[ Rebecca hasn't been heard from since the end of the Ten Years Later event, and with good reason. In the beginning, she had chosen to do something that a few others had done: close herself off. The emotions and the memories were too much, the phantom weight of a ring on her left hand haunting her. Soon after, however, she had fallen asleep,

Rebecca?

[ video ]

[needsheadphones]

Quorra. Hey. [ Tries to make her smile a little stronger. ] How are you?

[isomorphology]

I could be better. So could you, it looks like.

[ video ]

[needsheadphones]

Yeah.

...After the city went back to normal, I ended up at home for a little bit. Some... pretty heavy stuff happened.

[When Rebecca's voice comes on over the PORTAL, Harry knows its time to face the music. Trying to smooth his face into something not hideously awkward and sad. He might be succeeding. Maybe.]

Hey...I guess we need to talk.

[needsheadphones]

[ She swallows, nodding. There's movement at the foot of her bed, and Ollie jumps up, resting his head on her lap. She strokes his ears before replying. ]

Yeah. I guess we do.

[gumshoewizard]

Look, I...

I dont want to do this on the network. I'd...like to meet somewhere. Wherever you're comfortable with.

[needsheadphones]

Harry, I just found out that one of my best friends is in a coma. 'Comfortable' isn't a word that applies to me right now.

[They can have new masks together. You can actually see some of Eden's face beneath this new one.]

Welcome back, Miss Rebecca.

[needsheadphones]

Thanks.

[ At Eden's voice, Ollie lets out a soft 'woof' from nearby. Rebecca smiles despite herself. ] Ollie says so, too.

[solarpurpura]

Hello, Ollie. I hope he was not troubled by your absence.

[needsheadphones]

So do I. [ Pets him more. :c ]

Luckily, I think he's either figured out how to dream food up himself or he knows how to get into the stored dog food.

This is sort of going out on a limb but would you like to come over for some Call of Duty?

video;

[needsheadphones]

... Yeah, that sounds good. When?

video;

[robotheads]

Whenever.

[needsheadphones]

[ Rebecca's going to get up and start taking care of her dog, then. ] You got your leg taken care of, right?

[dirt_heart]

Half a year's a long time. You got to go home?

video;

[needsheadphones]

Yeah.

For a while, I thought I'd be more useful here -- keeping people safe, you know? But... some stuff's happened back home that I can't ignore.

video;

[dirt_heart]

I understand.

[He'd wanted to get back home since he'd arrived.]

But short of sitting in front of your mirror all day, there isn't much to do about it.

[needsheadphones]

Not as far as we know, anyway.
