JP groaned. "I know, I didn't know that someone was gonna have a power malfunction while I was doing something that generally causes me to pass out anyway. The backlash was pretty rough this time around 'cause it fucked my concentration."
He lolled his head to the side and looked at Julian, reaching over and poking his friend in the arm gently. "You come over here to just tell me that I look like shit or did I miss something critical that you're coming to tell me about?"
Because apparently it didn't occur to him that Julian might have been checking up on him, or anything. He hadn't looked at the network, so he had no idea what was happening or what he'd missed and how many people had been impacted by someone's power malfunction.
