No, I don't think I spoke to her even once.

[He wishes he had now, he wishes he had known her and who to contact when they found her body.]

I guess we just never crossed paths.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

[A beat, then:]

Have a good day, Alphonse.

[armoured]

[He snorts, dry and humourless. Yes, have a good day after Batman clonked him over the head and left him behind. He's not so ungracious as to say that, though.]

Thanks. Good luck in finding them, if you do-- would you let me know, please?

[devoutish]

Planning to track them down yourself?

[armoured]

Yeah.

[For some reason, he doesn't think Alfie is going to be one of the people trying to persuade him not to.]

So will you tell me if you find them?

SHIT I MISSED THIS ONE I'm sorry

[devoutish]

I will. Share and share alike.

@quark; voice; Night 166

[averytinyparticle]

Hi, Mister. Sorry if this is a bad time or I'm bothering you...um...

[This isn't an easy subject, and Quark isn't sure it's really his place to say anything. But it's been on his mind since the obituary...and all the things that followed it...and...a lack of seeing her name come back up again.]

I just wanted to say that...I hope you're doing okay. I know you and Miss Fiona were important to each other.

@ASolomons; audio

[devoutish]

Mm. Yeah.

[Oh, Quark. He's a sweet kid.]

Yeah, she liked you very much. You know that?

[averytinyparticle]

No...

[Quark hesitates.]

I mean, I hoped she did. I really liked hanging out with her, and practicing how to be a con artist.

[So that isn't exactly what they were doing. But it was fun anyway. He's not a kid that would really go around stealing, but he figures it's a useful skill to have. You never know what you might need to know.]

I'm not so good at knowing where I stand with people.

[This can probably be blamed on his "friendship" with House.]

[devoutish]

When you came back to life in that chapel, she was determined to reach you. She wouldn't hear of anything else.

[Not that any of the rest of them had been against the idea of going to rescue him from yet another death, of course.]

[averytinyparticle]

I'd do the same for her if I had the chance.

[And maybe they still would. Al and Clayton and that lady he never talked to came back after really long periods where they were dead...so maybe the same would happen for Fiona. They have no way of knowing. That makes it so much harder.]

[devoutish]

So would I.

[Offscreen, his fingers stray over to the empty place on his wrist where his missing bracelet should be.]

Yeah, so would I.

[averytinyparticle]

[Quark decides against assurances that maybe she'll come back. It seems something akin to pouring salt into a wound.]

I hope we don't lose anyone else.

[devoutish]

We will here. There's no stopping that.

[averytinyparticle]

I know. It's bullshit, though.

[It is. It is!!]

Sometimes it's like it doesn't matter how careful we are.

[devoutish]

I fell on a piece of wood, climbing up the slippery stairs. And that was it; that was the end of me, until I revived.

[So basically, he agrees.]

It is very much bullshit.

What about you? Are you gonna continue being a thief?

[averytinyparticle]

Hmm...I don't really know. Only if I have a reason, I guess.

[He doesn't want to piss too many people off with "practice" thievery.]

She was the best teacher.

[devoutish]

I believe it. I do.

[He clears his throat.]

Good with jokes too, wasn't she.

[averytinyparticle]

Yeah. Really funny.

[Even considering what they're talking about, he feels a smile tug onto his face. She made him laugh a lot, no matter how sad he was feeling. They both did. He chuckles to himself, and wipes some wetness away from his eyes. There's silence, and then his voice becomes more grave.]

And you're going to make the Joker pay, aren't you?

[He read the Network post. Or most of it, anyway. He isn't sure what Alfie's plan is...but he hopes whatever it is, the Joker gets double what he has coming.]

haha don't even worry about it

[armoured]

Thanks.

[No point dragging this out when they both have a Batman to track down.]

Goodbye, Mr. Solomons.

[devoutish]

No. The Joker's not somebody that can be punished. That man doesn't care about anything.

[It's said with regret, because he'd like to punish the Joker. But as far as Alfie is concerned, the only thing that can be done with men like that is to take them out, and he can't even do that.]

[John orders the tablet to type as voice-to-text. He's not sure he's going to be able to get through this conversation without his voice breaking, but it needs to happen now that he's 'safely' in the clinic with Kid and Stein.]

Alfie, I was-

The anomaly. There was an anomaly that got me. It-it was Fiona. I dunno how, but it was her. She was... her body was all broken. I'm sorry. I-

I'm so sorry.

[He has no idea what he's apologizing for, but it seems like something that should be relayed with an apology.]

@ASolomons; text

[devoutish]

Likely a hallucination, like underground.

[But wow, that's still incredibly upsetting, and telling himself it isn't real isn't actually helping all that much. Fiona is still dead, and she was still beaten to death by a man that Alfie can't kill.]

[jumpthegun]

[An hallucination. Right. He can still see her staring into his eyes, dead-on. Very dead-on. It's a long moment for his reply as John squeezes his eyes shut. He has to think of Alfie here, of how frightening this must be for him, as well. What this might mean if it wasn't just an hallucination.]

Probably. Yeah. Just... just thought you should know. I'm all healed up, even my ear. Heading down to the hospital. Sherlock said he wanted to see people as soon as possible after they die and come back.

[devoutish]

All right.

[Sorry, Watson. Normally he'd have a lot more to say.]
