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

[ 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. ))

Oh. [ Yeah, no idea what to say to that. ]

Yeah, I got it. [ Her arms are working just fine, and they're wrapped around Tony's neck, locking there. ] Let me know if this isn't working.

I'd just have had someone else do it. Or you know, left you there. [ It's okay Jaye, he's just busy being an idiot in his head. ]

It's fine, I can take it. [ There's a grunt when Tony gets up, but thankfully he looks like he's steady on his feet so Jaye should be fine. ] Doctors are dumb, for the record. Not all of them but the ones kind of like we have here who are a little too high and mighty for my taste, you know.

Thor was one of yours, right? [ As in from his world, a friend. ]

That's what she said, [ she mutters slightly, laughing to herself before wincing. Ow. ] Don't have to tell me that.

Yeah, one of mine. Fought with him. Made fun of his clothes. We're— if he didn't have to run home to Asgard we would have gotten a lot closer back at home. Still, there's a floor for him at my house for when he gets his ass back on Midgard and shit. [ He almost wishes Thor was here, because then that's his entire team. The Avengers would be here and it'd be perfect in a certain way. ]

She shouldn't laugh about taking it. [ A beat. ] I know. I'm just— if there was another option, I'd take you to it. And I'd like to maybe make sure you're fine.

I liked him. Reminded me of home. Sif, too. If he comes back and doesn't remember, put in a word for me? [ She's not sure why she's asking, why she's making herself talk to Tony when it hurts to do so, when her voice sounds like hell even to herself. ]

Maybe it was a reassurance. [ She'd shrug if she weren't, you know, being carried. ] I'm fine. Shift side-effects from being in one form for so long, 's all.

As if I'd do anything but. [ There's a pause. ] And be careful around Loki. The one, at least from my world, isn't exactly a nice guy. That was who we were fighting. Thor and I. [ He understands why, because he's been there, where it hurts to talk or focus, but you do because it's what you want and what you feel like you need to. ]

If she said it and the guy had a tiny dick he'd feel bad. [ There's an eyeroll from Tony that he's thankful she can't see. ] I don't doubt that, but what's the longest you've stayed shifted before this?

Trickster. Shouldn't trust them even if they are nice. [ She huffs out a laugh. ] 'course, I work for one. But that's different. We're family, so it works.

[ She doesn't know why she's telling Tony that, either. Maybe because part of her is more afraid than she's letting on, because she's been without anyone for a month and Tony is there, her first actual physical contact and solid and real. ]

Better prove he can use it, then. [ A hum. ] Continuously? Dunno. Never counted. And if Coyote was there it was different.

I never did. Trying to take over the planet, not exactly budding friendship starter, you know? [ And then Tony laughs. ] Because true family doesn't betray other family, right?

[ The thing is, Tony can't even really begrudge her for doing this because if the positions had been reversed, he knows that there wouldn't be a real verbal mouth filter with him. Though somewhere inside Tony is feeling itchy and bothered and wrong by how she's doing this with him. Instead of someone else. ]

And if he's better with his tongue? [ ...what. ] How different?

Mm. Not the family you pick. [ She shifts her head, rests it on his shoulder. ] He's why I'm alive.

[ Later she'll kick herself for being sentimental, but it won't be as hard as it once was. It'll take her longer than she realizes to stop craving more touch, to stop craving people. ]

Then he's got a good shot. [ Another hum. ] Just different.

Right, and if they do, they deserve to be punched in the face. [ Hum. ] Rhodey. My brother from another mother. Kind of a life saver. Banner too. So I get it.

[ Tony's hands tighten a bit and there's an exhale like Tony doesn't know why he did that, but it's just something he did. And that's that, isn't it? ]

Then I say they ignore the fucking all together. Oral's more fun anyway. [ ...well then. ] You still want me to stay down there with you until someone else gets there?

My apprentice is here. Kind of. Wrong universe. Doesn't know me. It's weird.

