax slings Erin ver his houlder and runs out*
Wedge: Now it's just you and me... *Wedge grins evilly*
~~In the streets of Windine~~
*Dax hears muffled screams behind him*
Dax: Servers the bastard right...
*sprints to infirmary*
Dax: Medic! Can somebody help us please?!
*Medics rush over quickly and take Erin from Dax*
Medic 1: Don't worry, we can take care of her...
*Dax slumps down in a chair and falls asleep*
~~Later that day~~
Wedge: Wake up Dax, the medics are back...
Dax: Hunh?! They're back? How is Erin? Where is she? I gotta see her now!
Wedge: Hey man, just calm down... she's fine, they've just got her resting in bed. Follow me, I'll take you to her... she's been asking for you...

Back to the story...
Erin: Dax!
Dax: So what happened?
Erin: I...uh...got hurt. Dryad had to heal me, so she basically hit the shutdown switch. Sorry if I scared you.
Dax: So long as you're all right.
Erin: Dax?
Dax: Hm?
Erin: You wanna know my secret? The 'skeleton in my closet?'
Dax: What?
Erin: I've wanted to tell you this for a long time. Dax, I....I love you. I always have. I mean.....oh, I don't know why I'm even bothering. All I am to you is just a little sister. I....*sob*
Dax: Shhh... Don't cry.
Erin: So...?
Dax: this is pretty heavy. Let me think on it. Okay? this isn't just a simple little question. It's....confusing. Okay?
~~~Meanwhile~~~
Cara: Brittney?
Brittney: Yeah?
Cara: About the other night. I...uh...
Brittney: Don't worry. i won't say anything to anyone else.
*Enter Mog*
Mog: WOO-HOO! Kupo, you two were GREAT last night! Doing an encore soon?
Cara: I say we hurt him.
Brittney: Lots.
*They tackle and start beating Mog*
Mog: Hey! Ow! Not the hair!
-
~~~Back at Dax~~~
Dax: *I don't know what to say... will I admit that I love her...* Erin...
Erin: Yes...
Dax: I love you to... as a sister...
Erin: ...
Erin got up and ran over the nearest door... She's weeping while crying...
Dax: Erin WAIT!
-
Kathy: What did you say to her?!
Dax: I..I don't know! All I know is she jumped me with this question. "Do you love me?" I don't know how to answer that. I've never been faced with a question like that.
Kathy: Maybe, you should go and, I don't know, apologize?
~~On a small ridge~~
*Erin is looking at a sunset overlooking the ocean*
Dax: Erin!
Erin: Ohhh...
Dax: Erin, look. I'm sorry...
Erin: Look, you don't have to apologize. I was a fool for thinking you ever had any feelings for me.
Dax: No. The thing is, I don't KNOW how I feel about you. On one hand, I've known you so long, you're like a sister to me. On the other hand....
Erin: What?
Dax: On the other hand, I...think I love you too.
Erin:*tear* That's all I asked. I won't push. you have to make this decision on your own. Just be sure to let me know when you do make up your mind.
~~At the airship~~
Cid: It's done! So where to, boss?
Dax: Well...
-
OK, I've sussed the ideas for Dax, Erin, Wedge, Cara and Cid, but I haven't got a clue about Kathy, Mog and Jez...
=============
Dax: Well... who wants to be next?
Mog: (very bruised) Kupo? I thought Erin was next?
Dax: Well, I.. uh... we're putting that one on hold for the moment...
Mog: Kupoppo?! Oh well...
Cid: How about we just go looking for more treasure so you guys can pay me?
Dax: Well, if no-one else is volunteering, we might as well...
Wedge: How about hunting down those bastards we met in Windine... I got quite a bit of info out of the one who was still living...
Dax: What the hell did you do the guy anyway? I could hear the screams from down the street!
Wedge: Just a few interrogation tips I learned from being in the Hades Empire...
*Cara's face turns white*
Dax: Cara, you know something about this?
Cara: I learnt those techniques myself, they're... not exactly nice, shall I say? Anyway, what did you find out Wedge?
Wedge: Well, they were members of the Order of Apoc, and they're led by some dude called the Master. Dunno what his real name is, but it doesn't matter...
Cara: *whispers* Xiang Lei...
Dax: Wat was that?
Cara: His name is Xiang Lei... he once hired me for a job when I was very young... I still remember her, she was my first target...
Dax: She?
Cara: Yes... she... I... it still haunts me to this day... The look of fear on her face as she turned and ran away... I just threw the shuriken, and hit her in the back of her head... she just dropped like a stone *chokes backa cry*
Dax: *grips his sword-hilt very tight, so tight his knuckles go white* What.. was... her name?
