I have just had the most awkward and tense conversation in my life, but I think it was a necessary one.

Anyways, I'm legally dead, which has made my life complicated. I had to call my parents to stop them from freaking out. Don't worry, I didn't tell them everything, just the bare minimum. I'm at the safe house, I eventually managed to get back into my apartment and loot it of all the necessities. Thanks again, Davin.

Sorry if I was short with you the other night, by the way. I was still coming to terms with getting shot.

[OOC: I don't know who else is at the safe house, but if you are I am totally up for action threads.]

What he said. You're legally dead?? We need details!

Unfortunately I can't really give you much. I was part of a drug bust. We showed up to find a bunch of guys standing right on top of a big shipment of crack. We demanded their surrender, they tried to shoot their way out. One of them shot me.

Next thing I know, it's eighteen hours later and I'm lying in the morgue and my face is on the news as killed in the line of duty. I'm still trying to make sense of it all.

I'd be having trouble getting to grips with it, too.

How did you get out of the morgue?

[ursoreckless]

So. You did call them. I was wondering if you were gonna tell someone outside of this about you not being dead.

[von_uberwolf]

I don't always get along very well with my parents, but I couldn't let them think I was dead.

[ursoreckless]

Just... I hope that doesn't put them in danger knowing that you're still breathing.

[von_uberwolf]

They're...we're Old Money. It's hard to get trouble to stick to Old Money.

[First careful attempt at "how close can I get without her recognizing me.

Attempt in question: Network, through voice. There should be no reason why Angela would recognize it... right? Even if she saw her, she did not say anything.]

So what did they say?

[Not out of actually caring, but it seems to be a natural thing to ask and, frankly, Blaine is kind of curious. Not that she gave a damn about how her own parents reacted to her vanishing, but she also heavily doubts that they "freaked out" upon the news - if she is doing them justice with that assumption or not is another question. Not hers, anyway. But Angela's seems to be a different situation, and the ensuing conversation should be easy enough to keep in innocent waters.]

[von_uberwolf]

About what you would expect. They were angry that I hadn't told them right away, confused on why I couldn't give them any real details, and relieved that I hadn't been killed by some random druggie girl.

[It's a reasonable answer to a reasonable question. The only thing that stuck out about it was that Angela knew she had been killed by a girl.]

[siesinddasessen]

A girl?

[The surprise is audible, but easy enough to cover up - she immediately specifies, though not in the direction that caused the question, aka "how the heck do you know that I wasn't a guy, you can only have seen a glimpse of me and the get-up worked even with people that I spent hours with".

The tone is still incredulous and the transition smoothly enough to not raise any suspicions.] There were children in the shooting?

[von_uberwolf]

Well not, like, a little kid. A teenager.

She had on some kind of fake beard. I guess she was trying to pass for a guy.

[scramasax]

What -- what did you tell them - ?! [Odd spot for the inflection but all the same it's there and there with kind of crack that's one part bashful and one part incredulous, the former component out of being just self-conscious enough about jamming his face on in with the question.]

Re: [Video]

[von_uberwolf]

I...uh...

[Holy shit zombie.]

...told them...That I was okay, but that I had to be in hiding for a while. They think it's all part of some elaborate police plot to let me go really deep under cover.

[scramasax]

[Was that pause his fault? May have been his fault, voice constricts a bit but pushes on - ]

Did you - uh -- play along -- ...? ...I'm sorry -- I know I -- shouldn't be asking...

[von_uberwolf]

It seemed like the simplest way out.

0kay well im glad youre alive but
seconding soren wtf

[von_uberwolf]

I got shot. I didn't die. Looking at the evidence, I think I might be a werewolf.

Don't judge me, that doesn't even make the top ten stupidest things I've heard on this network.

[eras]

i was apparently a girl who died and then became a robot
i really dont have the place 2 judge anyone about sounding stupid re: life stories

[von_uberwolf]

I'm just glad they weren't packing silver bullets.

...Stupid curiosity, hang on I've got to try something.

ten minutes later

[von_uberwolf]

Yup. I can't touch silver anymore.

[worldmother]

Have you been properly checked out?

[von_uberwolf]

By a doctor? No. I've been busy trying to get my afterlife in order.

[worldmother]

You probably should. I heard there's a clinic run by one of the Numbered that you can go to.

[von_uberwolf]

Yes, I know about the clinic. I just haven't had time, and I feel fine, physically.
