[devoutish]

[WELL, LOOK AT THAT.]

Vaughn, yeah?

[moneyman]

Yes! God, it's good to hear some familiar voices. Mostly because it means you guys aren't dead. At least... not right now.

[ yeah, just give him a second to let that sink in. ]

...Wow, I really hope nobody else died.

[devoutish]

Rhys, Angel, and Fiona are alive. I'm with Fiona right now.

[moneyman]

Fiona's with you?

[ he almost says "give her a hug for me," but that would be weird. he'll have to give her a hug later! ]

I heard from Angel already, so I figured she and Rhys must be fine, but I'm glad Fiona's okay, too.

[devoutish]

Yeah, we've been traveling together for a bit.

[He's just... not going to get into the Rhys-Angel-Fiona rift.]

[moneyman]

[ ha ha, don't worry, he's bound to find out about it soon enough. he does has to wonder why they split up, but he'll ask one of them. ]

...So uh, I'm kind of afraid to ask, but did I miss anything big?

[ you know, besides... that. ]

[devoutish]

Yeah. Remind me again when you died? What's the last thing you remember?

[He has questions for Vaughn, too - namely, does he remember anything new from home? - but that'll come momentarily.]

[moneyman]

It... wasn't too long after there was that system failure and people started getting really sick. I was definitely one of those people. Then we were going to meet up with some guy who's apparently a vampire? I don't know, it was kind of a blur of weirdness. And sickness.

[devoutish]

You missed some mysterious figures showing up for a chat. Angel and Rhys will fill you in, I'm sure.

[moneyman]

Oooh, "mysterious figures," huh? Sounds... uh. Mysterious.

[ he coughs. why did he just say that. ]

...I uh, I'll ask them about it, yeah. Thanks.

[devoutish]

You can also read it on the tablets. Very handy.

[moneyman]

Oh yeah, huh? I forgot how much helpful stuff people upload onto these things. I probably have a lot to catch up on when I get... somewhere that's not the hospital.

[devoutish]

Nasty place, that is. I've only been there the once.

[When he'd also revived from death, so it's possible he's a little biased.]

Yeah, nasty but useful. Curious stuff happens there.

[moneyman]

Nooot exactly what you wanna hear to describe a hospital. I feel like asking what kind of "curious stuff" you mean might be a bad idea, too. At least while I'm still here.

[devoutish]

Clues. Useful things.

What are you missing? What's your death price?

[moneyman]

[ "death price..." damn, that sounds so hardcore. ]

Well, I have no memory of dying, does that count? Other than that, just the few things I picked up before. Nothing important.

[devoutish]

You have no memory, but you did. You must have, yeah?

Did you run into an anomaly?

[moneyman]

I don't... think so? I'm sure Rhys or Angel would have told me. Unless one got me alone somehow...

[ a pleasant thought as he's about to set off on his own, for sure. ]

[devoutish]

Stuck outside, then.

[moneyman]

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. I guess it's just as well I don't remember it happening. Can't have been pleasant.

[devoutish]

If you do remember, give me a shout, eh? I wonder how long the amnesia will last.

[moneyman]

Yeah, I can do that. I... wonder that, too.
