The day after Una and Strange's chat in the library, his book order arrives.

[kingsroads]

[ Fortunately, none of the books were dangerous, Strange is just a fuckin' nerd. Still, Una gets a message back with, ]

Thank you for the books!

[ and look! It's actually recorded halfway decently! ]

[una_persson]

[Well. Not bad.]

You're welcome. I hope they've got what you need.

[ About 24 hours into the Sabre Shitshow: ]

Strange. Are you all right?

Re: Audio

[kingsroads]

[ Strange just laughs, trying very hard to hide a fit of giggles before it turns into more of a strain of maniacal laughter.

Nope. Not alright in the slightest. Someone's a bit mad at the moment! ]

Re: Audio

[una_persson]

[ Oh no. ]

Strange, you've ... this thing that's going on, it's got you too.

After the whole ~death thing~

[goingtobeunwell]

Mr. Strange? I'm not certain if you have your communication device, but I wanted to apologize to you for not reaching out when you'd asked.

Re: After the whole ~death thing~

[kingsroads]

[ Strange does have his communication device! He also sucks at using it. The audio's a bit muffled as he grumbles, ]

Now how do I—ah, there. There is no need to apologize, Mr. Crozier. I dare say none of us were in our right minds during all that nonsense—and those who were, were inevitably indisposed.

[goingtobeunwell]

[Oh, he's been there. He may be chuckling quietly behind his hand.]

Indisposed quite violently, in my case. And so soon after we'd had our conversation about the death toll.

after the breach

[una_persson]

Want to talk about it?

Re: after the breach

[kingsroads]

I don't see why we should. That man wasn't me.

Re: after the breach

[una_persson]

True enough. But I was curious about what you made of him, and of the whole experience. It's your first one, after all.

[heyboss]

Mr. Strange.

...what did you say to Kiryu?

[kingsroads]

[ urrrrrrrrrrrrgh. ]

That he should be back home with his wife, not on this ship. She is pregnant, Sheehan. Pregnant! And he is apparently ill! Why is he spending his time on the Barge, in a frantic and possibly fruitless quest to try and cure that illness, and not be by her side?

[heyboss]

Mmhmm.

And did you ask him these questions in a calm and reasonable and sensitive manner?

[una_persson]

A question, Strange. Would you be willing to teach me some of your magic?

There are no consequences if you say no.

[ Astarion and JD's little pickpocketing experiment gave her ideas. ]

[kingsroads]

Of course!

[ hell yeah!!! ]

What do you wish to start with?

[una_persson]

Well—imagine I'm a would-be student from your world who's come to you with that very question. Where would you start them?

[una_persson]

[ Continuing from here: ]

Una lets Strange get a short distance away before leaving Arthur, and then she briskly walks to catch up with him.

"Had to fob him off to talk to him later," she says by way of explanation. "I want your details first."

[kingsroads]

"Do you?" he grumbles. He knows this isn't being fair to Una, he knows that he's still a little grumpy and annoyed about...well, plenty of things. This entire bloody situation. But dammit, he's allowed to be a little annoyed. He most probably has a black eye! He at least has a bruise! And he almost got slammed into a wall! And he knows how other people will react if he mentions who gave him said black eye!

"You looked like you were perfectly fine asking Lester for details before me."

[una_persson]

"Arthur has a great many things going on right now—" and god, if that's not the understatement of the month, "—and I only wanted him to know that I was aware of that fact. I can't go into the details, but trust me—he's having a bad time. Not," she adds emphatically, "that it excuses him trying to give you a concussion. For which, incidentally, let's get some ice. You look like hell."

[heyboss]

Hello, Jonathan.

[A long pause.]

I'm sorry that I was so short with you the last time we spoke. It wasn't fair of me. I was - well, I was upset. But I shouldn't have taken it out on you.

Did you find a new position?

[kingsroads]

No need to apologize. I know things must have been rough for you recently.

As for your question, I have reached out to someone. Though I must admit, that mess I caused with the darkness has been on my mind the most lately.

[endofvanity]

[ Backdated to just after Strange's graduation conversation with Una. ]

Jonathan? When you have a moment ... can we talk?

The dream business has been nagging at me, and there are some things I think I must tell you.

[kingsroads]

I always have time for you, [ and that time will help him keep his mind off the fact that he graduated and he's going back home soon and that is wonderful and fucking terrifying at the same time. ]

Shall it be my room or yours?
