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. ))

counted by day.

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

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

[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

[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.

[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

Are you willing to also undergo a mental examination?

Back off, Poindexter. She doesn't need the shrink brigade up in her face, all right?

voice

[jurisimpudent]

Er -

[Faith, playing white knight? Odd.]

Quite. You'll acknowledge the possibility, I hope, that she has suffered injury.

voice

[stacked]

Which is why her ass is going to get poked by some sharpass needles. Just let her breath, all right?

Jesus.

voice

[jurisimpudent]

So after she suffers the aforementioned being poked by needles, what harm is there in examining another internal organ for injury?

voice

[stacked]

The harm where I'm gonna jam my fist down your throat? Back off.

[tumbleweeds]

for what?

text;

[jurisimpudent]

Just a check-up. Have you ever been shifted that long before? Moreover, the brain is a delicate organ; we must check to see that it is functioning properly under such circumstances, just as we must check your lungs and kidneys.

[tumbleweeds]

he wouldn't have given me this gift if it was going to fuck up my brain

text;

[jurisimpudent]

We'll check for injury, then. Just one more step to a complete medical examination. What harm could it possibly do?

[tumbleweeds]

well it sounds like you think i'm fucking crazy so there's that

[northerner]

Leave her be, Miles Edgeworth. There will be time enough for this when she's settled.

[ surprise king in the north up in your face. ]

[jurisimpudent]

[There's a slight pause, and when Edgeworth speaks, the tone isn't the perhaps-expected sarcastic frustrated drawl. No: instead it's quiet, uncertain, because he remembers far too clearly the creature with the wolf's head, looking to trap Bran Stark.]

Right.

[He shakes his head, though, and tries to gather himself:]

Will you see to it that she goes, then?

[northerner]

Aye, I will see that she is looked after. You have my word.

[jurisimpudent]

That's not precisely an answer to my question. What is "being looked after"?

[northerner]

[ miles do you think robb really grasps the concept of mental health. ]

Whatever is necessary to make her well.
