Re-Arrival; OTA
Who: Michonne, various others, you!!
Where: Gardens, inside the mansion, around.
When: Backdated to 6-2
Rating: Could get adult situation-y, will edit if not suitable for general audiences.
Summary: Michonne is back after being gone longer than normal.
The Story:
[ When Michonne arrives back, she's in the gardens. She has no idea that she's been gone now for two weeks instead of one. She's also dressed for heavy winter, and as soon as she remembers where she is and what Wonderland is, she lets out a breath and removes her katana, then her coat before putting the katana back over her shoulder. There's nothing to be done for the rest of her hot snowy-weather clothing, so, for now, she trudges toward the mansion.
For the first time though, in all the times she's left and returned, everything with her is good. Alpha's still out there, shit might fall apart soon, but she was having a snowball fight with her kids. That's better than any time she's returned before.
She has no idea she died before she left Wonderland, so her pace, while hurried because there are people to see, isn't panicked. There's a lot to tell Regina, especially, some that Michonne isn't sure how to explain. But she will. Somehow, she will. For now, she looks woefully over-dressed for the hot weather and squints at someone who appears to be walking toward her but is still too far to see clearly yet. ]
[ The three people Michonne makes it a point to see are Regina, Clementine, and Louis. She knows that once she's home, in her room, there won't be any coming out of it for a while, so she sends a message to Clementine and Louis, letting them know she's back, that she's safe. But as soon as she can, she heads to see them too, needing to reassure herself that there still here--especially Louis. She hates so much that she left. Not just before she could be there for Louis, but because she hadn't been there for Clementine either.
By now she knows she died (apparently a lot of people did), and that makes it death number four on the books for her. So, the tone is a little different now, but still, she needs to be sure everyone she loves is alright. Last she remembers everyone was being attacked by aliens. This is what has Michonne going from the 8th floor down the 7th, and eventually the kitchen. It's been so long since she's had a real meal, and she has no idea what she'll make with unlimited resources. What she thought was going to be some kind of soup turns out to be a not-too-shabby gumbo, the smell of different spices coming together to make one big comforting pot. She even makes rice to go with it, and there's plenty to go around. She makes sure there's plenty to drop off back at the kid's rooms and enough for Regina.
But there's an abundance for anyone who wants some, and as she stirs the rice, she speaks up at the sound of footfalls. ]
Plenty of shrimp gumbo if you're into that sort of thing.
[ When she leaves the kitchen, she leaves a glass bowl of food in front of both Clementine and Louis' doors. ]

RE-ARRIVAL; GROUNDS

INSIDE THE MANSION
[ The three people Michonne makes it a point to see are Regina, Clementine, and Louis. She knows that once she's home, in her room, there won't be any coming out of it for a while, so she sends a message to Clementine and Louis, letting them know she's back, that she's safe. But as soon as she can, she heads to see them too, needing to reassure herself that there still here--especially Louis. She hates so much that she left.

