Her eyes flew open and she sat up straight, a sheet falling off of her. "How did I get here?" she mused, frowning. Then the memories began returning.
Finding a new target, her gaze turned to the radio. As the only possible informant in the room, she began interrogating it. "What do you know?" she demanded, turning on the radio.
"...to figure out what happened, folks," someone said with a nervous chuckle. "So, um, the, uh, J.S.D.F. says to remain calm, and that power should be restored within the next two days at the most. Um. Peacekeeping forces have set up supply routes with food and water for those very few areas missing critical services. Right now, we just want to stress that, uh, everything is okay, and it doesn't, uh, seem like a lot of people are hurt."
Nabiki huffed out a puff of breath, realizing her stark nakedness, and slowly began collecting clothes, still listening to the announcer.
"Now, to recap. What we know is that some sort of ... bizarre virus ... seems to have influenced people to-- Ah! Hold on a moment, sorry, just a.... What? We ... we do? Well, okay, folks, it looks like we've got phone service back! So, can anyone call us? Anyone with, uh, an explanation for this who'd like to call in?"
There was a brief pause, as Nabiki finished folding her chosen outfit up, and drew on a bathrobe.
"Ah. Okay. So no one can call in. Um, anyway, from what we can figure--" Nabiki shut the radio off. Power shouldn't be too long in being restored, but it would be best to conserve the batteries all the same.
She paused in the hallway, shuddering at the ripped tatters of clothing scattered across the floor. "Kasumi," Nabiki mumbled under her breath, "is going to completely freak." Her dark glower found the living room deserted, which suited her for the moment. She considered the previous day, and suddenly was very grateful her father and the elder Saotome hadn't been around. Or the perverted old master. Bleah!
"Now I really need a bath," she said with a shudder.
After a cleansing scrub, she sighed in relief, and soaked in the furo. "Okay," she mumbled. "Now. A battle plan. What to do?"
