[It's been a while since Claudia's face has been seen on the Network, it's true. And the look on said face at the moment is one of mild amusement. Her hair is rather a mess, no colored streak, no jewelry even (except for the multiple ear-piercings of course, and the SD card on a cord around her neck). She appears to be in her room, which is much tidier now than when it was previously seen. She's got a Jinksie in her lap, currently washing his face with his paw.]

S'up, bitches? Seems like things got kinda exciting around here while I was KO'd. What the hell happened, a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure flood?

[At least she isn't completely anti-social like she'd been before. She's still very obviously got something heavy weighing on her shoulders, but she's not letting it bury her under anymore. This is Claudia attempting to resurface.]

And there's some new faces around, which.. I guess is pretty much to be expected. [She points at the screen:] New faces -- [and points at herself.] -- Claudia Donovan. Techie secret agent cyber hacker punk rocker chick with a hint of fabulous, if I do say so myself. [She then looks down at the cat in her lap.] And this is Jinks. He enjoys licking himself while being recorded. Apparently. [In babytalk:] Who's my little exhibitionist? You are! Yes, you are!

[ooc: She didn't do any privately-filtered things because she's actually unsure exactly how long she's been out and is almost afraid to address anyone directly just in case they forgot her/left/don't care about her anymore, fff.]

[On Willow's communicator, in Willow's cabin. It's Claudia. Who looks like Willow. There are tearstains on her cheeks. She doesn't particularly care. She just really wants this to stop already, okay? Please? And, in a trembly, upset Willow-voice:]

...This is Claudia. I've been swapped. Obviously. Not really in the mood to be social, so... Yeah, stay the fuck away from me for right now. That goes for everyone.

[She's having psychiatric hospital flashbacks thanks to this prison-room, forgive the cussing.]

Pretty sure Willow won't take too much advantage of the situation, but... Just be aware that she's out there in my body, I guess.

[And before she shuts this off, she murmurs:] I'd kill to just have my damn iPod back. Fucking silence. Can't stand it.

[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.

[TEXT / Private to the Admiral]

Admiral, if it's at all possible, I'd like to request Willow's soul be returned to her, preferably sometime within the next 24 hours. And if you can't do it, let me know ASAP, as I've already been researching other methods. Thanks.

[(EDITED) AND LATER, AFTER THE PATRONIZING ADMIRAL HAS RESPECTFULLY (LOLOLOL) DECLINED:]

[Have a video with Claudia sulkily munching on a cookie. She is quite frowny-face. There is some pouting. She's back in her cabin now, and not in the library.] I'm starting to get the whole "Admiral Sucks" vibe that goes on around here now. Cookie's okay, though, not gonna lie.

[Private to Merlin ([personal profile] takeyouapart)]

Admiral declined giving Willow's soul back. I've been doing some research. [Pause.] Okay, a lot. But I'm completely clueless when it comes to magic. So, I'm not sure it's helped much, if any. Uhm. Help please?

[Private to Dean ([personal profile] surfaceshine)]

Dude, you got me all excited for cream cheese and bagels and then bailed. What gives? [Yet there's obvious concern in her tone, and in her expression.] ...You okay? 'Cause, uh, if you're available, I might need some assistance man-handling Willow down to level zero while I try to get this whole ensoulment thing started. If you can think of anyone else that might also be able and willing to help, it would be sooo much appreciated.

[Private to Dracula ([personal profile] nolongerhollow)]

I'm contacting Merlin to help me get started on bringing Willow's soul back. And I've contacted Dean to try and help get her down to level zero so no badness happens in the meantime. Can I get your help with that, too? And, uh, I might ask you to stay with me down there, too, once this all gets started... I could really use the help and the support. Also: you're awesome. And I promise once things get settled down, we are so having that MST3K party. Count on it. [Have a sincere, if still a little stressed, smile.]

[This will be the first video entry where Claudia is actually not in her cabin. She's in the library. There are books open around her. There are lots of post-it notes. Her communicator is propped up on a book so she doesn't have to hold it.

She's got a bright streak of red in her hair. She's devoid of any jewelry besides her normal abundance of earrings, and her Wardening matching bracelet to Willow's. She looks quite tired.

Okay, I could use a good distraction. Sooo... What's going on here, random strangers? Anyone I know out there? ...Artie?

[[OOC: No mistaking her for her actress. That's pretty much the only thing I ask. Feel free to mistake her for other characters with her face, though.

ETA: Long day was long. Going to bed now. More replies tomorrow! ♥]]
