001 {video}

[The first few second of video is an awkwardly angled shot of a very tired, very pretty blonde woman, clearly trying to work through how to use her damn phone. She looks like she's recently been through the wringer, face a mess of healing scrapes and a few shadowy bruises. So, she's just not here for any kinda crap today, phone. Behave.]

Oh lord, I’ve never been good at this computer stuff. What is- oh, eeugh.

[Sookie finally gets a good look at herself in the camera, and that angle is doing nothing for her, yikes. She takes a moment to adjust the angle, until she’s satisfied that she looks actually presentable to strangers and not a damn mess like she’s been for the past week.]

I’m Sookie, ah, Sookie Stackhouse. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be so scattered, I’m just a little overwhelmed right now, if you can understand. [She frowns, a little embarrassed at herself. Get a grip, Sook, it’s just a camera.] Ah, so, I’d really really like to know about churches around anywhere? I’m Methodist, but I’m no stranger to a Baptist service, or any of those big nondenominational-

[And then for just a moment, the Fellowship of the Sun flashes across her mind’s eye, and her stomach lurches. No. No megachurches.]

Actually, no, just small congregations are fine for me.

Also, they're telling me that I've got to be on some TV show called, ah.....[She takes a moment to look at something scribbled onto her palm.] Virginia Lakeshore? Anyone know anything about that? How would I wiggle my way out of that, exactly?

I used to live in De Chima for a while so I could probably point out churches if you're still looking.

But are you okay? You look a little banged up.

[wordaday]

I am, thank you. I would really appreciate it.

I'm fine. Most of it is a few weeks old from before Christmas. Well. When I was it was after Christmas.

[tadeadshi]

Any time then, you can send a message to this ID and I'll be over that way.

Welcome to a month back, then. Has anyone offered healing, or are you all right letting it heal on its own?

[wordaday]

I think I'll take you up on that in a few days maybe. I need some sleep first, honestly.

Someone was telling me about the nanites? But I'm not real clear on it.

[tadeadshi]

Take your time. Settling into the place takes some time.

The nanites usually help speed healing up on smaller wounds like cuts. Some of us have healing abilities to help more. They also do a lot of other stuff for the government that aren't so nice, but best not to talk about that stuff on this network.

[wordaday]

Where would I find someone like that? Doctors offices, or do I need to put out another call for it? I don't want to bother people too much.

The second part they definitely didn't tell me about.

[tadeadshi]

Some, sure. I was asking if anyone had offered because if they hadn't, I would. My paperwork says I still have my healing ability, so I could do it.

There's a lot they don't tell you about.

[wordaday]

[Well hey now.]

Oh gosh. I would, I just don't have anything to pay you back with. I couldn't ask you to do it for free.

[tadeadshi]

It's why I'm offering, I don't mind helping.

What's the point of having this power if I don't use it to help people?

[wordaday]

That's so kind of you, really. If you can I would really appreciate it. I've got a fractured cheekbone and a bad knee, I really don't care about the scratches. Those'll heal.

[tadeadshi]

A fractured cheekbone.

[HOW ARE YOU TALKING. yeah no, Tadashi's gathering his things already to head over to one of the porters.]

Give me a few minutes? I can definitely help with that.

[wordaday]

[Oh. Well okay, she was expecting this whole thing to happen in a few days but uh. Okay. This might as well happen.]

You don't have to rush on my account! It's alright, it's not like it's an emergency.
