Video/Action Open

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Open
Action: Tourist, or find her later on the Twin Roses or Iskaulit
When: March 2

[Kitty's morning on the Tourist did not go as planned. It's another hour or so before she makes this announcement. She doesn't even know what happened to the minutes in between. But she's all business when she looks into the communicator. No hiding behind text.]

Winn Schott is in a coma. [Blunt. Direct. Maybe she should have called a few people individually first like Kara, but she wasn't going to make it through this if she did that.] He always has projects going, so they're going to be late. If something is important let me know and I'll see if it's something I can work on in his place.

I already fed his slug today, but someone on the Tourist should take care of that until lazy wakes up. [The mild insult to cover feelings is so classic Kitty, circa home it may not even fit with what people of the fleet know of her. That Kitty had walls around her walls, but those are gone now.]

He's always checking on ship systems on the Twin Roses since we managed to merge and still not get an engineer out of the deal, so if anyone else can help us out with that in the meantime let me know. I'll also be working on the new dance studio later today if anyone wants to help. [Because this mission is almost complete and she needs another one so she can hold it together. Can't fall apart if she's sanding down floors.]

Kitty!

I'll help with the Twin Roses, Kitty, and his slug.

_{[ He wished there was more he could do or say, but there's really not is there? Better just to ease some of these other concerns, he feels, and let her find her own, better distractions. ]}

[Robb isn't the most self-reflective guy in the world but he recognizes the way she talks. He would do exactly the same if any of this would happen to someone close to him. He would focus on everything around them instead of the pain being without them.]

I can come to your ship and help out if you wish.

[Winn has proven to be a nice man. And Kitty has always been a good friend.]

I am not much of an engineer...but mayhaps I can handle a slug...

You okay?

[Just skipping all the things he can't help with at all and go straight for asking about her.]

[Well, hell. They only just got Kara back. Come on, universe, quit it.]

I will be sure to check up on him.

Do you need anything else?

video. private.

[athru]

Let me know when he wakes up?

[ Because Kitty would be the first to know and, of course, Raven can help Winn. She's been through a coma like this before, ten years worth of emotions shoved into her body in a week's sleep, and it's not fun. ]

What do you need?

I'm sorry to hear that, Kitty. I have a kitten that you're welcome to borrow for cuddles if you need him.

And...if you think of something you might need, you know where to find me.

[But he won't push, he understands a desire to perhaps not look so closely at what's bothering you. Still, she's his friend. At least she was generally within reach if a little mood boost via magic might be in order.]

[At some point, Ravi thinks he might hear Kitty in the room next door and knocks on the wall, loud enough so that he knows she'll hear it for sure. He decides to wait and see if she responds rather than barge in on her, uninvited.]

[therewerefifty]

[Makie isn't really good at giving comfort. Not... on this level, at any rate. She fidgets over her answer for a while-- she has no real idea how to help, but she wants to.

It's Kitty.]

What... is required for the dance studio?

[beathach]

[as soon as he sees the broadcast he's answering it]

How long has he been out? Are you all right?

[widow_of_the_crag]

I'm so sorry, Kitty.

[She knows how it is to have a loved one in a deep sleep. Her heart goes out to Kitty.]

Truly. Is there anything I can do? I could bring you something?

[scanninggaydis]

I'm sorry.

[They didn't have comas back in Camp, but they had people go inexplicably missing for stretches of time, and it's probably about the same level of nerve-wracking. Felix doesn't ask how she's doing, but the look on his face is faintly concerned anyway.]

I can't do much about engineering, but I can lend a hand in the studio if you still need it.
