20. The early signs of Nostalgia and Debility

[ Harry wakes and stumbles out of the room where he's been since the beginning of December, disoriented and shaken, and calling for Tris. Once he's got his feet under him again, he sends a few messages out. ]

Infirmary staff
I am sorry for my Incapacity, and that it lasted for so long. How are matters? I must spend today re-orienting myself, but I will return to my usual Schedule tomorrow morning.

William
I am awake, and I have received your Message. Will you meet me at the Enclosure? The Date and Time are your choice.

Misty
I have very much wished to speak with you, but did not have a chance before the Coma rendered me incapable. Can we meet at the Time and Place of your greatest convenience?

Friends, including but not necessarily limited to: Jedao, Fives, Quentin, Blanky, Hux, Gortys, and Jon
In brief: what have I missed?

Rawne got killed. General boat-wide mistletoe drama. Tiffany circling a small nervous breakdown about the infirmary and us agreeing that the minute you were back we needed to bother you for first aid classes.

That is a thing I ought to have begun long ago—the matter of Instruction, that is. That will be one of my first Tasks.

Also be sure to tell her she's a god damned jewel.

Tris hasn't been home long, having spent the night with Fives in her cabin, and was just finishing changing into fresh clothes when Harry calls out. She comes running, clumsily fumbling at the last couple buttons on her dress as she does. She gives up on the last button when she gets within arm's reach of Harry, pulling him into a fierce hug.

"Harry! It's so good to see you on your feet again, love. You're one day late. If you'd woken up yesterday, it would have been a birthday gift."

He hugs her tightly and doesn't say anything for a long moment; he's simply grateful to be awake and have her in his arms. Then he realises what she's said and—

"It's been that long?" Horror. "The last I recall, it was the end of November ... my God, Tris, I am so sorry."

"You've nothing to apologize for," she tells him fervently, standing on tiptoe to give him a kiss. "Yanna bless, I missed you. I'm glad to have you back now."

[THANK FUCK THANK FUCK THANK FUCK]

some murders and some injuries but everything is quiet right now

[THANK FUCK]

Edited 2021-01-07 15:42 (UTC)

I am terribly sorry that you were left in charge for so long, Tiffany. Thank you.

Per a suggestion of Quentin's, I should like to start scheduling regular Classes for those who wish to learn essential First-Aid techniques. Twice a month, perhaps.

its not like it was your fault

good idea, i've been teaching zhao

Thanks for getting in touch.

[ He's tempted to count out the days Harry spent comatose, specify that exact number into the future. But he's curious as well—what changes might have been wrought. ]

6 AM Saturday.

I shall see you then. Is there a particular Place that you wish to see?

Did you go anywhere during your sabbatical?

The usual Christmas things. And an entirely odious flood. There was far too much snow and then people went invisible. I went invisible.

Also, I am now paired with June Harris.

I am sorry for having missed the holidays, I confess. But I am very glad to hear that you have a pairing.

I am, as well. It will be complicated, I think, but I do like her.

Oh, well.

Ford and Demona both left so it's only me and Freeza left for our DnDnmD game. Demona graduated.

Also my inmate disappeared again so I'm worried for him.

Also Lawrence pretended to be my friend and invited me into his cabin so he could hurt Rhys in order to make me give up where I hid Teddy's pearl. only it wasn't Rhys and I don't know who it was who was being stabbed because they were invisible at the time.

[ HORROR. ]

Oh—Gortys, oh no. Are you all right? Is everyone else?

Yeah, it could have been a lot worse. Rhys is okay. We never found the other person, or if it wasn't just a really good trick or something. I'm okay. I didn't tell him where I hid Teddy either but I'm going to get him off the ship pretty soon because it's too dangerous for him here where he can't defend himself.

[She senses Importance.]

Sure, yeah- I'm all over the place, greenhouse or library'd be convenient pretty much anytime. If you want to take a day to get yourself sorted you could just shoot me a message whenever you're ready tomorrow on-?

The greenhouse tomorrow morning, then? So that you know what I wish to discuss—I know that you were one of the people that William entrusted with a copy of his file. I confess I find myself at a loss for how to proceed, and I should like your thoughts.

Naturally I don't wish you to break any confidences, but as you are someone he clearly trusts, I would appreciate your insight.

Looks like Tiffany filled you in, unless you need an update on tubing supplies right this minute. Good to see you up.

Thank you, Bodhi. I hope that you are well?

It seems most of the rest of everyone have seen this before me and given you the necessary information. The only thing I'd add is that a woman from my world has made her way here, my predecessor as Archivist as a matter of fact.

As an inmate. So I would caution you to be wary.

But... I'm glad you've come around. And are. remaining here.
