Did you see Seth's post on the network?

[danced]

[ there's a stretch of time between after she reads that and when she texts back. ]

yes.
did he hurt you?

[grunge]

Not here.
Just look out for him. If you see him, leave. Say you're sick or something. Get out as fast as you can.

[ jessica's already seen what she can do, and she knows she's not being warned lightly. she doesn't know if what the man can do would have any effect on her, but it doesn't matter; between seth's warning and now jess's, she's making a promise not to engage. ]

i will.
what about you?

[grunge]

He can only get to me through other people
I'm doing what I can to make sure that doesn't happen

[danced]

you know i can do more than most can.
is there anyone i should look out for?

[grunge]

I know. Maybe what he does won't work on you. That's not a risk I'm willing to take.

I already

The only one I know for sure is his sub.

[danced]

then i wont take it either. you have my word.

who are they? can anything be done to get them out of it?

[grunge]

I'm getting together everything I can think of to stop him

You should know something

[danced]

what should i know?

[grunge]

That I knew this could happen
Someone told me when I got here, the dead show up all the time
I should have been more careful

[ She owes this information to other people, too. Marcos. Shadow. But they haven't already lived a thousand years of captivity and God knows what else. It's only right to start (and in all likelihood end) with Kisa. ]

[danced]

[ there's a long moment after she reads the message where kisa considers what to say in response. because she could just tell her that it isn't her fault someone from her past had ended up here, that even knowing the possibility is there doesn't mean that she could have, or should have, known that it would happen, but that doesn't mean she'd believe it, no matter how much kisa means it. ]

do you remember what you told me when we were compelled to say things about ourselves we didnt want to?

[grunge]

The gist of it
Are you calling me a hypocrite?

[danced]

no. i just dont want you shouldering the blame for something you couldnt have known was going to happen
if i dont deserve that then neither do you.

[grunge]

[ She is calling her a hypocrite, and Jess appreciates it. ]

Thanks

And sorry to ask this but
Vampire question: Do you breathe?

[danced]

por supuesto

its okay
yes i do. but i can hold it

[grunge]

Nevermind
It was a stretch anyway
