my apprentice is still working on me with facebook. but i don't think he wants me to untag myself from pictures anyway so he's probably not too helpful on purpose.
yeah, that coyote.
[ And it's nice, having someone else who knows, who can say the old stories. ]
shapeshift. any animal. i don't need to return to my human form to change between others and i can do it as quickly, slowly, fully, or partially as i want. my brain's still human, though i'm animal enough that i can blend in.
not much of a secret anymore, at least not entirely. i kind of stampeded during that gas shit.
[ This is how it works. The info she doesn't steal from you, the stuff that you give her willingly, she returns with information in turn. Quid pro puo. ]
[ She's never said that before, never gave the ship ownership over the things that are happening to them. Never until now, until :) and all the rest. Jaye doesn't know that, but Aberdeen does and part of it makes her uncomfortable. ]
yes. you ask me.
tell me his name. tell me what he looks like. tell me what he sounds like.
when he disappeared, he had it with him. he never let it out of his sight. and now i have it.
[ And it's killing her. ]
scott. blue eyes, dark hair -- darker than mine, curly when it grows out. track runner's sort of build; he's not really broad, or he wasn't when i last saw him. we're both from detroit so we have that sort of not-accent. he's the younger one and the smart one. his voice isn't too deep -- tenor, i think that's the term.
[ An older sister reminded of a younger brother; a younger sister reminded of an older one. The irony of it is lost on Aberdeen, who is already running a trace of the Network's previous broadcasts. Searching. (If Eli were here, he'd look for her too. He'd run himself ragged and bloody the walls with his fists when he couldn't find any better solutions and maybe that's why Aberdeen helps.)
Her answer doesn't come straight away and when it does come, what it means isn't clear. ]
i'm sorry.
[ Sorry about the knife. Sorry about him not being here. Sorry about being a walking reminder. It could mean any of these things. Or all of them. ]
[ Scott would look for her, too. He'd talk to people, charm them the way he's always been able to, break into whatever he could to find her. He'd understand the riddles. Any where brains failed, he'd use his knife. But she doesn't know if he's alive or dead, and thinking about him hurts just a little too much. ]
thank you
[ For trying. For contacting her at all. For telling her. ]

text; i realized after the fact that it was kind of weird grammatically on my end orz
fair warning.
but offer still stands.
[ She doesn't know why, to be honest. But Aberdeen has never been the most self-aware person on the block. ]
old man coyote named buffalo, deer, elk, antelopes, and bear.
and all these came into being.

he's not aboard the ship.
[ And then, after a moment, because a deal's a deal (even if Jaye hasn't agreed to this one explicitly): ]
