[ the view is obscured by an exhale of cigarette smoke, until jenny lifts a hand to wave it away. the gesture is unremarkable, except it's irritable somehow. the camera is sitting on her bedside table, angled a bit carelessly, because when she moves away from it, she doesn't seem to care if her face shows or not-- but she's visible from the middle down, pacing and smoking. ]

Hey.

Has anyone seen Julian Keller?

[ another exhale of smoke. then she moves to sit on the cot. ]

He sent me something. So I just wanna know if anyone's fucking seen him or not.

[ she lifts a hand to run through her hair. it's getting long now. but she's quiet. quiet for a while. then irritably, she flicks her cigarette to floor and grinds it out. hard. ]

Happy fucking holidays.

[ then she turns the feed off. ]

[ does she even want to do this? god, it's horrible that all her friends are friends with her other friends. but she can certainly approach it as distantly as she possible. ]

He Said He Would Likely Return In A Week

[centurybaby]

[ right, this is awkward. probably more so for kanaya than jenny. ]

Has anybody else gone missing? If not, you're probably getting your fucking hopes up.

Im Not Thats Just What His Message Said
The Porter Is Leaking Like A Sieve I Really Doubt He Will Return At All
But I Can Confirm That Hes Gone

[symmachy]

Is he missing now?

[centurybaby]

Trying to find out. Why, you know him?

[symmachy]

Yeah. What did he send you?

voice;

[maggotbone]

[Someone isn't happy]

He's gone...

Hopefully not long, but he ported out.

[centurybaby]

And you know this how?

[maggotbone]

He left me a message to me in the event that it happened.

...Yeah. Who knows if he'll turn back up.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why? Do you have abandonment issues?

[centurybaby]

Sure. I'm all kinds of fucked up.

[voice]

[notadartboard]

Aw, damn. He was the one guy still left here that I didn't actively hate.

[centurybaby]

Sounds like you have issues.

[gandere]

Not for a while. [ Which she regrets, but doesn't let it show on her face as she wears her best poker expression. ] I received a message from him today, but there's no way it was recorded today.

[centurybaby]

What'd he say to you?

video.

[nitidus]

[She'd been at work when she got his message - which prompted thirty minutes in the bathroom and one lie about excessive vomiting.

She looks a little shaken. ]

I stopped by his apartment to pick up Hellion - he wasn't there.

[centurybaby]

Guess it's my apartment now. Not that I can fucking do anything with it.

[permavoice]

[wisecracked]

Got a message saying he'd been 'ported out... But, hey, that happens all the time right? He could be back in a few days. [She doesn't sound as hopeful as she'd like. She knows there's the possibility of it being for good but she's going to try to hold out until the week has passed and then be sad about it.]

[centurybaby]

Or he could be back never, too.

voice

[corviform]

I haven't seen him in a while either, sorry.

[centurybaby]

What're you fucking sorry for? It's not like it's your fault.

voice;

[waiting]

[ in some ways, it's a relief, albeit one he feels guilty for feeling. his only encounters with julian keller have been terse, to say the least, colored by their respective ideas of what's best for jenny quantum -- and terry.

but whatever else julian keller was, he was jenny's friend, and he knows those are getting thin on the ground these days. for everyone. ]

Sorry. Haven't seen him. [ his visits have been less frequent, less involved, since the attack on City Hall; these days, there's always a slight air of distraction about him, but he doesn't tend to discuss those worries with her. ]

What'd he send?

[centurybaby]

[ there's a long pause between when she hears his voice and when she answers. ]

A letter. And his apartment keys.

[crab]

I'm guessing you didn't have any luck? [ is his glum response. it had been a long time since he and julian had spoken, but something aches knowing he's gone, regardless. ] A lot of us seem to be disappearing lately.

[centurybaby]

Yeah. It sucks.

Hi, Kitty.