Cara: *looks up and meets Dax's eyes, which are strained with rage* Cristiana...
Dax: *howls* DAMN YOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! *draws his sword and leaps at Cara, slashing downwards, but Brittney tackles him to the ground*
Brittney: DON'T YOU smurfING DARE TOUCH HER! SHE'S DONE A HELL OF A LOT OF THINGS SHE REGRETS BUT SHE CAN'T TAKE THEM BACK SO GET OVER IT!
Cara: You don't have to worry Brittney... if he wants to kill me, so be it... I'll take whatever he decides is best. I offer my life to you Dax, do with it as you may...
Brittney: NO! YOU CAN'T! DON'T DO THIS TO ME! *turns to Dax* IF YOU TOUCH HER, I'LL smurfING KILL YOU!
Dax: ... Why the hell shouldn't I?
Brittney: ... Be--
Cara: *whispers to Brittney* It's alright, you don't have to tell him
Brittney: Yes I do if I want to save your life... *turns to Dax* you can't kill Cara because I love her and she loves me
Dax: Yo.. you what?! You're making this up!
Mog: Kupo! No they're kupoppoing not! I watched them two nights ago! Why d'ya think I'm all bruised like this?
Dax: They're smurfing lesbians?! Eep!
Barry: Jeez! You don't like moogles and you don't like lesbians... what kind of person are you?
Dax: Me, that's what... and I'm still going to kill her!
*in a flash of light, the Aikido Angel appears*
AA: Stop right there Dax! You WILL not harm Cara... she is one of the chosen ones such as yourself!
Dax: Whatyagonnado? Stop me? The only way you're gonna do that is by killing me! *charges at Cara, but AA flashes a light out, snaring Dax, knocking him to the floor*
Erin: Listen to me Dax, Cara is not the one to blame for this, Xiang Lei is! He's the one who hired her, he's the one who told her to kill Cristiana, he's the one to blame for all of this! If you want to kill someone, kill him, not Cara!
AA: Listen to Erin, she is right. Cara is not the one you should seek vengeance against, it should be the Master
Dax: .. I guess that makes sense, but I still don't forgive you Cara!
Cara: *nods* How can I expect you to forgive me, when I can't even forgive myself?
Brittney: *whispers* I forgive you Cara...
-
Actually, we kinda forgot about Jez....
==========================
Dax: So where do we find this "Master?"
Cara: He's near the city Neon, in a dormant volcano.
Cid: All right, enough yappin'! Let's go!
~~~In the Apocalypse Sanctuary (HEY, that has a nice ring to it!)~~~
Voice: STOP!
Dax: Aack!
Voice: You shall go no further. The master decreed so.
Dax: Who are you? Show yourself, you cowards!
Barry: I...sense Akidos. Very near.
Second voice: Closer than you think.
*They step into the light*
First Akido: I am Thor, the thunder god.
Second Akido: I am Uller, lord of ice.
Third Akido: And I am Agni, ruler of the flame.

Xiang Lei: So you've come. My dark lord warned me of your arrival.
Trey: Y-you were warned?! You expected us?! (Not good.)
Xiang Lei: Yes. I've been watching you for some time. Ah, Cara. You've led these fools here at last. Now kill them. I grow weary of this.
Cara: Wrong, bitch. I'm on their side now.
Xiang Lei: Ah, a traitor. Then you shall die with them.
Dax: NO! You're MINE!
*What comes next...?:p *
-
(Dammit, you didn't save any love scenes for me!! *dies*)
Anyway,
~~In a galaxy far far away~~
Giant Head:For the crime of being completly gay and developing other people's plot twists, we find you...GUILTY!
Head#2:GUILTY!
Head#3:GUILTY!
Head#4:GUILTY!
Final Freak is sentanced to spend the rest of his years in a sheet of glass floating around in space....
=======================
Main game
Voice:STOP!
Xiang Lei:m-m-master?
The Master:Fuh huh huh, leave them here.
Xiang:But they invaded our domain! They killed our Aikidos!!
The Master:As I expected them too.
Xiang:?!
The Master:Please, treat them as our guests!
Xiang:If you so wish it Master...
Xiang leaves, confused....
Dax:What is the meaning of this?!
The Master:Dax, please follow me. We have much to discuss.
Two of the same knights appear.
The Master:Take these fine people to their....accomodations. But leave the boy.
Erin:DAAAX!!!
The group reluctantly go to the prisons, except for Dax
The Master:At last, we meet. Come, this way.
