ooc: Finally coming back from what turned out to be an incredibly long hiatus, sorry about that everyone. After some thinking and discussing I decided that what makes the most sense (I should have thought about this in advance I know) is that Lirael here has been mallynapped. This is her return home after that experience. She's fine, just a little confused since it's been weeks.

Action:

[ If anyone wants to wander into a slightly confused and disoriented Lirael, this is your chance. Break time and space and go crazy, she can be just about anywhere but eventually she does make her way back to house 44 and gets inside, at which point she immediately heads for the kitchen and starts rummaging around to find something to eat. She's a little too out of it to actually manage anything constructive though so she might need a hand. ]

Video:

[ Once the dust has cleared and Lirael has been fed and rested and had a bath and all of that good stuff, she makes one of her rare and usually brief video appearances because ugh showing her face to everyone is just so very awkward. Still, it felt like it might be a good idea since she's been gone for quite a while. ]

Uh, hello. I don't know if... [ If anyone noticed? That sounds a little rude, doesn't it? ] I mean... um... I've been gone for a while. Apparently.

I just wanted to say that I'm back now, and I'm fine. In case someone was... Just... In case.

[ Yes Luceti, the Queen of Awkward has indeed come back to you. Aren't you all so glad? ]

Maybe nobody would, but I've made some friends here... and apparently I've been gone for a while. So I just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm back.

I see. And your friends, no doubt, have been overjoyed that you are no longer gone.

Though...what if they didn't notice?

My housemates seemed pretty happy to see me.

[ Which was a nice surprise. ]

If they hadn't noticed... it wouldn't be anything new.

[ She would have been devastated. ]

Do you think they'd be the types what would pay a ransom if you were suddenly...removed?

[It's a hypothetical question. Seriously.

Really.]

[ It's an odd and somewhat suspicious hypothetical question, is what it is. ]

I think they'd be more the types to attempt a rescue.

[ Yes, Lirael has actually considered scenarios like this because she is prone to dramatic daydreaming. ]

Are they...dangerous?

[And Jack is prone to dramatics. Period. And he's been sorely bereft of them since becoming a nerd.]

[ Lirael has always been a nerd. A depressed and attention-craving but desperately shy nerd.

Clearly these two are a rather ~~awesome~~ unfortunate combination. ]

Some of them can be.

[Too bad she didn't meet him during his ACTUAL nerddom. It has sent him a bit into pirate overload. That and the possession. He needs to feel more his old self more than ever.

A little kidnapping escapade might help with that.]

HOW dangerous, darling? The sort that might slash open a man's belly, spilling his innards? Or the sort what might cast a spell on him that causes all of his toenails to fall out and his extremities to shrivel into blackened stumps? Or the sort what just spreads horrible rumors to a man's circle of acquaintance about his nocturnal habits?

[ It is a shame, it would have been amazing probably.

Lirael has the feeling that she ought to be very wary of where this conversation is going, but she can't help it, she's always sort of intrigued by Jack whenever they speak. He's just so weird. ]

Um... all of it? I mean, it'd depend on who we're talking about.

Well you haven't exactly named names yet, sweetie-pie.

Would you know who I was talking about?

I've been here over three years now, darling. There's a very excellent chance that I would.

All right, I'll give you some names.

Sabriel, Saori, Helios, Rei, Max... Any of those ringing any bells for you?

Mostly all of my bells, with a couple of exceptions.

[And one or two of them he wouldn't want to piss off.]

Saori's a particular friend of mine. Helios....well.

[Hmph.]

She's a particular friend of mine too.

You and Helios don't get along?

[ Because that's what it sounded like, and if you don't get along with Helios Lirael is kind of curious about how on earth you managed. ]

No, no, it's not that. Just that he were very tight friends with a man with whom I, shall we say, had interesting exchanges.

[Giles. Ugh.]

Interesting exchanges? Sounds like there's a story there.

It's not for your ears, woman.

[Jack's voice suddenly turns sharp. He doesn't think you could handle that level of horror, really.]
