Fifth Transmission

[York's image comes up on the communicator, and even with armor on he looks fairly confused. He's sitting in the hotel, and Sparky's in his usual position on top of York's head.]

Okay, so I know I've been kind of distracted most of this week, but what the heck happened on the Mother of Invention? Is everyone okay?
unrecovered: (I don't want to talk about it)

[That helmet tilt? Yeah, that says he's not impressed and he's not going to just leave it.]

A forty percent increase from a group that's usually pretty friendly is more than a mutually bad first impression. What did you do.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-11 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding. That's why I'm asking.

Hey, did you pick up any rifle ammo while you were on the Mother? I'm running low. Damn giraffes take half a clip.

[There are distressed whinnies from offscreen, and Wash looks over his shoulder, exasperated.]

Not you. The Nightmares.
guerriera: (Sigh)

[ How much? York at least can hear her half-choke at the increase. He'd made a point to warn her about the cost as it was, but that was a bigger hike on top of an extortionate price than even Carolina expected. ]

I mentioned what happened when I arrived. [In vague one-liner fashion, but she did tell him. Her hand lifts, touches her helmet in annoyance.] [grumbled] Christ.

I'll take care of it, Wash. [Soon as she's figured out where to find at least one moogle.].

[Right. It attacked her. Somehow he doesn't exactly believe that.]

You did. [He was pretty sure it's total bullshit.] I was hoping for details.

Fine. Just don't make it worse.
guerriera: (Ready)

[personal profile] guerriera 2013-06-12 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you were. [ It's not total bullshit, it was aN incredibly bad first impression. And Carolina doesn't appreciate you thinking she's a liar at her, either! :|

She scowls, even if he can't see it.
]

I don't intend to.

If you're desperate for clips, you can have mine. I'm not using the rifle I brought with me.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-12 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck.

Keep them - you might need them. I'll make do. [Carolina's the better fighter, but Wash has had more experience with the Nightmares. As far as he can figure, it balances out.]
guerriera: (Default)

[personal profile] guerriera 2013-06-13 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 'I don't need it' goes unspoken, save perhaps in the counter-tilt of her head. She shrugs when he declines the bullets. ]

Suit yourself.
unrecovered: (...what?)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-12 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
You- what? Really? You don't even have a knife or anything?
unrecovered: (...what?)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-12 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why are you punching them?

[Something here does not quite compute.]
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-14 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[And suddenly that makes a lot more sense. Carolina showing up has definitely shaken things up, especially with York, and Wash needs to remember that.]

Good luck with that.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-14 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
She's okay.

[Private channel now? Private channel now.]

She's...been better. She told me she was gone for a year, not just four days.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-14 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
She won't tell me, and I'm not going to push it.

...but I don't think it was.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-14 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[There's a few moments of silence, then:] How do you...handle it? I mean, what do you do?

[Usually he's the one refusing to tell other people his problems. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, he's not 100% sure what to do. The last time he dated a girl who wouldn't share her problems with him...well, neither of them handled it well and the whole thing ended very badly. As unlikely as it is to actually happen, Wash doesn't want a repeat.]
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[Wash is silent for even longer. It all sounds familiar, because it's everything he's been doing - avoiding bringing up his trauma to his friends; talking to Luna instead of them; keeping it quiet for fear that they'll disown him if they know the extent of what he's done. Karma, as it turns out, is a bitch.]

Okay. I think I can do that.
unrecovered: (Let me think about that one)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2013-06-15 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[The sentiment is, for him, oddly sincere. A vote of confidence is what he needs in this situation.]

Me too.
