[network] @ASolomons; audio, morning of 265 [open]

[devoutish]

The fuck is going on?

[He sounds exhausted, as per usual, and his voice is hoarse and raw - he's been doing a lot of non-stop talking these past few days, trying to keep Royce engaged.]

Right - the lot of you, sound off. What happened, and what needs to be done?

Comments

[devoutish]

[He doesn't really acknowledge the jokes in any way - he doesn't mind them, necessarily, but he can't really do jokes with most people right now.]

Yeah. Thanks, Angel. If she'll respond well to anyone I expect it'll be you.

[phaseshifter]

Mmm. Being polite and friendly doesn't always work. So don't get your hopes up too high!
She'll probably be too busy to answer anything anyway. I expect there's a lot of checking the systems to be done in the aftermath of the reboot.

[devoutish]

I don't ever get my hopes up to high here.

[phaseshifter]

Point taken.
(Not that you should give up hope, either. That's the worst possible thing to do here!)

[devoutish]

Not planning on that one either.

[Granted, he's given up most of it. Just not absolutely all.]

[phaseshifter]

Good. Because I'd fuss and worry and nag and you'd freaking *hate* it. I wouldn't be the only one, either. Fuss from every angle! Unthinkable.

[devoutish]

And who's fussing after you?

[phaseshifter]

I'm short enough to duck under the fusses. It's a talent. >:P

[devoutish]

You'll fall apart if you've got no support because you're too busy trying to support others. Don't be Watson.

[phaseshifter]

Don't worry, I have no intention of Watsoning it up. I know my limits! (Plus he's almost as dweeby as Rhys is, eesh)

[ teehee ]]

[devoutish]

Yeah. And you've got Beckett, haven't you.

[phaseshifter]

He *is* pretty good at knowing when to fuss. Probably because he's so fuss-averse himself?

@admin says restart went well, by the way. And that the building they were taken to has been quarrantined so she can scan it thoroughly.
So I guess that's why it's apparently inaccessible now?? Erasing it from our perception entirely is a novel way of doing it, I guess

[devoutish]

We're lucky everyone got out.

[He feels a little lurch at the thought of everyone - of Royce - being trapped in there.]

[phaseshifter]

Not lucky. Luck had nothing to do with it. We all worked really hard to get them out.
I know you didn't mean it like that, exactly, but
I think it's really important to keep reminding ourselves of that. We aren't entirely helpless, and that's nice to know.
Especially when we don't win as a group all that often! ♥

[devoutish]

It is.

It's been easy for me to forget, lately.

[phaseshifter]

Good thing you have obnoxious friends like me to help you remember, then. As often as you need it.

[devoutish]

You and Rhys are good kids.

[phaseshifter]

We're not kids at all, but I'll forgive you. :P ♥
