[ for a good moment or two, the only thing that can be seen are riku's bright eyes in the dark, but he pulls away long enough to just give a blank stare at the camera.

he just. blinks. his hair's a crazy bedhead, and he still looks half asleep before he just blurts out; ]

Funny prank. What's the real date?

[ squints. ]

I don't sleep for months like someone I know.

[There's... a strange new person Jinx doesn't know. That is apparently on the ship.

Jinx pops up her own screen and stares at him, slightly angrily. She doesn't like it when there are suddenly new people she doesn't know.

Who the fuck are you >|]

[limitstorm]

[ excuse you he's been on this ship since they were sucked out of their worlds

he just blinks at the video. uh. hmmm. maybe she can't speak or hear? ]

Hello?

video + text;

[wordmiser]

[She glances at the word, and frowns a little more deeply.

Ugh, fine.]

Who r u?

video + text;

[limitstorm]

Riku.
Who're you?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

...You know, the regularity with which members of my crew seem to fall into a coma is starting to get a little worrying.

video + text;

[wordmiser]

Jinx.

[The real important question for her is, though, where has this person been hm?

How to ask, how to ask...]

voice;

[limitstorm]

Coma?

[ he sighs exasperatedly. ]

You don't mean... all that time, I was really--?

video + text;

[limitstorm]

Nice to meet you, Jinx.
It's not really the end of May, is it?

video + text;

[wordmiser]

[A pause, and then she nods. Yeah, of course it is. when else would it be.

She gives him a vaguely suspicious look.]

video + text;

[limitstorm]

Is there something on my face?
You keep giving me weird looks.
I guess you've never seen anyone sleep for a few weeks before.

video + text;

[wordmiser]

[She arches an eyebrow at him. Of course not. He would have died of dehydration.

Don't be silly.]

[destinyembrace]

[A sigh of relief. He's finally awake...]

Not months, no, but a few weeks. Isn't this supposed to be Sora's bad habit?

video + text;

[limitstorm]

Yeah, I know, I was surprised too when my best friend fell asleep for a year.
And my other best friend before that was in a coma for at least a month.
I thought they were gonna die, but they were fine.
I guess it's some sort of magic.

[ he just gives her a long-suffering look. you don't understand, jinx. he's watched his best friends in comas for at least two years. ]

[limitstorm]

Hey!

[ ruuuude. ]

I guess he rubbed off on me.

video

[everydayhero]

Oh my god, there you are.

video

[limitstorm]

[ oh no. he hunches a little, looking embarrassed. ]

H-hey, Hiro. Sorry. That's... never happened before.

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

In a coma? No, technically not. I was being hyperbolic.

[a pause...]

But yes, you were out for almost a month.

voice;

[limitstorm]

Almost a... [ his groan is long and defeated. ] I can't believe this.

What's hy--hyper... bylick even mean?

video

[everydayhero]

It happened to my comms officer, too. Seems like a lot of people crashed this month. You okay? Other than needing a brush.

video

[limitstorm]

[ brush--?

yeah, that makes him go red, and he tries (in vain) to flatten some of his hair down. ]

Ugh... I think I'm fine. Guess I'm kinda sore, but nothing some training can't fix. [ he shakes his head. ] What about you?

video

[everydayhero]

I'm alright. I was pretty busy while you were asleep. I think the lack of "Hiro, you were supposed to be here for training 20 minutes ago" texts made me forget to break.

[rubbing the back of his neck]

video

[limitstorm]

[ ... just. just this face, right here: B| ]

Geez, you're a genius at forms but you still need work on discipline...

Video

[wilder]

[Between Varric, Flora and Sora- Kaneis can't even work up surprise that someone slept so long]

I dunno, sure looked like you were asleep for that long. Maybe it's contagious.

[limitstorm]

Ugh... [ just. shakes his head. ] I can't believe this... maybe it is contagious.

Hey, I was working on some important stuff! We have a hyper-compost bin to fertilize our medicinal herbs and any crops we grow.
