Can I eat meals in my room?

[ Steph has previously been quiet, keeping to herself and more or less living on snacks. (More, honestly). She’s done it before. But even with her appetite not quite up to snuff, after a few days candy and chips just start to make her feel worse. So here she is, speaking into the device she’s only really skimmed through with very little ceremony to precede it. ]

I mean, obviously I can eat in my room. But is anybody going to hunt me down or whatever looking for missing trays?

[ That’s the only thing that’s stopped her – the idea of someone banging on her door demanding used cutlery. She wants her privacy. Her voice is utterly flippant, making this out to be much less of a big deal than it really is to her. ]

I swear I’m not hoarding silverware or anything crazy like that. I’ll give it all back, I just don’t want to eat in the hall. Not that you aren't all just great company. [ The sarcasm, it is scathing. ] It’s too noisy. Gives me headaches. [ It doesn’t, but that’s a better explanation than ‘I don’t want to be around other people more than absolutely necessary.’ ]

[ Steph smiles a touch sadly at the camera, though there's a great amount of relief in her face for those who care to look for it. She's been here for a long time, made a lot of friends, and supposedly helped a lot of people, but it's worn on her something awful. ]

So, Kon and I have talked it over [ she should really start calling him Caleb, but she's so good with secret IDs she isn't really worried ] and I'm headed home. In about... two hours. It wouldn't be fair to stay, anyway. I couldn't promise my next inmate I'd be there until they graduated.

[ She shrugs, like this isn't something she had worried over for months. ]

I can't really say it's been fun, but I've met a lot of great people here and seen a lot of not-so-great people make incredible changes in their lives. I wish you all the best of luck.

I've got some... letters for a few of you. And if anyone gets home to find a wedding invitation in their mailbox, don't be too surprised. We'll find a way to get you there. I'll be in touch.

[ooc | Warden friends of Steph's and Kon's will get a hand-made invitation suggesting they ask the Admiral to let them attend the wedding while also assuring them that the couple understands if they feel that they can't. Inmate friends may find invitations back home. The following people get invitations as well as a drawing of Steph and the recipient hanging out or doing something silly: Lua, Doyle, Selina, Aya, Babs, Cass, Claire, Chris, Megamind, and Dean. This exchange can be played out or she can slip it under their doors. ]

[ Steph's voice is tired and a touch less cheery than usual. Yours would be too if you woke up to find your fiance in a coma. It's been a stressful morning. ]

Kon's fallen into a coma. I've got him here in our room and I'm keeping him here, since he won't need any kind of medical treatment anyway. [ He doesn't have to eat, so there's a plus. ]

If you need anything from him that I might be able to get for you, let me know.

[ Private to Cassel ]

That goes doubly for you. You need anything, anything at all, just ask.

Hey! Kon and I are back from our trip.

[ And from the bounce to her step and the light in her face, it did everything she needed it to and more. Steph is completely refreshed and ready to face the world. ]

I know we didn’t make a ton of noise about leaving, but here we are! [ They told the people who really mattered, and anyone else could have found out if they asked. ] What’d we miss?

[ Warden Filter ]

And did we decide what to do about Toshiko?

[ Private to Friends ]

We brought presents! Mostly really cheap presents, but Paris is expensive.

[ Private to K ]

Hey. I have an idea and I need your help.

I don't suppose anybody knows what the lights thing was about? [ Steph doesn't look too hopeful. Unless something exploded in the last hour or so, probably everyone else knows about as much as she does. She sighs, then gets back to her previously scheduled message. ]

I'm sure everyone this applies to already knows, but some of you have pretty cool significant others. To those of you who don't? [ She winces sympathetically. ] Sorry. I hope nobody's plans were too screwed up by it.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone was up for another pool party. I'm unseasonably restless and I think pretending it's summer is exactly what would do the trick. Inmates invited too! Provided you aren't on murder watch or anything.

[ Private to Megamind ]

Still alive?
