_{[At first all the screen shows is darkness until something sparks and pops somewhere presumably off-screen. For a split second, Kimblee actually looks surprised, but not for the reasons those who know him would think.]}

...Well, that was rude. I was starting to enjoy that film.

_{[There's some fumbling before he enables the backlight to the SFC and shines it around the living room, and the television. Whatever happened to it when the power went out, it sure doesn't look like it's going to work when it comes back on.

Especially since it seems to be... smoking?]}

Oh dear... That's not good now, is it? No, of course not. _{[He's mostly just talking to himself at the moment.

And then he starts tapping the SFC]}

Mustang, two things;

One, I believe we'll need a new television.
Two, I don't suppose we have any kerosene lanterns or some candles hidden somewhere in the house?

Right. Apologies, it slipped my mind. _{[Not really.]}

To everyone else in the city, is this one of those infamous curses I've heard about, or just a power shortage? I'm leaning towards the latter but one can't be too sure with how this world works.

Anyway. Roy, as I was saying, I think we'll need a new television.

[There were benefits after all it seemed to being blind. One being the lack of power and thus lighting didn't actually affect him much beyond the fact the appliances were no longer working.

He had already moved to head for the living room when he got the message, so instead of replying via the SFC he just finished heading for the living room.]

That's one thing, what's the other? You said there was two things.

[Hayner was trapped in the elevator between bubble and Island. Thankfully it came with a view of the sea you traveled through, but he still probably won't be helping himself to small spaces any time soon. Another thing to add to the list of what Vatheon made him wary of. He was sitting down in a corner kind of drumming against his lap. A towel was laid across his shoulders.]

I now know how it feels like to be a sardine. Maaaaaan does this blow. [He turned the SFC so it'll show the fish instead.] Was on my way to the Island for an evening swim when it hit. Some luck, huh?

but what could have caused this kind of power shortage?

Is a power shortage a normal thing around here, either?

My money would be on a power shortage.

Curses tend to be far stranger than a loss of electricity.
