[Los Angeles had been entirely carefree for Mark; with Sylvanas starting the port off in Zero he had no innmate to look after and had been free to make his way around the city being the world's most identifiable tourist. Somehow he escaped being mugged, and has brought back gifts for two inmates.

The first is a package marked "For Touko, from Mark" and is reasonably small: A photo scrapbook he put together, including pictures of the Hollywood sign, Sunset Strip, the LaBrea Tar Pits, and other famous landmarks around the area. There's even a picture of Kurt Russell ducking into a convenience store. On top of the book is a pair of these.

The second gift is for his own inmate, a dress that seemed made for her (and was a lot less revealing than most of what she already wore). Mark leaves it outside her door and doesn't knock, knowing she'll find it eventually. There is of course no indication who it's from: there's a printed label on the box reading WINDRUNNER but nothing else.

Much, much later he sends off a few private messages.]

[Private to Dean]
Do you still need to talk? I'm sorry I haven't been more available, but it sounded like you were really struggling. How are things now?

[Private to Chris]
Long time, no talking. Did you want to get together again this week?

[Private to Sylvanas]
What did you do in your free time?

We friends now, Funky Bunch?

We already were, weren't we?

I dunno. I guess. How the fuck did that happen?

However it happened, I'm glad it did.

Anyway, how did you like Los Angeles? Did you get sunburned as badly as I did?

L.A. was kick-ass. Except the Riddler and Rorschach both ruined the suits I bought. And then I went vigilante-ing and Megamind gave me a car.

Boy, I know how that feels.

I was wondering where you got the one on the second floor!

What, the suit-ruining?

Yeah, that was a present. I promised not to post to the network for a month and Megamind gave it to me.

Yes. I live with a zombie and I date a demon, it happens.

But you did post to the network, didn't you?

[She is confused by the gift of the dress. And ended up just putting it away and not really looking at it over much. Who the hell got her a dress?]

If you recall, I spent a great deal of it in a prison cell.

[Who the hell indeed?]

You had some time to yourself to wander the ship. Did you do anything interesting?

Nothing that would interest you.

That's not true! You're very interesting.

I walked and occasionally sat. Interesting enough for you?

No one let you into the CES?

[ That would require her to ask someone, Mark.]

No.

Dude, you were dead. I think you get a free pass.

[That was a stall while Dean tries to remember what the hell he's talking about.

Oh. Right.]

Uh. Yeah. I guess... yeah, I could do with. Someone.

Lots of people keep appointments when they're dead.

Do you want to meet and talk it over?

Yeah, and then I- okay. Mm. [The conversation about demons was frustrating enough. Dean doesn't even want to know what Mark has to say about the rest of what he normally hunts.

Buuuut...]

Uh. Actually, I'd be more comfortable if we could... just talk like this. If that's okay.

Whatever you're comfortable with.

What's on your mind, Dean?

I uh. Well. I have this problem.

It's... okay, see, it's like this. I have this problem... trusting people.

I can't do it.

A lot of people have trust issues, Dean. You're not the only one by a long shot. But why do you think that is?

Because I don't... trust... people.

Even people that haven't done anything yet.

[She's there, and still a little bit sick, though up and about. She hasn't had much to do with most of the ship being gone and Chromie's only so interesting (not very). The door opens when he knocks, then, with a scowl on her face that turns into genuine surprise when she sees Mark.]

What is it? I'm not so sick you need to come see me.

[Mark hasn't been on the up and up as much as he should have been -- LA took his fancy in a big way, so his smile turns sympathetic as he sees an under-the-weather Touko.]

You're sick? I'm so sorry, I didn't know. Have you been to the infirmary yet?

I died. I've been dead. I knew nobody would notice.

Where were you?
