[Hayley isn't really big on the network. When the random interactions you have with people tends to circle around to how someone "warned them" about you, it becomes a near survival instinct to avoid running into complete strangers or allowing yourself to be easily recognized simply for that sort of association.

Opting for text - even if it attaches her floor and number to it - feels a bit safer.]

did anyone take a count of the ones that didn't wake up during that jump and then figure out if anyone still didn't make it out? not just didn't wake up, but ones that were just gone.

it's not like we take a headcount each jump. unless we do and I've been missing it each time.

what if that was the first jump for someone? brand new to the ship and a month in the tube before they even realize they've been taken.

[There's a while before she sends one final comment.]

Is this just going to be something I shouldn't be worrying about?

people who werent asleep last time have gone this time
it doesnt connect like that

what do you mean? people who were awake have left, but all the people that were asleep stuck around?

i mean i had a friend who was awake
and then this time he was gone
people who were sleeping woke up

theres no connections like youre thinking its not all logic

i wasn't looking for a connection, I just wanted to know if anyone left and no one ever saw them. if that was their first jump and they didnt wake up. and then it was the next jump and they were gone.

I'm overthinking it, but it's on my mind, so I can't not think about it.

think people always wake up from their first jump. its the later ones you have to worry about

worried you wont wake up?

I don't know if I'd call it worry. there are just certain things that make me uneasy about being in there for a month.

i think by definition that qualifies as worrying

uneasy you wont make it back?

[She doesn't just tell people these things. It's not like magic, where he can just tell people he can make things float or offer flying brooms. That's simple and ...well, magical. What she has is horrible and violent. People on this ship have been warned against her.]

can i trust you with something?

thats for you to say isnt it
but yeah

go on

no I get that. this would be easier if you had seen memories of mine already.

that girl asking about werewolves for idiotic reasons - I have a reason to be concerned about people looking into werewolves and if i am in those tubes for thirty days - one of those days will be a big problem for me.

[oh werewolf problems. got it.]

one of my best mates is a werewolf
didnt have any trouble

i know werewolves work differently depending on where youre from but if he turned whilst in the tubes then he stayed asleep for it
everyoens sore afterwards but he never said anything about feeling particularly werewolf-sore

[a beat; he adds:]

& agreed that girls a bloody idiot

that makes things a lot easier then.

the best friend part. thank you for trusting me with that.

my shift is every twenty-nine days. 1 lunar cycle. it keeps moving closer to the jump date.

he wouldnt have minded. people are better about werewolves here than they are elsewhere with a few exceptions
but its easy to deal with those exceptions, thats what they make airlocks for

[thanks for trusting me too is maybe the proper response, but he gets distracted by the latter bit. because that timeline sounds less than good.]

does anyone help you with it
your shifts i mean

it depends on your definition of helping.

meaning......?

meaning they find a place they think will hold me and lock me in and wait outside for it to be over.

[She actually doesn't mind her shift - despite the incredible amount of pain she endures. It's the isolation before, during, and after that she hates.]

your friends? thats the they?
think thats all most people know how to do

pretty sure they dont consider themselves my friends.
but its fine. last month it came the night before and i did fine on my own.
my room didnt like the results but i was fine.

what do you do at home?

the woods.

theres better ways

[Remus gets a potion, later. He remembers that, even if it isn't viable here. And there was Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, but like hell he's offering that to her. That's for Remus. But he's not heartless, and he's no werewolf advocate, but calling him sympathetic to werewolf issues would be putting it lightly.]

we had this charmed corridor for my friend if you want it. better than being locked in one room.

not at home there isn't.

im not sure your magic would work on my kind of wolf, but thank you for the offer.

it doesnt work ON you as a wolf it works out whats around you
corridor far away from everyone, locked doors, charms to warn people about getting off the lift on that level if theyre too stupid to run away from a werewolf growling
transfigured shoes to mice so youd have something to chase
&c.

if you want to try it i mean youre welcome to

oh.

is there an expiration date on the offer?

aside from me disappearing? no. whenever. just let me know.
