[How the hell do you start a message to someone who watched you die? "Sorry for being flammable?" "Sorry for not resurrecting sooner?"]

Hi DJ.

I'm... Back, if you'd like to talk. I do want to say, however: that wasn't your fault. November was... Very difficult. With the explosions in Bavan and everything else... It just... Made me somewhat of a powderkeg. The flammability of being a eucalyptus plant (Well, usually. Not currently) combined with the effects of getting too into it made the month's nonsense rather dangerous for a nymph.

Are you okay?

[DJ has been having a.. hard time. To say the least. The last half of November was spent being uncharacteristically antisocial while he tried to wrangle with the fact that he very much was responsible for killing his... his... someone he cared about a lot.

So he's not exactly sober or slept well when he gets the message from Fitz, the tiny musical ping of his laptop nearly ignored before he sees the username. Only one person he knows would have something so needlessly scientific sounding.

Holy shit. Holy shit holy shit what does he say?]

am I okay???? i'm drunk and i'm a fucking mess but jesus christ fitz would ya stop worrying about other people. are U okay?

[He doesn't respond for several seconds. He's not okay. He'd come back from Dyster to find Auto in one of those deep sleeps where you know they're not getting up for a while. He'd spent the time after his resurrection trying not to give in to the nightmares about burning, and had finally given in and paid Mana to make him something else for a month to get the worry out of his mind.]

To put it bluntly, no. But I will be.


Would you rather talk face to face, or is this better?

<djinn&tonic> cw: emeto mention

[joiseydevil]

[He wants to see Fitz. He does. DJ wants to see him and physically be able to make sure he was uninjured as could be and well... as stable as possible, considering the circumstances.

But the thought of facing Fitz right now also has him choking back the urge to throw up, suddenly dizzy with the memory of burning eucalyptus and stinging flames and-

He takes a deep breath, exhales, and then forces in another.]

i think this is better. i'm gonna need some. some time? i think? so i can be sure i'm not gonna pull some more kind of fucked up shit and get you hurt. i feel like a total dick, and i think i just gotta work it out

[theonlymeisme]

Okay. Whatever you'd like. But I know you're not going to, DJ. This wasn't your fault. I promise.

<djinn&tonic>
