exsilium | 001 || video

[it's evening, babydoll's settled on her cot. her katana and gun are next to her, waiting to be cleaned -- something she hasn't done recently -- while she's still in the clothes she came into exsilium with. she didn't want to sleep yet, and exploring the city day and night interested her. the device is held out in front of her and she offers a smile.]

I know things are bad right now, with this virus going around. If anyone needs it, I can help. I haven't come down with anything yet.

[she pauses, glancing down as if she wants to say something else. she holds back and moves on instead,]

After the virus has been rid of, I'd like a training partner. [she doesn't want to take any valued time away from the people who needed help.] I'd also be open to helping others train or people who needed help learning how to fight.

[it's going to help her bide her time as she thinks of an escape plan, or, even better, returns home after the next mission. that's what she hopes, anyway.]

[with that, the feed cuts.]

Baby?

[ ; U ; HE THOUGHT HE'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. ]

You're back-- hey!

[she's checking her ammo when she hears her name, hoping that it's a friend, despite not recognizing the voice it came from. she turns to face the source abruptly, looking into the feed. when it's not anyone she considers a friend, her brows crinkle, lips forming a frown.]

Sorry, who--?

[she shakes her head, more confusion washing over her face. who is this man and why does he know her name? she's never seen him before in her life, and even if she had, why is he happy to see her?]

I've never been here before.

[ it hasn't happened often here, dean mostly remembers that confused look back from attollo. but he knows it all the same, and the fact that babydoll wears it now squeezes at something inside of him.

whatever expression passes over his face is concealed quickly though in favor of a smile. ]

Shit, you don't remember, huh? Name's Dean, and, uh... You were here before, Babydoll. A while ago. Guess bein' zapped back and forth erased your memories.

I didn't think that was possible.

[maybe that's why that man had looked at her funny -- what was his name? jesse?

she looks somewhat unsettled by the information and though she may be able to get her mind around it, it still makes her uncomfortable.]

Were we close?

[ dean notes the slightly uncomfortable feel about her, and honestly, he'd call whoever said the same to him insane and end the feed...so he backs up a little. ]

We were pals. Or rather, you saved my ass a few times on the battlefield. I know the kinda damage you can do with that sword of yours.

["pals". babydoll feels a tinge of guilt. she should remember everything, should know how they knew each other, and she doesn't.]

I'm sorry I don't remember you, you really seem nice.

[and there aren't too many men she considers 'nice'. if he managed to become somewhat close to her like he claims, she must have thought him to be worth the effort of getting to know.]

It's ... nice to see you again. [she's humoring him] Or, meet you.

[ dean shrugs it off. ]

It happens here, more often than not.

[ not that it doesn't suck, but if anything at least for once instead of having a friend die on him, this one's just suffering from amnesia of sorts. ]

S'nice to meet you again, too. I'm glad you're back, as shitty as this place is.

How?

[by now, she's aware that there are probably alternate universes out there, especially from what she's seen over the network. there were a variety of people from all sorts of places, she's not even sure if some of them are from earth.]

I've seen worse.

I dunno the details, but the Initiative can send you home, just like they can yank you here. Sometimes your mind gets wiped durin' the process-- and sometimes they take you from a place that ain't your home to begin with. Apparently kidnappin' across the universes is a thing that happens more often than I ever thought before this.

[ you get a smirk for the last part, sort of wry because he can only imagine. ]

[that's convenient. she may not agree with what's happening and how they got her here, but it's something she can understand at least. it's not really something she plans on focusing on -- she wants a way out, no matter what. if she can get here, she can get home. in a way, it's like any other world she's been in.]

Alright. [she's decided to just ... deal with it for now.] And thank you for being patient with me, you've been really helpful.

[ smirk!! ]

No need to thank me. If you need anything, or whatever, lem'me know, Babydoll.

I will.

[there is a ghost of a smile before she ends the feed.]
