[Maggie looks a bit paler and much more exhausted than usual, but puts on as warm and chipper a front as she can. She's clearly sitting on the floor as she posts this.]

Hello again, Wonderland! While it's good to see all of your lovely faces, those nine flights of stairs up to my room are a considerably less welcome sight. Would someone be so kind as to help me up to my bed? A couple of someones if necessary? I've had an eventful week and I'm not at my best.

Once that's managed, I intend to stay there for a few days at barest minimum.

I'll be hosting horror movie marathons tomorrow night and the night after, in room 969, barring Wonderland-interference. Prior acquaintance not required! If horror isn't your cup of tea, feel free to stop by during the afternoons instead. Incidentally, non-metaphorical cups of tea will be available, or your hot or caffeinated beverage of choice. Hope to see you soon, darlings!

((Spam tags for movie night or afternoon visits also welcome!))


[Private to Mahir, Shaun, and Georgia]

[More seriously, dropping any pretense:]

How long was I gone? Let me find my bed, and then all of you get over here before you ask what you've missed back home.

[She doesn't want to do this more than once.]

[Huh, that's lovely. And his first thought is that it is related to Wonderland, and between events. Always a concern in the back of his head.]

You able to walk at all, or need to be carried? Where you at?

[talesuntold]

I can walk from my bed to the bathroom on my own. Stairs are still a bad plan.

[screwedontight]

So carried up to your room. Fair enough. I'm already on the floor, but could help with that if you don't find anyone else. [Because he's betting around here, most would volunteer.]

I'm actually sober and everything.

Sounds like someone needs a superhero.

[He gives her his most charming grin.]

Oh my god you are such a dork.

Re: video

[talesuntold]

Friend of yours, Tim?

[There's the cheering up she needed.]

[cloned]

Stop talking to your mirror, Tim.

Re: video

[talesuntold]

That would be you, I assume. Are you volunteering your services?

[She summons up a smile. When someone calls himself a superhero, the appropriate response is obviously joking flirtation to cover up just how worn out you are.]

The one, the... apparently not only Superboy. [He waves an arm and nods.] And yes. I figure between the super strength, flight, speed, and tactile telekinesis, I can get you up there comfortably and fast.

[Tim is super in the mood for all kinds of distraction.]

It happens I'm in the mood for any kind of movie--including horror. Need someone to make a library run?

Re: video

[talesuntold]

As if I'd ever turn down a library run. Surprise me, please!

[mrsarcastic003]

You got it.

[And toward the evening, Tim will arrive with The Fly, The Mummy, and Dracula.]

Knock knock.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Looks like you have a few offers to get you up to your room, so I won't bother with that--it's been at least a few days.

[He looks worried and he's definitely biting back about a thousand questions.]

You okay?

[Private Video]

[talesuntold]

A bit longer than that on my end.

I will be. Gunshot wound, less than a week ago, no major damage to any organs and you got me to medical professionals in time. [She does specify 'major,' though. She'll be fine, but she suffered more than just blood loss.]

[Private Video]

[adaptiveimmunities]

[There is a definite and obvious sigh of relief, because what the hell, Maggie. You're not supposed to be one of the ones in the line of fire.]

We're on our way. You can give us the details when we get there? Can we bring you anything?

[choosetruth]

Presumably a week, though we didn't catch it for sure til a few days ago.

[But it's usually a week. She has no reason to think Maggie would be an exception to that rule.

She also has a whole lot of questions about what she's missed back home, but at Maggie's request, she keeps them in. For now.]

Do you require medical assistance? You don't look great.

private video

[talesuntold]

My sleep schedule does get out of sync with everyone else's sometimes. [No hard feelings about not missing her sooner, Georgia.]

I've had medical assistance, followed by a few days of observation. I shouldn't exert myself yet, but I'll recover.

[burntvideocassette]

[They've only spoken once before, but the fact that Jay hasn't seen his fellow movie night host around the office in at least a week has been enough to get him a little worried.]

[She's back, though, and that's good. She can't walk, though, and that's considerably less good. He could probably drag her upstairs in a pinch, but it sounds like some other people have it covered.]

As the, uh...as Shaun's gofer, I guess, 's there anything I can get you? Like...stuff to watch? Something from the kitchen?

Re: video

[talesuntold]

I'll never turn down something to watch. Pick a movie and come over after I've had a chance to settle back in and talk to Mahir, Shaun, and Georgia, please.

[video]

[uncoils]

[She's assuming people have volunteered to help, so Jolyne'll ask the important question.]

Which ones are you going to show?

[video] I'm so sorry! I do all my tags from email and just now saw that this never went through!

[talesuntold]

I'm very flexible, so it depends on who shows up. I could go for the original classics, like Hitchcock films, but I'm just as happy with Freddy Krueger or with more obscure examples of the genre. I'm good with mockably bad, too. There are bonus points if anyone brings me some horror that doesn't exist in my universe.

[singloversing]

O-Oh my gosh, are you okay? Someone came to help you, right? I'm sorry, I saw this really late a-and I don't know how much help I would have been anyway but are you alright?

[He's fretting so much, but he realistically knows he probably couldn't have lifted her. He's not very strong.]

Um, do you need anything? I could-- I can probably help there. That way you don't have to get up and stuff.

Re: Video

[talesuntold]

[Maggie really does feel bad about worrying Wirt. He worries enough without having friends turn up with gunshot wounds. She summons up her best reassuring smile.]

I got hurt, but the doctor already took care of me back in my world. I'll be fine, Wirt. I promise. I just need to rest a bit longer.

Why don't you bring me something to read and keep me company for awhile? I'd like that.

theeeeeeee latest tag-in, with action.

[scathefires]

[Jason debates with himself on whether to show up - he's never so much as spoken with Maggie, and he's not exactly a social butterfly - but finally, by the second night after her post, it's sheer boredom that wins out. Watching movies is something to do. So he turns up at her door and knocks politely.]

Re: theeeeeeee latest tag-in, with action.

[talesuntold]

"Come on in!" Maggie calls. Currently, she's near the beginning of Jurassic World, because there are dinosaurs outside and this movie never came to be in her universe. A new installment in a favorite franchise.

She doesn't bother to ask who's there.
