Any of you brilliant and varied folk out there know how to cure sudden blindness? I'm not picky, I'll take magical or medical or...whatever else is beyond that. It's for a friend of mine.

...you're... a friend of Inara's I take it?

[deformiwhats]

Me and Chinadoll lived in the same building for awhile. We're not glued at the hip, but she's a great gal.

[ooc: if Lorne's knowledge through Inara gets to be too much, let me know! I've got him unaware of just what she saw in Anna, but he does know how the blindness came on for now.]

[backseatangel]

She is. I wish I could have met her differently.

I'm Anna, by the way, she might have, um, mentioned me.

[ooc: That's cool. I didn't put any real constraints on the other muns about what they saw, so that's fine. She'll tell you why what Inara saw struck her blind if asked, but only if asked.]

Don't blame yourself, Anna-cakes. I saw most of what happened and there's no way this is your fault, okay? I promise.

"Anna-cakes"?

Thanks, but I'm still responsible. How is Inara doing? I took her some fruit earlier, but I haven't had time to go back.

Sorry, I get...endeary when I get nervous or worried or...whatever this is.

You're welcome. She's getting along okay now. I just can't in good conscience leave her alone, just in case. What about you? I don't want to be rubbing lemon in wounds, but I heard from a doctor that he's got another case like Inara's?

[backseatangel]

That's okay, it was just the first time anyone's ever called me that.

There were three total. Inara was the second. The first might be the one you're talking about. The third isn't human, he told me he thought he would heal.

Aww, you need to be broken in, then, peaches!

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you okay?

[backseatangel]

I'm fine, nothing bad happened to me, I just saw them. They saw... something they weren't supposed to and now just really worried that it might be permanent.

private | unhackable

[deformiwhats]

I hate to ask, but is it something dangerous, what they saw? I'm not trying to witch hunt, here, but I'd rather not see more people suffering. Which includes you, sugarplum.

I'm not the bad guy, I promise. I'm kinda... an angel. Like a real, straight from heaven, angel.

Currently, I'm kinda fallen, human. But she saw my true nature, without any filters, and that's... hazardous for mortals.

Oh honey, I kno--wha? Really, now? No wonder Inara's had a hard time of it.

I have to wonder about you though. The only other person I know to come down from that high returned with no memories and a mess of complications.

private | unhackable

[backseatangel]

I... didn't have the memories, not until recently. When I fell, I was reborn as a human and I... I guess you'd say I suppressed what I was. But parts started coming back, it got the attention of... some not nice people, and I had to remember in order to know why they were after me.

I came here not long after that.

So you're just this sweet little gal with a warm gooey angel center, huh?

Is there anyone here for you, Anna? I don't know how long you've been in the City, but I know that in this kind of a situation, friends are nice to have.

private | unhackable

[backseatangel]

Something like that.

... not really, I mean, I'm friends with Priestly, but he's worried about Inara and... everyone else from my world left. Just me and Bobby the guard dog, really.

[deformiwhats]

Now that's just a shame! Put me down on that list too from now on.

Listen, I'm in Building 10's area daily, harassing the natives and meeting clients. Why don't you stop down sometime? We can harass people together. Bring Bobby along, too, I'll make sure to have treats.
