Dare I suggest this is just a glimpse at your future? You *are* teaching the future generation of robot creators. I think you have the unfair advantage. :)
[ She's leaning forward against the rim of her tub, night gown on for the night and ready to get to bed. She's kept her robe on, securing it tightly around her. She'll say she's cold if Bigby asks questions — above all else, this kind of secret weighs on her guilt but it's ... she doesn't have an answer. Elizabeth scrolls through Jack's flurry of text messages, cracking a laugh at out outlandish it was.
Laughing when she's confused on what was going on — what a hoot. ]
Yes.
[ That's all she wants to send, but she doesn't. Think of this as a practice run — an attempt to make her sound less insane. ]
...I woke up with a mark on my body. A friend who is a medical examiner attributes it similarly to a spinal tap. I have no recollection on when this occurred but. It's almost healed, as if months of my life are gone.
what the fuck are you alright??? jesus christ go to the hospital what if i mean it could be infected or just and this came out of NOWHERE? do you need a ride or something i can does bigby know?
[ Considering his and Ardyn's recent revelations, if she means what he thinks she does, this could potentially be Bad. ]
yknow i hate to do this to the guy but its probably better you dont, at least for now hes gonna be pissed if you wait but theres gotta be a way to tell him without him freaking out like hes totally going to look i know its none of my business so you can cut me off whenever but seriously, are you alright?
Bigby's the kind of guy that wants answers. I have none to give, so I can't... bring this to him like this.
Alright, physically. But this isn't waking up with a bad tattoo — or bruise from something you vaguely remember... Grell doesn't even know what this is. It's too high for a spinal tap.
yeah hed just freak out and then probably wrap you in bubble wrap or smth but alright lets think of this as logically as i can after five in the afternoon whats a bigass needle in your spine that high up going to do? obviously it didnt paralyze you but there had to be some kinda purpose to it right i mean if youre gonna torture people theres way better ways to do it
yeah about those i kinda left out some parts of the last thing i remembered i mean the people were fighting the robots and all but i remember them coming to the front of the train i was off in my mansion somewhere so i just used the intercom but i told them " welcome to Pandora, kiddos " and then i blew up the train jesus what the hell is happening to us liz
I can take care of myself, however. He knows that.
[ Especially since she almost shot Yato? I mean, not a good judge of badassery, but it counts. ]
I've been looking things up but nothing.. fits the bill. This was more of a impaling procedure (please don't make a joke) with no incision cuts. One...big plug.
[ And she sits there when he starts about his memories. They aren't nearly as whimsical as fighting robots, it gets sinister. That tone and the mention of people fighting robots makes her uneasy, as if she knew of it before — man and machine were all too the same at times.
That thought wanders, but she keeps it in the back of her mind. ]
[ There's a notable delay between her text and his reply. ]
ardyns been remembering shit too weve got this thing where were telling each other whenever we remember something new so we can compare notes look im not gonna tell him about your thing because thatd be pretty dickish of me but if you want to chat up somebody with a logical lawyer type headspace might wanna hit him up
you know me and him weve been calling these things memories because they feel that real so what are you gonna do if you remember why you had that needle in your back?
Washington. Lincoln. Clunking around with robotic voices and a gatling gun. I'm giving you a run for your money now unless you tell me that's exactly what your fighting robots were.
i mean mine had gatling guns and rockets and all that cool killer robot stuff but they werent PRESIDENTIAL killer robots did lincoln give the gettysburg address while he was shooting at you WAS he shooting at you?? omg
[ Why does she feel like this is definitely a thing. The worry of her scar fades away since it's not really an active pain. It's just... there. Oddly appearing, but nothing that causes her too much focus. ]
Yes to both. The speech and the shooting.
[ Oh my god, she was shot at by Lincoln??? :/ ]
What the hell does this all mean? Jade — something is happening to her too. I need to start finding out answers.

I'm a scientist, not a doctor.
It's apparently nearly healed, not sure what nerve damage persists but... I'm fine.
Fine-ish, I guess.
[ Is she, tho? ]
No. I don't know what he would think — Jesus, I don't know what to think. I don't want to frighten him.
