Second Time Bitten ✗ Video

[The feed flicks on to the redhead, looking concerned. Her normal semi-cheerful smile is gone, and those who know her would know she hasn't been herself since the last jump.]

I know I ain't the first person who's come back here before. I mean however long the jump normally lasts? I went back home for a few weeks. Seems like there's always something. [Which she's fine with. She always seems to manage, make it through. But now with Bill being as brainwashed as he is, and everything completely fucked, it's taken a lot out of her.]

Guess I'm just wonderin' how y'all cope with knowin' that there's some pretty heavy shit goin' on back home, and there's nothin' you can do about it.

[She chews on her lip for a moment.] I think it's the not knowin' that's botherin' me the most. I ain't helpless. Best part'a bein' a vampire is you can really fuck some things up, but what do you do when another vampire-- who is supposed to be dead [thank you, Eric]-- is three thousand years old and about to attack like an entire race of-- well whatever fairies are? Not to mention someone close to you.

And I'm here. In space hell again. [She gives an exaggerated smile.] Fantastic.

Me too. [ he misses everyone but if they can't all be here to enjoy the peace and the hiccups of terror, it doesn't seem right. ] I've been trying to stay busy but you can only train or walk around so much. I don't drink or think about shoving people out airlocks and that seems to be what's popular lately. I keep hoping it's only talk about the last one.

Isn't it always? [ the big I word. immortal. he gives her a half smile, shaking his head no before he fills in the blanks. ] No, I'm very mortal. Not for lack of being offered the other one, though. What's it like, knowing you're going to live forever?
