There and back again...

Who: Artemis and any close CR getting involved in the crazy train. Eventually Princess Tutu!
What: An intervention
When: Sunday
Where: CH5 Floor 4, primarily. Occasionally various encounters around town
Summary: Something's different about Artemis and her friends are starting to worry about her. But something's up that's not for them to fix.
Rating: PG-ish? Maybe PG-13 at the most.


[Action: Sunday, June 16]
[Artemis arrives back in Luceti Sunday morning looking tired and dirty and even more evasive and wary than when she'd left for the mission over a week before. Anyone intercepting her on the way home or at home is likely to get brushed off as quickly as possible as she locks herself in for a hot shower and several straight hours of uninterrupted sleep.

But even after some rest, Artemis is suspicious, defensive and decidedly close-lipped about what is obviously wrong. Even if she's not entirely sure what that might be herself. And if confronted enough times... for once, Artemis's first instinct is going to be flee rather than fight. At least at first...]

Wow, really? I'm pretty sure no one in the League even uses a gun, and definitely no one on the Team. [That could definitely be something to look into. But that only covers her last mission, and Zatanna shakes her head.] But it isn't just about her going on one mission. That was her second one almost back to back, and she barely said a word to me before either of them.

It's not like her.
systemshock: (Confused)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-06-23 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. I mean, she barely said anything to me when I caught her coming back before. She wouldn't even take one of my sandwiches. Who doesn't like ham?

[Or was it turkey? It was a sandwich. That's all that matters.]
noitatnacni: (so what can i do?)

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-06-25 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Vegetarians? [Which Artemis is not, but hey, he asked.]

But yeah, that's it exactly. It was like she couldn't get out of here fast enough. Maybe it'd make sense if she were going home or something, but just out on a mission? No way.

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-06-25 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I just thought maybe she didn't like me. [Which, okay, it's still a possibility. But maybe he should have asked about this sooner.]
noitatnacni: (what you're saying is...)

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-06-29 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
That'd be news to me. Why wouldn't she like you? Did something happen?
systemshock: (Nervous chuckle)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-06-29 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know why she wouldn't. I mean, people usually like me?

[He's not trying to brag or anything, he's just generally felt like he was pretty likable.]

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-07-04 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Although if you did something really dumb, I guess she wouldn't have told me--not with how she's been.

[There's always a possibility something could've been really wrong with that ham sandwich.]

But I really think it's more about whatever's going on with her than you.
systemshock: (Back there)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-05 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
... uh, yeah. That's probably a better theory. So do you have any ideas what's eating at her?
noitatnacni: (worried)

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-07-05 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
No. That’s why I’m asking people what she might have said. Even if no one’s heard enough to figure it out on their own, maybe all together it’ll make sense.
systemshock: (Back there)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-06 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure you'd want me there? I mean, I'm all about moral support, but it's not exactly like I know any of you that well.

But you're part of the team, right? [And that's good enough for Zatanna.] I mean, if you're not comfortable then it's okay. But being accepted by her teammates--that's really important to Artemis.
systemshock: (We are not amused)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-07 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Part of the team. Well. Guess that makes it official.]

Yeah. Okay, I'll be there.
noitatnacni: (paying attention)

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-07-08 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. Thanks, Static. [Zatanna sighs softly, taking a look around.]

Okay. I probably should make sure she's still in our apartment. I'll send you a message soon and let you know what's going on, okay?
systemshock: (Stubborn)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-09 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.] I'll be waiting.
