Back from the Dead

Who: Remy, Kurt, and open.
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: On the Twin Roses.
When: Backdated to 9th October.

[Several weeks after the loss of the planet, both Remy and Kurt seem fit enough to finally head back to the Twin Roses. Or at least fit enough to roll themselves out of the beds they had been left in to wake up and recover from their not-so-near death experience.]

‘nd I thought the day after Mardi Gras was bad. Merde, remind me never to be down on an explodin’ planet again, feel like ‘ve been stuck in a tumble drier filled of swamp water ‘nd set spinnin’ for two weeks on end.

Lebeau, if you don’t stop complaining I’m going to put you back on that planet. Gott, I haven’t felt this horrible since I was a child. [Kurt paused, raising a hand to shove his shoulder-length hair out of his eyes] Und my hair is in my fucking face. [He’s going to pretend that didn’t sound at all like a pathetic whine.]

Thought that kinda comes with the whole fur thing, ya know, hair in the face. [Look at him, he’s just so funny, isn’t it? Though they had to come back to reality eventually, as much fun as it was to avoid it and just muck around.] How angry ya think Kitty will be at us? Though, in my defense, I had been usin’ ya as the messenger, so ya the one who failed to tell her, not me.

[Hilarious, and Kurt is about to tell him in no minced words just how well his humor is going over when the other man mentions Kitty. What spirit Kurt has deflates, his tail drooping far enough to drag on the ground.] I doubt you’ll have any worries about her wrath once she sees me.

Ahh, [Remy reached out to pat a hand against Kurt’s shoulder, maybe a bad thing at the sudden movement didn’t help anything, making him winch before he dropped his hand again.] We’ll face her together, after all, we stuck in this together, hein? Seems only right with ya bein’ an idiot ‘nd coming back for me.

[A faint smile twitches at the corners of his mouth, even as he very carefully shakes his head.] Don't make promises, Lebeau. You might want to kill me too when this is over.

Though, [Remy started as he moved to pull out his comm, activating it so he could say the next part into it as well as saying it to Kurt. Kurt forced himself to straighten, crossing his arms over a chest that's broader than its been in years.] Guess while we at it it be good to let everyone know we’re, ya know, back alive? Which be a good thing, don’t recommend the dyin’ but glad to be brought back. I just may be spendin’ the next week or two in bed still. Donno what they do to ya while ya out, but merde if it ain’t a number on ya.

I have a few theories.

[To Kurt.] Guessin’ we ain’t really goin’ to get ‘ny sympathy over it though, considerin’ what we did.

At this point I'd settle for the mercy of a swift death. [Kurt glances toward the comm, giving a good shot of his face; lean, but noticeably younger by the better part of a decade. His hair is longer too, falling around his shoulders.] Any takers?


[Feel free to tag either of the boys, or both.]

Aimed at Remy, but Kurt can definitely chime in

Kitty isn't going to be your main problem very shortly, Remy Lebeau.

[ Oh, he was annoyed. Annoyed and kind of proud, but choosing to be annoyed despite that being a little hypocritical because he had pulled this shit before - but that wasn't the point! ]

Oh, you know, woke up from my month long nap to find out you were dead. So, dandy.

[ Sarcasm. It is heavy. ]

[When a person wakes up from a two-month Kitty nap they have to expect a certain amount of change. She figured people would have come and gone in that time as difficult as that can be. She assumed they would have passed a system or two and that she missed some better food and shopping opportunities and that's all true and it definitely happened. But she got a lot more than she bargained for hearing about the trauma the others went through and more than that she learned they'd lost people. She lost crewmates. She lost friends. She lost teammates. And no amount of Wrath—with a famously poor memory—remembering some detail about how people come back to life here with no other details made her feel much better about the situation. It had already been over a week and the days kept ticking by. People came back to life in Marina too, but it took exactly one day. Wake up and they were back. And there were usually...problems. She didn't know what to expect with this and while that's a common enough theme in her life she's never gotten to appreciate it. So, when she started hearing people on the network she knew were supposed to be dead her heart leapt and she searched the ship before searching the network more.]

KURT
[You know how sometimes you come back from the dead and then suddenly an arm shoots out of a nearby wall, grabbing you and pulling you through it? Yeah, it's one of those days. Fight or flight? Fight or flight? If you don't act fast you're getting attacked...by a small girl hugging you as tightly as he can, heart pounding through her chest.]

REMY
[Remy manages to get a less dramatic homecoming. She sees him in a hallway and then she's running up to hug him. Try not to lose your balance, cajun!] Idiot!

[ He will laugh later. Maybe. Not now. ]

It's not going great for you right now.

