[ Chase does not look comfortable. Not spooked, per se, but when the video flickers on the little girl looks tired. Less burdened and more concerned.

This is something she genuinely doesn't know the answer to. ]

Hello, everyone--I regret to be the one to point this out.

[ A beat--she's worryingly playing with the paper bow tie she's made ever since the Doctor disappeared, and with a lick of her lips she's speaking again, eyes darting down to something on her lap. ]

It's funny. This list--it's amused. Laughing at us. I don't--I don't like it. And that's not everyone on the list. It's a fraction of it.

But the laughter. It's ringing in my ears and they're so, so, giddy.

Based on what proof?

perm voice from erik ):

[swagneto]

As if we weren't squirming enough in the first place. [ Erik's annoyance levels are reaching max. ]

I suppose the better question is the one on everyone's minds: what's the connection.

Laughing? I must be too new to understand the joke.

[Other than getting that everyone is flipping their shit over this.]

That's alright. Who told you, then?

[the_vishual]

Who or what wrote it. It won't leave my head, like drums. Beating and beating and beating and beating...

[the_vishual]

I wish it was a joke that wasn't at our expense, sir.

[swagneto]

[ Well this is going to be painfully uncomfortable, but Erik has a point to it. ]

You're a child. The last thing you need is to be forced into a position where you're made to do something.

[ Because he's been there, he's done that, and Erik has no intention of allowing anyone to go down that route. ]
