( This is not meant for Maria, but Maria gets it anyway. Great, right? )
Since we've graduated to flirting, don't you think it's about time Hope's "best bartender" let his ex show his face? We've had two conversations without being at each other's throats. You know the intimate details of my life. I think it's time.

[Well, this is going to be embarrassing. Bass was bored. And home from work early, but no Alex, so. He thought about sending a playful, sexy message. And then thought a picture might be fun. He's so not a dick pic guy--they weren't really much of a thing before the power went out, so this isn't that. What it is is him naked, leaning against their bed--palming an obvious erection, which is visible, as are his pecs and abs, even if he isn't fully displaying the erection. He is also standing and framed in such a way that the mirror on the wall is giving a very clear view of his, admittedly kinda spectacular, ass. He types up the accompanying text, then feels like an idiot and that he's way too old for this and deletes the whole thing. Unfortunately, for him, the network has other ideas, and sends it out, but not to Alex.]
Got home early from work. Missing you. Come home and help me take care of this?
[Bass isn't sure he should call Maria about this--he's not comfortable talking about it, but ahe already knows part of it, and he's got something important he needs to be sure of.]รฅ
Hey, Maria. Listen, I've got a favor to ask. I gotta go away for a little bit, and I need you and Liz to look after Alex for me, please. He's gonna want to blame himself, and I need you to make sure he doesn't think this is because of him. This is my own fucked upedness, and it would've happened eventually, because it always has, always does. This is just the first time I've beenable to ask for real help.
[ There's a frown on her face at the start of the message and it only deepens as Bass continues through with what he's saying. She doesn't interrupt, though it's a hard thing, because she's hoping he'll make sense at some point. ]
Gotta go away? Where, Bass? We're stuck in a city where half the place is a hell hole of a turf war. What real help are you getting exactly?
I woke up this morning to find Michael asleep in his bed. He's unresponsive but physically fine.
I don't know if anyone's told you about this but sometimes people fall into a coma like state here, perfectly fine and basically in stasis for a week or so. When they wake up they've lived out more of their life, remember things they haven't before. Sometimes they're older looking depending on how long it's been.
I'm adjusting my schedule and spending more time with him. You can come by and stay with him if you want as well. We don't know how much they're there, or what they hear or know but I know it will make me feel better.
1. I am part alien. 2. I'm a bit psychic. 3. #1 and #2 are true of my mother, too, and she has lost some of herself because of it. 4. I've been in a threesome. 5. Text with a truth of your own.
there is a way but it also inhibits my abilities. and I'm not sold on that. it's not like I'm using my abilities well and every day to improve the world or anything, but I don't like the idea of holding myself back or being scared of what's coming.
[ She's had a bad feeling in her stomach ever since she woke up, impossible to shake but unidentifiable. So when she answers the phone, she sounds pleased to hear from him, but not quite as pleased as she usually would be. ]
[ A day or so after the Finder, Maria will get a (clearly carefully worded) message out of the blue: ]
Good day, Miss DeLuca. I apologize for the unexpected message, but you were recommended to me as a trustworthy Dominant. I didn't see you on the finder so this is likely a long shot, but are you currently looking for a contract?
[ It's a little weird, because back home, they aren't that close anymore. He probably wouldn't have called her directly. She'd have heard from Alex, or maybe Kyle, before she heard it from him.
But it was different here. He's trying to remember that. ]
Hey, DeLuca. Figured I should let you know I'm awake again, and okay.
I was home for two years. Got a lot to tell you, if you want to hear it.
