There's a woman in the nexus -- this is nothing new or unusual, especially not this woman, who has been to the nexus many times in the last few years of her life. A different part of it, admittedly...it counts, okay, so shut up.

For those of you who do or should recognise her, the only real visible change is the thin tanline where her wedding ring used to be. Given it's a part of the nexus she's never been to, she's not really expecting anyone to know enough about her to notice. She's probably right about the majority.

Anyway, let's skip the exposition. Donna's lighting a cigarette (as she so often is), and she shakes the match out, brushing her hair out of her eyes and examining her surroundings. "So. Nexus. Make me feel better about myself. What's the biggest mistake you didn't learn from the first time?"

"I have no idea who you are. I think I should be insulted..." He obviously isn't. She's blonde. Of course he's not. Yet.

"We're no where near insulted yet, sugar, although if you want to take offense, be my guest." She inhales and blows out smoke, kicking her heel against the ground a few times. "Donna McKay. No relation."

...Jesus fuck that's not a face Donna wants to be presented with today. However, it's clearly someone else. She attempts to mask her startled distaste.

"That can bite you in the ass."

"Especially with my brothers" Methos agrees, eyebrow rising slightly. Oh he noticed the distaste, he notices a lot of stuff.

"Getting into politics," Diwaniya replies promptly. What? He's the candid sort.

Donna should look familiar to him, and does, a teensy bit, but the last time he saw her was years and years ago, when she was considerably more wee.

Also brunette, which this version of her has never been. And four inches shorter.

She actually chokes on her cigarette smoke, she starts laughing so suddenly. "Fuck--sorry--" She giggles helplessly. "Sorry! I, uh...have no reasonable explanation for being a headcase, you'll just have to roll with it. You look like you're doing okay now, though?"

Diwaniya wonders if perhaps he ought to toss her some spare change. It's what he generally does with the insane.

Okay, no, he is not THAT rude. He just arches an eyebrow at her. "Do I?"

"Not sure I'm following." Which is probably the booze, Donna. You are not convincing anyone of your ability to take care of yourself, bb. "It was a mistake learning to tolerate that, or the mistake was that you didn't?"

"It was a mistake that I didn't. Something that I just could've tolerated a few times a month and didn't, and well, I was pretty foolish." This will all work out in the she hopes, and at some point he'll divorce his wife. Right?

"Keep up the good work." You could sort of call that a smile. Donna does a bit of a double-take. "...the nexus has more than one of you? Small children with guns must be in this season."

"...do I know you?" Y HELO THAR, guard, nice to see you up today. Mathilda doesn't think anyone still alive knows about her more than passing familiarity with things that go bang.

Leon wouldn't have talked, either. She knows that for sure.

Were Mister E a truly social creature, he'd likely be in the Nexus to offer his random vague hand gestures along with his reply. Instead, being as E is not a truly social man, he is sitting at his desk, shifting from left to right in his swivel chair, and clicking the bejesus out of a ballpoint pen. while he enjoys the Nexus' online capabilities.

E's answer is his own, which he shares with Donna via text.

Using Firecraft to try to light a cigarette.

It's probably for the best that he's not in the nexus right now, anyway. Donna'd probably have an unpleasant reaction to a man of his particular looks right now.

Anyway, she types in a response.

Extrapolating from context what Firecraft probably is...clever, honey. How long were you without eyebrows?

"I think the long, sad history of my love life pretty much answers that question..."

Yes, this is the very kid who may or may not have sprung to mind just now, ma'am. Is there any other spooky little person with a face like this? Seriously. And look, they're cigarette buddies now—the lid of his Zippo has just clapped shut.

Unfortunately, this particular Donna -- the original incarnation, best and brightest...well...she exists, anyway -- has never encountered one such individual! Her life is less for it. Or it was, until now.

"You, sir, are obviously a long lost sibling of mine. Welcome back to the fold." HOWEVER, all that said, her accent, chosen style of speech and general demeanor must be distinctly reminiscent of nice tea, nail polish, and a pretty young girl with shitty taste in men.

Wow, are they ever. He has a pretty good memory for faces, but since this whole Nexus thing makes it difficult to tell whether you're talking to a Long Lost So-And-So or just some random person—and also since he has somehow managed to retain the intense and paranoid desire not to look like an idiot even when there's little danger of it—Fish isn't about to say anything. She doesn't recognize him, obviously. Maybe this isn't even Donna. Or maybe it is, and his existence didn't make enough of an impact to warrant a strong memory. God, that's depressing. Why did he even say anything?

Okay, no. Shut up, brain, that's enough. Taking a drag gives a nice excuse for being quiet, but that moment has passed just now, officially. Say something now. Something casual. Something completely unrelated to—

"Uhm, is your name Donna?"


...Real smooth, Fish.
