14 - video; caring isn't sharing; it's CHECKING UP ON YOU.

[hungryanhorny]

 [Public - backdated to the flood:

Faith's tired, but her face is somewhat set; it was a wary trip, and she knows - out of everyone - she was one of the lucky few; unfortunately, she watched a lot of good people fall all around her; during her own escape plan. She was relatively prepared to die to escape - wake up in the barge beds; she was far less content to watch a bunch of other people die while she managed to live.

She's trying to pretend it doesn't bug her, though, whe she turns her attention to the comm. There's a few people in particular she wants to see, and she's hoping they'll pop their heads on screen.]

Everyone back in one piece?

[Private to Steph. -

Faith's letting just a little bit of worry slip through her facade of casualness, though she keeps her tone light as she speaks into the comm.] 

You alright, BG?


[Private to Barbara.]

Hey babs.

Faith leans back in a chair, trying not to show any discomfort; what bruises she had are already fading - she'll be back to normal in no time; but she hasn't rested yet; she wants to check up on her inmate first. In her own way,] 

Up for a drink?

[It's not often that Barbara's at a loss for words, but as she stares at her Warden - at the woman who sacrificed her freedom for her - it takes her a moment to speak.]

You should be resting.

[There's a gruffness to her voice, but it's worlds more gentle than usual.]

Faith

[hungryanhorny]

Not my thing; that a no? [She manages a smile - a little teasing, maybe, but... again, there's something behind it; perhaps a slightly aunted look. Like she doesn't want to be given too much time to think.]

Faith

[ladyofgotham]

[Barbara knows that look a bit too well, and maybe that's why she nods.]

All right. I'm supposed to be taking a break anyway.

Faith

[hungryanhorny]

They put you to work already?

Faith

[ladyofgotham]

I volunteered. You'd think the Admiral would grab more doctors, if he's going to pull stunts like this.

[yeahscience]

You make it out okay? [He'd given her Ivy's sleeping potion, he's hoping... That had to have gone to some use, right? He'd tried to get in on her escape plan, but ultimately, the guards had just bashed his skull in and given him his free ticket back to the Barge that way.]

[hungryanhorny]

Yeah; I'm fine. [The smiles a little weak though - the potion did help. It had saved her at least once; though she'd ended up in the ring all the same...]


You... doing okay?

[yeahscience]

Getting by, yeah. [He looks like shit, actually, but whatever.] Just figured I should, like... check in.

[hungryanhorny]

Glad; guess this one hit everyone pretty hard...

[yeahscience]

I guess a massive round of death tolls'll do that, yeah.

private;

[ichoosefight]

I'm alive. Or rather, I haven't died yet. [ Since there are other people who are alive but did die... whatever. Steph's sort of emotionally drained after Kon wakes up. ]

private;

[hungryanhorny]

Funny; you don't sound too happy about that. [She's studying you, Steph.]

private;

[ichoosefight]

About being alive? I'm thrilled.

I just wish nobody else had to die to make it happen.

private;

[hungryanhorny]

Guess I know the feeling... [How many people died during her little escape plan?]

private;

[ichoosefight]

Anyway it doesn't matter anymore. Barge is back in order, everyone's back alive. We just have to recover in time for the next big disaster.

[strangehistorian]

I'm alright. How are you doing?

[hungryanhorny]

Me? Just fine, Chromie. [Ignore the obvious lie.]

[strangehistorian]

[She's not one to push, it's not polite.]

I'm glad. What happened to you? I managed to stay aboard for most of the port.

[hungryanhorny]

Got caught. [She shrugs; there were other things, of course, but..,] Did better than most.

[strangehistorian]

Well, that's good at least...

[maxwells_demon]

Hey babe. [He has no chance with you, Faith. He knows it. But flirting makes him feel better.]

Sorry for losing the mark back there. Getting impaled isn't exactly fun.

[hungryanhorny]

Glad to see you made it back. [Watching everyone impaled during your escape isn't very fun either.]

[maxwells_demon]

Same with you, although I expect in a little better shape than I did.

[hungryanhorny]

What? You mean sans the sword in my chest?

[maxwells_demon]

Preetty much. Did you get hurt much otherwise?
