Action:

(Her eyes felt like glass and it took a few moments to get them to open for a minute to see the familiar set up. Had she been dreaming about that? About having to run away - well drive away? About...being blown? Did any of that really happen? But, if that had been a dream? Wouldn't she had woken up in the apartment here? Or in the shop?

She couldn't remember where she had fallen asleep last, but she supposed it didn't matter very much - she still felt so tired, so nervous. Then a small voice in her head began to chide her to just rest some more. She was without a good night's sleep to begin with.

"Maybe going back to sleep was best for now..."

The woman tried to run onto her side but was stopped by the weight of the familiar box lying on top of her and the fact the box she was lying in was more confined than a bed. This caused a few light curses to escape her and she moved herself back onto her back.

She tried to let herself drift back into sleep and it seemed like she had succeeded for a few moments but she found herself muttering,)

"This is very uncomfortable. I can't sleep like this..."

(Then she sighed and forced herself upright before opening the box and pulling out the necklace and the wad of red bills. Then she fumbled for the device and took a moment before turning it on and putting it on video.)

Video:

Uh, um...hey, it's Marie... and I mean, before anyone thinks I need help figuring out what to do here before...I still remember so you don't have to worry about that.

(The woman tries to smile, but she looks slightly uneasy and even spooked. Even more than that, she looked as if she had been robbed of a good night's sleep.)

Well... I guess it doesn't really matter that I'm doing this, but.... I guess I'm back? Or something...

(The video cuts and she lets herself fall back into place. She will just rest a few more moments before wandering out of here and hopefully managing to go to the closest place she ever had to a  home again.)

[When he shows on screen, he looks a little annoyed, if not a little humiliated, managing only a very slight smirk this time around. Anyone who was familiar with his appearance would possibly notice the purple lines on his neck instead of their normal blue. He lets out a quiet sigh, while a german shepherd puppy occasionally jumps into the feed.]

Well, I sure as hell screwed that up, didn't I? Hope I didn't miss anything exciting while I was gone.

So, uh. Please tell me someone got out of that Loci's Wabe place in one piece. [He pauses.]

And please tell me they've got my mask too. I kind of need that, and I really don't want to have to go back in there to retrieve it.

[Later on, Gale decides to take a bit of a gamble, one he desperately hopes will pay off. He decided to make another trip to Fayren, in hopes of perhaps encountering a mage that would possibly help him with his current problem. His body was moving and reacting slower than normal, and he couldn't let that get any worse. He understood the potential difficulty in this endeavor- with the Hands of Decay problem, mages might not want anything to do with outsiders seeking their aid, but maybe if he displayed a little magic himself and offered to help whoever was going to lead the charge against them, he might get somewhere.

For now, he was just sticking out like a sore thumb in Fayren, looking around the area and seeming more than a little uncomfortable. He knows he's no where near Loci's Wabe, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous about being in Fayren again so soon.]

[Well, Zaveid is pretty surprised to be waking up in this unknown place. He couldn't remember seeing a place quite like this before. The buildings and the devices all so foreign.

Even that snow white lady suddenly appearing and explaining things had caught him a little off guard. He didn't know if the Shepard or any of the other crew was around, and that could be problematic.

He left the Bay, stuffing the contents that he was given into his pockets. He was just strolling along the sidewalk, moving past the humans because surly they couldn't see him, right? It took a special sort of person to see Seraph. Sorey, Rose and Alisha were the last few humans that he'd encountered that could see them. It wasn't such a common ability, at least not anymore.]

Man oh man. It’s going to get boring here really quickly if there ain’t any other Seraph around. [He said with a heavy sigh. Maybe he would end up lucking out, though, and someone would be able to see him.] Maybe lady luck will shine on me and this place will be filled with Babes. That hologram girly didn’t look too bad.
