First Full Moon; Voice

[lockwood]

[And the feed opens up to the sound of a sort of annoyed teenage boy.]

Right. I keep forgetting I have this thing. Kind of like a cell phone. Kinda. Anyways, I got all the basic crap explained and everything. Everyone got pulled on this spaceship. No way home. Creepy stuff happens, don't wander the halls alone. All that.

But the thing nobody's really explained to me is why people seem to be from like...the future. Or the past. Or people who should be dead are alive here. And I see some crazy stuff happen at home, but this is still a little weird. You'd think if we were all being pulled from the same world or whatever there'd at least be some consistency.

But let me guess, no one has any answers to that anymore then they do the rest of it. Not surprising, somehow.

[And the feed cuts.]

It's probably to distract us. What better way to occupy our time than to have us spending it figuring out who knows what, who doesn't need to know what, and why this is happening to us. Gives whoever is in charge plenty of time to attack or do whatever it is that kidnappers do on spaceships.

[ she's quiet for a moment. ] I don't like it, either.

Re: [ voice ]

[lockwood]

You're probably right. I guess it's working, the distracting bit.

[He pauses for a moment, awkward, and then switches the feed to something private.]

Uncle Mason's here.

[ voice | locked ]

[disparage]

What?

[ oh, mason. he's probably not happy about this happy meal invasion of vampires. and his death is still pretty recent for tyler, so caroline's all shades of worried. ]

Are you - Does he know he's ... [ this is a big fat mess, and so is caroline's grip on sentences. deep breath in. ] - Are you okay?

What I think - and I could be completely off about this - is that whatever kidnapped us managed to grab people from the moment right before they died. [ He pauses for a moment and then adds, in a more amused tone than he probably should, ] Either that or we're all zombies. Considering I don't feel the need to chow down on some brains, though, I think it's safe to rule that option out.

I guess that makes sense. It's just...weird, I guess. Everyone being grabbed from different times and all. [Not just Mason being alive, but Caroline being from like a year later too. It's an adjustment.]

There isn't a lot about this place that isn't weird.

Where's the fun in giving away all the secrets? [ Said with a derisive sort of snort that shows how much he thinks of this whole business. ] I'm from 1962.

voice;

[lockwood]

Is any of this actually supposed to be fun? [Because Tyler doesn't really think so.] Seriously?

voice;

[doomhoops]

Actually, that would be sarcasm. But yeah, sure, having the time of my life. [ There's a shrug in his voice ] Seriously.

One of the alien guys said it was something about like- universe grab-bags or something. Like, the Tranquility goes into warp or whatever, and when they tear space-time a whole bunch of us get dropped in from a bajillion other alternate universes.

[lockwood]

I guess...that makes sense as much as any of it does. Still, you'd think at least people from the same universe would be from the same time. Or something. Maybe consistency is too much to ask for.

[entrapments]

[ a shrug ]

I dunno, maybe not if like, they were brought here at different times and stuff.

But the whole making sense thing kinda goes right out the window with the you just showed up on a freaky deaky spaceship in a parallel dimension so.

voice;

[cheerioless]

I doubt that whoever runs this ship would even know what consistency meant. Everyone else from my world is from the future, it's .... yeah, weird.

voice;

[lockwood]

Yeah. Some people are from the future for me, and some of the past, and it's just all really friggin' weird.

[backwordscompatible]

My guess? Magic.

[She's not even being sarcastic]

[lockwood]

Makes about as much sense any other answer I could think of.

[heterophobe]

How about 'the reason is: there is no reason?'

[lockwood]

Wow, take you long to think up that answer?

[jilt]

It seems our dear captain has a taste for variety.

[lockwood]

So it would seem.

[unparental]

We're short on answers and exit signs. Fun, huh?

How you holding up? I bet Mason's thrilled you're here.

[lockwood]

Sounds like a whole lot of it.

I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say thrilled.