HECK YES LET'S SETTLE IN FOR PAIN
As such, he's endlessly relieved when he gets her message. He's even more happy to see her when she comes to his door soon after. There's a temptation to go yell at Clementine to come across, but he has important business first. That important business being launching his gangly ass at her to give her a tight hug the second he claps eyes on her. He lets out a noise that's mostly laugh with a slight touch of hysterical sobbing mixed in. ]
Oh my god, you're back, you're actually fucking back! I was so worried.
/CRACKS KNUCKLES
Her hair's different now, shaved on one side, and maybe there's a different hardness in her eyes now, but she's still her. She's still his mom in Wonderland. ]
I'm sorry, Louis. That was real shitty timing.
[ He gets another hug, and this time, a kiss to the side of his head. Full mom mode.]
no subject
Hey, it's not your fault. Wonderland did it, which was super rude.
[He smiles at her- the smile is real, he's so very glad to see her. There's a tiredness to it though, lingering behind it. He's better than he was, those few days when he came back. He's managed to gather up his broken pieces and he's almost put himself back together again. Only almost, though. He's managed to get his goofy mask back on, but around those that know it for what it is- it's a little harder to keep up. Not that it stops him from trying.]
Loving the new hairstyle. Very stylish. You'll be on the cover of Vogue any day now.
no subject
She gets it. ]
You know, I almost cut it all off. Every single loc. Needed somethin' different, but Judith talked me out of it.
[ Judith can talk her into (or out of) anything. ]
Take a walk with me? Most everyone said nothing's changed, I still like to see for myself. Could use the company.
no subject
[He hopes that means Judith is okay. He hopes most of Michonne's people are okay. They've been through enough.]
Sure, I'd like that. We can catch up, and you can see that Wonderland's not a smoking crater- which is a bonus, I guess.
[Though there's the whole Jabberwock deal now which is not a good thing- from what he's gathered from those that know about it.]
Hey, maybe we can head by the music room too. Got something for you there.
no subject
[ It's a moment to be lighter, to take a breath. There's so much she feels like she needs to say, should say. None of it sounds like what she should say.
Clementine had to put me down once isn't a great thing to have in common. Fuck. ]
Found out what happened to me happened to a whole lot of people. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up.
[ She's sorry she wasn't there to begin with, but she's trying to keep it lighter than that. ]
no subject
[The tiniest of smiles flits across his lips- because it is something he's wnated to give her- even if the gift is slightly belated after everything. It's something positive to focus on, too- instead of the awful, roiling torment of all the crap they've both been through.]
That's okay, wasn't your fault- I mean, shit, no one had any control over that mess.
[And it sounds like a god-awful way to go.]
I'd ask if you're okay, but the answer is probably not- but uh... the sentiment's still there.
[He's worried about her. Moreso than he is himself.]
no subject
[ She isn't worried. But she does smile just a little at him. ]
Lot of time passed. Five years. Bad things happened, they always do. But--
[ Michonne isn't sure why she hesitates; maybe because bringing up her son forces her to bring up his father. ]
I had a baby. RJ. He's four now. And of course, there's still Judith. It's the three of us now, still in Alexandria.
[ She hopes that last sentence is enough. Rick's dead, and she doesn't want to talk about that part. ]
no subject
[His eyebrows raise. Five years is a long fucking time to be away from here. He can't even imagine what it's like to be torn from home after so long to come back here.
Still, he picks up what she's putting down. He knows the pattern they weave in their shared home too well. The unspoken acknowledgement of the death of a loved one and the equally silent plea to not bring it up. HIs heart breaks for her, but he doesn't press her for the details. Instead, he leans in, giving a half-hug, not pity, but support.]
Well, I know for an absolute indisputable fact that they're lucky to have you.
no subject
[ Which is untrue, but she's aiming to (at least for right now) keep the mood lighter. ]
Judith has a little sword now, carries it around all day every day.
[ There's a little pride there. More than a little. She'll get back to probing Louis a little more on how he really is, but she doesn't want to bumrush him with emotions on a hard topic. ]
no subject
[He does mange a chuckle- something that probably would have sounded disjointed and wrong a week ago. But this time, at least, there's genuine warmth there. ]
Awww really? That's so cool. I'm sure she kicks all the ass with it, too.
[For a stranger for their world, the idea of one so young actually needing to kick any ass at all with a sword would be ridiculous. But theirs is a world where being a kid is a luxury the can only afford in brief spurts. If Judith's been through half the shit AJ has already, he doesn't doubt she knows exactly how to use that sword and probably has used it.
He appreciates not having to talk about himself. He's not great at looking after his own bullshit and he'd rather avoid talking about it forever. Not healthy at all, but better (in his mind, at least) than dwelling on it. ]
How's she doing? With everything?
[Also a roundabout way of checking how things ARE for Michonne. The state of her community in general.]
