Jo gets the supplies ready 14:21 

Gracie coughs and stays in the tiny cave she found. It's raining and she's caught a cold, so her traveling has been postponed for a bit. She sets up the audio recording thingy on her watch. 14:23 

Jo packes everything securely in a waterproof pack 14:24 

Jo shoulders the pack and walks to the treehouse 14:24 

Gracie coughs again and then clears her throat. 14:24 

Blazie joined the chat 14:25 

Andrea sits on the couch and sips her hot chocolate, staring at the ceiling 14:25 

Blazie turns into a kitten and crawls into Gracie's lap. 14:25 

Jo knocks on the treehouse door 14:25 

Andrea jumps when she hears a knock on the door and she groans as she gets up to answer it 14:26 

Andrea opens the door, "Oh, hey Jo." 14:26 

Jo: Hey Andrea, can I come in for a little while? 14:27 

Andrea: Sure. 14:27 

Gracie starts recording and says, "Um, hi, Andrea. I'm sending this to you because I figured you needed this most. Although, please let the boys hear this too. It's Gracie. I miss you all a lot. By now, unless something happened to her, Caitlyn should be with you guys. Make her feel at home, okay? There was this earthquake and we kind of got separated, but I was able to tell her that I'm heading to D7. I just ... I feel like I need to go back and get some things straightened out.... I'll be home as soon as it's done. I miss you and love you all. Stay safe." 14:27 

Gracie stops the recording and takes a deep breath before sending it. 14:28 

Blazie cuddles up. 14:28 

Jo: Thanks 14:28 

Jo walks inside and sets the pack down 14:29 

Andrea closes the door and takes a sip of from her mug, "So what's up?" 14:29 

Gracie pets Blazie until he begins to purr. Then she looks through her backpack and counts her crackers before eating one of them. 14:29 

Jo: I'm making a supply thing for Gracie in case she's running low. I was wondering if you wanted to send anything 14:29 

Andrea: Send anything... How do you do that? 14:30 

Blazie goes to the entrance of the rain and hisses at it. 14:31 

Jo: Magic 14:31 

Andrea half smiles, "Um let me think about it..." 14:31 

Gracie wonders if Blazie would die if water touched him, but she doesn't think so. Either way, she isn't going to test it. 14:31 

Gracie: Blazie, come back here. 14:31 

Jo: Okay, let me know as soon as you can. I wanted to send it asap in case she's out of supplies 14:32 

Blazie hisses at the water again and runs back to Gracie, leaping into her lap. 14:32 

Andrea: Okay.. 14:32 

Andrea: What are you sending her? 14:33 

Jo: Food, extra knives, one of the thermal blankets, matches, iodine, a big bottle of fresh water, and some chocolate 14:34 

Andrea nods and feels her watch vibrate on her wrist and she glances at it 14:35 

Gracie checks her watch and wonders if she should send any messages to anyone in specific, but she doesn't really think anyone would care... 14:35 

Jo sees Andrea glance at her watch "Did it do something?" 14:36 

Andrea: Hey, what's it mean when the watch vibrates? 14:36 

Gracie pets Blazie and closes her eyes, resting her head back against the wall of the cave. 14:36 

Blazie purs again. 14:36 

Jo: That means someone sent you an audio message 14:36 

Jo presses a button on the side of the watch to activate the message 14:36 

Andrea flinches when she hears Gracie's voice play out of the watch 14:37 

Andrea gulps as she listens to the message and it finishes 14:38 

Annnna joined the chat 14:39 

Jo: We should send her a note 14:39 

Gracie thinks maybe Brendan would like a message or maybe Chris would, but she falls asleep before she can think about it further. 14:39 

Andrea nods, "Can I write it?" 14:39 

Jo: Of course 14:39 

Blazie stays in Gracie's lap and watches the rain until he falls asleep too. 14:40 

Andrea wipes a couple tears from her eyes and turns away from Jo to find some paper and a pen 14:40 

Jo goes to the kitchen 14:44 

Jo makes oreo stuff 14:44 

Andrea sighs and sits down with a piece of paper and a pen 14:45 

Jo makes one for Andrea 14:45 

Andrea writes, "Dear Gracie," and then stops, staring at the paper 14:46 

Jo sits on the couch 14:49 

Andrea sighs and writes, "We miss you so much Gracie, I hope you can get home soon. It's been a wreck here without you, not to mention no one has had the best of meals, I really need some cookies. Everything is out of sorts and everyone misses you. Caitlyn has been back for three days now. Everyone is trying their best to stay strong, but you better get your butt back her as soon as possible. Please don't do anything that you would regret and try to stay safe. Also, Cameron went after you, he left a note saying he was going to try to find you, I don't know if he is with you or not, but be careful. Please come home soon, with love your best friends." 14:54 

Jo: Done? 14:55 

Andrea: Yeah.. 14:55 

Jo opens the pack 14:56 

Gracie grumbles in her sleep, and lies down, almost squishing Blazie in the process. 14:56 

Jo: Okay! We can send this stuff now 14:56 

Blazie wakes up and gets out of Gracie's way. Then he gets on her back and falls asleep again. 14:56 

Jo puts Andrea's note in the pack and readies her watch 14:58 

Andrea watches 14:58 

Jo closes up the pack and sends it to Gracie. Whoosh! Like magic! 14:58
