004--Wake Up Call

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

[And here is a vaguely tired looking Annie, stretching] I feel a bit weird, but it's not too bad. Like I slept for a long time.

Thanks for the clothes, though, Sam. That was definitely a welcome surprise. And better than what else was lying around.

[stares, for a fair while, then strides up to her and clings to hugs Annie tightly]

[Blinks, surprised, then hugs back] Nice to see you again, too.

[didorothy]

[still clinging! He'll let go. In, uhm, a bit. He never had any stuffed animals as a child, I'm afraid] I'm sorry.

[This is why she gave him that stuffed bear. And she doesn't mind! She likes hugging him! She's leaning against him, actually] For what?

[didorothy]

[Annie is so much better than a stuffed bear, though!] For what happened.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

[She likes Sam more than hers, too] Why are you sorry?

[didorothy]

I should've... I thought... Diva's my friend, and you.. I just wish it hadn't happened.

[pulls back enough to look at her face] Do you.. want to do anything? To help. I want to help you.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

It's all right, Sam. Really.

You--I don't know, really. That's nice of you.

[madamemoiselle]

{Keeping her distance, looking down}...I'm...really sorry.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

It's all right. Something looked off about you, which is why I asked if you were all right.

Feeling better now?

[madamemoiselle]

...You're...not mad?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

No. Surprised, maybe, but not mad.

[madamemoiselle]

{That reaction was unexpected. She makes a small, surprised noise before fidgeting} W-Well, yes, I'm better. I'm still...really sorry, though. It was, as bad as it sounds, an accident.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

You don't really seem like someone who'd intentionally do that much damage.

[madamemoiselle]

...You think so? {D8 haha about that...}

[keeps his distance, watching her, hands in his pockets, then gives Annie a nod] Welcome back, Cartwright.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little] Thank you, Sir.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[nods, grunting a bit] Don't think I'm giving you full wages for that time you missed.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't even dream of it.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Good! So ... get back to work.

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

Where do you want me to start, Sir?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[and this is Gene, relieved she's not gonna break his balls about his 'welcome back'] What were you working on last?

[Shenzi stares at her a minute before coming closer to investigate]

Didn't you... die?

[flashknickers.livejournal.com]

I did. Why do you ask?

Not every day someone comes back to life.