[ BOOM. ]

You mean other than popcorn.gif at the two of them?

[Kurt, jerk that he is, let's Remy suffer a little before chiming in.] Don't be too harsh on him, Kirk. I was supposed to bring him home and didn't.

[ Kirk continues to glare at him from his end of things. ]

I want to see for myself. Ask Kurt to pop you over here. I'm sure he can.

[ OH AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN. ]

Wrath isn't going to be your only problem either, Kurt.

[personal profile] universal_charm 2017-10-15 04:45 am (UTC)(link)

Don't blame me if the coffee is cold when you get here.

[ In other words, come, but he's still mad at you and worried and he is not going to reward you for crazy behavior. Well, probably not. ]

Nein, she'll need to compete with Kitty, Vash, and--

[A sudden concern shows through the poker face.] Did Chekov make it off the planet alright?
universal_charm: (Default)

[personal profile] universal_charm 2017-10-15 06:21 am (UTC)(link)

Yes, Chekov is fine, and I didn't mean any of those three when I said they wouldn't be your only problem after Wrath.

[Kurt is sicker than he's been since he was a child; the fever reminds him of those years, and waking in the middle of the night to see Victor, a mountain of a man, curled up at the foot of his bed.

He's caught up in nostalgia and contemplating a cold bath to try and break the fever when, suddenly, a very familiar arm is yanking him through a wall. He doesn't even try to fight, his jaw tensing in anticipation of a punch, and instead finds himself being clung to. He blinks dumbly down at her, his hands hovering above her shoulders.]
.. Katzchen?

[personal profile] ecclesiophobic 2017-10-15 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurt sighs in relief, his shoulders slumping.] Good. He's a good man, that one. Too good to die on that planet. [An opinion Kurt doesn't share about himself, apparently.

Kirk's statement gets a blank stare before Kurt shakes his head, dismissing it.]
Whatever you say. When do I report for my dressing down?
universal_charm: (Default)

[personal profile] universal_charm 2017-10-15 06:46 am (UTC)(link)

I hadn't realized you two were so close.

[ No, no, it meant precisely what you think it meant, Kurt. ]

As soon as you can.

[Kurt shrugs, the move surprisingly forceful. In this younger body, muscle memory remembers wearing metal on his shoulders.] He knows enough German to curse me in it. [Said as though that should explain everything.

Given how he feels, all he's coming up with is something to do with them both being military. He's dense.] Alright. Assuming Kitty doesn't kill me on the way, I'll teleport over in a minute.

We did. [She pulls back, feeling just slightly embarrassed that she just did that. It's not the kind of thing she would have done since she was much younger, but they're mutants. They change. In some rare instances they even get the time and space they need to start healing.]

Are you still you? Not some weird, murderous zombie version of you? And would you tell me if you were?

[There are so many things to say—things to yell—but she can't get them out. Not yet. Her throat feels thick and tight and her eyes are in dangerous territory of getting watery, so she shakes her head against him in reply and holds tighter. She just needs to know and feel that he's alive. Really alive again and back here with her.

She came to this place alone. She has no rights to anyone. But he showed up and he can't just leave that way. It takes a moment for the wrong parts to settle in. He's too warm and did he look right before she was burying her face in against his fur?]

[personal profile] ecclesiophobic 2017-10-15 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[His heart is beating, quickly but steadily, and he's breathing with only a little strain. That might be because of how tightly she's clinging, but he's not about to pry her loose. Once the shock of being greeted with a hug wears off, Kurt wraps his arms around her tightly, his tail snaking around her calf. When he tucks his head next to hers, his hair is long enough to brush her neck, and his cheek is hot. Kurt's not going to say a word; he might say something ridiculous.]

[For just a moment as he holds her in return she just lives in the embrace. The knowledge she's not alone. She still has him, but the warmth is too much.]

You're sick. [Which she means literally even if it could apply to that last message he sent her. Oh, yeah, she got it. One of her hands loosens it's grip to slide up and touch his cheek, confirming her theory before it threads into his long hair. There was a time this length is what she'd expect, but that time wasn't two months ago before she went into a coma.]

What'd they do to you?

[personal profile] ecclesiophobic 2017-10-15 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been worse. [It applies to both meanings of the phrase. His eyes close when her hand presses against his cheek, cool enough against his fur that he leans into the touch. And then its gone, and his burning eyes crack open to peer vaguely at her.]

Other than someone screwed up? [Because he's not supposed to be this young, even if he's glad of it right now. Who knows how much worse this would feel in his thirties?] Long story, most of it hallucinations--unless they're actually keeping McCoy hidden in a lab, which would explain a few things.
