01 Β» (ship | Bloodsport) Β» DECEMBER 8th to 13th Β» When she gets back after her interruption (though thankfully this time was less of a lengthy absence), she doesn't spend a lot of time on her assigned ship, but she is there — sometimes.

Her sleep is more off than usual after her return; either she finds she can't sleep, or she's asleep for a couple of hours (if that) before she jolts awake after a nightmare. When the latter happens, she doesn't want to disturb her shipmates who are actually getting some sleep in (or she feels too bad about waking one of them up), so she slinks off to another area of the ship to be. Usually that means she'll sit under the stream of hot water in the shower for the ten minutes it's hot, then let the cold water run over her until she can't stand it any more, or she goes to the dining area and pokes at some of the protein stuff that still looks questionable.

If someone in the ship doesn't see her awake in the kitchen, well. Her time in the kitchen also becomes the occasional extra sleeping area for her, when she's stared at protein long enough while thinking about everything and nothing, her head becomes heavy again and she rests it on the table. This doesn't last long, though, because it often only becomes a matter of time before some unpleasant image comes up in her brain, and she jolts awake again — or, she wakes up when she hears the microwave(ish) device beeping at her because her powers are interacting with it as her mind is bothered in sleep. That, or she causes a little shaking that wakes her up.

After that, she usually just walks outside of the ship and goes elsewhere. Sometimes she sits by it. Mostly she needs peace.

02 Β» (ruins | any of them) Β» DECEMBER 14th to 17th Β»
And as the days pass, she takes her sleep-deprived-angry-sad ass to some of the ruins around to go take her energy out on them. Leaping around them like they're some obstacle course, or making some of the rocks shake until they break. Uh, duck?

And when that gets old, she takes a seat on some block of ruin, and tries to meditate. "tries" being he key word, because it often ends up like her attempts at sleep. When her mind tries to enter any state of relaxation, it too often goes back to Krakoa and what she feels is a very personal failure on her part, and that is a little bit too recent, too fresh, for her to get reprieve from just yet. It reminded her of how much she hates herself, deep down, and oneself is an impossible thing to run from. Like sleep, it sends her into panic attacks. Oh yeah, she's definitely her father's child.

03 Β» (et cetera | wildcard) Β» DECEMBER 18th to PRESENT-ISH Β»
[drop me a starter with her somewhere else, or hit me up on PM or plurk to hash a specific thing out.]

"Well, good thing I'm in the market for one," Reeve laughs, gesturing for her to follow him. "The good news is that the place where I have it is a bit away, so you can have your walk and caffeine."

He offers a gentle smile as he starts walking. "I think I have one of the few reserves here. I rarely dole it out. I don't even share with Stark."

"There isn't much in the way of money here. Something must fill its place," Reeve suggested. But clearly she was someone who knew him well, perhaps from back in his world.

Intriguing. That would make her another person from Earth.

"Truly, is a secret handshake that needful when we both already know what it is we share? That could complicate things, what with our hands soon to be full of coffee."
