poly_chromatic | [ 93rd consult

[He had been asleep when he left, a few weeks back, in the middle of the night, and gone back to the world he hadn't seen in years. Not much time had passed, though, and having gone back to the moment he'd last known, he was under some unusual circumstances; having been dosed by a certain friend, crashing off of that.

As soon as he did manage to fall asleep, back home, trying to sleep off the headache in his office there, he shifted back, slept the rest of it off in his City parallel, his office in the hospital here.

When he does wake up, he isn't quite sure what's happened. Going back and forth was fast - subtle, disorienting. Asleep when he left and asleep when he came back, gone for a matter of hours on his end in a state of... "compromised" consciousness, at best, he's not sure if he left, if he dreamed it, or of anything.

After a few minutes to shake off the grogginess and get to feeling a bit less disconnected. He does turn on the device, hesitatingly.]

Yes, I do realize this is probably one of the dumbest questions that's been posed to the network, but...

[Short pause, with a breath here. Yes, it's stupid, but when you're going to ask something stupid... just go for it.]

Can anyone tell me whether I was gone?

If you have to ask, you probably were.

[ HELPFUL. ]

[The most helpful!]

Probably true, but shifting dimensions is a bit on the disorienting side. Surprising, I know.

Haaah, so I hear. Got your verification yet?

I have, thanks. Apparently, I'm a few weeks behind.

You're never going to get an Oscar if you keep playing dumb like that.

Consider my dreams cruelly shattered. At this rate, I'll never get my star.

You have to buy them besides be talented.

That's all beside the point.

I didn't see evidence of you for some time. Perhaps that means you were gone.

Well, it's certainly something, I don't think it's been that long since I was on the network last - from my perspective, at least.

Do you remember being at home?

You were. For a while.

[Hey, it seemed like a while to her.]

Great. I'm going to have to ask them to stop sending me in and out of the City while I'm asleep.

[A quiet, just slightly exasperated sigh. He's not a fan of the back-and-forth. He pauses slightly, before inquiring with a vaguely nervous, pursed smile.]

I hope "a while" is measured in days, not months.

Long enough for me to worry you weren't coming back.

[One day, Charlie will actually tell someone she missed them.] It's wonderful to see you again.

[ooc: i forgot how long he was gone *facepalm*]

I'm going to go ahead and say yes. But then again I'm still a little green around the ears here.

Well, it does look like I was.

I'm not sure being a little new is really a disadvantage, since I've been here long enough that a few hours at home feels like a dream.

This isn't your first time here, right?

[And that in itself answers any questions Chase might have had.]

Few weeks.

And by my count, it was a few hours.

[Some things you just don't get used to.]

[Oh that's just rubbing in salt.]

A few hours? What, they called you back for dinner?

James! You're back!

[As if that doesn't answer his question...]

I mean, you were--gone, that is--and now you're not, which is probably a lot more exciting for me than it is for you. Sorry about that.

[While he's never thrilled to find himself still stuck in the City, it's not as if he can be unmoved by that reception. He really can't help but laugh a little.]

That's all right. I think you're doing quite an admirable job of making up for any lack of excitement on my part.

I'm sorry I apparently left.

It's been about a month. I didn't think you were coming back.

...Not that I'm sorry you're back, which is completely selfish.

Dr Wilson, there you are.

Here I am.

[If there's a vocal version of a hapless shrug, that was it.]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was missing.

No, we usually don't, do we? Still, selfish as it is, it's so good to hear from you.
