[video] once there was a way to get back homeward

[nascensibility]

[It wasn't enough, she thinks, to lose so much back home that she had to return here to another loss she was only just rebuilding. It wasn't enough to take away, it wasn't enough to really hurt, no, to quietly return to a familiar room, empty with its vast walls and dark corners. Slowly she filled it again, odds and ends of furniture and the trappings of a home to which she can never return.

She has a reputation to uphold even in spite of the circumstances, better to nurse the greatest wound out of the public eye, a garish scar across her stomach. Evelyn could swear the blade reached her heart.

The exhaustion nestles deep into her bones, a palpable chill that reminds her what she is.

What she isn't.]

I've been informed I was away for a little while, [she addresses the network, unable to muster more than a tired smile.] Perhaps someone might catch me up. I'll be-

[For a moment Evelyn appears distracted, hand gravitating toward her waist.]

I'll be in the library. I've also got several, erm, dogs that need homes. Please let me know if you're interested.



Private to Philip, 11:31 AM
I’m back. May I come and see you? It's important.

I've been informed that it's possible. A friend of mine had returned home once, returning with their memories but I know that isn't always the case. ( What she doesn't say is that she has returned to Wonderland without memories, and it's a little irritating fact to have something ripped from her. Memories are the only things they have in some cases ) It's curious why it doesn't always happen.

I don't know.

[Evelyn wonders if she would have preferred a clean slate, herself.]

It didn't happen to you.

[It is presumptuous and rude, she knows, to blatantly point out knowing a person when they do not remember you, when it is clearly something that bothers them. Evelyn had not been close friends with Peggy before but they had gotten on rather well, which is more than can be said for a lot of people who loiter in the library.]
