[Death by violent head trauma leads to a death toll of migraines. But it's mostly over now, and it's been a rough few weeks, and now Cissie has Things To Say and the brains and focus to say them.]If there's one thing the Death Toll is good for, it's that you get more than enough time to think. In over a year and a half, this is the third time I' ( Read more... )

[Cissie's using text today, because she is cranky and wants some privacy.]

This flood sucks. The last one was better. [And yes. She was stuck with O'Brien for that one.] And Admiral, this had better be temporary. I don't need two inmates.

[Filtered away from Sylar. Sorry Sylar.]So, Barge. You like discussing things ad nauseum. Here's a ( Read more... )

[Friends Filter-this is generous, you are probably on it]

[Let's pretend it is the middle of the night. Cissie... looks like crap. Like she hasn't slept since the flood ended, which hey! Happens to be true. She's hollow-eyed and pale and just not herself. ...That lack of sleep might have turned off her usual brain-to-mouth filters.]I guess ( Read more... )

[Cissie is so completely affected, and it shows; she's not even bothering to try to smoke out those acting strangely, because she's already spotted a few, and really? What does it matter? They'll be back to normal in a few days. ...This doesn't mean she can't still have some fun.]Oh, Barge. This flood isn't nearly fun enough. I kind of wish we ( Read more... )

[So, Cissie has not exactly been Ms. Social lately. She's basically been doing her shifts in the infirmary, doing the inventory thing she shares with Howie, and, of course, spending some time in the gym with her archery. Otherwise, she has not been going out of her way to be social or to be out and about, with the notable exception of the rum ball/ ( Read more... )

[Private to Sylar]

[There's quite a long pause here.]

You wanted to talk when we got back.

[Private to Tim, added later]
...Can I ask you something?

[Hello, Barge. Have a video of a little girl's room. There's a lot of purple and white and Disney posters. But it is ABSURDLY NEAT, like something out of a catalog--or like someone else cleans it. It's also huge. There's even a fancy canopy bed. It's made. You can't see Cissie yet, but she carries the camera over to the VERY NEAT desk and ( Read more... )

[SO OKAY, Sylar broke up with Cissie, she tried to contact him and he has been ignoring her, so now she's trying ONE MORE TIME.]

[Private to Sylar]
Can we talk?

[And added later, after she talks with Sylar]

[Private to Tim]
We need to talk about Sylar.

[Hello, Barge! Have a dose of forced cheer! Someone's trying to trick herself into a good mood. People who know her well may catch that she's acting a little strange.]
First of all: Happy Hannukah to everyone who celebrates! I know it's the second day, but the thought still counts, right? I don't actually know much about it. Anyone feel like ( Read more... )

Well, that was a faster reassignment than I expected. No vacations on this cruise ship, huh?

So! Bela Talbot, I'm your new warden. Let's talk.
