( except it's several hours before that happens. adrienne can't have an easy day. she hadn't managed to find kyle to get checked out before the sin guards had approached her, ignoring her protests and taking her to the slut center for 'treatment'.
cue later, after fixing that problem (wake up and have good sex, that's the way, right) does she finally text mikaela )
( there's a slightly more sheepish smile to her. she'd managed to wake up looking not too worse for wear despite the five day nap but her fun little afternoon...
she's hoping that mikaela asks no questions on the sex-mussed hair.
or the smell of sex.
no questions, right )
How long until pizza? I won't take long.
( just freshening up and finding not five day old clothes. good job she keeps spares here )
( just gonna zoom there before mikaela can change her mind on the questions.
her hair gets finger-brushed when she's done, and she'll wait on washing that til she has more time, just wanting to freshen up and get some food first )
When she comes back, the pizza's on the coffee table and Mikaela's curled up on one end with a glass of bourbon. There's wine out too, and a couple glasses depending on what Adrienne wants. ]
You didn't miss much, just me being a freak my frantic phone calls. Did you really just...sleep for five days?
( it didn't hurt constantly at least, a dull ache with some occasional movements that made her wince. honestly, it was more annoying than if she'd actually dislocated her shoulder.
except... it hurt her brain to think about, but if the dream had been her life she'd done it at home and now was just the after-effect? )
I know a few people who've had weird home dreams so I'll talk to them and see what they know.
( don't mind her stuffing a bite of pizza into her mouth first )
Stayed in New York instead of running away, moved in with a friend, went back to therapy, worked... few months later took a trip to Switzerland, stayed for a month, started realising maybe I'm not happy in New York for a reason... few months later I have the worst and longest day I don't understand and then we're at today.
[ Her turn to stuff pizza in her mouth as she marinates on all that. ]
Yeah, so that's definitely a mindfuck. It's like...you mentally went home? [ Which is definitely some Star Trek shit. ] But also stayed here at the same time.
Well, if my brain would like to remember that we don't have to mentally bring across the injuries too that'd be great.
( she should probably ice her shoulder even though it doesn't actually have an injury. here anyway. but maybe it'd mentally help?
or she could just do the typical adrienne thing: avoid it! )
At least most of what I went through was positive? Like they're good memories to have even if it's confusing and it's not like I can make any life decisions now.

no subject
Date: 2024-05-12 02:24 pm (UTC)[ it is SO long to wait too, it's driving Mikeala kinda nuts but she waits, fidgeting, until Adrienne texts her back. ]

no subject
Date: 2024-05-12 02:26 pm (UTC)thanks
( making her way downtown
walking fast
going up the lift
til she knocks on the door )
no subject
Date: 2024-05-12 02:29 pm (UTC)[ gotta keep pizza on hand you never know when you're not gonna feel like cooking.
The knock comes and she's yanking the door open, sagging in relief. ]
There you are.

no subject
Date: 2024-05-15 03:32 pm (UTC)( she definitely didn't take a nap and hope to stay asleep for so long.
she picks up one of the glasses, grabbing a slice of pizza as she sits down )
I don't think it was just sleeping. I... I dreamed of home. And it wasn't anything I'd done before being here.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-21 01:08 pm (UTC)[ Dreaming of home. Mikaela does that occasionally, but this sounds different.
And she definitely hasn't slept for five days doing it. ]
Like, future stuff?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-21 06:21 pm (UTC)( because it was that kind of intense real-feeling dream.
especially when she woke up with some of that pain )
I mean, I dislocated my shoulder and I woke up in pain as if I had? I haven't dislocated my shoulder, I mean I woke up and it's fine but... it hurts.
( like a bitch. big pain )
no subject
Date: 2024-05-25 12:31 pm (UTC)[ She's had some, uh. Dreams like that lately but not actually future shit. Just hella kinky. ]
Is it better now?

Date: 2024-05-25 12:54 pm (UTC)Sound coping mechanism in my book.
[ There's certainly plenty of it in this household. ]
I think I've heard it in passing, but I've never actually talked to anyone about it that's had it happened. Til you, anyway.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-25 12:59 pm (UTC)( both sorting through what was 'now' and the other 'now', the weird time difference but also her life. or maybe that was just now her life. fucky )
Like everything was both last week and last year, and I don't know what to call it.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-26 05:23 pm (UTC)[ Too mindfucky indeed. ]
So what all happened? Or do you not wanna talk about it?
