Nineteen Spoons {Dictated; Forward Dated to a more Manageable Hour}

[cyan_maid]

[How goes it, Paradisa? Anything fun happen while Janey bumped her head? Well, that only lasted a week, as these sorts of things do – but it hasn’t been a week for Jane. It’s been five grueling months of skeleton fighting, grave spelunking, puzzle busting, and…teenage drama? Why yes, there was a healthy helping of teenage drama to deal with, along with some entirely unpleasant revelations that she is definitely still reeling from as she comes to. Her face is already wet with new tears, and she pauses to wipe at her face and take in her surroundings. When she finally has the sense to grope around for her journal, she finds it, and the entry opens with a particularly loud snuffle.]

I’m - [Her voice cracks, and she needs to pause to take a deep breath.] I’m back. Or awake. Whatever – whatever applies to the situation, that’s what I am. But if it’s alright…if it’s alright, I don’t want to see anyone right now. Please, don’t come calling. [The last bit is kind of snippy. She has had it up to the roof with bullshit, castle brand or otherwise.]

((OOC: So Jane is back! And she’s miserable! You know what that means, right? It’s time to pester her until the cows come home! And please, I implore you to do so!))

I think they'd learn their lesson fast enough, in that case!

Was it that bad, eh? That's even more upsetting. [It would be nice if people came back with happy memories, for once. But that's like, isn't it?]

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

One can only hope.

Yeah...Don't get me wrong, though! Most of it was fine. It was the most recent bits that soured the experience.

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

I see.

So one could say you went to bed angry! They always advise couples against doing that, you know. If only we could accept dating artist advice into our own lives.

I'm sure it didn't help.

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

[She groans.] Let's not bring couples into this, figuratively or otherwise.

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

Hm?

I hit a sore spot, didn't I?

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

Um...it is a bit of a sore spot, yes...

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

Ah, sorry, Miss Jane. I'll leave the tender spot alone.

Romantic trouble is probably the worst trouble to be in!

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

Probably. I can think of some close contenders for the title, though.

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

Oh-ho? Which ones might those be?

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

Mortal peril is pretty high on the list. And dying. That pretty much takes the cake.

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

[...Oh.]

Did something of that sort happen, Miss Jane?

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

It did. I got...run right through the middle. It was over pretty quickly, and it was my fault it happened in the first place, but...yeah.

Miss Jane [1/2]

[whathedoves]

Ah.

Then, I'm sorry.

I would never want you to be in that sort of danger, here or there.

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

[This second comment is a very long time in coming.]


Maybe we have something else in common.

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

[...Oh, Yuuya.]

You mean, you've died, too?

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

There was an altercation, just before I came here.

I know when my number is up, mon amie!



But you're none the worse for wear, I hope! Looks like you sprang back up with bells on.

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

That's because of the game, but...

[But she highly doubts Yuuya has a session of Sburb to go home to. Not that she would wish it on anybody.]

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

I thought extra lives were a feline urban myth, you fortunate diamond!

I shouldn't make light. It's important that you are safe now.

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

But are you sure about you? Are you sure you won't be alright??

[Oh God she doesn't want to think about friends dying...]

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

As long as I'm here, I'm not too worried!

We never know what the future will hold, but ... I'd sure be in some trouble.

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

Oh, Yuuya...

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

Don't let me feel so selfish, mon amie! I can't always command the topic's center of attention like this.

I just wanted you to know you're not so alone in things like that. It blows, right?

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

But that's...

[She was going to say, "It's the sort of thing that nobody wants company in", but she doesn't know if that would hurt his feelings.]

...Well...yeah. It blows.

Miss Jane

[whathedoves]

[No, it's really not.]

Do your friends know?

Yuuya

[cyan_maid]

Yes. They all...well. They did, too. The ones from home I mean. But one of them, he saved us. Thankfully he didn't lose his-

[...Jane don't say it.]

...Head.
