[Here is a thing Euphie never does—texting. But then she doesn't normally have anything to hide.]

I can't be certain, but if any part of my nightmare was unleashed yesterday I'm very sorry, and I hope no one was hurt.

Also, I won't be able to make it in at work at the Turnabout Cafe or the Welcome Center this week. I'm very sorry.

Something happen?

It was just a little accident. Besides, taking some time off is probably a good idea.

[Raikov's skeptical but he doesn't push the issue.]

Can't argue with that...

It was nice of you to check on me.

[misterblackbird]

You needn't worry for it. We'll be sorry to lack you, but we'll manage somehow. I do hope you'll be back around soon, though.

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you, Cain. Don't worry. I wouldn't leave for longer than that. [But the strangulation bruises aren't good for tips.]

[misterblackbird]

Are you ill, by any chance? I certainly hope not, of course.

[There is a pause before she responds.] I was injured. It isn't serious.

How are you doing?

[Since it's private and he already knows about the bruises she changes it to video.] Hi. I'm alright. [Sort of.]

[Those bruises look like they hurt. Her throat must hurt, too...]

Are you sure?

[They do. It does. She wants to cover them, but it feels so suffocating having cloth wrapped around her neck right now. So, instead, she just wants to stay in for a few days. Her hand comes up, touching very lightly and absently at the purple flesh.]

It's not as bad as it looks.

[negativegate]

You okay? Did anything happen?

[deadly_legacy]

There was an incident yesterday. [In which a close friend kissed her and then very nearly strangled her to death before being shot to death with his blood splattered on her. So, "incident."]

[negativegate]

[Rita's imagination certainly doesn't come up with anything that specific, aside from what she herself saw yesterday.]

More like lots of incidents. But you didn't get hurt?

[deadly_legacy]

I'll be alright. [But she can't say she wasn't hurt.]

[favoritetraitor]

How very considerate~.

2/2

[favoritetraitor]

I hope that your dreams weren't too disturbing for you...

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you. I'm not certain I really saw what I thought I did. I can only hope no one was harmed.

[errandry]

... That doesn't sound totally fair.

[deadly_legacy]

It doesn't?

[errandry]

Sorry. But it's not like you let them get out on purpose, right?

[anunluckypenny]

Don't be sorry, it's completely okay. Did something happen? Are you alright?

I'm so sorry, Euphie, but I'm not going to be at the apartment much... or at all, I guess, since Derek left and it looks like I inherited the Youth Center. If you need anything, though, let me know? Or if you need company or anything?

[deadly_legacy]

[She considers responding in audio, but her voice doesn't sound right yet. It's still a little weak and rough. She would expect her roommate to find out, but then she is talking about how little she'll be around and reminding her Derek is gone, so text it is.]

Something happened, but I'm fine. There must be a lot to do with the youth center. I'm glad Derek had someone he could trust it with.

audio;

[anunluckypenny]

So long as you're okay... [Penny doesn't sound entirely convinced, but she trusts other people to know when they need help and when they need to be alone.]

I'm glad, too, I just wish he hadn't left. But no, there's tons to do, especially since Mercy--she's the other person Derek left the Youth Center to--is kind of broken up about everything and not ready to deal with this yet. I'm completely serious, though. If you need anything, I'll never be too busy to help.
