[Private text to Bruce Wayne]
[It takes her ten minutes and a lot of staring because what she gets out doesn't look right, but in the end, Cass sends the message anyway. He'll get it a few minutes after midnight.]
Marry Krismiss
Love, Cass
[She doesn't expect him to say anything back, but she can't let her first Christmas pass without saying something to him.]
[Video]
[When the video turns itself on, instead of an excited Merry Christmas!, the barge gets a shot of Cass sitting in bed in a blank cabin. She's in her pajamas still, hasn't gotten far, and her eyes are red and she's still crying.]
Merlin's gone. [Her voice is surprisingly even, despite speaking through her tears.] Went to bed and... he was here... Now his room is...
[She doesn't really know what to do, to say, but she knows she has to tell people that Merlin has disappeared, gone home. She's not thinking it might seem strange to most people on the Barge that she'd be sleeping in Merlin's bed at all, not right now. With a swipe at her eyes to try to dry them that completely fails, she tries to continue.]
Don't know... if he'll come back. But, he's...
[She doesn't finish. Instead, her hand covers up the camera and there's a few muffled sobs before the feed cuts off entirely.]
[Spam]
[For anyone who wants to go looking for her, Cass is still in Merlin's bedroom, still in his bed, curled up under the blankets. It's not fair that her first Christmas be like this, that she doesn't even have the familiarity of Merlin's room to comfort her. She'll get up eventually, but it will only be to drag some of her things back to the empty room. She has to save it for when he comes back, can't let anyone else move in. If that happens, she really has lost him.]

27/12/12 02:39 (UTC)I used to be married, but I messed it all up. [ Simple enough to say.]

27/12/12 21:57 (UTC)[She knows what it means, to be married, but she's only ever really talked to married people a handful of times. She's never really seen it up close, seen what it looks like to have that kind of love for someone. All she knows is that it's important and for Doyle to have lost that, it's worth more sympathy than she can give.]

Re: Video
28/12/12 05:56 (UTC)Gonna... put my stuff here. Then... CTS.
[She'll hit things until she can't move, then drag herself back to Merlin's room and pass out for awhile. It's a terrible plan, a horrible way to cope, but it's all she has right now.]

29/12/12 00:50 (UTC)Sounds like a right good plan love, if you need anything like I said. You just be letting me know and I'll be there.

29/12/12 18:43 (UTC)[There's a bit of a sad wave, no smile, and she turns the feed off. She won't be showing up for her reading lessons for awhile.]
