*revelations after a looooong absence*

[leela1]

You know what? I'm tired of crying over a dead man, I'm tired of hiding away from my world, my friends, my family. Hell, I'm tired of hiding from my enemies. I have done nothing for two years except to ignore the world, hiding in my room, on my land and mourn the dead and the gone. And in the process I lost myself, forgot how to live

You know we're all more than willing to help you remember, Beautiful.

*bows her head* You mean it? Because well, I'm stubborn, and I'm antisocial, and I swear a lot and sometimes I carry around Raina's head in my soccer ball in my knapsack and I've had really, really bad relationships with guys and...

I guess what I'm trying to say? I could really use the help Kage. Really. Lots of help even.

And Hyou and I wander around the house either naked or half-naked, invite psychopaths to our parties have.. really strange housemates and relatives..

Honey, we love you, and you fit right in. The house is named Fires of Chaos for a reason, you know.

[leela1]

... sounds like heaven, actually.

How'd you guys like a houseguest for a day or maybe two?

[derek_bliss]

Good to see you on your feet.

[leela1]

Feels more like I'm on my knees, but *shrug* guess it's better than being on my ass, or flat down on the bed.

Baby steps, right?

[derek_bliss]

Baby steps are better than no steps.

I'm still around, by the way--just won't be in the usual places. So if you need me, give me a call, mi hermana.

[leela1]

Yea, they're getting me somewhere, as opposed to nowhere, right? *slight smile, nodding her head*

I'll call. I will call, Derek. I promise.

And, thank you big brother. Thank you.

((and now her typist crawls off to bed for a little while. *HUGS*))

[zhilbar]

Excellent.

*Surreptiously cancels next dragging-Leela-out-of-her-shell event*

*And doesn't tell Jack, just for the fun of seeing that boy make a mistake*

[leela1]

Hey Golden Dragon, how goes? Seen any alternates lately?

[zhilbar]

Been pretty out of the loop at present, M'self... but you might be saying hi to your daughter in the near future.

Incidentally, if I end up having to temporarily kidnap you in order to handle something at EXTREMELY short notice in the near future, we cool?

...Yes, this is somehow advance notice of a potential short-notice kidnapping. Shut up, it made sense when I started!

[leela1]

I know the feeling.

My daughter? But - I'm not... wait. Is this one of those Alternate Universe things, or do you know something I don't? *PEERS*

... Uh huh. How can you kidnap someone who's along for the ride? Isn't that more like um, picking up hitchhikers or something?

[lobo_bastich]

*Won't say a word about this. It's just a bunch o' softie talk about feelings an' shit. Really not his area, this. An' definitely won't talk 'bout it in public.

But would most definitely remind her what it's like ta live, if she'd let him.*

[leela1]

*nudges his shoulder with hers because hey, hugging him in public? So not cool and he might end up dumping her in the lake...

[lobo_bastich]

*Probably would. Again!*

*Also has ideas for a first round of mischief to get Lee back into the world*