Dax wants to go elsewhere, but finds himself following the strange man
They walk down a corridor. Along the way monks bow to the Master, but he insists that they rise.
Exventually they reach a door with a Hex on it. The Master mutters something, and the door opens. Along another room, then another Hex. The Master casts the same spell.
Dax:What is the point of this tour of yours?
The Master:You shall soon see.
The Master picks up an unlit oil lamp and lights it with magic. The two go down a dark stepcase.
The finally reach a large door. The Master clasps something around his neck and pulls it forward, revealing a key in the shape of a skull.
The Master:This key was crafted by the worlds greatest sorcerers. It cannot be duplicated.
The Master places the key within the lock, and an uninteresting click is heard. He pushed the door aside and reveals a well lit room. On the walls are large decorative cloths, and the entire room is scripted in gold design. In the center of this room is a wooden stand. On the stand is a large thick book.
The Master:My dear boy, do you know what that is?
Dax:I don't know, and I don't care.
The Master:Fuh huh huh, knowledge is the root of all power my boy. Take heed and listen.
Dax is knocked back, but listens...
The Master:That book is the true Bible, the original copy. It is based completly on fact!
Dax:What are you getting at?
The Master:The Bible as you know it is a faerie tale, a myth. The great Apocalypse didn't want the likes of you to take this book. So he wrote another, a fake. He gave it to a man and told him it was the work of god. The fool belived him!
Dax:How do you know all this?
The Master:Hmm...a bright young boy, I was just getting to that. The great Apocalypse gave one man and one alone the power to read this book. That was 2000 years ago! And I was that man!
Dax:You're 2000 years old? Pull the other one!
The Master:Indeed, it is a tall tale! But a true one my boy. And when he arises, he shall scorch the land, all will be destroyed! And I shall stand beside him and become the ruler of the new world, a world of his teaching!! And the Chaos God will finally DIE!!!
Dax was taken back by the Master's insanitiy
Dax:Why are you telling me this?
The Master:Because Chapter 19, verse 3, paragraph 4....
"When the one destined to defeat the Chaos God arrives in the hands of Apocalypse, two fates are destined. One, he will banquesh the Chaos God. Either that, or he will be sacrificed to me, and I shall torch the earth once again".
Dax:Wha?!
The Master:That's right child, tonight you will be sacrificed!!
Dax:No!!
The Master waves his hand over Dax's face and he falls into a deep slumber.
The Master:Fuh huh huh, and your friend will be watching! For they too will be the first to die!
The Master casts a spell on Dax, and he levitates behind Dax. The accend the stairs, to Dax's doom....
-
(I thought the Master WAS Xiang Lei... BLARG! Oh well, I'll go your way Cloud, it's a hell of a lot better)
=================
*Dax and the Master ascend the stairs to find the guards lying on the floor, dead and the party standing over them*
Master: What the hell? Y... you defeated them? How dare you! You will pay for violating my sanctuary!
~~FFSupreme Boss Music~~
Boss: Master (Holy)
Party: Erin (B), Trey (F), Barry (B)
*Party win and the spell holding Dax breaks, dropping him to the floor*
Master: Dammit! You can't kill me that easily though... 2000 years teaches you a few tricks! *is warped out of the Apocalypse Sanctuary*
Erin: Where the hell was Cara during all that?
~~Elsewhere in the Apocalypse Sanctuary~~
Cara: Xiang? Where are you? I'm coming for you now!
*Cara runs around the corner and bumps into Xiang who's looking for a place to hide*
Cara: Face your fate like a man Xiang... you twisted me... you destroyed who I was and turned my heart to stone... now is the time for your comeuppance... Bring it on old man!
Xiang: Dammit! Well, here goes...
==FFSupreme Boss Music~~
Boss: Xiang (None)
Party: Cara (F)
*Cara wins and stands over Xiang*
Cara: *seething* I should kill you old man, but that would make me no better than what I was before... and I'm not that person anymore*
*an aura surrounds Cara, filling her with light; gains Aikido Mord Sith and takes her ultimate form (sounds like something out of Pokemon! Eeugh!)*
Cara: I... I feel cleansed!
*there's a lengthy pause*
Cara: However, there is someone here who might just want a quiet word with you...
*drags Xiang along behind her to where the party is*
Cara: Dax, I brought you a present!
Dax: Hmm... if he hurt you so much, why didn't YOU kill him?
Cara: That would be murder, and I don't do that anymore...
Dax: And you think I do?
Cara: No, it's not that... you were so upset when you found out I killed Crisiana, In thought you may want some private time with the man who hired me...
Dax: I suppose so...
-
Dax: haha
Dax looks at Xiang very naughty...
