Dude they swiped me for some stupid-- show. It sucked.

[ uncertainly; ]

Are you mad?

[a little incredulity bleeding through the honest relief]

--At you? Only if you volunteered to disappear without a trace. You--you're good.

[pauses]

What... What'd they make you do?

[ honestly relieved: ]

... okay.

And um. It was fine, I think. Just some stupid... monster game show. Nothing really happened, it was mostly tiring.

Are... you okay? Dia told me there was a game.

Yeah... The one where you end up like--in somebody. Your people okay?

Edited 2020-02-27 05:22 (UTC)

Dia's spooked, but she's okay...

I, uh. I think I was put in one-- right before I got back. Hurricane's...?

...You fought the invaders?

... yeah. It wasn't, uh...

...

I was pretty badass, anyway. Saved that Baritones chick and totally murdered that fucker that tortured you two. Felt good to like... be able to do somethin'. I guess.

...That--guy was in there...?

Yeah. Way down a dark tunnel. Baritones girl went down there and Hurricane came to find me for help to get her out.

Tunnels...?

[starts over]

--Are you okay? Did he hurt you?

No-- no, like-- a dark hallway. Uh, sorry, I shoulda been more specific...

He only got like, one hit on me. I whooped his butt real good.

Ah... Well—good, I guess... if you’re okay...

... yeah, baby. I'm okay.

I missed you.

Yeah?

[Winces at how insecure that must sound]

--Uh, I mean. Guess it's been a few days since you saw anybody, so.

[ not... really sure how to take that, as a whole... but she makes a small noise in her throat, voice quiet. ]

... I mean, that too, but that's not really the same? I missed you.

Oh,

[lets out a breath; takes a new one a little easier]

Are you— I mean, you wanna come over? Or...go somewhere?

[ quiet for a moment. ]

... can I? See you.

Yeah. If you want, you don't have to.

But I can meet you someplace, or you can come here.

I want to.

[ a pause ]

I-- I'll be there in a few minutes... at the balcony.

Okay. ...See you then.

Yeah-- see you.

[ Hesitates a moment before hanging up.

and true to her word, a few minutes later she's floating up to the balcony, peeking over the edge. ]

[Nemesis is sat at in front of the fire pit, knee drawn up and expression distant. She gets to her feet when she notices Requiem, however]

Hey.

[ perks up a little when she sees her-- mostly she just looks kind of tired-- and crosses over the balcony, floating in to settle in midair near her. ]

Hey... you okay?

You're the one who went from kidnapped to scary soul town. How are you?

[ she's quiet for a second, raising a hand to the spot over where her heart would be-- then aborts the motion, shifting to rub at her neck instead. ]

It wasn't that bad. Feels like it's time for a day off, I guess.

And it wasn't that scary.
