[Welcome to what is clearly an accidental broadcast. The view is moving nauseatingly down a hallway, through a door, then through what is probably an apartment, though the camera just shows it from the waist down, all lower cabinets and tabletops. The person walks past a large mirror then stops- it's Mary, looking upset.

She peers closely at her reflection, fussing with her hair and poking at her red eyes in dismay, muttering something.]

Ugh, I look awful- [A few more seconds of poking her red eyes, and she moves on.

Into a bedroom next, where a closet mirror opposite the door shows the whole scene unfold: Mary closes the door behind her, sinks down against it for a second with her eyes closed, and mutters something to herself. Everything about her is utterly exhausted. Then she opens her eyes and- and sees something on the bed that makes her eyes widen. She gets closer and picks up what appears to be a small ring box, examining it with a wide-eyed look. It's clearly very important to her.

Her eyes flicker over to the bracelet suddenly.]

Oh, crap- [Aaaaand that would be her turning it off! The text comes up about five minutes later.]

Sorry about that. I didn't know it was doing that.

Does anyone know what's going on today? Or why things and people from home are showing up? Maybe there's a pattern in what kind of things showed up. What I got was something important to me- did that happen to everyone?

[ADDED IN AN HOUR OR SO LATER]

Everyone in our apartment: there's leftover chili in the fridge and everything on the third pantry shelf has instructions. See you in a few days. Please don't starve.

[Replies will be coming at least an hour later IC-ly. She's tired and sad. And no, she does not know how to filter to more than one person. It's hard and she's from the 70's, okay.]

[Jimmy found his family photo album only hours before Mary showed at his door step. He'd been meaning to go to Claire and share it with her, maybe hand it to her because it hurt too much to look at but wound up leaving it on the table in the center of his room to answer the door.]

[minifridge]

[Mary does the entire distance from Thor to Sigyn at a flat-out run, making it in less than half the time. It's good: the rush, the speed and blood pumping. It gives her nothing else to think about or focus on than her feet hitting the stones, and the beating of her own heart.

Sigyn. The familiar welcome hall isn't exactly a sight for sore eyes, but she does pause for a moment on the landing a few flights up the stairs. It's the spot where she and Merlin once stood, the day she cried on him and told him everything. Christ, it wasn't even that long ago.

As much as Mary steels herself to knock on the door, something about standing there when Jimmy answers, holding the ring box tightly in her hand like a life-line and trying not to cry, makes her feel very young.]

Hi. You said- your door was open.

[After knocking on her door, waiting for some time, and realising Mary's not in there, he gives her a call instead.]

You got something from home, too? [Pause.] Where'd you go?

[text]

[minifridge]

Yes.

Somewhere else. I need quiet

My horse came from home. It looks like it may be a theme.

[minifridge]

Dean got a car. Mine was something different.

how important to you is your horse

i'm trying to figure out if there's an emotional theme in common or just that it's something important.

I got a costume from one of my performances...it was important to me too.

[permatext]

[minifridge]

That sounds nice. What kind of costume?

[ ... Between this and that night in the kitchen, Arthur is beginning to worry a bit. ]

Skipping town, are we?

[ text/private ]

[minifridge]

Yep. It's too crowded right now.

[timesnewroman]

Hullo, Mary. Are you alright? [Concern! He has it.]

Oh, and I was given my wife's scarf. [It's bright red and twisted tightly around his hand and he's not likely to be letting it go any time soon. And he's honestly glad it wasn't her ring. He saved up months of paychecks to get that for her, only to keep it from her for ages out of fear she'd lose it. Amy's really earned that ring by this point after putting up with all of that.] It wasn't important to me before now.

[She'll do video for you, Rory! The first one yet. She looks terrible, and like she's been crying recently (but not too recently). Rory doesn't look amazing, either- but that's more about what she can see in his eyes than anything outwardly evident. The tension, the scarf- such a simple thing, but twisted so tight that it takes on meaning the longer Mary looks at it.]

It's beautiful.

[That's not what she meant to say at all.]

I'm... okay. [Hah.] You didn't get attacked today?

[veneficus]

Mary, what is troubling you? Has something happened?

[minifridge]

Just saw someone get stabbed by a hallucination of his father. No big deal.

[Sam does not respond to this until several hours later, but when he does:]

Have you ever read Julius Caeser?

[Text]

[minifridge]

No.

But I knew what he said was from Shakespeare, I just couldn't remember.

Someone on the network said it was from Julius Caesar and was a warning about Caesar getting betrayed and killed that day, but I didn't think it would be this literal.

[clockeyes]

Mary?

[His tone is soft and very concerned. Gosh, Mary, why you worry your angel friend like this, he doesn't like it.]

...Come home soon. If you need anything, well, I'm here, alright?

[text/private]

[minifridge]

Don't worry about me, Cheriour. I'm taking care of myself. I really need space and some quiet, and someone from my world told me last week that if I ever needed it, his door is open.

I found myself with a rose which has not yet bloomed. I don't know if it is the same as what you are asking after. A flower here is mostly unusual for being in an unexpected place.

Are you safe, where-ever you have gone?

text;

[minifridge]

It's just a rose? There's nothing different or sentimental about it?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just in the Sigyn welcome hall, it's not like I went to Havana.

[If Mary's reaction is anything to go by, it's not hard to guess what the ring signifies. He isn't sure if he should contact her or not, but when another text appears on the network an hour later, he decides to check up on her.]

My door's open if you need anything.

[text | private]

[minifridge]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Did you get anything?
