[ It's been two weeks since she's woken up in the Complex, the effects of her cryostasis wearing off, finally. The effects of her death and resurging, that's another story. Her throat and lungs aren't feeling so raw but the latter still feels rough. At least she no longer feels like she's going to choke with each breath she takes. And the hacking up blood has stopped. On the other hand, the nightmares of the exact moment don't come as often but they're there.

They're always there. ]

I was always under the impression that when you died, you stayed dead. There were no second chances. Maybe I haven't come to terms with it. I've come close to death's door too often but never like that.

Has anyone ever...?

[ If anyone here has died and returned, wouldn't asking bring back unpleasant memories? Elena's aware of that, unfortunately there's only been one other person whom she's been able to talk to who can relate.

This isn't something she can talk to Nate about because of how sensitive a topic it is between them still, and that's why she's locked the post from him. She needs to know if there are others.

Plus there's just one more thing... ]

My wedding ring also seems to be missing... It's plain silver and has an engraving on the inside. It's been missing since I woke up in the Complex.

If it's shown up anywhere then please, I'd appreciate a heads up.

( ooc; the ring is gone forever, and although the post is locked from older!nate, it's still free game for anyone who knows him to bring up the post/topic/any conversation to him. c: )

What happened after they'd resurged?
What had their loss been?
How did they deal with said loss and how did it affect their everyday life?
How long did it take for them to get back on their feet?
Was the loss physical or material?
How had it happened in the first place?

do you have answer to any of those in return?

not yet
you're the second who's responded
were you also looking for answers?

[Well. Her death had been publicly broadcast on Moira's network both times so there's really no use for her try to hide it.]

i was the first time. back then i saw a face of a man who i hadnt met before and it turned out he was one of the captains i tried to ask him about it but he didnt give me that many answers second time i didnt have much time to do any of that.

you would think the captain of all people would've been able to give you the answers you needed but I guess back on the ship, they were just as lost as the rest of us

then you've died twice? jesus
was it easier than the first time?
if you don't mind me asking

could be. but he made it pretty clear he was the one bringing people back to life but decided it was too personal to share or shit. actually. both times were recorded with mids so pretty public events. im not sure if "easier" is the word but waking up isnt so disoriented or confusing the second time.

What a great guy. I guess though it's hard to talk about for some. Hard to hear about for others.

I'm sorry they were public. And I'm sorry I can't remember them. So much has gone on that anything before the last crash has blurred. Like I think back to life on the ship and it just blanks.

Yeah. Waking up was. Hard. I barely remember it.

could be. or then he had other reasons for not sharing. honestly its kind of refreshing to find people whove stayed ignorant to them. the incidents werent exactly clean. what all do you remember before waking up?

They all had their reasoning for something or other.

Choking. a terrible pain in my chest and lungs. I was stuck sleeping with an oxygen mask for the first few nights

I think at one point nate thought I'd stopped breathing in my sleep

indeed. not much can be done to that now.

[And yikes, that sounds quite heavy. Still, as unfortunate the thought is, it's nothing that majority of ex-Moirans aren't familiar with.]

wait nate. so youre the famous wife?

ah I don't know about famous?
back home sure, because of my career but not so much here?

I gather you two are acquainted then.

well youre famous in sense that he talks about you a lot

[How to tell that she knows what kind of underwear you like.]

sorry about the ring. but trust me it could be worse

that's cute
I know there was that incident where he was drunk on the network - which I'm sorry happened - but I hadn't realized

I know. I'm grateful it wasn't worse than that.

[Not so cute if you knew the nature of their talks, Elena.]

theres that and the other stuff hes told me in person. he used to visit the bar often right. im sure hell get you another one. but to backtrack a little did anyone tell you how they brought you back?

that man does like to talk

not really? something about how I was there one minute and then gone the next
I just woke up two weeks later in a cryo pod

and drink same with me then funny. id think theyd be more eager to share details how is this shit even possible

He never did much of that before
I guess space changes people

how is it even allowed is more what I'm wondering
captains or not

i guess was he not such big loser back at your home then?? allowed to keep secrets or bring people back?
