The rose begins glowing brightly, bright green sparks flying from it. Niki's body begins glowing as well, until it is completely blanketed in light. It begins to levitate off the ground slightly. With a bright flash, she is lowered back onto the ground. A wilted rose rolls off of her.
Niki opens her eyes. "...ugh... so bright.... ➜" She squints up at the sky. Her glasses are missing.

Mike looks down at Niki. "Welcome back Sleeping Beauty. Have a nice nap?" He holds out his hand, in it was a clear band looking thing.

'O-oh, alright...' She takes the glass and sips a bit of the water. She seems to have noticed something. 'A-are you cold....?'
Elsey squints from the extremely bright light. As it subsides and Niki stirs from her sleep of death, she sighs in relief.
'Welcome back to the Waking World, Niki.'

Niki looks up at Mike and Elsey. An odd audience to greet her re-entry into this world, her ex-boyfriend and a friend's former guide with the slight misfortune to have a resemblance to her late nemesis. She sits up a bit to gather her bearings. "hi guys... man, it's weird being alive again. ➜"

"Better than being dead I'd hope." He offers her a hand to get her on her feet. "I'd imagine it was quite something being that way for a while though."

"Yeah, it feels great being back again. ➜" Niki closes her eyes for a moment, taking in what her other senses provide her. She opens her eyes again and realizes she's been leaving Mike hanging this entire time. She accepts the assistance and is pulled up, now standing.
"It sorta was like a hazy dream, but darker and kinda... lacking I guess? ➜" She shifts her weight a little bit, getting used to using her legs again. Thankfully she is still wearing her prosthetic leg. "I vaguely remember going on some sorta crazy adventure... and then ending up spending some time with my other self. She really seemed to be... pretty emotional most of the time. ➜" Niki stares off in no particular direction for a moment before returning her attention back to Mike.

"Well I hope she is doing better." Mike offers Niki the clear band looking thing again. "Here. It's a ClearGlass. It adjusts itself to your eye's vision to act as temporary glasses."

"I-i think I might need α moment. Mαke yourself αt home!" He quickly makes his way back to the kitchen, towards the cupboards under the sink. In his panic, he speeds up time for himself, making him move much faster to those at average clock speed.
Seth pulls out a gallon of bleach, an empty plastic bucket, a sponge, and a roll of paper towels. He begins to fill the bucket with hot tap water, which due to time dilation, come out of the faucet twice as slow from his point of view. He speeds up the faucet to his level and soon the bucket is half-full. He pours a couple capfuls of bleach into the bucket.
He opens the fridge and this time, being prepared, captchalogues the dead axolotl consort. It's a good thing a standard array modus does not leak anything, including foul smells.
At this point, he begins scrubbing the interior of the fridge from top to bottom, discarding anything else left in there. At least he had kept it relatively empty since retiring from his stint as a superhero a couple years ago. Had it really been that long since he's last been around here? Time sure flies alright.
Soon enough, the refrigerator is spotless and clean, with a slight scent of watered-down bleach. Any cleaning product is better than the stench of a decaying corpse.
To the outside observer, this ordeal would take about 15 minutes, though to Seth it was an entire half hour of non-stop cleaning. Exhausted from his extended use of time powers while cleaning, he nearly collapses onto the floor, sitting up against the kitchen wall. He hasn't done this kind of labor for quite a while.

Niki hesitantly accepts the clearglass thign and tries to put it on somehow. "um... thanks? Where did my glasses go anyways, if you don't mind answering? ➜"
She checks her sylladex and her glasses are nowhere to be found in it, her jigglypuff hat and pin also missing. "I kinda had some important programs installed on that thing... ➜"
A moment of realization left her in temporary shock. "...oh no. ➜"

Aside from the light vibrations coming from the tiny device she had which she dismissed and captchalogues, Kat is completely unaware of what was going on in the house. Eventually, she nods off into slumber.
----
Elsey, as much as she was relieved that her friend is alright, tilted her head questioningly as Niki mentions her hat and glasses. 'Please don't tell me that there is sensitive, important information hidden in those.'

Niki looks straight ahead at Elsey with a worried look. "Worse: Skaianet exile console software ➜"
"With that kind of power... He could dictate and guide any session through its players and their guardians... He could rig their destiny to fit his bidding. ➜" She takes a deep breath. "We need to find my glasses. ➜"

'What the hell, Niki. Why do you keep that in a -personal- computer!?'
Elsey does not like the prospect of having that in the hands of a power-hungry twit. Her speech becomes more and more curt.
'Where the fuck could it be now, then?'

She sighs in shame. To think she went through all the trouble to hide that revival rose and yet she wore her freaking computer glasses on the day she knew she was going to die. She put countless in danger while only thinking about herself. She had no excuse for her actions. She absolutely has to set things right here. Now is the time for action.
Niki takes another deep breath and tries to think back to the day of her execution. If she is going to set things right, she has to put everything she has to good use. It takes a moment, but she eventually recalls some key details. "...Well, I was wearing my glasses when I died over here... And he was using Seth's body... We should check Seth's house over there and then ask him if he has any of my stuff. ➜"
She then remembers a moment after the trial when she told him a bunch of important information and he got angry. Even when she does the right thing someone is always on her case for whatever.
"Hopefully he understands and cooperates. ➜"

"Ah don't worry about him. I'm sure he'll be fine with it." Mike stuffs his hands in his pockets and starts walking towards Seth's house.

'Let's try not to be too hasty.'
Elsey shrugs and follows along, arms behind her head and floating casually.
