Hello again, Esilium. Long time no talk-- [Chloe's looking under the weather in terms of wear and tear only; her bright eyes actually bright today for a change. For the first time in months, as a matter of fact.] good god does it feel good to be free again. Never thought I'd be saying those words, but there you have it.

And don't worry, no more lectures on this end. No more daily mutineering announcements: I can catch up on what I missed in lock up by scrolling though the network on my own and I've got a more important issue that needs addressing first. [There's a brief pause before she adds, gently as possible:] Obviously anyone that wants to talk shop about what went down is welcome to, of course. Just-- you know. We're on the fast track to recovery around here from what it looks like, so I'm not about to force anything else down anyone's throats as long as that remains the case.

Thanks, by the way, for not unanimously voting for throwing us all out the airlock. [Nice to know not everyone wants them done in or worse.]


Right, though, to the point. I need someone willing and capable of doing tattoo work. Good tattoo work.

In this case I'm even willing to consider the magical sort so long as nothing additional goes along with it. Not really a fan of curses and poisoned apple nonsense.


Additional text addressed to Vanozza:

not sure if I should be thanking you for this or asking why you of all people are signing up to look after someone like me right now

Magical tattoos? Good lord, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by anything here anymore.

[Because that's obviously the important part of Chloe's message. Whatever. Maria appreciates being free but is irritated as hell by the terms, so she's feeling a bit grumpy.]

[totallytrustworthy]

I'm starting to get the hang of it myself. Only took a year for it. [It might not look like it, but once the initial high of human contact dear god + reunion wears off after their initial release, Chloe will likely wind up in a similar sort of mood.]

[firstroar]

With the time to step away from the situation, I can assure you very few would wish to throw you anywhere so dire.

[a slight pause.] But perhaps still throw you somewhere less fatal.

[but throwing and table flipping's nature's way, isn't it.]

[totallytrustworthy]

Hardly surprising. Apparently interrupting the daily routine is more upsetting for some than I'd previously thought.

[Read: everyone would agree with us the musical the movie the novel.]

[eyecontact]

A tattoo of what?

Hello, again.

[totallytrustworthy]

Well that's a face I wasn't expecting to see again for quite a while. Sorry I disappeared on you, darling. Wasn't the cooking I swear.

[deadelfwalking]

[he's glad to see that brightness.]

I could help.

[totallytrustworthy]

[It's good to have it in her for a change. Christ.]

Doesn't involve some crazy ritual, does it?

[lexiconning]

Chloe!!

What's the tattoo for? I don't think I'm much help unless the magic kind is what you're looking for.

[totallytrustworthy]

Good to see you too, sunshine. [And she means that.]

Purely sentimental value, honest. So, you know, magic not necessary. I just won't say no if my options are 'magic wand' or 'shiv plus ink'.

Welcome back, Miss Frazer.

[totallytrustworthy]

Thanks, love. You've no idea how much I've missed all this.

Remind me never to sign up for solitary again.

My dear Chloe:

It does my heart good to see you out and about once more! As I am sure you will have many and more questions I would extend an invitation for luncheon in my quarters, 139, once you have presently satisfied your need for a tattoo. You need not bring anything, only the pleasure of your company.

Kindest regards,

Vanozza

[ read: this is not a conversation she's having over the network. ]

action?? 1/2

[totallytrustworthy]

[This gets sent off before Chloe bothers even making a move towards the given address:]

did you seriously just send a letter via text

voice

[iciclerain]

[Asch is tired, but Chloe's presence on the network again is enough to rouse his attention.]

[He does stick to voice only, though.]

You. I have a question for you.

[totallytrustworthy]

All ears on this end. [Chloe sticks to the video feed she's already got running, tucking her chin away in the heart of her palm.] Go on.

[highbloodprince]

Tattoo a' what?

[totallytrustworthy]

[Sorry Eridan, Chloe's not taking this inquiry seriously right off the bat from someone she's already on decent terms with. ]

Giant cock. Possibly with a crown.

[vaccination]

Good thing it wasn't on a case-by-case basis.

[totallytrustworthy]

Dunno. Would've been screwing myself over but I could've spared the hit for the sake of certain problematic incidents . [Casual as she might be right now about the whole affair after winning her freedom, Chloe still hasn't completely let go of her somewhat overprotective irritation. ]

Still not complaining about being able to walk about, though.

[ GURL WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? she has missed you. ]

You look terrible.

[totallytrustworthy]

[You wouldn't believe how much she's missed you, too.]

Oh Hawke, you always know just what to say.

Voice;

[hellosailor]

Ah, that's my girl. Already working on your next terrible idea I see. I gotta say, you don't sound drunk enough for this.

[It's not the most gentle of greetings but he sounds genuinely glad to see her.]

[totallytrustworthy]

Victor Sullivan thinks tattoos are terrible ideas? Now that's news to me. [It's a genuine tone that he wins right back with interest from her end of things.]

voice;

[doubleoohbaby]

I realise staying a room with me was awful, but you didn't have to make a run for it.

Hurt my feelings.

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh come off it, cowboy. You know I'll always be your biggest fan, even when I have to rush out the door for work every now and then.

And please tell me you kids had some fun in there while I was away.

[fintastic]

They finally let you out! How much have you read back so far?

[totallytrustworthy]

Seeing as how I was out of the loop for twelve days it-- [Chloe stops, scoffs out a quick laugh.] well it's one hell of a lot.

Plus the text is so bloody small.