Dax: I think I need something to be settled with Xiang... Hey Cara wanna come?
Cara: Nevermind... That look in your eyes remind me of planning something... something bad.
Dax: Hey shh... don't speak like that, remember we have a honorable guess *looks at Xiang*
Xiang: huh? *I have a bad feeling about this... and I don't like how that man looked at me*
Dax huhuhahahuhuhaha
Cara: Are you going insane!
Dax No! hmm Xiang, Xiang, Xiang...
Dax held up his hand to cast a fireball
Dax: Have this!
Xiang: agh...
Dax: So that was fun! haha
Cara: Dax... *looks like bring Xiang here was a bad idea... I think Dax is getting crazy*
Dax: Can I have a moment with our visitor... IN PRIVATE!
Cara: But Dax...
Dax looked at Cara, with his eyes insecurely.
Cara: ok ok fine, I've got it...
Dax: Good...
Dax tuned back with Xiang...
Cara: Dax, wait...
Dax looked back.
Cara: By the way, can you do me a favor and don't look at me like that again!
-
The Master (Xiang):So, my dear boy. What do you intend to do now?
Dax:Heh heh, I'm gonna make you suffer! You're going to feel pain you've never felt before!! Then you'll feel pain greater than that!!
The Master:Quite right. I've been quite bad. It is most deserving.
Dax:Heh heh, you may act cool now, but soon you'll scream!! HAhaAhHaHA!!
The Master:Yes, I'm sure I will.
Dax:Quiet fool!!
The Master:How much does hurting me mean to you?
Dax:Oh, it means the world!! You're gonna feel pain! painpainpainpainpainpainpainpainpain!!!!!!PAIN!
The Master:You seem very sure of yourself on that note.
Dax:Ain't you scared?! I bet you are! Soon it will show!
The Master simply turns his head and stares at Dax.
The Master:My dear boy, untie me please.
Dax:Huh?
The Master:Cut me loose.
Dax pulls out his sword and cuts the rope.
The Master stands up and brushed himself off
The Master:Thank you my boy. Now I think I'll be leaving. So many things to prepare. Good day!
The Master strolls down the corridor, humming in his gruff voice.
A couple of minutes later, the gang come around the corner. Dax is motionless...
Erin:Dax?! Where is he?! What happened?!
Dax:I....let him lose...
Erin:Dax?! I'm scared! What's going on?
Dax:I....the Master wished it.
Kathy:Oh no, it seems this was all part of the Master's plan!
Trey:Damn that smurf ass!
Erin:Dax, please!! Snap out of it!
Kathy:Everyone, stand back!
Everyone does so.
Kathy steps up to Dax and turns his head to the side. She puts her lips to his and they kiss. A bright white light appears around them, and it appears Dax is healed. His arms and legs begin to show signs of life. But they still kiss, and they get deaper and deaper. Erin mearly stands, god smacked.
Dax puts his hands around Kathy's face, and they get closer.
Barry sniggers in the background, but Cara kicks him in the shin.
Finally, Erin finds words...
Erin:What the smurf?!
Dax forced himself to stop. He never heard sweet Erin swear before.
Erin:Get off of him you bitch, what have you done to him?!
Kathy:It was the only way. I had to use a love spell. It is the only thing that supresses...
Erin:My arse it is!! You god damn bitch, I'll kill you!!
And in true Jerry Springer fashion, both girls grab ahold of each other's hair.
Again, Barry sniggers, but Cara is too busy trying to prise the two women from each other!
~~Outside~~
Wraith:What is your bidding master?
The Master:Just kill them all. I have to further purpose for them
Wraith:It shall be done sire!
The Wraith grabs his scythe and enters the monestary. Walking down the plains are the monks, and the Master in a Chocobo pulled cart. On the back of the cart is the Jar with the eye in the center. The Jar that sealed Apocalypse for all these years.
~~Inside~~
As the girls continue to fight, the Wraith draws nearer, ready to murder each and every one of them...
-
(OK, now I'm REALLY confused... at first Xiang Lei and the Master were the same people, then they weren't, and now they are again... WTF?!)
=======================
~~Inside~~
Cara: I give up... let those two beat the crap out of each other!
*Cara hears a sniggering and kicks Barry in the shins again*
Barry: Ow! That wasn't me!
Cara: Hunh?! Who the hell was it then?
