002 | Video | In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ The video screen shows a little girl of about 11 with shoulder length brown hair. You've probably seen her reading a battered book, maybe waiting by the blue lift or following Robert Capa around (and occasionally even holding his hand). She's wearing the standard uniform, but right now? Right now she's more than a little spooked. ]

Anyone who's listening, this ship...

[ She's been exploring. And maybe a bit of the panic is because she's a little lost, too, and it shows on her face. ]

This ship. Something's not right. Something's going to happen but I don't know when or why--

[She closes her eyes, trying to breathe evenly. ]

Something is wrong.

Yeah, yeah, what isn't wrong about this place?

Calm the hell down, kid.

[ She doesn't have time to register that a wolf-tentatcle-jester-thing with a sword stuck in it is talking to her. ]

No, I mean--something bad. Worse. I can't put a finger on it, it--it's.. It's wrong.

[ Capa looks concerned. For once. ]

Chase. What is it?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I got it. A feeling, but.. A feeling. Something's going to happen and I don't know when or how or even what. But it makes my skin crawl and sweat and panic.

[awakenings]

[She's also concerned.]

What's wrong? Are you all right?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I'm--I'm okay, I'm just.. I just thought I felt something, or saw something, or...

[ she's trying to calm herself down now, fidgeting with the sleeve of her uniform ]

I didn't like it.

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT IT'S THAT LITTLE KID.

Hey! HEY YOU. Are you alright--!? Where are you at? What's going on; what is going to happen??

_{[ don't worry, he easily panics. ]}

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ YOUR PANICING IS NOT HELPING AMERICA. ]

I don't know, if I knew I'd share if with the class and I wouldn't be like this.

[constructum]

[ have one slightly worried - or more panicked - ariadne looking into the screen now. ] What do you mean - are you okay?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Have one alarmed child right back! She hasn't calmed down much, despite trying to. ]

I'm fine, no one's hurt. [ She doesn't want to say 'yet' yet. ] I just want to go home. This isn't right.

[Austria looks rather concerned; it's more for her than for the ship, because, hah, doesn't want to think about being helpless against a problem.]

Are you all right? Do you usually get premonitions like this?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

No.

[ Sorry for snapping at you, Austria. She's just a little scared. ]

I mean--no. I'm fine, I just.. I don't like this place.

[Whoa nelly some little filly in distress. Big sister instincts kick in as Applejack responds to her distress.]

It's okay, kiddo, it's gonna be okay. Jus' calm down n' tell me where y'all are. Ah'll come getcha.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Oh god everyone is trying to calm her down and in a weird way that's making her panic even more, though she focuses on trying to decipher the blonde's accent. ]

I--I'm not sure where I am, but.. I...

[ She takes a deep breath. ]

I'm okay.

[video]

[babbletechno.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're okay, all right? Where are you?

You can tell us all about whatever you found when you're settled. This isn't a ship you want to go exploring without a group.

[because that wasn't ominous at all.]

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to open anything, just--just map coordinates, or at least figure out the rough way all of these hallways go...

[Not Here]

[pretendernoia.livejournal.com]

[You just made him even more wary of this ship. He'd attempt to calm you down, but enough people are trying that. So he's going to just wait for you to give out better information. Within the confines of his closet room.]

[Also Not Here]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Hey, he's probably the smartest out of everyone rn ]

[video]

[disfeature.livejournal.com]

[He's shocked. This is the girl who seemed so amused earlier.]

Stay where you are.

[He'd come find you if this ship wasn't so huge, but he has a good idea that you saw something you shouldn't of seen.]

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Anxious.. Chase looks worried, glancing around. ]

Okay, but may I ask why?

[ video ]

[anomalyse.livejournal.com]

[ OH GOD, SMALL, SCARED CHILD. What do. What. Do.

Connor pauses, mentally handwringing, and then decides to reply. ]

Chase? You okay? You—you want me to get someone? [ Like one of the crew who might actually know where you are? ]

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[ Probably not, mentally, but she's now calmed herself down to an efficient means of communicating with people. ]

I just--I think something's off.

[in-three.livejournal.com]

[funny, Jim had been thinking the same thing-- but her reaction seems to be more than that.

his voice is calm and assertive.]

Chase, slow down.

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Kirk. She's glad to see you--really, really glad. After a few moments of silence, she figures she should probably say something.

I'm calm.

...Now, anyway...

[CREEPING ON THIS POST. Maybe he'll say something eventually.]

Chase.

[ Chase visibly relaxes at the familiar quiet calm of Spock's voice, though she's still glancing around her regarding everything with suspicion. ]

Spock, you understand, right? It's not... good, this place.

VIDEO

[consulting]

[ He remembers she's not inclined to text. ]

It would be idiotic for me to ask if you're alright. So I'm going to divert my attentions to a solution to your mild hysteria. What keeps your mood up?

[ Socially inept human being is socially inept ]

I could give you a puzzle, would that cheer you up? A good mystery always helps one of my blacker moods.

[ a longer pause ]

If this is about the bomb, it's perfectly fine.

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

No it's not the bomb.

[ That was a little more snappish then intended. Chase sincerely hopes that doesn't insult you. ]

Sure. Yes. A puzzle, a--yeah.. I like those.

[statsraaden]

Oh, there definitely is something wrong with this ship, I'm sure. But you seem to have seen something new, is that right?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Not new, just... Overwhelming.

Voice

[walksonrooftops]

Chase, are you okay? I can try to find you.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I'm alright. I'm--I'm fine. Just startled.

( voice )

[unparental]

...Are you okay, honey?

[ momdar, activate. ]

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Somebody she doesn't recognize. She immediately regards the tablet sternly, perhaps a little too harshly, but softens when she realizes the other is just human. Or looks it, anyway. ]

I'm alright. An unfortunate series of events, that's all. We need to get home.

audio; better late than never?

[maskiruet.livejournal.com]

Chase?

[ natasha's initial response is concerned, but she keeps her voice level for the rest of it in hopes of calming the girl down. ]

This is Natasha, do you remember me? What's wrong with the ship? Can you tell me?

[ video ] yes!

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ She does. She smiles slightly. ]

I can't tell you because I don't know, it's just.. there.

video;

[iamwinchester.livejournal.com]

Kid. What's wrong?

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

This ship is wrong. This whole ship is wrong.

[ video ] latest ever.

[surrogates]

You just feel like something is wrong. [ no he's not judging, but he's just as concerned as everyone else. ]

Okay, just calm down first before you get yourself into a worse state. Trust me, those always make the feelings worse.

[ video ] Welcomed <333

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I just feel like something is wrong.

[ An echo, sure, but after a few moments she's visibly trying to calm herself down, ending in a huge sigh. ]

I didn't mean to get everybody panicked,but people have to understand the necessity. We need to leave.
