Cassian and his pet robot. You know, my brief adventure in attempting to make friends and be normal. [ Did anyone ever really think she would succeed at that? ]
Also I'm bringing someone by tonight so find somewhere else to have a one-night stand tonight if you've got plans.
Oh I'm sure spreading my legs will solve all of my problems. Remind to sing your praises if I ever decide to give it up to you or Johnny.
[ The only two people she's actually sure would be happy to without actually dating her. She's also pretty sure her partner and her boss are not people she wants to do that with.
That wouldn't help any more than trying to make nice or open up to someone would, anyway. ]
No, I invited this guy over to watch a horror movie with me. I have literally never wanted to destroy someone's happiness as much as I have this guy, and I have to get to know him to figure out how. Who knows though, I might sit on his face just to get him to shut up at some point.
[There's just a sigh on the other end, though that's in response to the no answer and a beep thing.]
Where are you? The nurses said you ditched your hospital bed.
[There's silence for a moment, almost as if she expects an answer. She doesn't, she's just trying to find the right words. There's a lot she wants to say, but to him, not a machine.]
I know you probably don't want to talk about what happened. I don't blame you. But...
Just.
Call me. All right?
[There's another long pause, but this time, the words don't come at all. So she hangs up, frowning at the ceiling as she taps her thumb against the comm device. Then she rolls onto her side to get some sleep.]
text; backdated to 15th shortly after she and yang argued
Will you please talk to Yang? I just had a fight with her because she wanted me to tell her about your past. I'm absolutely not saying you have to tell her anything, but at least let her know you're okay.
(I'd like to know you're OK too but after what she said happened, I can't imagine you are. LMK if you need anything!)
[Ding! Wow, Mercury has a new message! There's a picture attached. It's from Yang so. Probably not something incredibly serious. And if he thinks so, he's right.]
The sequel comes out in December. You know which game. Get ready to taste defeat because I'm ready for this.
I think you'll be happy to know I signed up for a way less dangerous bounty this time. Looks like Weiss and Sun signed up for it too! Just wanted to give you a heads up anyway, since that seems like a...I dunno...a girlfriend thing to do? I guess?
[And so he doesn't have to 'go for a walk' while waiting for her to come back.]
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know. Hope work is going good!
Probably this afternoon It shouldn't take long with so many people checking out these caves. Might just be some poor guy seeking shelter from the cold.
You know, I did suggest a double date. But Weiss said I wouldn't be able to protect you from all the punches and stabbings.
Hmmm...yeah, that's a good point, I hadn't thought of that. That's really considerate of you!
[She beams. He's a good boyfriend.]
We could check out a movie at the theater, if you're up for that. Won't matter how much energy I have if we're just sitting together in the dark, right?
[Guess she's trying to figure it out anyway. It'll give her something specific to look forward to.]
