  1. -Sunshine-

    -Sunshine- Sometimes You Have To Burn Up And Keep Breathing

    ...go? I... I don't go. This... this is us, now... uhm... but... we should be able to kind of. spread our perception? But. Uhmmm. You'd go out of your body, kinda? So... you'd... flop onto Lee?
     
  2. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    Wouldn't be the first time! Corrie giggles a little, as sleepy people do, at her own dubious wit, as well as the memory of simpler times.

    "Yeah," she says out loud. "Sorry about getting in your face and everything there, though."
     
  3. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    "No worries" Evelyn shrugs, heading further in.
     
  4. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    Lee hesitates, then glances at Corrie, before looking at Cage. "...I still have the police dialed."
     
  5. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "....we aren't going to hurt either of you." Cage rumbles. "You live in the building. You're fine."
     
  6. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    Corrie would ask why that's important, but maybe she's about to find out on her own! ...Sort of on her own. What even counts as "on her own" anymore?

    Anyway. "Guess we're all good then!" she chirps.
     
  7. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "Mmm. So." Cage says, monotone. "Come in, so we can talk about the weird bullshit, or are we going to have to talk to the landlord about the weird shit?"
     
  8. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    Corrie looks back at Lee. He looks really very worried. She doesn't want to drag him further in than he's willing to go.

    "Later, maybe," she decides.
     
  9. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "....right. Do you both swear neither of you will talk to anyone about this unless they already know?"

    Cage holds out a hand to shake.
     
  10. Corrie Macpherson

    "...you mean 'don't call the cops yet', right?" Because that sounds like a bit of overkill.
     
  11. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "No, I mean you can both talk to each other about this.m. or Martin, Desiree, Evelyn, Morrigan, or me... but no one else until we talk. Either by the end of the day or within a week. I think that's fair... I'm offering to explain, after all..."
     
  12. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    Corrie grimaces. "Fine. Later, then, 'cause I am way too tired to deal with this shit right now." She takes the hand, with no enthusiasm.
     
  13. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    "...fine." Lee mutters.
     
  14. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    "Good." Cage grins. "May you have good fortune. We'll talk later."
     
  15. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    "You... too...?"

    Corrie sighs again. She'd vaguely expected things to be normal when she came home.
     
  16. Cage

    Cage Hearts Are Wild, That's Why Our Ribs Are Cages

    Cage nods, then vanishes inside her apartment, closing the door with a firm thunk.
     
  17. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    "...so. that's. One thing to come home to," Lee mumbles.
     
  18. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    "Tell me about it." Corrie offers him a tired smile. "Look, I think I can find out a little more, just promise not to freak out yet, all right? I'll have a lot to tell you once I've gotten some sleep."
     
  19. Lee Charlot

    Lee Charlot The Practical One

    "...yeah. okay. Why would I freak out?" Lee frowns.
     
  20. Corrie Macpherson

    Corrie Macpherson I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

    "I'm not actually sure yet!" says Corrie, almost cheerfully.

    All right, she tells Sunshine, let's try it.

    (( Roll Wits 2 + Persuasion 1 + Boneyard 1 = 2 successes ))
    (( Expend 1 plasm: activate Phantasmal Boneyard ))
