OPEN | βwe could just run them red lightsβ
WHO: Lorna Dane + anyone
WHERE: Various
WHAT: Lorna is back from a canon update β¨
WHEN: Because I am eight million years late getting this up, prompts vary between December 8th and nowish.
WARNINGS: Spoilers in post for X-Factor (2020) up to issue #4.
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.]

no subject
Both of the last two statements being extreme understatements at that. To call it a 'nickname', and Erik's general...attitude.
"As far as I'm concerned, given how weird magic operates in our universe and its penchant for being fickle and everything else being not what they seem, we're still family by genetics. And even if we weren't, or aren't &emash; or whatever the fuck &emash; we're chosen family, which is just as legitimate. And regardless if it was by chance or choice, there's no way in hell I could have gotten a better nephew, so I'm sorry but you're stuck with me. And I am absolutely looking out for David."
no subject
And the fact was that he still loved her.
Still, he smiles at the declaration that they were family.
"I don't mind being stuck with you. Green-fam gotta stick together, right?" he asks, smiling at her as he leans his head against Lorna's shoulder. "And good on the looking out. Like the guy, but David gets himself into stupid shit all the time. Like me."
