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. ))

I'm sorry, is being confronted with the idiocy of what you did inconveniencing you? How terribly unfortunate.

i told you i'm not smart stop it

go away and leave me alone and take your gardening with you

No, all you keep giving me are excuses. I'm stupid, that's why I do stupid things. If you took a moment to think and a moment to learn, you'd find you're perfectly capable and intelligent. But perhaps you just prefer being stupid.

[ But she is. Scott's the smart one. She's the dumb one, the worthless one -- muscle and a pretty face and nothing else, nothing worth holding onto unless you're a hippie god who can't reach her here. Not that she was much better there -- couldn't find her brother, couldn't get Coyote to snap out of his slump until she got herself locked in a basement, couldn't do much of anything. Try to be worth something on the Tranquility and the one thing that makes her unique, makes her more than a pretty blonde with freckles, is something next to no one accepts.

She knew what she was doing. She knew she'd be okay. She didn't tell them because they'd stop her, because they wouldn't find out anything if she didn't. And she still can't comprehend why people are mad at her -- is it concern? For her? She's not sure why. All she can think about is the abandoned areas of Detroit she walked in the fog, the place that screams trash and worthless and this is where you belong. ]

don't see how it matters to you either way.

[ She wishes she could be mad right now. It'll come later, maybe. For now she's just tired in every way possible, fingers fumbling on her communicator to try and cut the connection before he says it doesn't. ]

I don't like seeing potential go to waste.

[ She doesn't want to her it, doesn't want to respond to it.

She does anyway. ]

maybe you'd better start working on your people skills. then you can teach them to the rest of the garden team
