samantha_grey | IC Inbox - Asgard Eventide

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

Mela - how do you spell that?

Thank you for trying, anyway. I almost don't feel the lack of sleep anymore. I just feel sort of... light, and flat.

[Nakama, you're making no sense.]

From:

samantha_grey

M E L A T O N I N [Cause how else do we go through spelling out a word in text? hehe.]

... Nakama, that doesn't make sense. Are you really exhausted?

From:

whatagoodgirl

... okay, I've got it written down. I'll talk to him about it.

[There's a sigh on her end.] I'll be fine. I'm sure I'll be sleeping again soon.

[But she didn't say anything about how she is now.]

From:

samantha_grey

One way or another, we'll get you what you need. I promise. Just don't overdo it, ok? You don't need to drop from exhaustion. Sometimes we don't know how bad it is until it's too late.

From:

whatagoodgirl

I'm... taking some time off work. [It sounds like this confession literally had to be ripped from her throat.] When my bosses heard I'd died, they told me to come back when I was feeling better. I don't think this counts as better... I want to go back, but I'm scared of screwing up my work and having them lose their faith in me, so I just have to do this.

From:

samantha_grey

Time off work for being dead? There's a joke in there somewhere, I know it. Heh. Yeah, it's not a bad idea to get a little rest from work. Get your situation figured out first and you can go from there.

From:

whatagoodgirl

I hate to do it, right when we've got all our machines back and can work at capacity again. It's like letting them down at the most important time.

From:

samantha_grey

It's best to have both you and the machines working at full force, isn't it? Besides, with the attacks, I imagine things are a little out of sorts for a lot of people.

From:

whatagoodgirl

That's true. We're lucky the shop is still standing. I just hope they'll call me if things get too out of hand...

From:

samantha_grey

If they trust you as an employee, call it a hunch but they probably will, not that I know a lot on that sort of thing. This is the longest I've been employed in my life.

From:

whatagoodgirl

Yeah... you're right. I guess I shouldn't be adding any extra worries right now, should I? [She sighs wearily.]

From:

samantha_grey

It's difficult if it's in your nature to be a bit negative to not be when the chips are down. Just try to stay calm, and you'll get through it. Give me a call whenever you need the meds.

Oh... I'm going to proceed cautiously with that other clown-related thing. I think I might want to contact Feferi again about this before I push anything. Maybe Eridan.

From:

whatagoodgirl

You'll know as soon as I've talked to Dr. Watson.

Oh - that's good. I'm glad to hear it. Hopefully they'll be able to [talk you out of it] help you with it a bit.

From:

samantha_grey

I... need to know something before I can do what I was thinking. I still want to punch the little bastard, but I... am not sure about what that would mean.

[She was still really creeped out that she might have been flirting with Gamzee. Given her hang-ups, it was weighing on her mind a bit.]

From:

whatagoodgirl

What do you mean?

From:

samantha_grey

Something Feferi said. I don't know if I should be considering it, and without Karkat around I don't want to blunder in and just punch him. That seems... badly timed somehow.

[This wasn't sympathy. She just needed to know what the hell she was actually doing.]

From:

whatagoodgirl

No, it's way too dangerous without Karkat here. Sollux says no one else can calm him down, so if you made him too angry, he could go on a rampage. We don't need anymore unnecessary deaths here.

From:

samantha_grey

This... is just between he and I. I'm not dragging anyone else in if it ever happens, and it has nothing to do with him being calm or not. But I'm definitely not getting anyone else involved that way. Fuck that. I can wait a week or two if it comes down to it if I need to to make sure it's just us.

From:

whatagoodgirl

[There's a long silence. How she wishes Samantha would just drop this...]

Definitely talk to the other trolls, though. I think that'll be good.

From:

samantha_grey

[Nakama wouldn't be the first to want Samantha to drop some problematic grudge. She had a bit of a knack for not giving them up.]

I might speak with Eridan. He seemed to know a few things, assuming he's not being a jerk about it this time.

From:

whatagoodgirl

I'm sorry I can't help you out on that one... like I said, he's one of the few that I haven't met, so I don't know how honest he is.

From:

samantha_grey

Well, if what he says doesn't match up with what Feferi and Karkat already said, I'll go back to her. As long as he's not coming for me, which I doubt, there's time.

From:

whatagoodgirl

Sollux might be a good one to talk to, too. He can be... difficult, but he's honest, at least. Rude, sometimes, but honest.

From:

samantha_grey

I talked to him a little. I'll keep him in mind. I can deal with rude. Thanks

From:

whatagoodgirl

I think he's got a good heart. He's done some amazingly nice things for me.

And I thought our troll trouble was done when Vriska disappeared. I never would've imagined that Karkat would go, too. It's a disaster.
