[ stephanie brown ]

[ Just as expected, she dwells on this for some time. They haven't spoken in months and had things not ended up this way, she would have kept ceased communications. There isn't much anger she holds toward the other woman anymore, but there is a severe lack of trust. For Kate, if she could not trust someone or they didn't fit her standards as reliable, she dropped them, no matter how guilty or guiltless she felt about it.

But to not say anything would be cruel and nobody deserves that. While she doesn't consider her a friend anymore, she's still an ally. ]

Come to the clinic.

[ kidnapped filter ]

[ Kate abhors using those words for this filter. Time to check in on everyone, though. ]

How are you all doing?

[ If you're in the clinic, holla. ]

[ And it should not come as too much of a surprise, but Kate leaves out a filter to her own friends. At least for now. She's tired and has to deal with Stephanie soon, so she wants to be completely prepared for whatever is to come. She doesn't mean to make anyone worry.

With some effort, she manages to sit up on her bed. She's currently in the clinic, much to her chagrin. Never has she liked being stuck on bed rest and being made to feel so helpless, frustrated and tired. It makes her feel like a victim, something she's always hated since the time she was a child. Even knowing the clinic staff were just doing their job, it makes her feel petty.

Now? She feels restless. She pours through the journal for details on what's happened in the castle during the days she was stuck elsewhere, yet there's nothing that really explains what exactly happened. As usual, there's no reason. There's never a reason.

She shouldn't waste any energy feeling so angry about this. ]

[ ooc; open in the clinic to whoever! ]

Don't worry about that, mon amie, I've had worse.

Doesn't look like anyone knows much more than we came back with.

No, it seems like we're not getting any solid answers out of this.

[ Ugh. ]

I cannot say that I'm surprised. Seems more questions get asked than answered around these parts.

Do you know what's going to happen to - [hm.]

Will there be a memorial?

Maybe. Hard to say given how death isn't permanent here.

It isn't?

I know some have appeared here after, in their worlds. But not that.

I guess death is a pretty cheap master, after all ...

They usually come back after two weeks. Only the natives don't.

The castle? Or something else? I guess I should be glad of it; sounds like a blessing.

I'll learn about it later, mon amie. I'm just adding all questions and no answers, again. [in case we forget he was an awkward teenager.] Well.

Ah, how's your side?

[ There has to be clues. Something. With two people dead, she can't let this go too easily. ]

Me? I'm-- [ A beat. ] I'll be alright.

[ Hates bed rest, but a day won't kill her really... ]

[Tenacity is good; Yuuya admires it. He's never really had the ambition to be tenacious.]

That's good to hear. You took a bit of a beating there. How long are you out of commission?

I like to keep busy, so I'll be up and about in another day. [ She'll just have to be careful not to open any stitches. ]

So soon! Is that wise, Miss?

Just Kate.

And I'm not going to do any heavy lifting or running around.

So informal! I'm blushing, I think.

As long as you take it easy!

As such an active lady, I think you'll be on your feet in no time. Time enough for you all to be reunited, I do hope.

Don't worry about it. I've been here a while. [ You get used to some of these events... ]

Some things, at least, must get a little easier!

Not all, though, I guess.

I wish you a speedy recovery, Miss. Kate, is it?

Kate's fine, right. And thanks.
