@t.stark - pick a day any day

[billionaires]

This has been your friendly swim-by wellness check 🧜‍♀️

@z

[hackedhistory]

Alive. Wound up in the same group with Steve. You?

[billionaires]

Obviously didn't end up with you and Steve so bumming. Glad you guys are okay though.

[hackedhistory]

Yeah, and glad we can talk again. Keep in touch if you run into trouble.

after the return

[sassy_assassin]

[ Sara's pissed about how things went down. Sure, her crew has ruined their fair amount of time periods, but they've also been given the chance to fix them. They come through with a plan, every time. Getting plucked back to the temple was tantamount to giving up, with no hope of going back and changing events.

But for as hard as it has been for her to deal with everything, it's definitely landed on the spectrum of "annoyance". With Zari, she can tell it's something... else.

She's been trying to give her a little space, but decides that it's time to engage, so she goes to find Zari. ]

[hackedhistory]

[Zari is on her way back from unloading on Tony, and in a lot of ways, she feels kind of bad about that. She glimpsed into his greatest fears and still unleashed it on him anyway, but that doesn't make any of this better.

She glances up when she sees Sara, and for a moment she's tempted to avoid some more, but she knows Sara's just going to keep pushing, so she sighs and waits for her to catch up.]

I'm fine.

[She's not, but she's better than she was.]

[sassy_assassin]

[ she does catch up, and puts on a bit of a breezy attitude ]

Well, that's always true. You're very fine, Zee.

[hackedhistory]

[It takes her a second to realize what she means by that, before making a face.]

Don't do that. That's weird.

text. | right after they return

[valuedstrength]

Location? I've got whatever hot drink you want and enough strength to make sure your face isn't covered in red dots for the next couple of days.

[hackedhistory]

My room.

[She's been playing to just shake it off, or rather wait it out because part of her feels like she should be suffering, but at the same time she doesn't know if she can come back from the suffering so she better just let Steve fix her.]

Tea please.

[valuedstrength]

[There's no text back. Steve's only warning is a gentle knock on the door with his left hand while bearing tea for her in the other about fifteen minutes later.] Zari? May I come in?

[hackedhistory]

It's open.

[Which is her way of saying yes. She slowly pushes herself up into a sitting position with a bit of a groan, turning to face him as he comes in.]

You okay?

[geomagnetically]

[ Lorna's been back a few short weeks, and is running a little behind on catching up with any familiar names. Some have disappeared since her return. She did hear she missed a complete and total Genosha-level shitshow, though.

She only talked to Zari once, maybe twice, before she was abruptly gone from here for a few weeks, but that doesn't mean she's not going to reach out anyway. ]

Hey. Uhhh, it's Lorna. Green hair, probably bitched about not having magnet powers here. I figured it wouldn't hurt to reach out now that I'm back, since apparently this place is already having its kicks with making at least passingly familiar names to me go poof.

[ She's not necessarily expecting a reply, just letting her know that she's ... around. ]

[hackedhistory]

Hi, Lorna. Yeah, I remember. How long have you been back?

[geomagnetically]

Few weeks. Got the cliff notes. Your people okay?

[hackedhistory]

A lot of them aren't here anymore, so I'm choosing to assume yes.

[annalist]

hey zari do you want to see something dumb i drew as a kid?

[hackedhistory]

When you put it like that, I kind of have to. Where are you?

[annalist]

i knew you wouldn't be able to resist. i think it was astoria's gift to me. i'm in my room

text;

[sinistral]

[Not long after her vote to destroy the doors on Joikull...]

You okay?

text ; to end

[hackedhistory]

Yeah. I didn't actually expect it to go my way.

[And she's not resentful about it either, she's just worried about how many more snow friends are going to melt before they manage to get back.]

[sinistral]

I know the feeling.

[There's really no right answer in a situation like this.]

[invasif]

You heard her, yes? Alcina.

text ; to end

[hackedhistory]

I did. Once things settled a little I was going to go see if I could find anything at the caverns.

[Part of her is having some bad feelings about all of this, and she's starting to wonder if "Be free" meant more than just Joikull.]

[invasif]

We know there was some kind of energy contained there. I wonder on the fate of the lake creatures.
