Vontell shakes his head gently.

@okios: It's a fair idea, it would be worth a try. But it might turn out to be futile, with all things considered. Most citizens have been without any form of power... Magic users have been able to muster up enough energy to charge some small devices like phones, but not everyone is skilled enough to harness that power. Val may be able to, but she is also siphoning all power towards the battery. Hm...

Vontell slips his phone out of his pocket, showing that he does have a charge. He taps to call Valentina, bringing it to his ear. Waiting, he receives no answer, letting out a disappointed sigh.

As I suspected. There's something else you should know about Val. When she is in 'work mode', she often tunes everything else out. Even if she did have a charge, she more than likely is ignoring us. How else do you think she's missed this black out for so long? *laughs warmly, shaking his head* If we wish to speak to her, we'll have to confront her ourselves.
