Oh yeah, things are fine.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I was just wondering about 'the thing' you'd mentioned...
[ It's been more than half a month (by 'normal' hours anyway) since they've met (again), and she's had some time to chew on it... But she's still curious about Selena. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
If it's a bad time, don't worry about it.
[ He does/did have his sweetheart's virtue to defend and all that. ]
no subject
Oh that? Are you sure?
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
It's not a bad time for me. Are you okay? Did you talk to some of your friends from home about it?
no subject
Yeah, I think so anyway.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
And I did.

It's just weird... Things don't feel that different, except they do.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Like there's a constant feeling I can't 'escape' whatever happened, even if it technically didn't happen...
[ ... ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
If it's okay to ask, do you ever get dreams about it?
no subject
technically? what do you mean technically?
[Oy vey.
This is really...not what he needs. But it's not as if the whole matter is ever far from his mind. Particularly not these days.]
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
yeah. lots.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
kinda hard to dream about anything else to be honest.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
how are you holding up?
no subject
The CDC pulled me from my world before anything happened.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I was just wondering if I might start remembering it in my sleep or something. [ Bad dreams are hardly uncommon to soldiers, after all. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
...Sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked. I just don't know who else to talk to about this kind of thing.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I'm okay. Sleeping funny.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Without nightmares at least. But I'll get used to it.
i could have sworn i had a tab up with this tag already started where did it go
Oh man. Okay. Did anyone tell you what happened?
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
No it's fine, don't worry about it. It's been months since I've got here in home time, so I'm doing all right now. It does get easier with time.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
and as for your sleep, i'm not sure. I don't know how things work around here but time is a pretty fluid concept for them, as well as death. It might be that you could start remembering things
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
if they reworked your memories rather than plucked you out of your home at the time you remember being taken. Or it might be that they did do just that. Or it might even be that you're not the same Petra that was here before
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
Take a look at this: exhibit a and exhibit b
1) to infinity and to the left, or 2) up your butt and around the corner
Hange. Do you know her?
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I'm glad to hear it, and I'll try to keep that in mind.
[ She squints at her blackglass a little at the last two messages, though. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Wait, are you serious? [ Double-checking the links-- yep, legit files, two whole eagle in the CDC. ]
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
Okay you're serious.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
That's crazy????
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I think I'm the same Petra though, according to my friends.
FROM: ral.petra@cdc.org
I hope I am.
[ She may or may not be having brief identity crisis right now. ]
