iris hated being the bearer of bad news, the one who tapped into reason and logic. she preferred whimsical, but that had gone out the window. replaced with lunacy at this rate. she took a moment to stare at the blatant wrongness of luca's place in this state, like maybe that would be the thing that transitioned things from numbing to real. if homes in this kinda neighbourhood had fallen, she hated to think what hers, or hazel's, could look like by now. she suppressed a snort, because this surpassed fucked - this was fucked getting fucked and then hit by an asteroid or something just as colossal. still, she was glad when luca agreed, since she really didn't want to have to fight her on this. she just let luca speak, watched her. iris considered the woman to be some kind of super-human, but anyone who had seen their old home reduced to that with their family potentially caught in the chaos deserved a little extra attention, in her humble opinion. she found herself nodding, mentally tacking on an hour to make it three just in case. all things considered, it was their best bet. "sounds good." her voice was quieter than it usually was. being boisterous just seemed wrong. then she shook her head. "no, not yet." because that yet was important, especially since locking and unlocking her phone didn't seem to be doing anything to make communication happen faster. hazel, andy. anyone. "we'll leave, right? like, drive up the road to check our phones or whatever?" @sowickcd
