So...I'm leaving.
[Allison pauses for a beat. She looks pale and haggard...just plain wrung out, but a little calmer than she has been lately. She's not so strung out, however, that she doesn't realize how that sounds.
It takes her a second, but she gets there, eyes widening and raising a hand.]
Not permanently! Not permanently, I'm sorry...and I'm not going home, so nobody worry about me...well, y'know.
[Not that she's sure certain ex-best friends are actually worried...she has to try and think of it that way or else the pain comes back and she can't breathe, and she won't go seeking Zane out for more of that weird mojo he does...]
Anyway. I'm just...I've talked to Zane, and he says there's a safe place I can go with his people. Somewhere I can just...work out the kinks, y'know?
[She lowers her gaze, and she suddenly leans out of frame. A moment later, Duchess is being settled onto her shoulder, and the little rabbit seems to know her mommy is upset, because she promptly turns her face towards Allison's neck and starts licking her.]
Something...bad happened to me on the other Barge. Something that really messed me up, and if you don't know about it I'm not going to tell you. I'm not...ready yet. I just need a break to clear my head, find my focus again. That's all, I promise I'm coming back. I'm still settling a few details...like telling everyone...and figuring out this Barge time stuff. The idea is that I'll be gone a couple of weeks, give or take...for me, but for you guys I hope to be gone no more than a day or two. I don't want this to affect my responsibilities to my inmate, or my fellow Wardens...
I just need the time. I figure once I have everything pinned down, I'll leave as early as tomorrow, no later than Wednesday. So...
[She trails off, fighting the urge to use her pack filter. She can't go to them, not now...not when it could force them to choose sides between her and Lydia. She won't do that to any of them...not even Isaac.
So she just cuts the public feed.]
[PRIVATE; Duke Crocker]
Would you be willing to bunny sit for me? And inmate sit? Tig...he just can't be alone. He'll self destruct if he thinks he's alone. If the time thing goes wonky, I want to make sure he can turn to someone we both trust...and he'll trust you because I do.
[PRIVATE; Tig Trager]
I asked Duke to keep his door open for you while I'm gone. You can trust him.
I promise you'll barely know I'm gone, and I'm coming to collect a hug the second I get back. For as long as I want...so there. He's also watching Duchess, stop in to pet her at least once. She needs extra attention while I'm gone.
