[Audio - midday, Tuesday - OPEN CHANNEL]

[Open channel audio again. Someone really needs to teach Elissa the correct use of the communicator. Instead of going out to a specific individual, anyone can hear the message.]

Haruka? I need my things. I have no money, no clothing, no protection. The people we thought dead are alive. Can I not regain my possessions?

[Fumble, fumble. *click*]

Because handing a murderer weapons is always such a good idea.

The Ship can resurrect people. Just because they're here now, doesn't mean you didn't kill them.

Am I not entitled to my valuables and clothing? You would send me into this world with nothing but the armor upon my back?

Anything non-lethal, maybe. But until we're sure you're not going to relapse, I'm not sure how much I trust you with sharp objects.

[Haruka looks somewhere between amused and annoyed.]

You know, you can just call me direct. I'm with the other two, though. No fancy weapons or poisons or anything for muderers.

[If Haruka has her way, she'll even warn the local merchants and authorities not to sell her any weapons. Just in case.]

[There is exasperation in Elissa's voice and she's still on a audio only.]

If I knew how to message you, I would do so. Am I not allowed even my bow and arrows in order to feed myself?

You find my name in the contacts or you write it in or whatever, and then it calls me specially. I don't know what your thing looks like, or I could tell you better.

And no, you do not get your bow and arrows. This is a civilized city. Go get a damn job. If I can find one, I bet you could.

[Now there is a touch of anger in the Warden's voice.]

You would deny me the ability to make my way in this world using something familiar? This city is strange to me! My intent is to go into the wilderness to find a home - not stay in this place of confusion and bizarre customs.

How would you feel, if someone took your precious sword?

If she murdered a half dozen people, we would take her sword.

[Elissa makes a noise like a snort - or a scoffing sound.]

Is there a local madhouse? Perhaps you would all be more content to house me there.

Actually, yeah. It's better than you deserve, but we can't have everything.

If they would let us, maybe we would.

Besides, if someone took my sword, I would not be helpless. And if I was murdering people, it would be just if they took it. You have not proven that you are not capable of doing it again.

I am more than capable of doing it again - but I have no reason to do so. We spoke of this madness, Haruka! Before I came here, I gathered and led an army against a Blight. I lost my family - my home... and just when the Archdemon was defeated and I could finally find *rest*, I end up in *this* place.

[She is starting to sound very much like the over-burdened 20-year-old that she has been for months.]

Please... let me have that which is familiar to me. Please.

Maybe you should try going a whole week without killing anyone before you start asking for your weapons back. Just a thought.

And who is going to watch me for the duration to insure this?

[Elissa has apparently learned to speak in snarky italics from the brief time she spent in the company of Bones.]

May I at least have my healing poultices? The herbs I wanted to trade? My coin? Gems? My mother's jewelry? My hairpins? My small clothes?

Are you so bad at bathing that your underwear counts as a lethal weapon? Because no one's said anything about keeping your other crap.

Although I'm putting in a vote for no on jewelry until the people you murdered have a chance to claim theirs.

Inara is welcome to all that is her own from my pack. I had wanted to meet with her to return it and apologize, but it seems that shall not happen. She may also have the unset ruby, if she desires, but I would prefer to keep the diamond.

Any pieces with a laurel inscribed upon the back belonged to my late mother. I would be most appreciative if those were kept safe as they are my only remembrances of her.

I took nothing from anyone else... except life.

[Eyeroooooll.]

Sure. I have not let anything happen to it so far, after all.

And hey, I have no desire to take anyone's underwear. That is all yours. Meet me somewhere, I will give you all the stuff that is not dangerous.

The market? Is that a safe enough public space? I...

I know that other voice. Is that you, Kozmotis? Will you intercede as well as serve as my watchman?

You'll be a bit busy to practice your archery or swordplay.

Rather difficult to do that without weapons, but at least you have saved me from less lawful ways of feeding myself.

Or while you're building a house.

Building a...

Right.

I'm going to end this now, if I remember how to do so.

[SCREEEEEEE. SQUEAL. FEEDBACK. Finally... nothing.]

I will.

[Yep.]

Unless you lot don't think I'm capable of it.

Better you than me, Kozumotis-san. Meet me and Elissa in the market in Poseidon then, around five tonight?

[She's got shit to do first, okay?]

That good for you, Elissa?

I've watched over more difficult.

[There's a grim sort of honesty there.]

I'm fine with that, yes.

Yes, thank you.

I will be watching.

Good. Ja.

[And with that, Haruka disconnects. She'd like to believe Elissa is as she says she is, and well again-- or not always a psychopath, anyway-- but she is not long on trust.]

I think that you're entitled to your valuables once you've returned mine.

Inara? Is that you? You are welcome to them and more. I fully intend to return them along with a gift, but it seems other people have taken possession of everything at this time.

Perhaps I will speak with them, then.
