[ It takes forty-eight hours for cell signals to return, and another twenty-four hours for Uswsuy to be in a state to be checking up on her people. Jasnah gets a quick, concise text — but the concern behind it is genuine. ]
[ Well, she was riddled with bullets and had her vehicle stolen — and then, a gate blew up in the general direction of her face. Fortunately, she's still pretty. Truly, MC Hammer said it best: can't touch this. ]
I'm okay. Thanks.
If you need running water, you can go to my apartment.
[ Important but not Urgent. Triage is doing its thing and has appropriately deprioritized her. She'd be more annoyed if she couldn't see the haphazard beauty in the emerging systems replacing all of those rendered useless by the blackout.
Fortunately, she's adept at getting things done one-handed. ]
[ Kimiko was riddled with bullets from a semi-automatic and then had her vehicle stolen while she was healing on the pavement, so. She's not a stranger to the fact that people are more desperate and more daring this week. But out of the two of them, only one looks like an easy target from a distance — and it isn't Jasnah. ]
[ She does have an air about her of being a bit more well-to-do than she actually is. Doesn't justify it. There will be no victim-blaming in this house. And so she refuses to change her behaviour simply because someone else decides to be an asshole. ]
Barely more than a petty mugging.
[ And the man had already been banged up from a previous altercation. Plus, she'd had a bit of help. All details Jasnah doesn't see fit to elaborate upon. ]
[ It does give her some pause. Jasnah isn't the most social creature — and in a crisis, she can imagine others might be just as tetchy as she feels on a given day. But, oh, a shower sounds so ideal right now.
[ — Oh. It's not every day someone tells Jasnah she might successfully get along with someone else. Then again, she's found her authentic self to be considerably more well-recieved here than back home. ]
A bold claim.
[ Wait. How does she reassure Kimiko that she means a bold claim in a kind of affectionate and fun way...? ]

Checking in.
Are you alright?
no subject
Still in one piece for the time being. Storming long lines at the hospital, however.
[ Damnation! What she'd give to be able to once again do what she knows Kimiko can do. ]
How are you faring?
[ Physically fine, she imagine. But otherwise? ]
no subject
I'm okay.
Thanks.

Why are you at the hospital? Are you hurt?

[ And can Kimiko break their wrist in return?

Even if Jasnah tripped over a fire hydrant, Kimiko is prepared to go fight the fire hydrant. ]

[ She's ordinarily in shardplate when engaging in petty violence. Quite a different experience. ]
But I appreciate your concern.

You mentioned your place has running water—?
no subject
[ She doesn't love that Jasnah was mugged, but it doesn't seem like more information is forthcoming. Better to focus on how she can help. ]
No hot water.
But you can go there if you need to stock up or wash your face.
[ Or if you're metal enough to withstand a cold shower. ]
no subject
Are you there? Is anyone else?
[ What can I expect? ]
no subject
Lucy - Long hair. She'll offer you cereal.
Furiosa - Short hair. She might threaten to shoot you but she won't actually do it.
[ This is followed by an address, quick instructions how to buzz in, where the spare key is kept.
(And Jasnah is absolutely metal as fuck, okay.) ]

She asks: ]
You're quite certain?
[ About the she won't actually do it of it all. ]
no subject
[ So, yes. Quite sure. ]

You two would probably get along.
[ Not Kimiko matchmaking for her roommate who is in a relationship? — look, a girl needs to have her options open. ]

A bold claim.
[ Wait. How does she reassure Kimiko that she means a bold claim in a kind of affectionate and fun way...? ]
:)
[ Damnation has frozen over. ]
