[23] Always a co-star
[Cissie's finally figured out her role in this flood: she's the best friend. You know, the one who gives advice and sets people up, but doesn't have any kind of love life of her own. She feels a bit 'meh' about always being the supportive cast and never the star, but that's how her real life goes, too. ANYWAY, she is playing matchmaker. The log this follows isn't finished yet, but I wanted to get this up before the end of the flood for Molly and Ned!]
[Private to Molly]
Want to go for a walk in the CES after dinner? Bring Mouse, he can run around.
[Private to Ned]
Hey Ned. We haven't talked since... well, you know. Port. I'm sorry I didn't check in before. Maybe we can meet in the CES after dinner? We can talk and take Digby for a walk.
[...Yeah, Cissie won't be there. Have fun, kids! If she's envisioning leash entanglement, ala 101 Dalmations, we can blame that on the flood. Though her message to Ned has reminded her that she's been a selfish, mopey recluse for a week, so have an awkward message:]
[Private to Cissie's friends, if you've had friendly interactions, you are included (except Sylar because he told her to stay away from guys like him and she is irked)]
I'm sorry about last week. I should have checked in and made sure everyone was... well, I don't know if 'okay' is the right word, after all of that, but coping, I guess. Alive, at the very least. I just--if we haven't talked yet, let me know how you're doing. Please.
[Private to Beatty]
How's this flood treating you? ...And, belatedly: thank you.
[ALSO, I hereby declare one more open flood!spam for Cissie. If you wanted to get stuck somewhere with her, now's your chance. Wander into her room or go ahead and find her somewhere where doors will inexplicably lock. Because... I like the awkward.]
