video ---> voice; Monday morning

[Jinx is awake. She has been for the past few days. It's still difficult for her to move much, so she's propped up on her hospital bed. Her hair is stringy and greasy, falling around her shoulders. Her face is pale, lacking any trace of makeup. For a moment, it looks like she's about to say something, but her shoulders drop, her lips purse, she ( Read more... )

I'm going to come over and visit you, okay? It'll be just a few minutes. My room isn't far from yours.

[It's difficult for her to voice a reply. After a few attempts, she finally decides to send him a text message back.]

[It takes a little longer than expected, since he fusses with his hair a bit to make sure he doesn't look as awful as he feels. That, and he needs to take a few deep breaths and pull himself together before facing her. Will she be angry with him, like everyone else? Furthermore, what could he possibly do to comfort her? He's terrible at cheering people up, he always has been, and this is... There can't be anything worse than this.

He appears at her door about fifteen minutes later, dressed in his pyjamas and robe and looking tired. Brittle.]

May I come in?

[At least that gave her time to compose herself, as much as she could. When Kurt is at her door, she can feel him before he speaks, but she doesn't look at him. Her eyes are half opened and dull, head turned to the side. There's still an IV in her arm, but she at least got them to turn off the damn heart monitor.

The only acknowledgement she gives the boy is a single, slow nod.]

[Rochelle can't help that sigh of relief before she finally turns on the voice feed.]

Hey, sweetie. [Very soft, very concerned.] Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask you the stupid questions. But just so you know, if there's anything you and Gabe need you can give me a call. Okay?

And if you're in the mood for people, I'll come visit after work. [And with that faintest hint of a smile:] Can't NOT see my fellow baddest woman alive after she got me worried this bad.

I know. [She really does. Rochelle happens to be one of Gabriel's only friends. Of course she'd be there, and even though Jinx can't express it right now, she's glad for it.]

The title's yours, by the way. You win.

Just a reminder. [If this wasn't over voice Rochelle would be holding her hands up in fake surrender. Or something to that effect. She hadn't gotten to see Gabriel in a while, but if she did she's pretty much be giving him the same spiel.]

Mmm, I don't mind sharing it. Sometimes. So do I get to come or not?

You seriously want to subject yourself to this?

[She's genuinely curious, which is at least a small reprieve from everything else she's feeling. Who wants to sit with this mess voluntarily?]

[Oh thank Light, she's... He can't really say 'okay', can he? But she's awake. She's alive.]

...Jinx? Is it okay if I come visit?

[At times such as these, Jinx would defensively say that she wanted to be alone when, really, she wanted the opposite. But right now, she just doesn't have the energy to play those games. She nods slowly, even though he can't see it.]

Yes.

I'll be there in in flash.

[And true to his word, he appears in the far corner of Jinx's hospital room in a swirl of darkness.]

...Hey, sis.

[She doesn't want to make eye contact. With anyone. It's hard enough as it is to hold conversations. Weakly, she sets her NV down on the table beside her bed.]

Hey.

We're not gonna forget her, Jinx. That's a promise.

[Her voice is strained, and these words sound so awkward coming out of her mouth, but she says them anyway. Soul, of all people, deserves to hear them.]

Thank you.

[He doesn't like hearing her like this, he really doesn't, but he can promise that much.]

Hey, what kinda uncle would I be if I forgot my own niece?

[She tries to voice a response, but fails miserably. There's the sound of sniffling on her end, shaky breaths, until she finally chokes out a response.]

A b-bad one.

[It's been ages since she's seen Jinx- or at least, seen her conscious. Maybe not since the last time she'd dropped in at her house for a game of 20 Questions with Gabriel.

But she'd hovered in the Med Center on and off for the past week anyway, just as worried about the sorceress as her brother was. Or ... almost. Anna might not have been too displeased to have the child gone- but on the other side of that coin, a mother losing their child was ...]

Knock knock. [Peeking in near the door.

[Laying in her hospital bed, she doesn't look up at the door. It's like she just doesn't have the energy to. Angels aren't in her food favor right now, anyway. But she doesn't have the energy to blame them, either. Jinx would just rather go back to sleep, if she could.]

Hey.
