006 ☀ video ☀ FORWARD-DATED to a few minutes POST-JUMP end

[tumbleweeds]

[ There are a few things everyone might notice about this video post. One is that there's no way Jaye could have gotten from the medbay to the kitchen on the 001 passenger floor this quickly. Two is that her hair looks both dirtier and longer than usual, and instead of either happily mussed or neatly groomed, it's just a complete mess. Three is that, judging by the way Jaye sort of seems to be wobbling back and forth on the floor and has burst capillaries in her face, she was just rather sick and might be so again. Likewise, anyone who looked around before or after the jump may have noticed that Jaye wasn't there -- didn't go down, didn't go into the gravity couches, and that Faith Lehane was looking after her animals. ]

So. [ Her voice is hoarse, quiet, and the rasp is completely new and sounds painful –- in fact, she has to pause, clearing her throat for a moment. It doesn't go away completely, but she's a bit louder, at least. ] I-- [ and she winces ] sat out during the jump as an insect. Don’t do that. It was a month. Everything was red, copper and salt, until it ended.

[ It hurts to talk, and Jaye takes a moment to rub at her throat. ] Want a shower, food.

[ She pauses, glancing away from the camera for a moment. Her eyes aren’t exactly wet, and maybe it's from her earlier vomiting, but either way... ] Missed you guys. [ And she cuts the feed. ]

((ooc: MCU!Tony will be getting her from the kitchen and carrying her down to medical. Her replies will probably come from after she's there and probably be in text form. If your character wants to go visit her there (or fuss at her or whatever), I'd be up for it, but be warned that she's having a bit of a hard time talking at the moment and will set Faith on you if she feels shitty.

Also someone might want to clean up the 001 kitchen. ))

Dr. Tam. Have you spoken with him? Are you familiar with him?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

no

[jurisimpudent]

He knows what he is about. He'll ensure that you're physically better.

[tumbleweeds]

it's just my throat

[jurisimpudent]

A full physical examination will reveal the truth of that. Madam, look around at the others who are replying; if you do not submit yourself to some sort of treatment, it shan't be merely Mr. Stark who sits upon you.

[tumbleweeds]

that really would result in internal injuries

text;

[jurisimpudent]

So be wise.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

yeah, yeah

[jurisimpudent]

Good.

Now what is this about "a month"?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

that's how long it was

text;

[jurisimpudent]

The jump?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

yeah. i counted.

text;

[jurisimpudent]

How?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

1, 2, 3, 4...

text;

[jurisimpudent]

And, what, you counted to [A moment while he pulls up the calculator function on his comm device - ] 2.7 million seconds?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

counted by day.

though if i knew how long it was gonna take i might have thought about trying seconds, it was boring.

text;

[jurisimpudent]

How could you tell the days? Were you able to move around, operate your comm device, etc.?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

i could move. and i have a pretty decent internal clock

text;

[jurisimpudent]

So then the pressure was not too extreme?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

not as an insect. but i couldn't shift back or i would've gone splat

text;

[jurisimpudent]

How did you survive?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

i stayed as a bug. all sorts of things to eat if you're an insect.

text;

[jurisimpudent]

I don't understand, though. Wouldn't pressure have kept you stationary? And how could it take a full month? I thought it was instantaneous or nearly so.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

i never took physics. but it doesn't do that for the other insects.

it was a month. i don't know how it could take that long but it did
