Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday evening

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

After getting back to Fandom at long last, Jessica had a checklist of things to do. Her bounty hunter blaster was safely stored in the weapons locker. Her pajamas were hidden at the bottom of her hamper where hopefully the smell would be stifled until they could get washed. Her new clothes were also in the hamper, but were less terrifying, smell-wise. The chainmail shirt was hanging up until she figured out whether or not chainmail ever got washed. And most importantly, she showered. A lot.

But that was all done with. Now the most important thing was food. She ordered pizza and plenty of it for anyone who might be needing some regular food about now. And then, after turning the TV on to... well, whatever was on and could serve as reasonable background noise, she grabbed her tablet and started going through all of her SHIELD e-mail from the past week. And boy, was there a lot of SHIELD e-mail....

"I'm just doing my part to help my fellow man," Jessica said. "Sit. Eat. Relax."

[notconflicted]

"I can do two of those things," Sia said, taking a piece of pizza before sitting down. "Part of me still wonders if this isn't some fake room we walked into without realizing it."

"If whatever did this can make a room that gives me both plenty of pizza and a horrific backlog of e-mails, they're the most devious person who ever lived. Because those are on exact opposite ends of good and bad, and that would take talent," Jessica mused.

"It would be the false hope room," Sia said. "I've yet to check my messages. I'll have to explain this somehow when I do."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I don't buy that. False hope wouldn't involve this much e-mail," Jessica said. "I may not sleep for a couple days as I try to answer all of it. And I hadn't even thought about how to explain it. Crap."

[notconflicted]

"I can't help with the explanation," Sia said, "but I'm sure you will sleep. Probably when you least expect it, after this...week?"

She'd lost her sense of time, maybe.

"It seemed like about that long. I wish I had gotten a calendar in one of those suitcases," Jessica said. "It would have been a big help."

[notconflicted]

"I'm not sure it would have helped me," she admitted. "The first few days I was fine, and after that I couldn't tell whether I was tired because it was the end of the day or because I was fighting things and not eating and sleeping badly."

"You see, that's where being an Earth teenager with my hobbies actually comes in handy," Jessica said. "That actually sounds suspiciously like my life back home, only in a dungeon. So it wasn't too tough for me to adjust to that schedule."

[notconflicted]

"You may need to reevaluate how you spend your time," Sia said with a little smile. And don't mind her going for a second piece of pizza under the circumstances.

"You're right. I need to add more dungeons, just in case," Jessica decided.

[notconflicted]

"I will never visit you there," Sia said with a nod.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"They'll be nice dungeons. LED lighting, some nice artwork, actually gets cleaned a couple times each millennia...." Jessica said. "You'll be missing out."

[notconflicted]

"I might have to for a while," Sia said. "I'd like to live a dungeon-free lifestyle for at least a couple months."

Considering her next time in a dungeon wasn't going to be great, either, she should probably extend that statement.

"I guess that's fair," Jessica said. "But I'll Instagram some pictures so you can see how nice it is."

[notconflicted]

"I don't even know what that is," Sia said gratefully.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"It's a thing where you take pictures and make them worse before sharing them with everyone you know online," Jessica explained.

[notconflicted]

"...Yes, I'll definitely get that so you can show me dungeon pictures," Sia decided.

She was maybe a little grateful for Jessica after something like this week, because conversations like this could happen.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Conversations like this were the best way to cope!

"Just warning you, you will have to put up with me taking duckface pictures of myself wherever I go. It's the downside of the whole thing," Jessica said.

[notconflicted]

"...Duckface?"

Sia just had to stop asking questions.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"You'll know it when you see it," Jessica promised.
