oo9 ★ LET'S NEVER EVER DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN

[ There's a laugh, though it's a bit strained, a bit forced. ]

I think I've got whiplash from how fast I got yanked from the past into the future. Everyone okay?

... Speaking of whips, these would've been nice to have a couple of weeks ago. [ deadpan: ] Thanks a whole slagging lot, Mayfield.

Uh. Flora? I know we haven't... been officially introduced, but I owe you. You... probably saved my life. I- um. I know you've gone through a lot lately. Are you- is there anything I can do for you?

[ private to Harley | action, since they're in the same house ]

Harley? You around?

I'm...fine. Or will be, in any case.

[electrowhipit]

That was... one wild ride.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes, it certainly was. Something I hope never to repeat.

[electrowhipit]

My thoughts exactly.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Though, you had some happiness if I remember correctly. I'm sure you would like that repeated at least.

[electrowhipit]

Yeah, well, unfortunately what happened before that might... it wasn't so happy.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Do you mean when we were all younger?

[electrowhipit]

Yeah.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes...Sideswipe was...what happened to him to make him act that way?

[electrowhipit]

I'm not entirely sure, and I really don't think he'd want me talking about it anyway. The best I can tell you is... war. War happened.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

...war. [She lets out a tired sigh.]

I hope he doesn't feel to badly about what happened. If I hadn't...if I had been who I am now, I would have done more to help.

[electrowhipit]

You'll have to talk to him about that.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I certainly will.

But what about you? Were you alright during all that? I'm afraid I don't remember running into you.

[electrowhipit]

... I mostly kept to myself. [ a pause ] I guess you could say my past was a far cry for my supposed future, but I'm okay now.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I think I can understand that somewhat.

I'm glad you're alright now.

[electrowhipit]

Thanks, Sophie.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.
