For anyone wondering, the captain and first mate of the Blameless are aware again. I think we've won the award for 'longest time gone by while asleep', but I'm not going to ask for anyone to try and compete.

Not today, anyway.

If we've missed anything important it would be nice to know, but otherwise this is just me checking in, I suppose. I'm not sure what the protocol is when you've been gone for ten years without being gone at all.

If anyone needs me, I'm on the Heron.

[Ahsoka hates texting; it's such an outdated mode of communication, to her way of thinking. Video all the way.]

Wait. What? Ten years?

[athru]

[ And so it begins... ]

Ten years. I was asleep for five days.

[resnipstance]

Whoa, that's...

That's insane. I can't even imagine... [Ahsoka tries to imagine being gone for ten years and then waking up back here again. But she can't.]

[athru]

It's about as fun as it sounds, trust me.

[ Which is to say no fun at all, of course. ]

I'm not sure there is protocol for that. We might have to make it up.

[ 'llo, first mate. kate's not sure what to make of raven on a good day, but they ARE shipmates. so might as well play nice. ]

As long as it's something like 'lots of ice cream' I'll be happy.

With bonus hot fudge. Just 'cause damn. Ten years.

[ but you're still all decades behind kate, and very probably from a whole different world altogether even on top of that. life's tough. ]

...Wow.

And you don't look a day over 25.

[ it's an... attempt at friendly humor but she's still surprised ]

[athru]

I'm not going to tell you how old I really am.

[ But at least Raven smiles! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, you're talking to someone who's technically 48. I won't judge.

[ he never did end up meeting her properly, and now's probably an awkward time to do it, but he also can't just let this pass. he decides to reply with video instead of text because he's hoping she might recognize him by sight - she's probably seen him around the blameless because he, hank, and cisco play in hank's lab a lot. I mean - conduct super serious experiments! in hank's lab a lot. ]

Hi -- this is seriously overdue [ he cringes at the unfortunate and unintentional joke it is now ] sorry - it's just. Hi, I'm Winn, um, Hank's friend. I already told Hank, but I'm telling you too - if there's anything you guys need, call me up, and I'm there. Or - wherever you need me to be.

[ can you tell he's nervous and awkward? because he's just hiding it so well! ]

[ Raven's heard enough about Winn to know that he's an okay guy, and that means that she doesn't have any hesitation in replying with video or worrying about who he is. She'd been promised the chance to meet him... Ten years ago, now, she thinks, and it makes her nose wrinkle before she switches her feed on. ]

Hi, Winn. It's good to finally meet you. [ Heard all about it, etc. She does tilt her head, though, softening. ] I can't think of anything right now, but... I'll let you know.

[ they give better late than never a whole new meaning. ]

You too. [ he offers her a smile because he really does mean it. he heard all great things. ] Please do.

Whoever had the award before can keep it.

[athru]

Are you sure? We could frame it.

[beathach]

I'm sure. I like to think someone else has us beat.

Sounds cozy. [She knows a few things now and feels too many. She's not sure what to feel at the idea that they are all on the Heron together. It doesn't feel good though.]

text

[athru]

Something like that. Hi, Kitty.

text

[passingthrough]

Hi, Raven. I meant to check in on you again before a decade passed. My bad.

[Kurt's knuckles are still smarting when he makes the decision to check on Raven himself. Anonymously, because he maintains nothing good will come of her knowing him.]

Good to see you're awake. Any lingering effects?

[athru]

[ 'Anonymous' doesn't lend itself to Raven being particularly open, and she frowns at her device. ]

No. I'm fine.

[ecclesiophobic]

Silly question to ask, with your powers. Of course you're alright.

Is McCoy still sound in mind and body?
