[ sent from the Jess Drew comm. enjoy this video of her red converse.

anyways, Jess' voice is heard off-camera and it sounds a little strained, her definitely trying to sound like she's not upset. ]

So, Mary Jane Watson got sent home. I mean, I think. She's kind of inexplicably gone and all of her stuff is still here. [ her tone shakes but she ignores it ]

So that's -- what -- three people from the same universe within a few weeks. Johnny Storm, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane Watson. Is that weird? It seems a little weird. [ her tone rushes at this and she abruptly pauses ]

Or maybe it's just some giant -- like, government conspiracy. Actually, I think that's worse.

Never -- nevermind. [ and then a beat ] Has this ever happened before? So many people from the same place going back at once. Because it kind of sucks. Seriously. Thanks, God.

[ and then she hangs up. ]

[hellionated]

Which is better, random coincidence or Portal-funded conspiracy?

[ Beat. ]

They could come back.

go od also permavoice

[webline]

Uh, random coincidence, I guess. Because at least, I know they'll be okay. [ sorta

a pause ]

They have before. I just need to hold out and wait... I think.

[ichoosefight]

Friends of yours?

[webline]

[ oh no steph ]

Yeah. And my -- my boyfriend.

voice;

[ichoosefight]

Oh, ouch. I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?

[borntobewildcat]

Unless you know something about home that the rest of us don't, I'm pretty sure that's always better than government conspiracy here...

[webline]

[ oh yeah she definitely does but lips sealed ]

I was just -- making stuff up! You know, all the anti-imPort news, it's just getting me worried.

They're fine at home. Don't listen to what I was saying.

[borntobewildcat]

Yeah, it's not really the best time to be making stuff like that up right now. Especially since Vulcanus is probably involved somehow, but... [He just shrugs.]

Are you going to be okay?

[osreborn]

[ But AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. I mean, that's so sad. ]

[remake]

W-what do you think the the government would want with-- uh.

[ gently a bit freaked out??
yeah sorry Jess, Miles never actually never minds when you tell him to ]

[webline]

[ miles.... ]

Forget it. They wouldn't want anything with them. I wasn't -- I was just saying schmegegge.

[remake]

--wait, what's schmegegge? [ you better bet he pronounced that wrong ]

[recurve]

First Johnny, then Gwen, and now MJ? Dammit!

[webline]

[ abrupt pause ]

S-sorry....

[recurve]

It's not-- I... [now she feels kinda bad] This just really sucks. I mean, I'm sorry, too.

[webline]

No, it's okay. I get it. [ she takes a deep breath ] It's just something I should have been prepared for.

[recurve]

It's a pretty crappy thing to need to prepare for.

[webline]

That's how it goes here though, isn't it?

[recurve]

Pretty much. Just when everything is starting to feel normal, the Porter pulls a fast one.

[webline]

Her programming makes her temperamental, I guess.

[recurve]

It just sucks that she takes it out on all of us.

[ He's frowning into the feed. He might not pick up on a lot of stuff with Jessica, but he can tell this is upsetting to her. Only natural, right? ]

I'm sorry, Jessica. [ A beat. ] If you need anything...

voice

[webline]

[ she exhales. ]

Thanks, Gil. I -- I'll be okay. It's just... a lot to take in.

permavid

[invoking]

Does that happen often? People being sent back in groups.

voice.

[crab]

Yeah. A bunch of people went back from mine all at once. [ spoken awkwardly because how do you even talk to new people in a way that is not shouting at them. ]

voice.

[webline]

[ oh. someone new.

hesitates: ]

I -- that sucks. I'm sorry.

(voice.)

[solidorkable]

I... am sorry, Jessica.

voice;

[incywincyhero]

Think maybe we jinxed ourselves by moving out?

[agentofshield]

Near as I can figure, the government here has not nothing to do with that machine.
