Sleeping WIth Vultures

[therewerefifty]

Who: Anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose
When: 9/24

[Makie opens her eyes a crack; finally, after a good six weeks.  She feels too heavy and worn out, so something is obviously amiss, though her first thought is maybe she's just ill.  She's had mornings like this in the past, before a friendly angel came and cleared the disease from her lungs.

She's probably also not alone, either.  Well, then.

It might be why, despite how fragilely she shuffles toward the kitchen soon afterward, she looks amazingly content.  Maybe she spent that much time dreaming some good shit, who knows?  Or maybe it's just that she's no longer alone anymore.  Other crew on the Windrose might have noticed she had a visitor in the past few weeks.  Makie's sorry, guys.  Hopefully Lilly didn't break anything :|

When she's woken up some with food and good tea and has caught up with her crew and made sure they're all still in one piece, she'll hit the network, looking tired and pale but courteous as always.]

I've been asleep a long time, it seems.

For those who don't know me, my name is Otono-Tachibana Makie.  There's a relatively new addition to the fleet whom some of you may have met.  [And regretted it.]  She's a small child by the name of Lilly, fair-haired, who has... some difficulty communicating.  But she likes to explore.  If you find her on your ship, please treat her well.  If you wish to remove her from your ship, I will retrieve her.

[She's got the best bet of doing it without causing more disaster, at any rate.  Please be nice to her feral child, Fleet.  She asks nicely.]

...thank you in advance.

Have I missed anything important in the last... month?

Lilly? I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure. What do you mean she has difficulty communicating? Is she mute?

Lilly, huh? I'll keep an eye out for her and as long as she doesn't break anything too important on the ship and likes animals she'll be welcomed on the Three Twins.

[He's captain now. He can make these calls.]

[Would you believe she hasn't noticed? She's spent so much time on the Tourist and when she and Winn were on the Windrose instead it was largely because something had happened and she needed the comfort of feeling "home." She did manage to notice that Makie was in one of the comas. They seemed especially pervasive lately or maybe they were just hitting people she knew more than usual. Regardless she brightens when she sees the other woman awake.] Hey! [A happy-sounding "hey".] You're up. [Obviously.]

action!!!

[mistyday]

Makie!!!

[Barely will Makie have time to get anything done before she gets a beaming Misty wrapping her arms around her - though as excited as she is to see her friend, Misty is remaining remarkably gentle with her.]

Oh you're awake, I'm so glad!

[Once she's done with her broadcast, the Vision makes his way up to the kitchen where she'd been broadcasting from and gives her a smile as he enters.]

Makie. I'm glad to see you're awake.

action. from earlier. yes.

[Well. You know. She's just perched on the edge of your bed, watching you with bird-of-prey-like intensity. She's probably scaring all your poor fellow shipmates, but whatever, we all know she doesn't care. What does matter is waiting for Makie to wake up, especially after her failed attempts to try and rouse you. Sure, she might have slapped your face a few times. Or, like. Pinched you real hard. Maybe even grabbed your nose and shook your head back and forth a little.

But when she gets the idea, she's fine with playing the waiting game.

When Makie awakes, she'll find her bed lined with unopened food, drinks in cups, all sorts of things being hoarded around her. Ready for her, when she wants some. Makie figures she would prepare Makie for her hunger that will inevitably come from so much sleep.]
