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. ))

How do they even treat what happened to you?

Make you drink plenty of orange juice? Preemptive radiation for cancer?

[tumbleweeds]

they have me ease back into using my voice and hover around me whenever i try moving in case i try to use six legs instead of two

Are you having trouble shifting into different forms now, as well?

Or have they simply not let you until you get used to your own body again?

[ Eames is so ignant sorry girl. ]

[tumbleweeds]

i can shift just fine. it just makes the sensors go crazy and they get all pissed.

[ Tsk tsk. ]

Doctors are rather particular about their alarms, no matter on Earth or in space, I'd say.

Have you never kept a form for that long?

[tumbleweeds]

not straight through. not alone.

[ There's a part of Eames that wants to ask if she was scared or if she forgot to be, being an insect - but it's not as though she actually became an insect, did she? More that she reflected the form of it in ways he himself is used to, aside from the restrictions.

The next question might've been so are you magic but he doesn't want to be that obvious yet. ]

Shifting is rather common where you come from, I take it.

[tumbleweeds]

not even remotely. not unless you're a god or given a gift by a god.

i'd be the latter, in case there was any confusion about that.

Curiosity, mostly. What made you so appealing to receive it?

[tumbleweeds]