[ "Weird" is an understatement. Devastating had been more of a correct term when she'd first found out. ]

You say that again when it feels like you've been deepthroating a giant dick for the past month. [ Classy descriptions. ] If you don't mind.

I have a version of me here without the chest piece. It's just as weird. Weirder, actually. Other universes are stupid.

[ Eloquence, thy name is Tony. ]

There was one time really hazy around the time I was like 18. [ Tony, stop. ] And as soon as someone else gets there?

Mine's an exorcist.

[ Because exorcist is somehow weirder than "shapeshifter because he works for a god". ]

Hazy. Doesn't count. [ This time she really does shrug before catching herself. ] 's up to you. [ Actually- ] Well, depends on who it is.

Mine called Bruce, who seriously, is as smart as me an idiot. Also, like the movie? As in Catholic bullshit, you're going to hell, the power of Christ compels you shit?

[ Because that's the proper way to describe an exorcist. Good job, Tony. ]

There's been other times. Don't tell anyone though. [ There's a long pause before Tony speaks. ] I can't risk Kirk and them seeing me. Kirk is already gonna see my encryption on this. I'll stay, but I have to hightail it out of there as soon as someone comes. I don't really...want to, but getting into a fight right now, not exactly what I feel like doing today.

Well I don't think he's Catholic. Maybe I should have called him a Ghostbuster with a side of random supernatural shit killing, which really is not the sort of thing you want to hear when you can shapeshift.

[ Team bad descriptions. ]

Can I watch next time? [ Jaye. ] They can all go fuck themselves.

Tell me he at least said, Jaye, I'm not going to kill you because I know another you and were tight or something like that. Because then I'm going to have to go hit him.

[ Best team on the planet tbqh. ]

Get Pepper to agree with it and I might say yes. [ Tony. ] Well, yeah, but, I've also got family here. The family I chose? And I need to talk to them too. And I'm kind of shit company in a medical area.

He said he doesn't know if he'll turn on me or not.

[ So go ahead and punch him, Tony. ]

Badass. [ Jaye. ] You don't have to explain it, Tony.

Punching him it is then. Good to know. Should I growl like a wolf too?

[ He will. Later. ]

You still have to convince her. [ Tony. ] I don't want you to think I'm abandoning you like a dick who used you. No offense.

Nah. The punching'd work. He was always an idiot.

[ Yes good. ]

I will. [ Or she'll try. ] Mm, wouldn't be the first time if you did.

Oh, my favorite sort of people to punch. You're kind of making my day with this.

Make sure you tape it. [ Yeah, he likes you Jaye, but no. ] Not sleeping with you. And you risked your life. And I'm me. Let's not lump me in with everyone else.

Just don't break him. He's still mine.

[ Because that's how she works. There are people who are hers and then there's everyone else. ]

Can do. [ She snorts a little. ] Gets hard to remember, but I'll try.

He'll just be a little bruised. No broken bones. Promise.

[ Which might be a lie. If he breaks something of Kane's, oops. ]

I'll remind you if you think of doing it. Eventually we'll get to the point where I'm just unlumpable. [ His hands tighten a bit before he makes a noise. ] You wanna stop talking now just. Because you sound like shit. Seriously, I think I've heard myself sound better off of like weekend benders.

Edited (tony stark has a penis, self, not a vagina. b a d typo.) 2012-10-18 03:14 (UTC)

Well, just don't break anything he might need. His nose is fair game.

[ Jaye you are the worst boss. ]

Unlumpable. [ She giggles, which turns into coughing. At least she doesn't retch. ] Month's longer than a weekend.

So permission to break his rib too, or?

[ Tony that's not nice. ]

Shut up, it's the only not word I could think of. You underestimate my benders. Though, hey, if a month is longer than a weekend, oh my god, I think my point is even more proven and question still stands.

He might start hitting back at some point, you know.

[ Just saying. ]

Yeah, yeah. [ But she is half-cuddling you now okay. While being carried. Shut up it makes sense in my head. ]
