Who: Leilani Lavellan & you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish, if you knock her door down
When: After reconstruction

I hope someone fed Da'Fen.

[ This is awkward. How do you say 'hello, I died but now I'm back' to a fleet of people? She's never really been through all of this before. Almost dying isn't the same as actually dying, apparently. ]

That wasn't fun. I don't recommend it, if anyone was curious.

Comments

[samahl]

Welcome back.

[This whole thing is messed up, and it's even worse that he's getting used to the idea of the dead returning.

Still, he's happy to see her back on the Fleet.]

[veilstrike]

Thank you.

Are you well, lethallin?

[samahl]

Worried, but that's not unusual when this place insists on hurting those I care about.

How are you?

[veilstrike]

Fine. Alive, surprisingly.

[samahl]

A welcome truth, despite the surprise of it.

[meowbel]

Da'Fen? Whose's that?

Whoever they are, it must be someone epic with a name like that!

[veilstrike]

[ that is the CUTEST response ever ]

Da'Fen is my dog.

[meowbel]

Really? Then he must be one really epic dog! I bet he must have super strength or super speed! Like some kind of superhero dog or something!

[And there Mabel goes...!]

[veilstrike]

He shoots arrows from his eyes.

[meowbel]

No. Way.

No seriously, how can he do that? Wouldn't his eyes hurt or something? Because that's gotta be an eye sore!

[Mabel...!]

[ Screw texting, Dorian is going to go right for audio. After everything that happened, he's been in a vicious cycle of drinking and fretting and making rather...influenced decisions. If what Bull said is right, maybe she won't turn him away.. ]

..Leilani? [ His voice is carefully controlled, but she knows him better than anyone, she may be able to hear the slight hesitation in calling her name gently. ]

audio;;

[veilstrike]

Dorian. [ There's the same hesitation in her own voice, but... She can't deny how happy she is to hear his voice again. She doesn't really know what to do or say, but she swallows back her tension and her uncertainty, forcing herself into some kind of measure of calm. ] Fancy hearing you around here.

audio;;

[fantachetic]

Fasta vass.. [ The curse is muttered in surprise. He's heard vaguely about people coming back, but he didn't put much stock into it. When people came back, they were usually undead, or worse.. This opens an entirely new can of worms that he's not ready for, but is so relieved by its existence that he will unpack this later. ]

I could say much the same thing about you.

audio;;

[veilstrike]

[ She knows they're going to have to talk properly at some point, but she doesn't have the energy. She's tired - exhausted, actually - and she's missing an arm with some brand new scars to go with it.

Eventually. Not now. ]

People keep trying to keep me down and it doesn't work. You think they'd learn.

audio;;

[fantachetic]

One would think, yes. [ There is a pregnant pause before he takes a breath. ]

Leilani, I-- [ Another pause as he considers what he wants to say. He sighs. ]

..was a terrible ass to you. Something that you did not entirely deserve. [ Entirely. She deserved some of it, okay? He chose his words carefully. ]

[theirondragon]

[He just stares at this for a long time. It doesn't make sense. People don't just die, twice, and then come back. It just...it doesn't-]

Leilani?

[veilstrike]

Hi, Bull.

I'll tell Riona to get a stick. [ She knows you, buddy. ]

[theirondragon]

I'm going to need more than a stick.

How?

[veilstrike]

Apparently this is how this place works. Death isn't permanent.

[theirondragon]

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad.

Places don't just work that way. Does that mean all those people-

nevermind. I'm glad you're okay.

[There is just... so much. So much going through her head, so much she wants to say. But what of it is worth saying? So she just goes for:]

please don't ever do that again. are you still on the marsiva?

[veilstrike]

[ This... Is going to hurt. ]

Sorry.

I'm back on the ship.

[bryces_pup]

I suppose I don't have room to talk, as it was Bull who had to do it, but

[She still watched. Still had to see it play out over and over in her mind and lose sleep over it.]

Anyway, are you feeling all right? Are you up for company?

Re: text

[veilstrike]

I’ll get him a really big stick.

[ Inside joke, maybe? She’s not sure what Bull did after she died. ]

If you want to come I won’t turn you away.

text -> action

[bryces_pup]

...I think I'm missing something there.

All right.

[To probably no one's surprise, a few minutes later, there's a gentle knock on Leilani's door. Riona braces herself for what she might see. While people come back from the dead, that doesn't mean they come back unscathed. Kiter sits in front of the door with her, there for pets and moral support.]
