[ 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.

[ private to Flora | unhackable ]

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?

[She takes a step backwards, still smiling.] Why are you thanking me?

[electrowhipit]

For being there. For... coming to help me. [ he shrugs ]


I uh... the future me had gotten you a present, and well, I sort of felt like I should, too. So... [ he holds out a little box for her ]

[She stares at the small gift in surprise and takes it from him lightly, just...looking at it in disbelief.]

You...got this for me?

[electrowhipit]

[ he might look a tiny bit embarrassed ] Yeah.

[She's still admiring it.]

Thank you...

[electrowhipit]

Go on, open it.

[ It's not much, but she'll fine a little necklace inside. ]

action time!

[She does so very carefully, and when she sees the necklace she gasps, a huge smile appearing on her face.]

It's...it's perfect!

action time!

[electrowhipit]

I'm glad you like it.

Re: action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

I love it! [She's just beaming, practically jumping up and down.]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ He can't help but beam back- her smile is catching ] Let's see how it looks on you, shall we?

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[Carefully, she removes the necklace, and tries to clasp it around her neck. Which, she's not very good at.]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

Here. Let me. [ he reaches around to clasp the necklace, and steps back once it's secured ]

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

How does it look?

action time!

[electrowhipit]

Wonderful. It is perfect.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

[ aww, Flora gets a headpat ] You're welcome.

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She admires the necklace a little longer, before frowning suddenly.] But...I didn't get you anything...[Because she hadn't known him before 8<]

action time!

[electrowhipit]

You don't have to.

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

But you're my friend.

action time!

[electrowhipit]

That alone is more than enough.

action time!

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Well, i-if you say so...

[electrowhipit]

I do. [ have a bit of an awkward pause ] And, uh... Merry Christmas.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Merry Christmas to you too!
