[Abigail died in the deserted plot and has just been revived.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Is anyone out there? It's dark out. I can't see anyone. Please tell me I didn't go through all that just to be alone again.

[There's a moment of Abigail crying.]

I was dead. Am I still dead, is that what this is?

[Being alone feels like hell to her.]

[unphase]

Good. Worry's not going to help anything.

[and less than five minutes later, Tinya enters wearing her Legion costume and completely dry as she'd phased to keep the rain from hitting her]

Hi. I'm sorry, I didn't get your name. Mine's Tinya.

[am_i_a_monster]

I'm Abigail. Thanks for coming, Tinya.

[Abigail takes in her appearance.]

I thought you'd be soaked.

[unphase]

It's nice to meet you, Abigail. And it's no problem. I've been flying back and forth between the islands to make sure no one tries going out in a boat in this storm.

[she is completely dry]

I phased so the rain went through me.

action

[am_i_a_monster]

On boats? I hope they wouldn't try that.  Did you happen to see Will, Will Graham when you were out there?

You phased?  That sounds cool.   Can you let other things go right through you too?

action

[unphase]

So do I, but I figured it would be smart to check anyway. And I don't know, I've never met him.

Mm-hmm. Physical attacks, weapons fire, I can't be touched unless I want to be.

[Abigail thinks of all the times that would have been a miracle in her life, especially if she could have avoided her father's knife.]

That must be amazing.

[and then she flashes back to the moment in the clearing, Jo's arms around her, and then pain]

Yeah, it's--pretty useful.

action

[am_i_a_monster]

You could live through anything. No one could hurt you.

action

[unphase]

[she's not so sure about that, but she forces a smile]

No. Not unless I let them.

action

[am_i_a_monster]

Oh..Yeah, that's true.

[She can't help thinking about how she died.]

It sucks how easy it can be to let people hurt us.

action

[unphase]

[her voice sounds a bit distant, like she's lost in thought]

Yes. It really does.

[but she's not going down that path. not now]

Where is it that you need to go?

Re: action

[am_i_a_monster]

To my apartment.  It's in spire four.    [She pauses.]     Do you want to talk about it?

action

[unphase]

[she blinks in mild confusion, then puts on a smile]

I can take you there. And I'm fine, really.

Re: action

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail nods.

So how do we do this? Just go outside and you start flying?

action

[unphase]

[she nods]

It would probably be easiest if you hung onto my back with your arms around my waist.
