[Once Skye Daisy is back in her room in Heropa she immediately opens up her communicator and sets it to video. The biggest thing anyone watching will notice is her new, short hair cut. Which is slightly matted from blood and there is a nasty bruise forming on the side of her face. All thanks to a car accident she got into right before being zapped back here. ]

So. Anyone want to tell me how long I was gone for?

[Spoiler alert: It was only a day. Although, clearly, by the looks of her it had not been that short for her back home.]

Comments

[mightthinkthat]

Wasn't aware you'd left, actually.

[Francis. Daisy remembered the last time they talked hadn't ended well.]

I wouldn't expect you to keep tabs on me.

[It was said in a neutral tone because, that's how she felt about him right now.]

[mightthinkthat]

[ If Francis remembered, he doesn't give any sign. ] I'm observant. Though I wouldn't want you to feel unappreciated. [ Keep tabs on you? Please. ]

[Daisy didn't respond to that comment. Instead she began to think out loud.]

I was back home for months, but if you don't know it couldn't have been long...

[mightthinkthat]

It certainly wasn't months. Do you recall the Swear-In which was essentially a carnival?

[morethan084]

The last one I went to was the astronaut one. I remember sitting the next one out because I wasn't too happy with the government.

Ten years. I'm afraid that since you left, the Soviet regime advanced and we're all living in some sort of horrible dystopia under the thumb of our terrible Soviet oppressors. They've removed the banks and destroyed the good dining, that's all too bourgeois.

[ there's a brief pause before Dorian just grins, giving the camera a little shrug. ] I'm joking, by the way. Didn't even know you left in the first place!

[morethan084]

[What little color was in her face right now drained immediately at his words. Only once he had grinned did she let her head fall for a second.]

Dude, seriously? Not funny.

[brushoff]

It was a little funny. [ still grinning a bit! Sorry Daisy, he's a shit ]

[morethan084]

When you've gone through what I went through back home I'm pretty sure you would see my side.

[Daisy started pulling pieces of her hair away from her temple, where the blood from her cut was making it stick to her skin.]

I don't remember seeing you much before I left.

[brushoff]

You can't say something like that and not tell a story about what happened, [ said with a grin...as he just 100% does not pay attention to the blood. ]

And I don't blame you for not seeing much of me—January and February were, for lack of a better term, a shitshow.

[morethan084]

It's a very long winded story.

[And clearly one she is not up for sharing right now. Wincing as she pulled the last few strands of hair off of her hair, Daisy snorted at his comment.]

Yeah. I remember.

You okay?

[fayzedandconfused]

Depends on when you left.

[ Duh. ]

[morethan084]

Brianna?

[fayzedandconfused]

Uh huh. [ She frowns, taking a closer look. ] You okay? You look like you got beat up.

[morethan084]

I'm fine.

Just got in a car accident.

[Which, you know, is totally no big deal.]

Great place to wake up in.

[fayzedandconfused]

Bad luck.

[hostage]

[He's already on the move, judging from the shakiness of the camera - heading to his car, by the looks of it.]

Jesus, Skye... Are you okay?

[morethan084]

[Shit. Jesse.]

I'm fine.

[Or, you know, the complete opposite of that.]

Where are you?

[She doesn't correct him on the name right now. She's more concerned with what she assumes he's doing. God, there's so much he doesn't know about and she's not sure she's ready to share it all with anyone.]

[hostage]

Downtown. I'm heading to you.

[She is so clearly not fine.]

[morethan084]

[Daisy has a good poker face. Well, sort of. Not really.]

You-you don't have to do that.

[hostage]

I won't heal you without permission, okay? Just lemme take a look at it. I'm like five minutes away.

[inmyothertights]

Have you figure out how long yet?

[morethan084]

Nope.

[His face is slightly familiar.]

...Billy, right?

[inmyothertights]

That's me.

How's it going?
