[Tiffany is sitting at her kitchen table, the remains of her famine-induced validation rampage evident around her - her apartment looks messier and more cluttered than usual, there are a couple wilted, depowered flowers scattered around the floor behind her, and on the table in front of her is a rather sizable pile of crumpled slips of paper, each with a phone number written on them. The effects have worn off on her a little early, because the flowers have died and she hasn't been out of her apartment all day - after going completely over the top for all of the 5th and most of the 6th, she'd finally crashed hard back at her place and has only just woken up from a twelve-hour nap.]

So I... I been feeling kinda weird this week, for the past couple of days, and I'm pretty sure I ain't the only one, right? Feels like my head hasn't been screwed on totally straight. I mean... I could think clearly, but I'm not sure why I was thinking what I was. I'm not unhappy about most of it, 'cause I been having fun, but I am pretty fucking confused.

And I skipped work on Friday. I'm not gonna get fired, right? I like my job; I wanna keep it.

[And she has more than one reason to be worried about losing it. She works at an addiction rehab center, but she has definitely not been abstaining from drug use in these past couple of days.

She picks up one of the paper slips, frowning at it.]

Uh, I think these are all from regular people - not imPorts. But if you gave me yours and you want me to throw it out, I can do that.

That's all, I think.

Bye.

[private to Chilton]

Should I do therapy talk about this?

Oh, Tiffany. If, at bare minimum, if only for the sake of addressing the trauma suffered -- yes. Therapy talk would be idea.

private.

[tucky]

Trauma? No, no, no, I don't think I'm traumatized. I'm feeling pretty good, actually.

private.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are you certain, or is that the denial speaking?

private.

[tucky]

... I think I'm certain. Yeah. I didn't do anything too awful.

[huntergames]

Um, maybe you could speak with your boss?

[ She notes the disarray in the background, but says nothing. It has been a long week, after all. ]

video

[tucky]

I guess. I don't know him that well yet. Are the bosses here strict?

video

[huntergames]

I find they're very nice! I was away from work a few days and they didn't get mad at me. They even said I could take another day off if I needed to.

[tucky]

Were you sick?

[flowerette]

I think this has been a very strange week for everyone.

[ Concerned: ]

But are you alright, Tiffany?

video;

[tucky]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a wild few days, is all.

[private]

I cut work 'cause I was following strangers around and trying to talk to 'em.

[flowerette]

Nothing happened because of it, did it? What I mean is, no one took advantage of your state of mind, did they?

video; private

[tucky]

Mm... define happened, and define taking advantage.

[booyahh]

You're definitely not the only one. [ Although hers was more passing out and then nightmares. At least she doesn't comment on the state of the apartment she sees. ]

You should try talking to your boss. If you tell them something weird happened they should be understanding. I mean the weirdness has been pretty...public.

video

[tucky]

They used to stuff like this happening? 'Cause I heard this ain't the first time.

video

[booyahh]

From what I've heard and seen? They're probably pretty used to it. I'd like to think they give us a break in the case of really weird stuff going down all around.

video

[tucky]

Okay, good. Good. That makes me feel better.

You got it, too?

VIDEO.

[indenture]

Definitely not the only one, I've observed a decent few. Nothing you'd be held legally responsible for if it's another one of those airborne phenomena. Or contagion. Whatever someone wants to call it.

VIDEO.

[tucky]

Contagion? I don't feel sick. I never did.

VIDEO.

[indenture]

Guess that's a good thing. I wouldn't know, because I wasn't-- [ A pause. ] Affected. Just knew people that were.

What exactly happened? For you.

[cupio]

Are you okay? [ She doesn't look okay but Clary's not been here very long to know the difference. ]

What happened?

[tucky]

Yeah, I'm fine. I just got affected by something. People are saying I ain't the only one.

[cupio]

Like the flu?

[ She's not entirely sure why that would include a bunch of phone numbers but maybe this woman is a doctor or something, who knows? ]

[Elsa looks like shit right now, having been on a bender of her own and forcing herself to stay awake since she woke up on the 3rd, so. Voice only for now.]

It's been a fucked up week for everyone.

voice

[tucky]

Wasn't too bad for me.

So what'd you do?

voice

[enustari]

[Passed out, dreamed in excruciating detail about her horrible fiery demise...]

A lot of coke.

[That is probably not something one should just say over the public network, oh well.]
