Nita at the bar!

To her surprise, the door was unlocked. Still is.

She'll be leaving tomorrow -- come talk to her before she does.

"Hit play."

[agirllost]

Kim puts in the earbuds and presses play. Nita's voice comes clearly.

Message for Kim. Testing? End message. Kim hears.

"It works. How do I send?"

[nita_callahan]

"Here -- you push this and this, and select this. . ." She demonstrates. "And then you speak into here. It takes a lot of memory, so you probably want to keep any messages to under two and a half minutes or so."

[agirllost]

She nods, "iPods weren't really designed to be communication devices. When are you leaving?"

[nita_callahan]

"Tomorrow morning. I wanted to let people know." She smiles ruefully.

[agirllost]

"At least we'll be able to keep in contact," she says after a moment. "I'm gonna miss you, though."

[nita_callahan]

She smiles. "I'm gonna miss you too."

[agirllost]

"Good luck out there," Somehow Nita puts things into perspective for her sometimes.

"Love you."

[nita_callahan]

Which is good, considering she just spent the last fifteen minutes trying to do exactly that.

She reaches out and gives Kim a sideways hug. "You too. And tell Chase that if he needs any help, I'll help out if I can."

[agirllost]

"I will. Be careful." She pulls her into a less sideways hug.

[nita_callahan]

She holds her for a moment, smiling a little. From your mouth to the Powers' ears. . .

Pulling back -- "I should go pack up and get some sleep."

[agirllost]

She nods, "Nita...thank you."

[nita_callahan]

She smiles. "Hey, what's family for?"

Then she hops off the stool and heads upstairs with a wave over her shoulder.

[agirllost]

She smiles in return, "Good point."

And waves goodbye.

'Please keep her safe'.
