Day 231 [Video]
[A dog face peers into the communicator. She would be familiar to those who have been around for a while; the strange mish-mash look that comes with the power of the Queen's Ring. Those powers are dampened, of course, as they were before.]

[What is particularly new lies in the hardened look on her face. She blinks once, slowly, and remains silent for a stretch longer.]

[She called this place home, once. It's a distant dream, a life lived not by her, but someone else also named PM. The Parcel Mistress. Someone else with a little knowledge of Jack's evils, a little of the rage that now consumed her, and a little of the loneliness that was now a normal background hum. But here she is, and it is her, waking up as though it were nothing more than another normal day after the last normal day. The date is wrong. It doesn't surprise her that it's been a while, but not as long as she would have thought.]

[Her life has been years of chasing a murderer across empty void. Talking to no one. Never resting. Never doing anything more than wearing him down, bit by bit, just as he wore her down in turn.]

[She swivels her ears forward, and tries her voice at something not an expression of canine rage. The question comes more brusquely than she intended.]


Who's delivering the mail?

Haven't come back.

That's too bad.

[An understatement, but she's having so much trouble with the on-and-off-and-on-again feelings.]

Have I missed anything important? How... how are you? [Maybe that question should have come sooner, but better late than never.]

I'm cool. A hentacle monster broke the dome and we got shipped off to some low-grade knock-off prison called Squall for a couple days while the wardens fixed it. Oh, and Christmas happened.

[She blinks slowly, trying to take that all in. Even if it's actually not a whole lot. PM curls her wings around herself.]

Belated Merry Christmas to you. Did you receive any good cards or presents?

Uh. Helix gave me some baked beans, that was pretty cool.

Oh.

[A pause.]

I just realized that I haven't eaten in years.

Huh.

Wanna go grab some pizza?

Yes, I think so. It would be nice to eat again.

[PM picks herself up off the grass and launches herself into the air. She could teleport, of course. But seeing Marina again was a treat in and of itself.]

[Friends!!!]

[PM will then proceed to stand around uselessly in the pizza place, waiting for Dirk.]

[ it is one of dirk's favorite places in the dome so he is there SO FAST

so fast

he waves to PM, then orders a nice plain pepperoni pizza since other people can't handle his and Jake's eclectic tastes. ]

[You wanna bet, Dirk.]

[PM leans forward to the bot, quickly interjecting before the order can be completely processed.]


Add mayonnaise and broccoli to my half.

[She perks her ears at Dirk. Very nearly cracks a small smile.]

[PM bites the ring off and spits it out into her hand. She then sits down, and silently revels the fact that she actually has two arms again, and not an arm and a stump.]

[Not that it helps the fact that she's still missing an eye from one of her fights with Jack around Marina. She reaches up to cover the closed and scarred lid. It's not out of fear of grossing out Dirk or because it hurts. But because it's not there.]

[ Two arms definitely make eating pizza easier.

He takes a seat, crossing one leg over the other. ]


Mail ain't the same without you. Hardly anyone sends anything.

[PM leans back against the seat, and slowly drops her hand away from her face.]

[The news is upsetting, but maybe not as immediately and hotly inflammatory as she expected it to be.]


A little understandable, because I would not want the wardens reading my mail.

But that's still... upsetting. It has only been a month.

For you, I mean. [And for her, too, but not really.]

Yeah, true.

[ Awkward thumb twiddling. What is socializing. ]

[PM will stare for an uncomfortably long time at things and also at Dirk.]

[She eventually starts thinking back to how it was before she was completely out of her mind. About conversations with Dirk. Time spent with him and his friends.]

[Using that, she settles on a topic.]


Are you still trying to leave?

Yeah. I sort of wonder if that's why they keep losing Roxy.

Roxy-... ah. Roxy.

[PM leans forward, resting her head on her hands. Feeling both tired and not tired all at once is confusing.]

Maybe.

Hn.

[ About then their pizza is set out in front of them, saving Dirk the trouble of coming up with anything else to say. ]

[Good.]

[She digs into the pizza with gusto. The first slice vanishes in three big, awkward bites.]
