032: [Video] Homages to Cheesy 70's Movies? Check Check

[only_fell]

[Hello City! Have a space hooker dressed a bit like another iconic space princessThe City deposits Inara so quickly down near the fountain that she almost stumbles, recovering some what gracefully. She's got a bloody scrape on one cheek and her hands are covered in dry blood. Her hair is quite frankly a wreck. She certainly hasn't been at the guild

Hello! You weren't gone very long.

[ooc: No idea WTF happened, only that I couldn't see the little icons that would let me edit and delete. Sorry for spamming!]

[only_fell]

I wasn't? It was almost three months in my world.

How are you Harry?

[ooc: possibly because I edited the entry 15 times after I posted it because I'm lame and visual and can't see typos and stuff until it's literally on the page?]

[neverendingbeat]

It looks like it was a very eventful three months.

I'm well, although perhaps I'd better hold off on any questions until you've had a chance to settle in again.

[only_fell]

The last two weeks at least.

I don't mind questions. They're not going to keep me out of the bath tub or from an entire pot of tea.

Although I may switch from video to voice while in the bath.

this comment is not here, but it's brought to you by a possibly homeless person

[Priestly would squee at Inara's return, but he's too busy lying in one of the buildings' lobbies, asleep in the corner by the mailboxes. Very smelly. Also he's not sure where he left his network device...]

Action;

[only_fell]

Once Inara gets wind of Priestly's condition, she heads out sans bubble bath or a change of clothes to find him. It worries her when he doesn't answer his communicator. Naturally she begins by checking his apartment but skips The Blue Light. If he were there, someone would have said something by now. She begins a methodical process of checking each building. She eventually finds him passed out in the lobby of one of the apartment buildings. With a soft sigh she crouches down next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh Baobei, what did you do?" she asks quietly careful not to take too deep a breath.

[notverypriestly]

Priestly grumbles and rolls over. "Told you. M'not going home, s'pointless." He might not quite buy that Inara's real. Especially dressed like that. The Leia thing was purely a product of his daydreams, never fathomed to become reality.

[only_fell]

When he moves the smell is worse and Inara leans back slightly, grimacing as she does.

"Priestly, I assure you going home is far from pointless. You need a shower as badly as I need a bubble bath."

Lorne! Lǎo péngyǒu, nǐ kànqǐlái hěnyǒu jīngshén! Nǐhǎo.

*Old friend you are looking well & Hello, how are you

[deformiwhats]

Better now! Given my selfish track record, it's great to see you back.

[only_fell]

I don't mind the selfish. I'm actually...rather glad to be back. I'm fairly certain my own life has been crueler to me than the City the past couple of months.

Is everything alright here? Did I miss Chicago?

[coyote_walking]

Thank heavens you're back. Priestly's been a mess.

[only_fell]

Oh dear...is he alright?

[coyote_walking]

Don't know. I found him one night, out spray painting walls and he looked like hell - hadn't showered, shaved, done his hair... I tried to coax him home, but he slipped away eventually and... I don't know.

I hope so.

[only_fell]

Tzao gao

I'll see if I can find him. Thank you, Mercy.

**crap

[moresake]

You know, when I suggested you leave Paris, I didn't think you'd go so far.

[only_fell]

Neither did I when I considered your suggestion. I never had any intention of making the trip alone either.

[moresake]

That is what we told him.

[only_fell]

Thank you. That was very kind of you. I hope it was of some comfort.
