[1] Less calm, more hosting the entirety of Spotify's podcast library in my head. I forgot how loud everyone is. 🫠

[2] Overdid what with Scott last night?

From:

[1] Post-mission decompression with the liquor cabinet. While over 40.

[2] Which is to say i also found the world to be very loud today.

[3] How bad is it? Have you managed to make it out of the Box yet?

From:

xp_phoenix

[1] Ooof. That sounds like a bad idea.
[2] Not yet. Garrison has been on perfect boyfriend duty and is keeping me company. We're making our way through the Indiana Jones movies.
[3] It's not great.

[1] I'm not surprised. It's been, what, two years since New Orleans?

[2] Is it "I didn't remember what this was like and I'm out of practice" pain or "this is back without any shields at all" pain?

From:

xp_phoenix

[1] Yeah. If I knew getting attacked by the 5 in one clone of Emma Frost would get it back I would have done it earlier. 😑
[2] Little bit of both. Shields feel like tissue paper. Like trying to run a marathon after being out of shape for years.

[1] I get it. Sounds a lot like what happened when you and Charles put me back together after Rhada Dastoor. The attack probably caused additional trauma, like ripping off a scab.

[2] Rahda

[3] That said, some of this might be temporary while things settle down for you. Do you want me to check you out once you're feeling more stable?

From:

[1] It was like my body reacted instinctively to protect itself. After the initial psychic slap in the face.
[2] If I have to. Hopefully it'll all magically resolve itself on its own.
[3] Figuratively magically speaking, of course.

From:

xp_legion

[1] Let's try to avoid literal magic. Wasn't that a contributing factor to losing your telepathy in the first place?

[2] No rush, though. it hasn't even been a week yet.

[3] Do you need anything, or does Garrison have it covered?
