i forgot things for a while

sorry i dont' know what happened

it was kind of nice actually for about a month I just did my fucking job and I felt like I was missing some people but other than that I didn't have any robot bullshit and I even thought robots were cool again

ha

after the plane crash

did i mention that

i went on a plane flight with some folks and it was sabotaged

we managed to land it, barely, but

it left us all changed and some fucker was good enough to know where i rent my fucking planes

i need somewhere to stay and i need someone to pick me up

please don't ask what's wrong

i quit my new job too and i went to lsu and asked for a leave of absence. if you're a doctor i'd be much obliged if you could forge some medical documentation saying i can't go to school for a while.

i need to figure out how to freelance program from my house

i'm rambling? I'm not okay

I'm not

okay

[reapsthewind]

yeah so uh

i got in my plane to go and check some shit out, hoping to find a facility or something

... something we could attack

which now seems like wow they're bombing us haha fml

anyway

um

so

they cut the control lines for the flight surfaces and set the goddamn engine on fire

and they did it so well my pre-flight check didn't catch it

the only reason I landed it is because I am a fucking

good

pilot

(I fly as well as you cook)

You'll need to be more specific if you want me to help you.

[Audio]

[neonnerd]

I'm happy to help however I can, Chris.

[Audio]

[reapsthewind]

[she sounds so, so tired]

Can you get me a medical exception and sign off with the rest of the department?

... hell, I'd take distance learning, if I can. I... I can't move very well now.

It's the legs, too.

[Audio]

[neonnerd]

[...oh Chris.]

Yes, of course, I'll prepare all the documentation as soon as possible. I'm certain no one will object to you completing courses remotely, given a medical condition, I can speak with the department head.

Would you like me to take a look?

[audio]

[moarnomsplz]

There's probably not much I can do to help, but if there is something-ing, all you have to do is ask, oh-okay?

[audio]

[reapsthewind]

... man I barely even KNOW you. But.

[... sob]

Thanks dude. I need to work out a place to stay first, but once that happens, I'll let you know.

... Are you an engineer, maybe?

[audio]

[moarnomsplz]

You were one of the first peep, people I talked to on the network. And we've gotta stick together.

Not an engineer, neer. Sorry.

[[Someone's mad about the snub. Juuust a little]]

[reapsthewind]

[shiromadoushi]

You didn't even return any of my texts. Bad enough you weren't on network...

[epimethean]

Freelance programming, huh?

text

[reapsthewind]

yeah

i need money bad

[epimethean]

I'll poke around at work, see what I can come up with.

You know what you're doing, right?

[Text]

[talktothedoll]

I could get you an excuse certifying some sort of mental health issue that would require you to take a bit of time off of work.

Perhaps an onset of something related to the stress of the plane crash? Or would you rather leave that out of this?

[Text]

[reapsthewind]

that works

the plane crash is pretty much on the books man, i had to deal with a whole fuckton of fall out

it's on my insurance papers and all

thankfully, programming pays pretty well so i managed to pay for it, but yeah, it's on the record

[Text]

[talktothedoll]

Alright, then. Where do you need me to send the paperwork?

I'll write it as as though it's a fairly normal case of post traumatic stress brought on by the crash, unless that would be a problem.

private text all the way

[testsonseashells]

Good to have you back, Chris. Can make excuses for you if necessary.

Understand you'd prefer to remain private, but feel I should ask this at least: simply too conspicuous to move about in public? Or medical issue?

private text;

[reapsthewind]

both

legs from the hip down are metal now

it takes a lot of effort to move at all and i can only move very slowly with a weird gait

i could cover it up with clothing but i can't run and it's really painful honestly

not only would walking funny and making a clanging noise when i walk be pretty conspicuous, i couldn't even run if they came after me

[soulsborderline]

[Um.]

Glad you're alive and not disappeared.

[Even in text it's probably not hard to hear that she has no idea what to say here.]

[reapsthewind]

that is a plus

i do like not having my brains scooped out by conspiracies
