video (boggart sighting!)

[fertilefeet]

[When she'd gone from the gardens to try to surprise Leia, the last she she'd been expecting it to run into someone. Especially someone who was supposed to be dead, she can remember his death and the smell of fires burning around them on Arima. She can remember Legolas' broken leg and the nightmares he'd given to his prisoners and more.

Panic had swelled in her chest and she felt like she forgot how to breathe as she looked up at him and he grabbed her. In another time and place, she apparently finds the courage to rival him but not here and not now. She freezes and then struggles only to be rewarded with a backhand.

It was enough to snap her into action and she did all she could. She sang, one of Daeron's songs but she infused what she could of her own power into it and ran, hoping it would hold him back.

She ran back to the gardens and there she fumbles with her communicator. Her hands are shaking and her face is pale except for a slowly forming bruise under her right eye.]

M-Morgoth-

I saw Morgoth in the halls. [Even knowing Thranduil had cut his head off, somehow he's there.]

Comments

[Leia is monitoring the network in Communications when her friend appears on it. She can see the bruise and the fear on the elf's face and she stands up, checking that she has her blaster at her hip and replies as she heads towards the Oxygen Gardens.]

Are you near the flets now, Lúthien? If so, stay there. I'm on my way to you.

[fertilefeet]

[Her eyes flick towards the screen and she nods slowly. The last thing she wants is for Leia to come rushing to the gardens but at the same time...]

Be careful.

[borntorebel]

[The problem with someone as headstrong as Leia is that telling her not to do something is useless. And there's no way she's going to leave Lúthien alone when she looks so terrified.]

Of course. Is Artanis nearby?

[puppydogeyes]

Where?

[Straight to the point, without fuss or attempt to comfort. There's no time for that if Morgoth's back.]

[fertilefeet]

The first floor, I was on my way to visit Leia.

video;

[puppydogeyes]

[That's enough to have her moving, the camera shaking unsteady as she walks - quickly.]

Did you see anyone else?

[That might have been nearby, in Morgoth's path. Or with him. He'd had a accomplice, hadn't he?]

[de_void]

[shit fuck damn, stiles is not up for more funtime in dreamland right now.]

What happened?

[fertilefeet]

[Is anyone that went through that?]

I- I was going to see Leia and I ran into him in the hall. [Almost literally, in fact.]

[de_void]

[probably not, no.]

Where were you when it happened? [so he knows which floor to avoid like hell.]

voice

[ryuuzaki]

In the halls...?

Did anyone see him at the jump, or since then?

voice

[fertilefeet]

I do not recall anyone mentioning him. And I did not see him during the jump myself but rarely do I linger.

[ryuuzaki]

[He sounds troubled.]

I suppose it's possible that he could have woken early, left the jump quickly, and moved into the halls, but... he was killed before, wasn't he?

[favouring]

Morgoth is dead.

( it isn't exactly an argument-- bewildered, startled, upset. it is a statement of fact in a place where no facts seem to be absolute for very long.

she is dead, too, and so was nuada-- )

[fertilefeet]

I know. [She says slowly.]

But I saw him, he grabbed me...

[mindtricks]

[ morgoth — anderson wishes that the name alone didn't hold some power over her, didn't still remind her of the things he'd done to her, that she could say it no longer mattered.

her stomach still drops.

at least, if nothing else, she knows how to continue moving even when she's afraid, not to let it paralyse her. she doesn't bother asking are you sure.

instead: ] Where?

voice;

[fertilefeet]

[She knows that feeling. And she doesn't blame anyone for any feelings that come attached to the Dark Lord.]

First floor. Near Leia's room. I do not know if he will still be there.

voice;

[mindtricks]

[ anderson's not sure whether to go there and try to shoot him in the head before he gets into hers, or whether to avoid that spot at all costs.

no, that's not true: she knows that neither one is really an option. ] Are you all right?

[starbuckslord]

Morgoth? [ Sorry, Peter wasn't exactly aware of the Dark Lord during his time here. ]

video;

[fertilefeet]

[This one takes her a little while to answer so she's a little calmer when she does.]

A Dark Lord. He is murderous and cruel, caring only for his own desires. While here was here, he took Thranduil prisoner and tortured him. And later kidnapped a number of us and took us to Arima. Many of us suffered a different kind of torture there.

[starbuckslord]

[ "Dark Lord." Must have been the usual brand of psychopath Peter was used to from outer space. Still... ]

Geeze. How long has it been since anyone's last seen him?

[birdarang]

Morgoth? Who is he?

[fertilefeet]

He is a Dark Lord, one of the Valar but cruel and selfish. He captured and tortured many people while he was on board this ship. Even took control of some minds.

[birdarang]

And you saw him on the ship? Did he leave a while ago, or is there a second one of him on the ship now?

[altercate]

[ haha fuck. ]

You're sure it was him?

[fertilefeet]

I am. I could never mistake another for him. I am not sure that anyone could.
