APRIL EVENT: YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME (EPILOGUE)

[one by one, they are brought out of the dream, finding themselves in a brightly lit world of sand and broken glass, of familiar faces and audible relief.

as they pass through the crew quarters, they may notice that some tubes seem to be unoccupied, merely sand and empty air.

when they finally push open the heavy door, they find themselves on deck zero. the familiar terrain of the Serena Eterna. they never really left at all.

it is still and quiet; none of the usual ghostly presences can be found anywhere on the ship; in fact, it seems as if there’s barely enough of… whatever it is to keep the lights on, and they’ll find that all internal locations are dimly lit, making it difficult to search them. and they will be searching.

because Fio wasn’t in any of the tubes.

and neither was the Captain.

and Sparkles is somewhere to be found.]

Nah. I figured if it wanted to it'd tell me its name at some point, and then I just never suggested one for its approval, so it's just my cat.

Tell you? You can speak cat?

I don't think cats here are like cats back home. Anyway mine never said anything.

"Probably not... Are your cats, uh, textured like you?" Look, he doesn't know a polite way to ask if the cats are also playdough.

"Oh, hey, do any of these desserts on the table work for your healing trick?"

"They're more like me than, like... most people, I guess. They don't have fur like Mr Ainsel." He gestures at the little tuxedo cat occupying another lap.

He looks back at Crichton, then at the table. He's carefully assessing the spread before them, analyzing, and frowning faintly as he picks up a little square of cake that might have been at home amid a little doily and a bunch of other insubstantial treats. "This is the closest. I don't know if it'll fix it entirely but maybe it make it hurt less," he offers. He figures that partial healing is better than just leaving it.

"No fur. Huh. That would make vacuuming a lot easier. Cat hair is impossible to get out of clothes and furniture, let me tell ya..." He can only imagine what the Waynes would look like after a week of normal cat hair shedding all over. They'd have to use a lint rollers on themselves every hour.

"If you can at least get rid of this splitting headache I've got, I'll be over the moon, man. Anything you can do would be great."

"Yeah usually it's like, specific people that have fur. Smuldunde's covered in it- one of our local scholars." He thinks about them a lot, if he's honest. He misses his small cadre of simple nerds.

Wayne nods, and picks up the cake, closing his hand around it in a way that might normally squish it but rather than being stuck with fingers covered in pastry, there's nothing there. At least, until he re-deploys it, the crunchy-filtered treat popping into existence again over his palm, rotating once, then disappearing in two large bite-like chunks. It's not the best option for mending, but it's better than it was, the throbbing dying down to a dull, persistent ache.

"Huh. You know, come to think of it I don't think any of my crew on Moya have what I'd call fur. Rygel kinda looks like a toad but that's not fur." Crichton doesn't miss Rygel very much. Or. At all.

He falls silent while he watches Wayne work on that cake morsel. His eyes widen in astonishment when it disappears only to re-materialize in a strangely new form, floating in place until it's munched out of existence for good. The acute pain between Crichton's eyes goes with it.

"Whoa. That was incredible. Feels a lot better. Thank you."

Wayne gives him a thumbs-up. "It's not gonna be totally good but as long as it's not a constant headache anymore. If I can find what I actually need for it I'll let you know though. I know bones don't heal nearly as fast for you guys as they do for us so we're gonna have to fix that ourselves."

"It sure works better than popping some aspirin. Don't sell yourself short." Seriously, he's just happy to have any relief after days of throbbing headaches.

"How quickly can you heal, actually?" He thinks but doesn't say: so you do have bones.

"Depends on a lot of things. How much we sleep, how we were hurt. When I first got here, I was just recovering from the last really bad run-in with Gibby. It was still showing on my skin. I spent a lot of time in the hot tub making sure I was actually fully recovering because of the plate right here-" he gestures at where the sternum would be, "was busted up. We went through a lot of food just making sure we didn't all die in heaps."

"Right. I remember you telling me about that." He naturally frowns hearing about how hurt his friend was. He didn't even know during that first meeting.

"Maybe this is a little morbid to ask but considering all the ways you've offered to help me, I'd like to know how I can return the favor. If I ever find you gravely injured, what would be my best option for you? Do I carry you to the hot tub or...the buffet?"

If there's one thing Wayne's generally pretty good at, it's masking the full extent of his pain. He's had to walk off a lot.

He pulls a bit of a face as he thinks on that. "It'd be nice if you guys could use them the same way I do but I don't think your biology really allows for that. I kinda wanna suggest just letting me die but really it just depends on the situation. If I can still get myself around, food works. Bath's better for long-lasting damage like that." He rubs his hand along the underside of his jaw, trying to figure out a less worrying and potentially labor-intensive alternative.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, alright? I'm pretty good at communicating what I need in the moment at least."

"I'm not so sure resurrection's going to work the same now." So he'd rather do anything to save Wayne and not watch him die. "We'll save that option for last. But whatever happens, I'll do anything in my power to help you. So, I'll hold you to it."
