[It takes a few seconds of fumbling with the device she found strapped around her wrist to get it working, but it's pretty easy to work after a bit of experimenting. Eventually, a feed of a very blue set of fingers clicks on. There's no noise except for static for several seconds -- she's going through what she's going to say mentally first,

[ Charles is just staring, staring, for a long moment. ]

Raven, what have I told you about your clothing?

Video

[exquisitetiger]

That you want me to wear it so you can pretend that I'm a socially-acceptable sister instead of a freak?

[All her linefaces, Charles.]

[grooviestmutant]

[ ... ]

I have never said it in such rude words, Raven. Please.

[exquisitetiger]

That is what you think, though. I finally figured that much out.

[Still. The last time she saw him --]

--are you okay? I mean. As okay as you can be.

[grooviestmutant]

[ What an odd question. ]

I am fine, of course. Though not with you giving me that tone.

[exquisitetiger]

[What an odd answer!]

--Of course?

You were shot the last time I checked, forgive me for wanting to make sure you weren't in pain from it.

[You know, before she left you to bleed all over that beach.]

[grooviestmutant]

[ yeah geez what a dick
i mean i know erik is some fabulous hot ass but really ]

[ ... ]

I'm sorry?

[exquisitetiger]

[Does he have some sort of trauma-induced memory loss...]

The beach, Charles. You -- don't remember?

[grooviestmutant]

[ Have all of the furrowed brows, and all of the epic English frowns. He's squinting at her alright. ]

I'm afraid I don't follow, Raven.

But now I--I like your tone even less.

[exquisitetiger]

[Oh jeeze, Charles.]

It's not like I'm the one who shot you!

[Defensive? Just a tad.]

Just -- let's just start with the last thing you remember, okay?

[grooviestmutant]

[ Charles swallows and he looks away, before he faces the video again and sighs. ]

I--ah, I remember... coming onto the plane, heading for Cuba. Nothing beyond that.

[exquisitetiger]

[Well, now she can't claim that he was shot during an unfortunate robbery during a family vacation or anything like that -- damn.]

And -- nothing after that?

[grooviestmutant]

[ LOL SUCKS. Charles is so unsure. So... frightened; legitimately. ]

Nothing after that.

Please. Explain.

[exquisitetiger]

[She's really tempted to just outright refuse. Like, really tempted.]

I don't think that's a good idea.

[grooviestmutant]

You know I do not have to ask. I do it out of consideration.

[exquisitetiger]

Go ahead and read my mind, then. I'm sure that will be the best idea ever.

[The unhappiest face.]
