Holy shit.

[ #helping ]

Well, welcome back [ not really the proper thing to say, but Carolyn's dead back home; it'd be welcome back for her ] and no problem. You might remember that people were mutating before you left; I might have to vanish at a few points to take care of some... different body parts, but I'm always up for a refresher course.

We can rope Padme in, too, if you'd like.

( probably better not to get into what ilde left behind at home without cracking open a few drinks. which they probably will in the near future, so. )

I'm a little hazy, in places. Not sure if I'm just old or this ship's just fucking with me.

( --re: what she does and does not remember. it's probably a mix of the two. )

Sounds good, though. How're you and your body parts doing?

Well, it's been a while for you. And the ship's always fucking with us.

[ So. Yeah. Both. ]

My teeth hurt. But it could be worse.

My welcome back party was getting a princess not much older than my daughter drunk because her Borgia boyfriend turned out to be exactly what it said on the box.

( wry. )

I mean, I may be fucking with myself, at this point.

At least you're not see-through. You're not see through, right?

I'm going to assume that has something to do with Earth history.

[ You don't learn Earth history where she's from unless you're from Earth. And she's not. ]

No, I'm not see-through, [ she laughs. ] I've got stronger, sharper teeth and nails, mostly.

( out of affection for elizabeth, ilde does not say that if those particular houses had ever combined in history, in truth, she is tapping the fuck out of human society and taking off with the fucking fairies. she thinks it pretty hard, but she's not going to say it, even somewhere elizabeth will never hear it. )

Useful, at least?

( a beat. )

Because I can do that, if it actually is useful. In the shuttle bay, I mean.

I think the changes are reversing. [ She sounds rather put out about this. She'll be more put out when things start falling out. ]

Less useful in the shuttle bay, but plenty useful for intimidation.

( ilde, who has smiled terribly sweetly with a mouthful of fucking needles and watched the effect it has, laughs. )

Well, not so specific, maybe. But I can't think offhand what shape would be more useful, anyway. Just a thought.

We can do some experimenting, if you want.

[ aka fucking around and calling it work ]

( hey how did you know that's her favourite thing. )

It's a date.
