ataraxion | 004 ☀ video ☀ i miss you

[ Jaye's sitting in the Oxygen Gardens, tucked away in a back corner near some grasses. She's wearing a plaid mens shirt that she hasn't worn out in public before, watching a grasshopper that has landed on one of the leather wristbands she got in her locker this past jump. Unlike her previous network experience this month, she looks more subdued; she's been doing a lot of thinking lately. ]

Nobody knows for sure where people go when they disappear from here, do they? I mean, people say "home", but we don't... know.

[ She turns her wrist, watching the grasshopper. ] And we don't know what the fuck anyone's up to without us, either.

[ The insect hops away, out of sight, and Jaye follows it with her eyes for a moment before looking back at her network device. ] ... Right, well. [ She shakes her head, smiling -- anyone who knows her well enough or who is particularly good at reading expressions should be able to tell it's forced. ] I've got some fun questions now. Favorite animal back home and why? Animal you'd consider the most dangerous and why? [ Yes that is somehow a fun question. Danger is fun, right guys? ... Right? ] All you people who aren't from Earth, you should tell me about the animals you guys have. It'd be interesting to hear about the differences.

((ooc: If you want to have your character find her in the oxygen garden, feel free!))

time stops while we're here. I've gone home before, during a jump. and somehow experienced months of memories while I was under. it doesn't make any sense to me, but it's true. which I know isn't a huge help, but that's what happened to me.

it stops?
it helps a little bit. at least i know they shouldn't be getting into trouble without me.

I left home at a certain point in time, spent two months here, and then... I went back, and I woke up right where I left off. somehow. and all the people that were here with me from home, they were all there too. and it wasn't like I remembered being here, while I was home, but it was really strange waking up after that.

but you didn't disappear, it was just during the jump? when no one can get out of the grav couches? weird.
yeah, that... sounds really fucking weird. suddenly two months older here. guess it would've been weirder it was longer but still.
i'm saying weird a lot but it's really weird.

weird is accurate. it was longer than two months, though. I was stuck here for two, but I went home for- almost half a year. I think? it's hard trying to remember when it all happened at once. maybe it was a little longer. apparently a lot can happen during the jumps.

[ for instance, I'm an undead monster now. ha ha ha. :( ]

oh whoops, sorry. got pollen in my eyes. though okay yeah that is... really fucking weird and if i were you i would probably just be drunk right now. or would have been right after the jump.

[ Oops :( ]
