[ The message starts with just audio, an exasperated sigh. ]

No, not that one. Look, right next to it... There.

[ Video cuts in with a brief close-up shot of Captain America, frowning at the camera, and then it swings around a little awkwardly to show Georgia Mason. The wearable filming this is obviously not hers - she's standing too far away

[What the...]

H...Hello? I know Shaun...I'm, I'm afraid I don't know where he i, though.

Is...everything okay? Do you need help?

[ Her response is a bit delayed. By... more than a day. Sorry, she was busy being a zombie. ]

I'm fine - Shaun found me, and the problem's been... taken care of.

Thank you, though.

[supernova1006]

Oh, hi again!

Um...I'm glad everything worked out! Everyone's okay, right...?

[audio]

[feedislive]

More or less. [ Some mental trauma and guaranteed nightmares for months, no big deal. :| ]

Sorry if the post alarmed you, by the way. I'd normally try to do that in a less dramatic fashion, but I was a little pressed for time.

[Shaun knows that look on her face. He knows the clothes she is wearing. He knows the tone of voice. It's only haunted his memory since the day it happened, over a year ago.

Shit.

He stares for a moment, the ghost of the past way too strong, and then he kicks himself into thinking. She doesn't know the place. Whoever it is with her, Shaun doesn't know him, but she doesn't remember,so anything they've talked, she doesn't know.

Great.

He replays the message to make sure he knows where she is.]

George. George, listen to me very carefully. I will be right there in a few minutes, and I want you to not have done anything rash. There are things about everything that you don't know yet, insufficient data.

Just wait for me to get there and I'll explain. Roger that?

[feedislive]

[ Oh thank god. She nods a little, attempting a tiny smile. ] Got it. See you soon.

George? Where have you been?

[ Her response is a bit delayed. By... more than a day. Sorry, she was busy being a zombie. ]

...and you are? [ No, she's not sharing the most traumatic event of her life with a stranger. :| ]

[ STEVE GETS VIDEO BECAUSE ONLY VIDEO CAN EXPRESS HER EMOTIONS TOWARD HIM RIGHT NOW. ...SHE COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THOSE EMOTIONS ARE, BUT SHE HAS THEM. LOTS OF THEM. >8| ]

...and you're not a zombie. Hooray for both of us. [ Yeah, yeah, she didn't die after all. SHE'S STILL CRANKY AT YOU, STEVE. ]

...A what? [Not his fault the term wasn't popularized until the seventies. Oh wait. There was that film Bucky insisted on seeing- White Zombie? ] Oh. Well, I'm just glad to see you're all right.

[feedislive]

[ Just... blank stare for several seconds. He can't be serious. ] A zombie? Walking dead person? Likes to infect and eat the living? You know, exactly what I was afraid of turning into?

[ What she... did turn into. aldkjfdf she is still dealing with that. Right now, she's dealing by... not thinking about it.

Growlmutter. ] You're lucky I didn't bite you.

[ ...thanks. She was really hoping no one would comment on that. :| ]

Yeah, next time I'm dying I'll be sure to take the feelings of the network into account.
