012 ⇨ pick back up

video ⇨ public

[There's a living room, and a couch, and a cup of tea on the table (unseen), and in the middle of the couch, there's Mae. Knees pulled up to her chest, chin pressed against one knee, expression almost blank as she looks at the screen. After a long pause, she sighs and looks down.]

Well, I've been able to find a new device after mine was...boggled up. Let's say I retired it to a better life. Something like that - does it work? Does that sound... [Another sigh, and she hides her face for a moment. A huff of laughter, then she looks up, eyes puffy.]

I haven't quite figured how to be clever and witty and funny when my biggest support is gone. I am glad they managed to escape this place, anyone can tell that we don't belong here, and to think that Alan and Jamie were here long before I - [She shakes her head to focus.] Anyway, yes. And then there was one.

[She uncurls, feet pressed against the floor, and leans over to pick the device.] Give me a few weeks before I become operational again.

[And the feed cuts off there.]

[ooc; Explanation for her long absence - she might have thrown the device out of her window when she realized Alan, Nick and Jamie (especially Jamie) had left the City. Lonely Mae is a new thing. So let's see.]

Oh! Well-- maybe there's a class? I'm fairly rubbish at cooking, unless it's breakfast. Think all I do lately is order take-away.

We should look it up, see if there's something at the university here.

Oh, good - I thought I'd be the only one. Take-away sounds familiar and comforting now.

That and lots of Chunky Monkey sounds about right. Think the Chinese place around the corner knows me by voice now, actually.

Door's always open down here at the Welcome Center, too. I'm very good at sharing.

Welcome Center - got it, noted down and all. I think I'll take you up on that, if you really don't mind.

Something tells me that staying home alone won't really help things a bit.

Mind? I'd love the company, really. And it'll be good for you. Make some new friends, have some food -- really, I'd love to help.

Drown the silence, right? I think I will, yeah.

Oh, good. Great! I'll see you soon then, yeah?

Yes ma'am!
