june 15th | early morning | video

[ Today, the view of Re-l is a little different. For one, she isn't in the dark washed rooms of either her apartment or her office, instead bathing in a pale white robe, in a room set to match. Notably missing is the blue eye shadow or any semblance of her usual hairstyle - and unless people now counted IV lines as accessories, it's pretty safe to assume that she's currently situated in the clinic.

And maybe rightfully so - just check out those dark circles - ]

As a general PSA - let me state from a very early point in this video that exhaustion is not, exactly, a theme park ride. Falling out in one's kitchen with a full cup of coffee means a scalded leg and a very rude awakening for your roommates.

I will not be out and about or doing any work for the next few days. Doctor's and - [ and grumbled ] - Vincent's orders.

I don't know how long I will be in the clinic, (presumably long enough to got a bag or two of IV fluids and nutrients in) but I will attempt to at least redirect any work or.. other things to the proper channels while I can. Apparently it isn't too far to be sedated in order to make sure that I stay where I am or that I, at least, cannot see straight enough to do any real work.

[ She pauses to sigh and take a drink of what looks like one of those smoothie drinks she's often caught with, sighing. ] Daedalus would have an absolute fit if he saw me right now.

Maybe my grandfather's mandatory vacations weren't such a bad thing - does anyone know how to get coffee out of a rug?

Apparently this morning was quite the episode, in my apartment. I'm being advised that I should do nothing but sitting and resting for the next week, if possible, but I'd like to shorten it to four days, if I can. The work and cases that I have currently can either be turned over or put on hold until then - tell me which you'd prefer that I do.

I wouldn't be surprised if my communicator was commandeered, so... try not to be surprised if Vincent answers, instead of me.

[While he'd expected injuries among those that attended the previous day's operation, Re-L's situation was certainly a different case]

I'm sure Vincent can cover your shift for you, and all that's left for intelligence is under review I believe so everything should be well enough in order. Take the time you need to recover, Re-L.

At least it will get him out of this room for more than two minutes at a time. [ She sighs, bemused and yet irritated at Vincent's insistence that she stay in bed and do absolutely nothing other than drink her smoothie and relax. Which seemed appealing for all of three minutes, but she was already growing bored and quite frankly tired of the situation itself.

Apparently it was a possibility to over work herself.

Lesson learned, at least? ]

I don't know how much time I can spend watching television or sleeping without losing my mind, to be honest.

[He's amused because it's cute in a way; something Lee would do, but he knows better than to mention it]

Ah. There's not much for that unfortunately, unless you enjoy paperwork.

[But let's be serious- no one enjoys paperwork]

Edited 2013-07-17 10:38 (UTC)

Actually, I think I'd rather watch mind numbing television. Plus, I think Vincent would take away what paper work you did manage to get to me. I've been banned from doing any work.

[ Though that look on her face says she'll see about that. ]

[Welp that's between them]

Can't say I blame you. Take care until you've recovered.

I will. I dug myself in to this clinic bed, I guess, so I ought to take the time while it's been forced on me, right?

I suppose that's the way it is.

Mmn. Regardless, if there's anything I can do in the next few days to assist you from either here or my apartment, don't hesitate to tell me. I'm sure I'll be able to get away with at least a few little things, if I try.

I will be sure to do so, thank you. Recover well in the meantime.

Will do. I'll be back before you know it. At least to the gala.

[Trrrrying this again with audio, since he can't see his keys and that is ultimately an unpromising course of action.]

I trust that this was due to overwork, and not the cleaners keeping you awake?

[Because he might feel bad if it was the case. It's bad enough that the Watch is shorthanded as it is.]

What in the hell was that text message? [ First things first, L, she wants to know what the hell is going on with all of that. ]

Yes, I've been over working. Though, Vincent had mentioned that there were cleaners there pretty constantly, in your apartment. And a smell. Which probably means I'll be staying in the clinic for longer to get some proper rest.

What the hell is going on with that?

The text message was nothing. I apologize; I believe my keyboard must be broken. It is best to stick with audio until I can get it looked at.

[He wants to keep this as quiet as he can, but Re-L lives so nearby that it seems only fair to tell her what the hell happened, at least in part.]

A crazy person broke in and left two human bodies in the bed. BREW returned him home, though, so... please don't speak too freely about it.

What?! [ It was one thing to have to deal with Light and L as neighbors, considering their strange little... tiffs between each other, but to hear that someone had left two bodies to apparently decompose in the bed right next door to her?

Really, the Erinyes apparently were not the worst things to worry about in this town. There's a small sound of someone scuttling around on her end, presumably Vincent, and a muffled huffy conversation from there before she returns, at least somewhat more.. put together. ]

And when the hell, exactly, would it have been pertinent to tell your neighbors?

[He admits that he expected someone as levelheaded as Re-L to take that a little more... calmly? Well? Then again, she's being treated for exhaustion.]

I didn't want to cause any unnecessary panic. I hate to think of the kind of shape you'd be in now if you were fretting about this when it happened a few days ago. You're a wreck as it is...

[ If it hadn't involved dead bodies in the apartment next door, and the knowledge that the person who moved said bodies in had probably walked by her door... sure, she would have been calm. But at the moment, she isn't really in the best state in the first place, and added that the occasional smell that she had attributed to perhaps trash in the heat somewhere, or something, was decomposition.... ]

Oh shut up. Bringing in my condition at the moment has nothing to do with the fact there is a cleaning crew getting rid of.. decomposed people next door to my apartment, right now.

They're still there cleaning? I found the bodies three days ago.

I suppose it made a pretty big mess, though, now that I think of it.

Isn't it ironic? We moved there to be surrounded by luxury and exquisite things and we are both in positions where we find ourselves needing to be away.

Last I heard. But then again I've been working nearly constantly lately, so it's highly possible I haven't been to the apartment and they've gone since I was last there. I spent my first night back at the apartment last night and then this happened... [ Though, she doesn't want to hear or think of that mess, rubbing at her temples as if she's trying to erase the memory from her mind and not think about it. This entire episode was not making it easy to lay back and relax, or think of very much sleep. ]

I'm going to need to be away for longer if you keep telling me things about decaying bodies..

Would you prefer if I had said nothing? I thought it might be the case.

While I'm in the clinic for exhaustion is most likely not the best time, to tell me things like that... [ But, then again, she was pretty assured that had she been told even in full health it might have taken her by surprise. Not quite as bad as this, though. ]

But I suppose now is better than never.
