[ after waking up, feeling like crap, having a cup of coffee while holding hands with Tony Stark for a good fifteen minutes, it's time to let go. ]

Hey, since we could all use a little good news, I've got some.
Stark came by to move my body in cafe I'm stuck at in New Amsterdam. When we touched, I got kicked out of the sim. Not for long, but long enough to know what happened. It doesn't work unless you're constantly touching someone outside the sim. I'm back in now.
That means it's possible to break out for a while, even if it's not permanent. I know it's been hard, and we don't have much of a choice but to keep going. It's not much, but this is something we can work with.

[ he'll always remember the time they shared feelings, Tony. ]

Well, there's hope.

[variate]

Yeah, it's just a matter of what to do with it.

[deadthenred]

Any ideas?

[variate]

I'm open.
We can wake people up who can help.

[deadthenred]

If we know where to point them, sure
Figure we have a limited time before the AI notices we're missing

[variate]

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.

[deadthenred]

Safer to pretend it's going to happen, regardless.

We'll need something to make sure we can close that gap quickly.
Or we need to hit hard when we do.