*Cara and Barry turn around, and come face-to-face with Wraith's scythe... they simultaneously duck*
Barry: FFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Everyone whirls around and stare at Wraith except for Erin and Kathy who are still fighting, Mog who is watching them whilst eating some popcorn and Dax who is still under the love spell and is trying to help Kathy*
~~FF Supreme Boss Music (Far too many bosses recently...)~~
Boss: Wraith (Pure)
Party: Cara (F), Barry (B), Trey(F), Cid (B),
*Party wins*
Trey: Damn, we gotta get after ther Master! But we can't leave these 4 like this!
Barry: We can't? *Trey glares at him* OK, I can fix Dax at least... *Barry casts Dispel on Dax, removing the love spell*
*There's a long pause with only the sound of Kathy and Erin still fighting*
Trey: Do ya think we oughta tell them we removed the love spell?
Cid: Naw, let's just wait for them to get tired out... they need to get it out of their system...
Barry: Plus we get to watch 'em duke it out... lots of fun!
*Brittney and Cara glare at Barry*
Barry: Hey, there point were perfectly valid... it's just my reason is a bit more personal... meh!
-
~~A little later~~~
*Dax is holding Kathy back, Trey is holding Erin back. Both are struggling to get at each other.*
Trey: Now we're going to sit down....and talk this out ...like civilized human BEINGS!
*Everyone stares at Trey, who has never gotten angry before*
Trey: GOD! I mean, the fate of the world hangs in the friggin' balance here, and the best thing you guys do is start a petty squabble! Now, Erin, Kathy I want you to shake hands and talk this out. CIVILIZED!!!!!
~~~Much later~~~
Dax: now come on! We have work to do.
Barry: Hold on. You have some sort of spell on you. I don't know what. Even I couldn't break it. We need to seek professional help.
Cid: Okay, uhmm...lets see.....Strong Sorcerers....AH! Let's go to Ferris! ANY place with a church that big MUST have an exorcist.
Kathy: Yes, they do! Lets go!
-
~~Somewhere Unknown to the player~~
An Elite runs down a metal corridor, almost as though his life depended on it....
The Elite burst through two double doors
Elite:Em..per....or....Tov....art....it's.....finished!!
Tovart:Excellent, we teleport to the moon imediatly!
Biggs comes from around the corner.
Tovart:You are incharge while we prepare....
We zoom into Tovart's eyes
Tovart:....the Hades Death Ray!!!
Biggs:As you wish!
Tovart steps into the other room. We hear a loud sound, a bright light (This is Tov teleporting to the moon)
Biggs:Time to show those fools what I'm really made of!
Biggs grabs a small bag from the table
Biggs:Even if I lose this time, the Grand Undead Dragon will crush those twerps!! Fwah haaa haaa!
(Crap I know, but I was forced to reply!)
-
~~Meanwhile, in Ferris~~
Kathy: Come on. We must get to the chrch. I think Dax is slipping back.
Dax:.......ma-
Erin: *Slaps him* Knock it off!
Dax: Wha-?
~~Enter the Church~~
Priest: Kathy, it's good to see you again.
Kathy: Yea, but now is not the time for pleasantries. I need you to perform an exorcism on this man *Wedge thrusts Dax forward*
Priest: Hmmmm. Yes, I do sense a dark presence in him. One moment.
*Priest begins chanting. Soon White sparks are entering Dax's body, while black ones are leaving, when suddenly a dark phantom emerges*
Wraith: NO!!! I will not let you have him!
~~Fight Wraith(darkness)~~
Weak vs. Holy, Fire
Absorbs Shadow, Poison
EXTREMELY high evade
Wedge(B), Erin(F), Kathy(B), Barry(B)
*Beat Wraith and Dax slumps over*
Priest: He needs rest. Leave him.
~~Later that evening~~
Erin: *alone* Is Trey right? Have I let Dax become more important than....well everything? No, impossible. But...
Trey: *enters* Couldn't sleep?
Erin: Wha? Oh, no, I couldn't.
Trey: By the way, sorry.
Erin: What?
Trey: I'm sorry for getting mad at you and Kathy like that. It's just.....
Erin: Just what?
Trey: *sighs* I don't like seeing people fight over something as trivial as that. Not that Dax is trivial, but if Dax loves Kathy, then there's nothing you can do...
Erin: *grumbles* Jeez, thanks.
Trey: On the other hand, if he loves you...
Erin: Well, there IS a possibility. Thanks. I needed that.
Trey: *suddenly smiling* No problem.
~~That morning~~
Barry: You okay, Dax?
Dax: Uhhhhh.....feels like a train hit me, but other than that....
Barry: At least that spook left you. Man, that was f---ing creepy.
Dax: Well THAT makes me feel better.
Barry: Hey, no problem!
Dax: So is everyone waiting...?
Barry: Yeah. Erin was really worried. Maybe you should go see her.
