[She isn't showing her face over the network, but still, Fortescue's voice sounds almost as bad as her numerous injuries. It wobbles every so often, from the abuse it's taken, and she can't even drum up the emotion to be angry about her lack of control over it. It is what is is.]
Hello, Science Center. Miss me? [Fortescue holds the phone away from her face, for a moment, to cough. She might sound dry, but she really is grateful to be back. Very grateful.] Had this place let me remember, I would have been able to return the favor.
...I don't want to inconvenience anyone, but I'm not... especially mobile, and the canteen is quite a distance from my room. If anyone feels like being generous, I wouldn't mind a snack. [Or maybe more than a snack, but she doesn't feel worthy enough, anymore, to ask for more than that. What is she, aside from a person who failed in her most basic duties as a sister?
She almost asks for alcohol, too, just for the hell of it, but she doesn't. She cuts the feed after a quick,]
Thank you.

Thank you.

That is a shame. I was imagining blokes in those big hats, wielding saws or hammers. [Though there's probably been a music video about that.] Who's to say we won't get any elves around here, though?
no subject
[ Especially the angels... ]
no subject
It's really a pity most are so irritated by it, isn't it?
no subject
Did I mention the hot angels though?
no subject
You did, love. Wish we had them where I'm from. Back home it's all a bunch of religious nonsense. [Not nearly as fun.
Then, she smirks, remembering what Donna had said during their tunnel walk. That seems an age ago, but it comes back easily enough.]
Wouldn't happen to be thinking of a certain angel, would we?
no subject
[ Is that a blush? Yes it is. Darn pale skin. She gives a huff of mock annoyance to try and hide it. ]
Pft. As if. I like to keep my options open...
Okay... maybe it is a certain angel...

So what do you find appealing? Barring certain people who've already been mentioned.

[ And he tried to feed her to a giant spider. Kind of ruins the romance. ]
I'll tell you who does have fantastic hair - Cas. I mean, he has really nice hair.
no subject
He does, it's true. You think he does anything to it? [Jokingly. Because the thought of Castiel doing his hair on purpose, scooping hair gel in, is amusing. Probably his vessel just has good genetics.] Poor Cas is the one who found me yesterday, half out of my mind...
no subject
[ Donna! Stop swooning over angels! Jeez. ]
no subject
[It's new to Fortescue. Usually people don't rescue her. Even working with her little team, she was the one who went in first and got out last. If someone ran into a jam, it was her job to get them out of it. Unless otherwise occupied.
She shakes her head slightly.]
Literally swooping, since I hallucinated that he was a giant black stork. Fixed my leg up, though. No stork could have done that.
no subject
He didn't bring you a baby, right?
no subject
[Fortescue tries to keep her tone from dipping downward. If she can't even keep a promise to protect her little sister, she'll never be fit as a parent. Not that she ever wanted that, anyway...]
It was magic deprivation. Comes with all sorts of nasty side effects. Most of the worst ones have gone now.
[Most. Not all. Her bruises will keep returning until she's fully healed, and she'll have nightmares that could scare anyone. Among other pains. But she tries not to think about that.]
Do you think Castiel would know what to do with a baby?
no subject
Just because.
Sometimes a hug is all someone needs. ]
You know what? I bet he'd surprise us all...
no subject
There's only one person who'd hug her now, back home, and she'll never see him again. She's sure of that. Hugs here in the Center make her feel far less alone. Here, she has people who care about her. It makes her next comment stick in her throat, as she feels it tighten. Then she takes a deep breath and continues.]
Perhaps. It would certainly be surprising.
no subject
She releases the hug after a long moment, and sinks back down onto her butt. ]
Maybe we should get him to give out bunnies instead...
no subject
There could be test bunnies, somewhere around here. Never know.
no subject
But would they turn into killer monsters like his sabre-tooth tiger did? I don't want my throat ripping out by killer bunnies. Do you?
