[Somebody is looking, well she's still blue but! Her features seem softer, or at least more feminine than before.

Or it's just cause she's been away for a good while, who knows but she's in a good mood all things considered.]

So, hey. I was, I guess busy is the best way to put it? [Because she's not going to explain that she maybe kind of poofed and took a while coming back.] Yeah, busy. But things are cleared up and I feel like I... Missed somethings?

[She's out of the loop like whoa.]

So what interesting things have happened with the lot of you?

Comments

[riptidequeen]

[What.]

I didn't know humans could reattach parts, and yeah... About a month or so.

[circumitus]

Not being human probably helps. Though replantation procedures can reattach severed limbs for humans, it's... risky and has to be done almost immediately. Might as well just get a bionic replacement at that point.

[She's seen some pretty advanced cybernetics to get people by. So much so that it's starting to become a voluntary practice in her world.]

A month? What, were you out or-- [ah shit, she might have peeked at one of Lapis' previous conversations] --in... capacitated?

[riptidequeen]

[Bionic? That whole first part goes right over her head, so she's not going to comment on it.]

I see... And incapacitated is probably the best word for it, it was a Gem thing.

[circumitus]

Does that happen often? Losing time like that?

[riptidequeen]

No, not normally. Regeneration can take some time, but I haven't taken that long before.

I think it might have been because it requires Chroma now? Or something like that.

[circumitus]

Ah, yeah. Have noticed that it takes Chroma to heal faster, too. Generating fire is also more difficult when low on Chroma, so the things are probably connected.

[ughghhhh why does her body now have a metaphorical bank account balance to work]

[riptidequeen]

I think I'm lucky that using my powers so far hasn't taken a lot out of me. Well, aside from this.

[It's a pain in the butt, it is.]

[circumitus]

It'd probably be a different story if you'd been overexerting yourself like-- ["like me." Nope, not going to go there.] ...Yeah.

[Yyyeah.]

[riptidequeen]

I don't need to worry about that. [She keeps to herself, mostly.] But are you okay?

[circumitus]

Been fine, when not getting into a fair share of brawls.

[Read as: The very opposite of someone who keeps to herself.]

[riptidequeen]

Well... As long as you're doing you?

[What else can she say to that? "don't get into brawls"?]

[circumitus]

[She could, but would Rey listen? Nyet.]

More so than sitting around holding hands and cuddling all day. [Snort.] Good thing certain fighting can count for Chroma.

[Ooh, she could start a consensual bar fight with someone. She should.]

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis isn't one for fussing, anymore.]

Nothing wrong with cuddling. [Pouts] Not everyone is into the whole fighting thing though.

[circumitus]

Fortunately people have different preferences for what they're into. Am open to trying new things, but sometimes having something familiar is nice.

[Though "nice" might not be the appropriate word for it.]

[riptidequeen]

... Good point, no reason to do something that makes you uncomfortable after all.
