[22:23:43] <Vanity> Ring ring. Ring ring.
[22:24:12] <Raphael> Raph picks up the phone. "Hello?"
[22:24:38] <Vanity> "Raphael." Vanity sounds a little shaken up. "H-Who is with you right now?"
[22:24:50] <Vanity> "I've got some bad news."
[22:25:23] <Raphael> "I'm... Actually by myself at the moment. Geoffrey and Speedy are with Ana, and Alphonse and Christina are headed towards Petalburg with the Electrike as far as I know. What seems to be the matter?"
[22:26:01] <Vanity> "Luther..." she pauses for a minute, you can sort of hear her chewing her lower lip, "Luther's dead, Raphael."
[22:27:06] <Raphael> "... Dead?" Raphael's tone of voice comes across as more puzzled than anything. "... How so?"
[22:28:11] <Vanity> "He was murdered, from what they can tell. In Birch's laboratory. We don't know exactly when, yet, but it was sometime in the past two days. The detective thinks that it was someone who had been there before, and his pokemon were missing."
[22:28:16] <Vanity> She pauses for a moment.
[22:28:58] <Vanity> "I'm not sure, but they might have his iPoke, too. If that's the case, then we may all be in danger."
[22:30:07] <Raphael> "... I guess I should make haste in trying to find those berries for Ana, then... At the moment she's currently not in much of any condition to move on her own thanks to the Electrike."
[22:30:59] <Vanity> "Where are you two, right now?" Vanity asks. "I have medicine, here. I can send it back."
[22:31:35] <Raphael> "Ana's currently at the shore north of Oldale. I'm just a little bit further off, headed towards the forest nearby."
[22:32:55] <Vanity> "Damn, we're all the way at the southern end of route 101. Well... good luck. I'll see what I can do from here, maybe send Benjamin back with something. What's wrong with her?"
[22:34:23] <Raphael> "I don't think sending Benjamin off will be necessary... I've got the situation handled, and I guess it'd be best to keep us from being as thinly spread as possible, even if for but a moment."
[22:34:43] <Raphael> for but a short while*
[22:34:46] <Vanity> "Wait, wait.." Vanity is addressing someone else.
[22:35:53] <Vanity> "You're right. Keep your eyes peeled, Raphael. If you see anything weird, call me, I'll pass it on to the detective." She sighs. "I've got a few more calls to make. Good skill."
[22:36:42] <Raphael> "I'll make certain to keep you informed, then, Vanity..."
[22:37:14] <Vanity> "Thank you, Raphael, for everything, especially taking care of Ana."
