Voxophone II -- PSA

[beunbroken]

[Elizabeth is not in the suite she was last seen at. Nor is she nearly as happy looking. Oh, no, the young woman that appears on the screen right now is extremely cross, her bright blue eyes ringed with red and dark circles. Her mouth is set in a fine line and her jaw tight.]

Do not trust Booker DeWitt. He's a liar and a thug.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

[Without any further explanation, she cuts the feed.]

Almost 20 years, yeah. [She shrugs, avoiding eye-contact, as best she could on-screen.] I do, thank you. I'm staying with a friend now, and I still have my own place if I need it.

Ugh. I'm sorry.

But staying with friend is probably better. If nothing else, somebody to buffer against... further bad things.

You don't need to be sorry, it's not your fault.


[She nods.] my friend is... a mutual friend. I'd stay with another, but it's not really appropriate if I stay with him. [Late Victorian sensibilities, all that.]

I mean just in the commiseration kind of way. It really s-- stinks, when something like that happens.

[ Cassie nods. It's - if she has friends, it's kind of weird to offer a place to stay, especially if there was worry about propriety. What with Scott and her living together. But, still. ]

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the mutual friend will help out. As to the rest... I dunno. If you want some company, or somebody to go shopping with, or whatever, I can help out?

Oh. Then... Thank you. I really appreciate it, Cassie.

[She tries another smile, but it's truly hard, when her world has come crashing down.] I'd like that. A lot.

[ Cassie's return smile is way more real and relaxed. ]

You're absolutely welcome. And... yeah, you just let me know when you're feeling up to it? I'm easy, I work in the morning, but if that's more convenient, I can always ask for the afternoon shift on the next day, if you give me warning.

Of course! Thank you so much.

Anytime!

[ And then, more seriously. ]

Take care of yourself, as much as you can. And, hopefully, until later!
