Ship Post #001

[speakveryclearly]

[Kanaya did not know where she expected to find herself after leaving the asylum, but it was probably not here. Another strange respiteblock. A little more Alternian by aesthetic at least. Okay. Great. What the hell is going on.

Still feeling the newhatched sensation just barely worn off, she opens the door and wanders out, calling to see who else is out there.]

Hello...

Comments

[speakveryclearly]

Okay... So was I... with you in the City, then. The one run by the Annie Mouse?

[dicey]

The Animus. Yeah.

[she starts walking faster, getting a little nervous now-- this place sure seems empty]

[speakveryclearly]

The way you described events I suppose that's something Linda and the Animus have in common. Sudden changes in location or circumstances.

[dicey]

They don't really change our location. I don't think they can.

[speakveryclearly]

Linda definitely could do that. Maybe they're collaborating.

[dicey]

[she shrugs, unconvinced]

I just want to find more people.

[speakveryclearly]

[Thinking a minute and then calling again, one hand around her mouth though voice not raised.]

Gokuderaaaaaa.

[dicey]

HANNA FUCKING CROSS, WHERE ARE YOU?

[speakveryclearly]

[She is slowly getting the eerie feeling that they are alone wherever they are and she doesn't like it.]

If Gamzee doesn't show himself in five minutes, I think when he inevitably does I will just murder him again.

[dicey]

I thought you didn't like being around Gamzee. What gives?

[speakveryclearly]

I don't, I just--

He has to be here, there's no way he's not.

[dicey]

I don't know why you think that!

Are you guys friends now?

[speakveryclearly]

Best hatefriends. I think. He's just such a subversive clown and the only one who never left - does that happen in the city, do people just... leave.

[dicey]

Yeah.

[and she's wondering if she's one of them now]

[she starts walking faster]

[speakveryclearly]

...

[She's not exactly sure what Vriska's thinking but she feels like she said the wrong thing.]

We've got to find something eventually.

[dicey]

Yeah.

[she falls silent-- if Kanaya lets her, she's going to walk all the way around the ship]

Vriska you're making me imagine the ship as a racetrack

[speakveryclearly]

[She gives up on conversation for the time being too, and she'll keep up with Vriska's pace for sure, but maybe three-quarters through the circuit:]

If we don't find an exit we're going to have to find sustenance eventually.

just as planned

[dicey]

I'm fine. I'm just looking for people.

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah, I'll be fine for quite some time. [But eventually she'll need to drink blood... Her pace increases.]

[dicey]

[aaaand once they've made it all the way around the ship with no signs of life...]

... Fuck.

[she stops, leaning against a wall]

[speakveryclearly]

...

[Peeking into the open - yep that sure is the room she started in; slumping against opposite wall.]

That is probably an appropriate reaction.

[dicey]

Can you leave me alone for a while?

[speakveryclearly]

I can...

[Sort of reluctant but backing away, almost into the open doorway of that room where she woke up.]

[dicey]

Thanks.

[she lets her forehead fall to her knees]

[speakveryclearly]

[And she recedes into that room, closing the door behind her.]
