You make it through that shit?
Yeah. Yeah, me too.
I saw you once. I think. And I tried to get to you or hallucination you, but the Mares weren't letting me.
[ The dead wouldn't let him. The protomolecule crystal-like wall. ]

I was with Wei Wuxian at first, found Rodriguez at some point. After that...I don't know who was real or not.
You?
You?
Some people ran into me, but I never met them before. Their names were Harriet, Ava and Kate. Like myself, they were dealing with their own shit.
I also spent some time with my former roommate - Peter. He saved me from a manifestation of a nightmare I was experiencing.

Good. Good.
Assuming they're one and the same, I'm familiar with Ava and Kate, we're on friendly terms. Course, I met them on better, more fun terms.
[ It's weak humor, it's more or less empty chatter. ]

They seem like good people. Capable.
[ meaning, they seemed like ideal choices to stave off Mares and the like, one being a warrior and other capable of force fields. ]
Me too. I'm relieved you're still here, Bela.
And hey, if it gets to be too much at night and you need someone to help you sleep, I'm in room 214, okay?

I am glad that you're still here too, James.
[ She reads over the second part of his message a few times. Bela hasn't really met with anyone since she came back from the hospital, and she's only texted over the network. ]
That is a very sweet offer and I think I'll take you up on it. Getting to sleep has been difficult ever since the hospital.

Same.
[ But James leaves it at that, allowing Bela to choose whether or not she means now or in the near future. ]

Appreciate it.
Yeah, sure, sounds like a plan. Whenever you need company, just reach out.

hey bee
so I think tech is currently being punished for snooping around his mansion and I could really do with the distraction from worrying about him right now
he says he's fine and communicating via his mind (it's a god thing) but you know how dumb boys are, he's probably lying. anyway talk to me before I go insane lol

[ After no response... ]
bela? are you okay??
bela? are you okay??
[ The sheer relief she feels once she finally hears from Bela... and maybe a little anger too because how dare Lucifer hurt the two people she cares about the most. It was a double whammy for her having them both go missing at the same time. ]
holy shit are you okay???? do you need a hug? do you want me to come over?
[ She's spent enough time with Tech to know he's recovered, now it's Bela's turn to be checked on. ]

[ It's been days since he heard from Bela, so addressing that is his first concern. If the reason for said silence revolves around Them or him, James is ignorant, and given how well they've been doing, his assumption is something's happened to her. Worry eating away at his sleep, James appears on screen with bags under his eyes and a croaky voice as he tries reaching out via the Network when knocking at her door has proven fruitless. ]
I can't find you. And I don't like it.
I can't find you. And I don't like it.
[ Bela fully intended to reach out to people when she was released from the torture room, but she was exhausted from her ordeal. After her wound was patched up and she took a long bath, she slept the rest of the day into the next morning. When Bela woke up, she had messages waiting for her from both Ava and James. She responds to Ava's text first because it was easier than having to reply with either voice or video.
When she switches from text to video, Bela makes an effort to look her best, but he'll notice that her skin is paler and that she looks tired. He didn't look great either and that makes her concerned. ]
If you'd know where I have been for the past week, you definitely wouldn't like it, James. [ She heaves out a sigh, worrying at her bottom lip. ]
I was held prisoner by some demons and subjected to torture. I'm not sure I want to tell you what they did... [ Bela trails off, sucking in a breath. ]

I'll be fine. Peter was lucky enough to find me when I was let go and he's been taking care of me since then.
[ Bela is reluctant to give her friend even more of a chance to worry about her, but she knows Ava will because of how close they've gotten. ]
You can visit later if you like.

[ He zeroes in and pales at the sight of her as his body goes through a rollercoaster of emotions, from that elated high at knowing she's still here, followed by the sickening drop at simply seeing her because something's visibly wrong before she even confirms it.
In a tight and pained tone, James asks -- ] If you tell me where you are, I can be there. If you want me there.

thank god... well, not god. thank peter.
how much later is "later"? an hour? two hours? twenty minutes?
[ What is the protocol for visiting friends??? Ava has no clue. ]

[ Until now, the most horrific physical thing she had gone through was being bitten and turned into a zombie. The torture went beyond that and now Bela has a mark to remind her of the experience, aside from any bad dreams that may come as a result. ]
I do want you here. God, I do. [ She wants to be comforted and reconnect with people she's close to. ] I'm in room 201. It's a shared suite, but my roommates seem to be elsewhere at the moment.
