ستة وسبعون

76. She's calling him out.

The video only stays on for five seconds before it switches off. It's done its job )

I am looking for someone. That number means something to them.

[sleepdarts]

Just an old woman with a curiosity.

[sleepdarts]

( Unexpected. As far as she knows she doesn't know him )

When did we last see each other? It doesn't do to leave it so long.

...頭おかしいんじゃないか？

[wallride]

it was a long time ago
a few months, maybe?
i kept meaning to check in but i've been busy
sorry, ana

Angela. Jesse, Lena, Reinhardt. Fareeha.

[That last one is the hardest--she hadn't taken it well, and Jack hasn't been in contact with her since. Ana isn't exactly walking into the most welcoming of situations. It's probably easier to just let her ask whatever she wants, and Jack gives her an open-palmed gesture to indicate that she should go ahead.]

I'll try and answer whatever I can.

O-okay! Um...i-if I can help, you can ask! Did you just get here?

No, I am just making a count of all those who would respond.

I like it. Exploring new worlds is fantastic. You should see the places we have been so far.

[Rein thinks it's great.]

[sleepdarts]

We can make it right. It is no trouble.

[sleepdarts]

I did. Thankfully I already know my friend is here.

[sleepdarts]

Perhaps you could tell an old woman about some of those places.

( Drops a breadcrumb )

[grandpaladin]

That would depend on what the woman was interested in.

[sleepdarts]

Hearing what her friend has lived here.

[sleepdarts]

What caused you to tell them?

( Because she understands why he wouldn't, because it's why she'd kept herself dead for so long -- why she'd still only sent Fareeha a letter rather than going to see her. Protection. It was so hard to understand unless you knew, especially if you've fought together before, but some threats have changed )

[grandpaladin]

This old man would love to do so.

But he does like to have face-to-face talks.

[gainedlove]

Oh! That's good! It's good when y' got someone you know around...it's, um, it's kind of lonely if you're the only one.

[mylawn]

Angela and Jesse figured it out on their own. Confronted me about it.

[He's not going into detail about how he got himself shanked on a botched security detail, and Angela had been the doctor present when he'd come back through the Ingress. There had been no hiding his scars from her, and Jesse has always been sharp.]

Didn't feel right keeping it from the rest of them after that. Fareeha didn't take it well.

[sleepdarts]

It would be more pleasant.
Where should we meet?

[grandpaladin]

I know of a coffee house.

... but it will also sell tea, if that is preferable.

[sleepdarts]

It is.
Perhaps you could help a friend with directions, I seem to have lost a few things.
