[Open spam in the chapel, since the kid flood, whenever.]

[When he isn't on shift at the infirmary, or trailing after Abigail like a concerned ginger puppy, Dillon is spending a lot of time in the chapel. Just - sitting, in the very front pew or the very back, wishing for saints and stained glass and stone, for something gaudy and familiar, the smell of sand and wood polish. But the chapel resists his homesickness, neat white plaster, well kept, effusively inoffensive. He tries kneeling, a couple times. But it doesn't feel right, and neither does prayer. So he sits, quiet, eyes forward on the Unitarian nondenominational emptiness, for an hour or two, watches the shadows from the little candles, tries to think about his mistakes, about his options, about nothing at all.]


[Private to Arthas]

I want to see you. Anywhere you'd rather meet?


[Spam for Jerry, backdated to after Allison's post, early the next morning on the tenth.]

[He's just sitting in the hallway, across from Jerry's door. He's not impatient. He's not even angry, really, just calm and steady. He was sloppy, he was absorbed with his own messes. But he made a promise. Allison's rambling plea for understanding as revenge didn't change that. Jerry made his choice, and now he has to face the consequences.]


[Private to Arkin, backdated to after the above]

I've turned Jerry human. I promised him he would, if he hurt anyone else outside self-defense, before you were assigned to him.


[Filtered to Abigail, Scott, Chris, Bucky, Gene, Helena, and Iris, backdated to after the above]

I turned Jerry human, and now he's threatening to leave my friends' corpses at my door like the worst cat in the world.

[He doesn't sound scared. He doesn't even sound mad. He is irritated, and a little disgusted. It was one thing with Okoya and Carter - there were actual stakes there. This is just Jerry being petulant.]

All of you could probably take him in a fair fight, but he's sneaky and mean, so keep an eye out, and kick him in the balls for me if he tries anything.

[Spam, chapel]

[He tumbles from the churchyard, muddy and raucous with the confused shouts of too many corpses raised still in their coffins, to the Barge's chapel, the closes equivalent whatever force brought him back could find. Make them go away, he pleaded and pleaded, hands clapped to his ears, and as earth and headstones turned into polished wood and plain pews, he sobbed softly in relief. He crawled into one of the pews, half-kneeling, half-slumped against the pew in front of him. He didn't pray. He just - shook, and gulped down air, and tried to come back to himself.]


[Public, video]

[Dillon looks a bit different. Very thin white scars spiderweb across his cheek and nose, like cracks in glass, pulling the skin just a little more taut, giving him a tiny lopsided quirk to his mouth. His hair and clothes are impeccably neat, as always, but his eyes look tired.]

...hey. I'm back. Glad I didn't miss whatever's coming.

[Humorlessly. He would be glad, if he weren't so worried about home right now, anyway. He'd want to be here. He does want to be here, if only so he doesn't have to be back there. He's just not in the mood to be happy about anything, is the point.]

I'll be in the infirmary, I guess. Sorry about missing my shifts, Doc.


[Private, Elsa]

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go.


[Private to Abigail]

The thing I remembered in the future still hasn't happened yet.

[Just so she knows.]
