[ TLV | Video ] 009 - Hi my name is Sneezy.

[reactivates]

[Sittin' in her bed back in her cabin, drinking some juice through a pink double-heart-shaped crazy-straw. Her hair is a little messy (though she does have a pink streak in it) and she looks pale, but otherwise there's no leftover visible trace of her illness from the last few days. (Don't ask her how she got flu-type sickness in space. From port, maybe? She hasn't thought too hard on the how yet.) There is, however, an audible trace - her voice sounds lower than usual, and still sort of congested.]

Uhm. Sorry I've been AWOL from the Network for a while, you guys. I was kind of down for the count. To be honest, it was kinda good timing? But also bad timing. Eh, never mind. It was neutral timing. But weird. Guess I called it on the space-sickness though, huh? [A grin here, though she knows that wasn't the type of sickness she was referring to when she first arrived on the Barge.]

How much did I miss, anyway? Fill me in, pretty please? My eyes are still too tired to go back-tracking.

[Private to Merlin]
Thank you.

[Private to Dracula]
I seem to recall you leaving me a message, but for the life of me I can't even remember what was going on. You doing okay?

[Private to Dean]
Thanks for hauling my ass to the medical ward during the worst of it, despite my protesting. I did manage to get back before Willow got soul-ified, so all's good here. Or mostly good, anyway.

[He holds up a hand.] No...no...it is the Death Toll. I will be all right within...a week...you did nothing.

Death Toll? Holy-- Shit. Are you-- well, obviously you aren't okay, but... Jinkies, Drac', what happened? I mean, if you feel like telling me, not that you have to. Uhm.

"I underwent a...sort of exorcism. My own...my own situation is the inverse of Willow's. There was a mindless, violent, demonic energy that was inside of me, and it had to be cleansed. So I would be safe to be around human friends like you, truly safe...and so I could regain my faith."

[She nods at the explanation, with a somewhat sad, but also sort of impressed, smile.] Sounds like a hell of a sacrifice though, if the whole process actually killed you. I, uh, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

It could have been worse. I was allowed to survive, and retain my powers, that I might do some good with them.

It will be worth it. Both for myself and for my people. Freedom of religion is something people should be able to take for granted.
